Lovely Katatma home halfway between beautiful downtown Edgartown and South Beach. The house is on a small road on the bike path side of Katama Rd, so it is an easy 1.5 mile flat ride to either beach or town. The first floor has a large open dining/ living area, an updated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances. There is a full bathroom and two small (one queen, one trundle) bedrooms. A large deck runs the length of the house and is perfect for cooking out or enjoying the breeze. The second floor is accessed by one of two spiral staircases. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (one with its own deck) with queen beds and en suite powder rooms. There is also a large master bedroom (king bed) with a full bathroom and a deck overlooking conservation land. Finally, there is an outside shower, as no beach house would be complete without one.
The three generations of my family very much enjoyed our stay. The house was as advertised. It is very private, in a quiet area, with ample room for a large family. The multiple large decks and outdoor shower were awesome!
We had a truly wonderful time staying at this home. It was comfortable and very well appointed. We love to cook and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds and pillows were comfortable and we ate under the stars every night at the big table outside. It is located just down the street from the bike path to Norton Point/South Beach and is within walking/biking distance of the Katama restaurants and Edgartown if you are a bit more ambitious. The outdoor shower was hot and high pressure. The hosts were extremely responsive and very helpful. It was quiet and very dark at night. We had stayed here before a few years ago and loved it. We will come again.
This was an incredible stay. We loved the incredible master bedroom, all the rooms to accommodate family and friends. The two best features were a) the massive porch - we basically hung out there the whole time - and b) the outdoor shower, felt like going to a spa. The property manager is very responsive - came very quickly to resolve a couple things we needed help with! Definitely book a stay here.
Great stay for our family at this Katama house. Wonderful location, well appointed and clean home with tons of space. Thereâs even four bicycles you can use which fit our family perfectly. Four beach chairs were also in the shed. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Thanks!
Enjoyed are stay immensely. Everything was easily accessible from our location. The house was well stocked with everything needed. My only complaint (not really a complaint but a mention) The two circular stair cases on each side of the living room was challenging with young children. Would stay here again and recommend this house
Cleanliness did not seem a priority - mainly used the outdoor shower. Happy to bring own linens & towels! Had a few rainy days & living space definitely not made for large groups to hangout. Bed rooms pretty small except master. Minimal storage space for long term stay. Location amazing ! Very convienent and walkable ! Extra beach chairs and bikes as house very nice plus!
We've been going up to the Vineyard every year now since COVID, and this was the best-located base of operations we've had. This house was a perfect size for our group. An older home, but the house was pretty clean. The outdoor shower had the best temperature and water pressure of all the showers, definitely recommend using while the weather is warm. The interior is cozier than you might think from the photos, but it was able to fit 6 without anybody sleeping on a couch or anything. The bikes were in a pretty rough shape, you're probably better off renting your own, but the beach chairs were sturdy and well-maintained. The outdoor deck area was lovely, and at nighttime really gave you a good look at the night sky. Location is the key to this house, as it was only a 6 minute drive to downtown Edgartown and South Beach in Katama.
Overall, loved the house, loved the location. However it was a major inconvenience that we were told just days before that no linens would be provided (that was not noted in the listing and it should be). We had to rent linens (sheet sets for all beds, face / hand / shower towels, kitchen towels etc etc) which ran about $300. Just would have preferred to know up front. Would have felt better about this if it were disclosed at the time of booking. Then additionally, it was listed as having air conditioning but at least two of the rooms the AC did not work (multiple people tried with no success to get them working).
The owner was very accommodating and helpful. The house is positioned half way between downtown Edgartown and Katama South Beach. The house is on a quiet cul de sac with ample yards. We enjoyed the airy openness of the house and it's many bedrooms.
