Enjoyable

The home was comfortable, the kitchen had all the tools we needed to prep meals for a family, and the location was ideal. The home owner was also in touch to ensure any questions that we had were answered. We loved our time there.

Great location and great communication

This is a great location. You can easily walk to Edgartown town center and it has easy access to some beautiful trails through the island preserve. Plenty of room for everyone in this house. Though we didn't use the outside space much (with the exception of coffee on the deck in the morning), it is perfect for hanging and grilling out. The house can hold a lot of guests with the way the bed are arranged. The master has it's own bathroom which was a big bonus. The rest of the rooms share it's own bath. Because we came before the high season, we were allotted some flexibility regarding check out. This was really nice b/c getting the bedding/towels washed before 10:00 would be a challenge (lots of beds!). We brought our dog and were pleasantly surprised that there was a long dog line already attached to the deck outside. The house is on a busy island road with fast moving traffic but there is some privacy due to a fence and the fact that the house is set back a bit. Make sure your littles and your dogs don't wander too far! There were a couple of small items I needed to discuss with the owner and she could not have been more accessible. We plan to stay here again at the same time next year (HS graduation) and would recommend this home to anyone coming to the island.

Edgartown Vacation

The home had all the amenities you could ever ask for. The rooms were spacious and had more than enough beds for everyone. The location was perfect. We could bike to downtown Edgartown and walk to nearby restaurants. It was a short drive to Oak Bluffs. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm everyday, so we ate most of our meals out on the large deck. It was cool enough at nights to have a nice fire in the fire pit and make smores. Highly recommend renting from this host.

Vineyard family holiday vacation

We had a wonderful week on the Vineyard. Ellen, the owner of the property, connected with me before we left, so the check-in process was flawless. The minute we walked into her house we felt right at home. Even our dog, Blue, settled in right away. The location is perfect- a nice walk into Edgartown and within a short drive of the other Vineyard towns and beaches. The night time fires in the cozy living room doing a puzzle or playing games was our family favorite. We loved every moment of our stay and hope to return.

Cozy and Convenient

We enjoyed our stay at Ellen’s house. It’s conveniently located to beaches and bike paths. We took advantage of both during our stay. The house is spotlessly clean, well supplied with a big kitchen and comfy sofas. We stayed in November when weather was too chilly to use the deck but we grilled a Bluefish my husband caught off Chappaquidick. We recommend this house to other groups visiting the Vineyard.

Delightfully welcoming, perfectly located, clean, (with comfortable beds for all!!!) and fully equipped cottage stay for our family of four at this spot at the Vineyard. This long weekend, in spite of weather, was spectacular. The owner was warm, generous, and available when we had questions! Hope to stay there again and again!

Ellen’s Escape

The house was cute, cozy, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well-appointed with dishware, cooking equipment and gadgets. The location was great as far as being central to everything. The owner was very nice, and we very much enjoyed our stay. Note: if you search for a market or grocery, one might not turn up in your app, but there is a Stop and Shop just a half mile down the road.

Great property for a MV trip!

My wife and I stayed at Ellen’s house for a week. The house was perfect for our summer vacation as it provided easy access to Edgartown, short drive to Oaks Bluff and the rest of the island. In addition, if you forgot any items or wanted to talk a walk in the morning for a coffee, but stores and coffee shops were very close. Not to mention access to the bus right outside the property. Ellen’s house was also great because it was puppy friendly which allowed us to bring our Boston terrier and while we brought our own lead, Ellen also had provided one. In addition, the house was spacious and would be great for a family as well with outdoor space and tons of games!

Great stay! Coming back.

Ellen is a great host. Very communicative and helpful. The home was perfect for our family and we planned for more to come but they had to cancel. It would have still been plenty of room. Due to a family emergency, had to cancel the vehicle ferry and we dreaded taking the bus and carrying all of our luggage, beach chairs, coolers, etc. However, Ellen assured us she had beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels AND the bus stop was basically in the front yard. The only reason we won’t be back next year is the number in our party will be too big. Looking forward to staying there again.

Wonderful house in Edgartown!

