We spent a lovely two weeks at the cottage and plan to return. We loved the location (about equidistant from South Beach and downtown Edgartown). The cottage was clean and as described and the hosts were warm and communicative.

My husband, daughter, small dog and I enjoyed this location for 7 days! The cottage had all the conveniences of home and was clean and comfortable. The host was friendly & kind & available if needed but in no way intrusive - perfect. We’ve been visiting Martha’s Vineyard for more than 25 years and sometimes stay at a spot more than once that we’ve especially enjoyed. This will be one of those spots!

Our family had such a great stay at the Garden Cottage! Our first time in Martha’s Vineyard did not disappoint, and the location of the cottage was PERFECT to walk/bike to Edgartown, South Beach, even Oak Bluffs along the beach path. We would highly recommend!

Always our favorite to stay and cannot wait to go back. Like others have said the outside shower is completely redone and a new grill this year. Peter is always great to communicate and it’s such a zen space to retreat too and close to everything as well.

Perfect end of summer stay

The cottage was perfect for my husband, me, and our dog. It was super easy to keep our dog’s crate in the house, there was plenty of space. The loft area was super cute and cozy. The bathroom was very spacious. The kitchen had all that we needed. The location was perfect, quick bike ride to town or to the beach. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

This is a wonderful property. Very efficient, modern cottage perfectly situated between south beach and Edgartown. We used the beautifully renovated outdoor shower and grill everyday - grill and outdoor shower in great condition. We hope to come back next year. We didn't want to leave.

Lovely Garden Cottage

We loved staying here it was nice and quiet. Easy access to all the bike trails from the house. The beaches are beautiful 💗. We had fun exploring the island. The cottage is the perfect size. We could make dinner here or go out to eat in town. The sunset at Menemsha Beach is worth seeing. Absolutely loved staying here! Definitely will come back again. Thank you Peter & Caren

Great Location

Tucked away just off the the bike path and just outside of town, this pet friendly location was ours for 2 great weeks on the Vineyard! The kitchen is awesome for any meal u chose to make at home. Every utensil, dish and pot was available. Our dog enjoyed running in the back yard and we enjoyed sitting in the front yard after the beach, for cocktails. The owner was very quick to respond when we had a questions. We enjoyed our stay.
