Stacy and Bob welcome you to your first vacation at Herring Creek Cottage! It was our dream to buy a home with a Guest House in Katama, close to our favorite beaching and fishing haunts, and in 2018 it finally happened. We are excited to make you very comfortable during your stay in our lovely new cottage!
We are Islanders: Stacy is a 4th generation Edgartownian, and Bob has been living here for 25 years. Stacy is a former teacher and a children's book author, having written two Island children's books. She is a board member and weigh station staffer for the Martha's Vineyard Blue and Bass Derby, an Island institution, held each year from mid-September until mid-October, and she can't wait for the next Derby! Bob is an award winning fisher and shore fishing guide (after many years as charter fisherman out of Edgartown Harbor), and an accomplished cook and musician. He is available for guided fishing excursions and will prepare your fishing or shell-fishing catch for you! We have lots of experience in creating memorable vacations and are happy to share our knowledge with you.

Stacy says:
Katama is, for us, the most beautiful part of Martha's Vineyard. With its flat plains leading to South Beach and its easy proximity to downtown Edgartown, it is the perfect location to live and vacation. As a child, my mother used to tell us all of the old Island stories, but her favorite was always the legend of Katama, the story of a young woman and her courageous independence. When I was 12, I decided that if I ever had a daughter, I would name her Katama, which I did. I loved this story so much that I went on to write and publish the children's book, THE LEGEND OF KATAMA which tells the Wampanoag Creation Story of Dolphins. A lifelong Edgartown girl, I have always wanted to live "down Katama," and I am excited to share our new cottage with you!

I love being able to take my truck right out to Norton Point where I fish the early mornings. Easy access from our house to fish.