This house has everything you need for a great vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. Close to Edgartown center, the beaches, and the supermarket. We appreciated all of the beach chairs, towels, and games to help keep the kids happy. Nice deck, grill, and plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Ellen is a joy to work with and we hope to return for another vacation. This is a great place for families!

Pre-season stay

We have family on the island and we rent so that our dog can stay with us since our family has cats. This property was exactly what we needed and what it was advertised to be. The pre-season timeframe (5/7-5/17) was perfect because there was not much traffic at all on the Edgartown Vineyard Haven Road. Even when there were cars there it didn't bother us because the home has a nice privacy fence that separates the front yard from the street. The backyard is a good size and the deck is really nice and new/newer. We were the first to use the home in the season and there was a brand new grill which we didn't use but the next booking would be lucky to have it. We would definitely return to this property in the future.

Vineyard Wedding Weekend!

We stayed in this charming home in Edgartown for my daughter’s wedding in September. Communication with the Host was terrific! Ellen was available to answer questions not only about the VRBO property but about the island, ferry information and places to visit if time allowed. The house was exactly what we needed - plenty of room for our guests, so close to downtown where the wedding took place, and easy access to and from the ferry terminals. Everything we needed, and more was at the house. Dishes, glasses, pots, pans etc. The ice maker in the freezer worked perfectly which helped with our toasts for the bride and groom! The large deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening chats. Although we only had two cars, there is plenty of room for parking as needed. The home was very clean, and everything worked as expected. Some of the other wedding guests stopped by on the way to the ceremony and loved the house too! Recommended. Will stay again if the opportunity comes. Everything was perfect! Thank you Ellen!

Edgartown property

Good house for family of 6. Great location, easy access to state beach, grocery store and restaurants in Edgartown. Bike path right out your front door! Enough beach chairs, yard/board games great for the kids!!!!! Great deck area with patio furniture and grill. Couple large pots big enough to cook 4 lobsters in at same time left the other for our steamers!!! All cookware that you need for your stay House could use a good deep cleaning & organization of cleaning products/paper towels/toilet paper/ odds & ends. Lacking space to place your grocery’s/snacks. Hard to tell what you brought and what was suppose to stay. No available cabinets or pantry(cleaned off top of washer/dryer to use as a pantry. Cob webs in corners and under beds. Had to wash sheets/towels day of departure. Wasn’t bad got them done in 2 loads oversized washer & dryer in house, Worked well Overall good property & great location!!!!

Wonderful Vineyard Home!

We have regularly visited the Vineyard and wanted to stay in Edgarton this year so we chose Ellen's home. The house is perfect for a family with a dog, as it is clean and well taken care of. It is on a busy road, but is set off sufficiently from it and has a nice fence around the front of the home so my dog had lots of room to play and run around. The rooms are large and comfortable, with lots of light and air conditioning so it was great. Ellen stocks the home with lots of games and activities so you will never be bored. She was also incredible kind and made herself available throughout our stay. It was very convenient to be on the bike path, and it was a quick walk into town with some good restaurants and Stop and Shop within walking distance. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck, eating meals and enjoying the beautiful weather. Thank you for a great summer vacation and it was a pleasure to stay in your home!

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Duncan

I grew up in Braintree, MA (just south of Boston). For the first 30 years of my life I had never been to the Vineyard.

When we turned 30, my twin sister and I decided to visit this lovely island for the first time. The moment I stepped off the ferry I was in love. Every winter I booked my vacation for the next summer and would do the count down until I could return.

While I still live in Braintree, I try and spend as much time here as possible. No matter what the season, I love coming down!

Why they chose this property

In 2005 I purchased this home. For me the location was ideal, it is on the bike bath, 1.5 miles to the beach and to the edge of the water in downtown Edgartown (The Atlantic on Edgartown Harbor). It also happened to be very close to one of my FAVORITE restaurants, The Square Rigger (Lobster stuffed with Lobster...YUM!).

If I am not in the mood to bike/walk, I can always catch the bus as the house is on the bus route too.

When I purchased it was circa 1970 so I did some major renovations: new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, new mudroom, new deck.

This house also had a fireplace! Yeah, what a great way to enjoy the island in the winter.
