Wow! What a great place and twice the fun. Three families with four kids (age 7-11) have vacationed at this house for two years in a row and have had a great time. The house is very spacious and centrally located to all the dining, retail and entertainment venues in Edgartown. We never had to drive into town. Moreover, its unique location by the bike trails allowed us to cycle to Oak Bluffs and to Vineyard Haven with relative ease. The owner is very responsive and there are a lot of "extras" such as bicycles, beach boards, beach chairs, ping pong table etc. that make the trip enjoyable. It is as if the owner anticipated our needs and provided a lot of amenities. The house also has a "carriage" house that is a bonus room separate from the main house. Many of the adults found the "carriage" house to be a nice break from all the kid activity in the house and it is well appointed. The yard is spacious enough for kids and adults to enjoy separate play zones. And, we very much enjoyed sitting on the front porch.
After the first trip in 2013, we liked the property so much that the same three families rented the house again in 2014 August. While I've never wrote reviews before, I can attest that the property is exactly what you see, is very well appointed, and in a great location where you can quickly walk to Edgartown, take a short drive to South Beach, walk to the grocery store and rent bikes from across the street.
I wholeheartedly recommend this property and the next time we come back to Martha's Vineyard, we hope to rent this house a third time. I hope all the owners of properties on this site are as responsive and helpful as this owner. We had no complaints.
