This house was perfect for our family and kids friends: 2 adults, 4 teens and our dog. Clif was always available to call or text foranything we needed.The outdoor area has lots of fun things to do, volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, bikes, ping pong, etc. On a quiet dirt road, a quick drive away from Edgartown center.

Fantastic home

Cliff’s house was perfect for our weekend wedding trip. The house was extremely clean and organized and the kitchen well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. The house came with sheets, bedspreads, and plenty of towels. This is not common for many rentals so this was a major plus. The home is close to downtown Edgartown which was very helpful. We would definitely rent here again.

Martha’s Vineyard marathon.

My friends and I stayed here for the marathon weekend and it was great! I would say if there are 10+ guests to bring some extra towels as we had to share between couples. Apart from that everything was smooth and easy and the place was great!

Clean and very comfortable beds

Clif the owner takes great pride in his homes. He stresses how he is available at all times. We did not travel with kids but I could see how it is a great place to stay with them. He has bikes and other outdoor items set up around his houses to provide a safe area for them to be out on their own. Close to Edgartown is always a bonus.

Quiet and off the beaten path

Nicely located in Egartown off a private road. Place was comfortable for our family of 6. Cliff was very hospitable and even loaned us a bike for my mom. Very relaxing and enough TVs for the kids to recluse to after very long beach days.

Perfect Get-Away

My husband and I enjoyed our stay immensely. The house was clean and comfortable. It had absolutely everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked and each bedroom is comfortable with comfortable beds, large closets, and plenty of towels. The location of this house is perfect. We could quickly access Edgartown and OB & VH were a very short drive. We used the bike path frequently. Additionally, we had an easy walk "just across the street" to Caroline Tuthill Wildlife Preserve. This was wonderful for an early morning easy nature walk to get the day going. Clif was extremely responsive to all our needs; he is a great host. We will return to this property on our next stay on MV.

Great spot to vacation with a family or friends!

My family rented this home just last week and we loved our stay. The home is comfortable, clean, has central AC and kitchen items. It also had grill an lovely outdoor area. The owner was attentive and very helpful; when we thought there may be an issue with the AC he was right on top of it( turns out there was really no issue). Each downstairs bedroom had two beds in it a queen and a full which was nice for us as we have a two year old who could sleep in our room but not with us. We like to cook on vacation and were able to do that here. I know this is small but the large trash can in the kitchen is critical when you have a house full and we loved that. Washer and dryer were present and worked great. My only feedback would be to update the lighting in the bathrooms, it's dim and a bit noisy. Also maybe updating the bathroom rugs would be a good idea to modernize. I must also say i loved the furniture; it was solid wood. I wondered at first how comfortable the futons would be but they were truly very comfy and we napped heavenly on them. I loved the outdoor shower and the fact that they had beach chairs for us to use. The house gives you a great amount of privacy outdoors which was nice for hanging out in the evenings.

About the host

Hosted by Clif Freedman and Judy Pinney

Host profile image
When visiting Martha's Vineyard don't miss the light houses! About me?! I purchased two acres of property in Edgartown, MA in 1974. At the time, I had a dream of building some homes and renting them to vacationers. That dream and 'lots of hard work' has come true. The property I purchased was 'on paper' 4 one half acre lots. In other words, the 2 acre lot had already been subdivided by the seller (Linwood Belisle). I was in my mid-twenties at the time, married, working as a teacher in NYC and very little money. But, WE had a dream! More later!!!

Why they chose this property

I have Ultra violet cleansing lights that kill all germs and virus's that are in the AC and HEATING system.

What makes this property unique

Extremely quiet area and located close to town with NO noise.
