About Kati Johnsen
Thank you for visiting my site and looking into my home. I know how important it is to choose the right property and have it accommodate each and everyone's needs. During the winter I live here on the island and in the summer I am off working in Peru where I am involved in Community Development. I hope all of you that stay here enjoy my home the way I do. It is a very special place for me and I know it will become one for you too. All the best for a wonderful summer~ Kati
Why Kati Johnsen chose Martha's Vineyard
Very quiet private setting on 1.3 acres. Private dead end road with very little traffic.
What makes this house unique
There are so many beautiful surroundings to the property. Behind the house, there are acres of conservation land so it is a perfect place to take a walk. In the morning you can walk to Morning Glory Farm where you can purchase great coffee and a muffin. On the way back from South Beach you can stop in and get some local produce. The fish market is 1 mile away and the village of Edgartown is 1.2 miles away. Often in the morning you may see deer grazing close to the house or some wild turkeys. The small private road where Sandy Feet is located has very little traffic and there is quiet in the surroundings. Because I am an artist, I like to have interesting things in my house, all the while keeping a very fresh clean and beachy feel to the house.
Map
My Property is 1.2 miles from the center of Edgartown. There is a wonderful farm within walking distance from my home. There you can purchase fresh baked goods from the farm and local veggies along with assorted gourmet items. We are located down a small private road bordering on 80 plus acres. The bike path can bring you right into town.

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(11 traveler reviews)
The property was very appropriate for our 14 persons family.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The housing was very nice. The owner and maintenance man were gracious and very helpful.
Beautiful home!
We visited Martha's Vineyard for a friend's wedding and had an amazing stay at Sandy Feet! The hosts were very attentive to our needs and the home was immaculate. We would definitely stay there again in the future! Thank you!
Beautiful house, we loved it!
This property is absolutely gorgeous, clean, well appointed, spacious. The owner, Kati, is so helpful and nice. She gave us all sorts of help with restaurants, things to do and she welcomed us with a gorgeous apple pie at the house. We will be back!
Perfect in every way!
I stayed at Sandy Feet Retreat with a group of friends who go on a girls getaway weekend every year. None of us had been to Martha's Vineyard before, and I was put in charge of our time while there. Finding lodging for our group was my first task. When I found Sandy Feet - and Kati's warm, helpful and very responsive spirit - I knew I had the perfect place for us. Sandy Feet was even better in person that it looks online! Kati's personal touches throughout the home, the comfortable rooms, spacious common areas, and well-equipped kitchen all helped to make it an inviting home to relax in after a day of sight-seeing. And Kati's helpful tips about sights to see and places to dine were spot-on. Each time I consulted her while planning our trip, she was quick to respond and offer great suggestions. Her love of the area is obvious and shines forth in this lovely home. From Sandy Feet, we walked to Morning Glory Farms to explore their fresh baked goods and produce. We had rented cars, so were able to drive to Aquinnah Beach- making stops along the way. On the way back, we enjoyed a seafood picnic while watching the sunset at Menemsha Beach. We also rode bikes to Oak Bluffs, did a sailing tour with Mad Max Sailing, had spa treatments, shopped and explored Edgartown. Before and after each outing we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent in the comfort of Sandy Feet Retreat. After our visit to Sandy Feet I think Martha's Vineyard has a whole group of new admirers who hope to return some time in the future!
Gem On The Vineyard!
Our family vacation at Sandy Feet Retreat on Martha's Vineyard is the highlight of our year! We have spent three vacations at this beautiful property and we can't wait to return next summer. When we found Kati and her beautiful home, my husband and I were already big fans of Martha's Vineyard, having visited each summer for the previous twenty nine years. We started our love affair with the island at the Charlotte Inn just the two of us, but as our lives changed and our children grew, married, and had children of their own, we began renting a house to accomodate our growing family. We have spent time in other lovely rental properties, but none can compare to this gem on The Vineyard!
The property and house have been lovingly designed, decorated, planted, and equipped to be both a feast for one's eyes and soul and an answer to all one's practical needs. From the well tended plantings and property, to the gorgeous wood floors throughout the house, to the abundance of quality linens provided, to the magnificent master bedroom suite and bath, to the enormous amount of storage space for guests, to the well equipped (nothing missing) kitchen to the outdoor porches and the wonderful porch swing and backyard hammock, every detail is perfect! The photos posted on the website are lovely, but the actual home, guesthouse and grounds are better when seen in person.
There are three other reasons that make Sandy Feet so special. The first is its location. It sits on a beautiful private piece of property with lots of space for outdoor family time or a quiet nap in the hammock. Its within walking distance of Morning Glory Farm where you can get fresh produce, wonderful baked goods or a bouquet of fresh flowers. The house is minutes away from a wonderful walking/ bicycle path. Several members of our family begin each day on that path! Its a quick drive to both South Beach and Town. The other two reasons are Kati, this property's owner, and Mark who is always available to answer any need or problem you might encounter about the property. We have had the good luck of spending a little time with Kati and Mark. They are the type of people anyone would be happy to call friends. Their love and respect for this beautiful home is the reason that
from the minute our family pulls away the last day of vacation our conversation turns to plans for next year's return.
A Relaxing Oasis
I stayed at Sandy Feet Retreat with family and friends and there was plenty of room for us all to relax and have fun together, or find quiet time alone. The main house has a very large living room, a dining area with a beautiful, large table, and a very functional kitchen with everything you could need to cook meals together as well as a gas grill outside. There is a screened in porch with couches and chairs as well as an open porch with a double swing overlooking the back yard. There is also a wonderful, large hammock which turned out to be a great spot for an afternoon nap. Back inside the house, there are two bedrooms on the first floor: one with a queen bed and one with 2 single beds and a bunk bed. There is also a full bathroom on the first floor with a fantastic walk in shower. The upstairs has a laundry room, a master bedroom/bathroom that is quite large and wonderfully designed. There is also a queen bedroom also with its own bathroom upstairs. The guest house is very close to the main house so you have privacy, but yet do not feel removed from the the main house. It has an outdoor shower which I used every day, a living room and eat in kitchen on the first floor along with a half bath, and the entire second floor is the bedroom! Both houses are very well appointed, decorated with interesting artwork and items the owner has brought back from her travels, and very clean. I looked at the photos on this site many times in anticipation of my stay, and the houses and yard are even more beautiful in person!! It was wonderful to meet the owner and care taker in person as they are wonderful, friendly people. I can't say enough about how happy we were to stay here, and it is clear that Kati put a lot of thought into the design and decoration of the homes. The location is removed from the main road, but still close enough to walk to Morning Glory Farm or to hop the bus, ride your bike, or even walk to downtown Edgartown. Thank you for a wonderful stay and I will definitely be back!!!
