Architect-Renovated Edgartown Cape With Pool

Avoid doing business w/ Wendy Harman or Point B on this island. Avoid this owner. First, understand this is NOT a rental by the owner. You deal exclusively with a leasing company that does not have control over the house like a manager. This is a B- house in a good location. Very convenient to the town but on a long dirt road that is in terrible condition. I would be very wary of trying to drive a normal rental car down the road. This real estate agency will try and take your security deposit on any property they rent to you, its extra money to them. They pointed to slight dirt on a rug, not a stain from a spill of any sort, just some dirt. They then deducted $500 to clean a rug. The deducted for the oven being dirty, and sent a picture with literally 3 clothing tags on the floor and claimed its unacceptable mess. All this is after they charged a $450 cleaning charge up front. House not well maintained. Grill leaking gas when we arrived, lots of gas, and took them 3 days to get another grill, which was tiny and junky. Door alarms on every door started beeping randomly during the week, apparently for low batteries. Instead of replacing each battery, agent directed us to remove the batteries. One of the back doors to the patio would not lock making the house not secure. They refused access to owner at all times.

My wife and I hosted friends for a week in the Norton Orchard Rd house last week. The house is nestled down an unpaved country lane among similarly modest homes. Quaint and quiet and lovely. The house is full of light and features views of the expansive deck and pool through the many French doors and windows in the back. The kitchen was tight, but had everything we needed to cook and prepare meals and the dining table and family room area served as host to gatherings, games, and naps. And, the location! Our friends came in and left on different days, so we made several trips to and from the airport — easy peasy because it’s less than ten minutes away. We regularly walked into town to get coffee or meals, a therapeutic massage, or meet other friends also on holiday. The Sherriff Sanctuary is close, as well and proved a relaxing respite we could easily walk to. We brought kayaks from home and accessed ponds and beaches which while idyllic and romantic, leaves peeps in the house with no transportation. This was a burden to some last year in Katama, but in this in-town ish location was not limiting to anyone’s good time. The house is appointed well with an outdoor grill, towels aplenty, comfy beds and sheets, two sets of washer dryers, and so many bathrooms that no one had to share. Everyone wants us to get this house next year instead of a fancier house on the water. We’re inclined that way, as well.

Loved everything about the property, would recommend without hesitation

We stayed in this beatutful newly renovated home for a week with our 4 adult boys and enjoyed every aspect. The home is lovely and clean, the kitchen met all our needs, the common areas are comfortable with ample seating and nice decor, and the pool and backyard are lovely. We did heat the pool so we used the backyard nearly every day. The outdoor area is equipped with an extra large grill that came in handy. For us, the only down side was the smaller size bunk and twin beds as all our boys are 6 ft plus and the two car driveway with no street parking. Overall, I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time at this beautifully renovated home. While it is in walking distance from Edgartown and a short 10-minute bike ride from the lovely State Beach, we found it hard to leave the serene pool, the amazing deck and the quietude of the neighborhood.
