We spent a week. Our first trip to the vineyard. Owner was beyond helpful, from tips re restaurants to things to do and see, where to rent bikes and chairs, and also helping us with the car ferry. Home was lovely for our family, clean and spacious. We can't wait to rent again.
We had an excellent stay at this lovely home! Barb is a terrific communicator and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this location.
The house lived up to its description and we were not disappointed. It had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and not be in each other's way. The view from the top deck was amazing and we enjoyed our cocktails up there in the evening. I have traveled to the Vineyard every summer for several years now and have always enjoyed running or riding my bike through the Katama bay area and staying there was such a treat.
This is a very comfortable house in an excellent location... walking distance to south beach. Air conditioners worked well, and the decks were lovely to use. We had a couple of meals outside and enjoyed them very much. We set up a volleyball net in the backyard... plenty of room. Gas grill made cookouts easy. Plenty of trash barrels and recycling barrels as well. We had one nice evening dinner with 25+ people, and the house handled it all very well. Excellent internet speeds, and TV was internet connected so there was plenty of choice. Washer/dryer worked fine. Pictures in the listing were accurate. Linens were comfortable, and not having to bring bath towels (supplied) or beach towels (10 were supplied) was great. Location is also just a half block from the bike path (along a dirt road), so perfect for those that like biking/jogging/rollerblading. There is also a kayak/canoe/etc entry point to Katama bay just around the corner, with parking. Barb is an excellent owner, helping with our every request, and alerting us when we had left a bathing suit behind (even offering to mail it to us).
This property was amazing. Lots of space inside with a beautiful dining area. Spacious back yard for kids to run around and just minutes from the beach. Very private as well. Would definitely come back in the future.
We stayed at this home with my family of six and my sister's family with kids ages 11-26! There were tons of bedrooms and great spaces to hang out. The location was fabulous - a ten minute walk to the beach or a 15 minute bike ride to town. We cooked great family dinners and played lots of games at night. Barb was a fabulous host who got back to me quickly with any questions or needs that I had. Would definitely recommend!
This property has the perfect location, it is within a short walk to the South Beach, and a 15-minute bike ride to Edgartown, we also really enjoy the amazing sunset view at the nearby Katama Farm. The host (Barbara) is very helpful in providing information about the house, the town, and really makes the trip totally worry-free. I will strongly recommend this property.
We loved our stay at this beautiful home! Location is great, house is perfect for families and guest house with separate WiFi ideal for those needing to do work from home. Barb was incredibly responsive and her attention to detail, such as the “kitchen map” was much appreciated! Thank you! We will be back!
great house and a great stay
