From the moment we entered the house, I felt the stress just melt away. This home is absolutely stunning....and it is a home - it was our home for the week! The owners clearly enjoy making others feel comfortable, relaxed, and special. I traveled with my family (6 of us - Mom/Dad, 2 teen boys, and 2 preteen girls) and we all had a place to get away on our own if we needed - although we spent most time together in the beauiful kitchen hanging out, laughing, enjoying each other's company. Besides being very comfortable, I think my favorite feature is how functional the house is. It's very easy to come in off the beach and shower, do laundry right off the back. We entertained friends that came to MV for the day/night and it was so enjoyable hosting in this home. Whether it was cooking breakfast and dinner for my own family or preparing a meal for friends - the kitchen has all the amenities you will need to pull off a gourmet meal. We thought we would eat out more and were pleasantly surprised at the end of the week that we hadn't. The drive to South Beach and downtown Edgartown were beautiful, scenic rides and this home seems to be perfectly situated. Wherever we went was very accessible. We spent more time at the house than we had thought we would, but are ready to book this home for next year and hope to walk the Aquinnah cliffs at that time. Some enjoyable activities we did outside of the home included: South Beach - we caught this beach at its best with 'just the right size' waves; walking downtown Edgartown and Oaks Bluffs; standing in line at 9:30pm for a delicious donut at Back Door Donuts (sounds crazy, but they are THAT good!); and my favorite - overcoming fears and jumping Jaws bridge, (just make sure it's high tide). I highly recommend this home for you and your family if you are looking for a home away from home. I'm certain you will enjoy it! I know we did and can't wait to get back to our MV getaway!
