About this property

Walk To Downtown and Beaches

Historic home in Edgartown, full of old charm. Wonderful location to walk to shops and dining, Fuller beach, the lighthouse, Church St. bus station, or just enjoy the private backyard. This location allows you to enjoy your stay without having to have a car.
The home has a full kitchen, dining room, living room, sitting room, bedroom with a double bed, and bathroom with shower stall on the first floor. Cable and internet is provided. The second floor has 3 bedrooms; one with twin beds, one with queen bed, and another with a double bed. There is a full bath on the second floor. We suggest that you arrange linen service in advance of your stay. Takemmy Linen Rental is very reliable (508-693-2788).
There is central air conditioning upstairs (installed 2019) and window A/C units on the first for the hot or humid days. Baseboard heat is available throughout the house.
Off the kitchen in the back of the house is a deck with outdoor seating and a grill. The yard is good size for Edgartown proper - big enough for a game of catch!
If you plan to bring a car in the summer months, be sure to book your reservations in advance with the MV Steamship Authority as summer auto reservations fill quickly and standby is not available on weekends during the summer..

Excellent rental, great location

This is a great, well-appointed, clean, and charming house centrally located in Edgartown. While on a quiet street, it's just a short walk (2-5 minutes) from numerous coffee houses, shops, restaurants, bars, and the bus stop. Pam is a great host, who provided us with all the info we required and was very responsive to questions.

Perfect spot for two families

We had an amazing stay – even with four (little) kids between us there was plenty of space and the yard was perfect! So lovely to walk to town easily and get food or ice cream. Would love to come back!

65th bday celebration

My wife turned 65 during our stay and just retired plus she is a huge Jaws fan. This trip was as her dream and she and family had a great time. The location of the rental house was chosen due to its location to Edgertowns main drag.

Perfect trip!

Our family chose an off season visit to Martha’s Vineyard. Communication was prompt and easy throughout. The property was perfectly located for morning walks to the light house and coffee at a little cafe nearby. Shopping of all sorts was nearby as were plenty of restaurant choices. Thé home was well appointed and had everything g we needed for a perfect week.

Great Intown stay

With ages in our group from 3 to 72 it was a perfect property. Multiple bedrooms and baths worked well for us. The house was stocked with an excellent supply of cooking to cleaning items which is not always the case. It made the house very homey. Location was perfect for either walking to a beach, or into town for ice cream or dinner. The owners have made this a great beach house.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Spear

Host profile image
We are the 3rd and 4th generation to own this home on the island. Steve & Bill (brothers) and wife Pam own the home and enjoy off seasons and weekends here.

Why they chose this property

Family grew up here or enjoyed summers visiting family here.


What makes this property unique

It's an old home. Was it really built in 1776? We have not been able to trace records that far but certainly there are homes in the area of this era. Nana always claimed that the house was 4 years older than the house across the street (1780)!
The house has much of the old charm but we are continually doing upgrades to make it more attractive.
It's location is great and it has some historic charm.
