Great Martha's Vineyard House: Everything You Need - Nothing You Don't!

Initial booking canceled telling me it wasn’t available as advertised. Re-booked same dates after sorted out. Paid second half and then Evan messaged a week later saying payment now due. Informed him already paid and requested confirmation which he finally did. Day prior to travel asked for check-in instructions as I had heard nothing to this point. Received response with door code only. Upon check-in no fans or AC going in house when it was 97 degrees. House smells overwhelmingly of mold and mildew. Pics documenting mold in washing machine and refrigerator water dispenser. Laminate floor lifting in kitchen. Living room stucco lifting under window due to moisture. Two coffee pots but no coffee in house which was very disappointing as we arrived on island after grocery store closed for the day. I threw away a trash can full of expired food from 2021-2022 in pantry. Dishwasher full of dishes from previous guests. Outdoor grill igniter doesn’t work. Advertised 7 bikes but every single tire was flat and old pump was not correct valve stem size. One bike even had chain off. Don’t advertise amenities if they aren’t functional! Next day Evan had neighbor drop off another pump. First night, smoke detector at front door went off 3 times starting at 3 AM. Unable to lock front door with code (flashing battery needs replaced). Caretaker replaced batteries but door didn’t get fixed and was locked entire stay. We were instructed to leave back door unlocked to be able to get in.

Great location on Martha’s Vineyard. Fully operational kitchen with everything you can think of..lots of extras in shed for great fun on beach and biking. Terry was very responsive to any questions we had while in the house.

Excellent place to stay. The location is perfect for Edgartown, Vineyard Heaven, and Oak Bluff.

We loved our stay at Terry's warm, well-appointed name in a pretty location within 15 minutes of downtown OB, Edgartown, Vineyard Haven and MVY Airport. Evan was both welcoming and very responsive to our questions. I asked what we should bring and made suggestions -- he was correct when he basically said just yourselves. Great vacation house for family or friends!

Our family stayed at this home for the 3rd straight year and enjoyed every day. This home is centrally located in the island and in a quiet hidden community where the kids can play! Its 5 minutes from tennis camp and 5 minutes from Farm Neck golf and cafe. The home is modern and convenient with all the beach gear and bikes you could want. This place is awesome!

I’m pretty inexperienced with VRBO rentals and our host made the process so easy and hassle-free. Everything from questions before we rented to questions before we checked in to - yup - more questions on arrival were answered promptly and graciously. The house was perfectly set up for our group of 5. Everything was spotless. The kitchen was extremely well appointed and an especially nice touch was the 2 coffee pots, one tp brew and one for pods. We were sadly unable to take advantage of some of the house amenities because of all the wedding activities)like the bikes and kayaks) but we did follow the directions to the lovely walking path around the cove and neighborhood. The house is also perfectly positioned yo explore the island. We were only 10 minutes from the wedding venue in Edgartown and barely more than that to Oak Bluffs. We would definitely stay here again when we have more time to explore the rest of the island. All in all it was a wonderful stay!!

This house is located in a quiet, green neighborhood that is the definition of peaceful. We loved having our morning coffee out on the beautiful porch, listening to the birds, and I enjoyed a delightful nap in the hammock. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only advice to future travelers is to limit adults sleeping in the house to 7. We had 9, which the house technically sleeps, but the two adults without beds (couch/futon/mattress options) were not comfortable.

Wonderful stay. Property looked just as pictured. Terry was a wonderful host!

This house was big, bright, and full of awesome artwork. Better than expected!

The property was impressively beautiful and very relaxing. Plenty of bedrooms to hold our house guests of 6.
