Lovely cottage in perfect location

We loved our stay at the cottage. The location is perfect being a 10 minute walk into downtown Edgartown. The deck and large yard make the house feel very private and quiet when you want to relax. The cottage was perfect for our family of three. It was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We can’t wait to return next year!

Cute house, great location

We loved the house, nice and clean, great porch to enjoy the outside with beautiful hydrangeas - typical MV! Loved the extra little house for my in laws. The location was great we walked into town, it was right on bike path, there was a playground at the school across the street, and our kids biked in the hardware store parking lot while we got dinner ready! Also near Stop & Shop. Definitely would stay again!

Everything we had hoped for.....

We returned to MV from the UK 15 years after our honeymoon. The cottage was beautiful & had everything we needed. It was perfectly situated - 5 minutes stroll into Edgar town & the same distance from the local supermarket. You can hire bikes from Edgar town bikes, again 5 mins walk away, & get to the beaches easily with no parking problems. We would recommend highly.

Classy Cottage

Wonderful location near bike paths and an easy stroll into town. Short car ride to beaches. Quaint cottage is perfectly comfortable, great outdoor shower and wonderful backyard. We grilled often. Special touches include well stocked pantry which was very much appreciated. The bungalow is very zen. My husband called it the 'wellness studio.' We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay.
