Relaxing stay at on a clean, well kept property

We had a great stay here! The house has lots of space and is well equipped with everything you need for a fun weekend. Tucked away in a beautiful part of the Vineyard. The check-in and out process was a breeze and the house is kept extremely clean. Highly recommend!

Comfortable cottage

This property worked well for our family. The owners have put some thought into the renovation and make excellent use of space. We enjoyed the living room and both decks. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. They have a generous supply of towels, plenty of hot water, and mini split air conditioners, which we only needed one day as it was not too hot. We made good use of the nearby walking paths. Very comfortable and convenient yet secluded feeling location.

Perfect Getaway to Celebrate our Anniversary

The Vineyard Cottage location was perfect for our needs. We had 2 small dogs who liked to walk the many trails in the nearby conservation areas surrounding the pond. The cottage had all the supplies we needed including a dog bed! It was a 5 minute drive to Edgartown and about a 10 minute drive to Oak Bluffs. Also very close to State Beach. Steve was very responsive to any question we had. I would highly recommend the Cottage for anyone looking to enjoy MV in a serene setting.

Gem in the woods

This cabin is recently renovated and well laid out. When we arrived it was clean and the owner left a nice welcome gift. There is a little beach in walking distance and walking/hiking/biking trails at each end of the road. It very convenient to Edgartown by bike or car and easy to get up island by car or bus. For us, the best feature is that they allow dogs. Ours loved their vacation with walks and swimming every day. They have asked to go back. All paws up from the pups!

Good spot

The house worked for our one week visit. The condition of the property is not accurately reflected in the listing. The bedroom was damp. We had a hard time finding the place and couldn't reach the manager. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but will look elsewhere next time.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar, 2020
Google maps often sends people the wrong direction - I will make sure that accurate directions are sent. I asked Bradley about his comment about the "condition of the property," but received no response, so I can't comment on that other than to say that no other renters have commented on the condition of the cottage and we have plenty of return guests every year.

Cute house - perfect for our family with young kids!

This house was perfect for our short getaway to the Vineyard with our two preschool age children. The house had the perfect amount of space for us, a nice family room with a wifi TV, comfy couches, a well appointed kitchen (note to anyone staying there, don't buy coffee filters, there are about 300 in the drawer next to the stove!), comfortable beds, and two big bathrooms. All the space we needed. It was in a great location close to Edgartown (our favorite town). And was a nice easy walk to a little beach on the pond. My only feedback would be the towels could use a little re-fresh. Everything was very clean, just many of the towels were frayed or had bleach stains. But really we had a great time and hope we are able to come back in the future!

THE PERFECT GETAWAY

In addition to being set up perfectly for either friends or family, the house is tucked away in a private area of Edgartown. We arrived and found a welcome note and a bottle of wine (great touch!), endless towels, board games, and a dog bed for our furry little friend! The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable (they supply a lot of pillows!), and if we needed anything at all, Pete (Property Manager) was always on hand! We will be renting again next year!!

I'm sorry for your bad experience. As we discussed, there was a miscommunication about the cottage being ready from off-season construction. We did promptly refund and compensate the renter.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Schulman

Host profile image
We live in Texas but wish we could be on the Vineyard all year. This cottage is our dream vacation every summer, and we love sharing it with others. My two boys have grown up in the cottage and both learned to ride bikes on the Boulevard, a quiet street that is nothing like a boulevard!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this cottage when we saw it in 2003, after I had been coming to the Vineyard since the mid-1990s. It is secluded and quiet, yet an easy bike ride into Edgartown. I have maintained it lovingly, keeping it simple and uncluttered, and recently renovated it with new windows, kitchen cabinets, bamboo floors and A/C. In 2014, I enclosed the back deck to create a breezy and open three-season room.

What makes this property unique

This cottage was originally a fisherman's cottage in central Edgartown, but many years ago was loaded on a truck and brought out to this wooded lot just off Sengekontacket Pond. It is a nice quiet area, perfect for a relaxing vacation.
