Summary: This very well-appointed 1-bedroom cottage is the perfect setting for a Martha’s Vineyard stay. The location provides easy access (with a car) to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. Edgartown is easily bikeable. The cottage is clean and super-comfortable so it’s a pleasure to stay in and enjoy the small deck, patio and lounge chairs too.

Summary: From our initial contact Barbara was an extremely responsive, warm and wonderful hostess even helping us secure ferry tickets. The light filled cottage is ideally situated an equidistant 5 minute drive between magnificent South Beach and charming Edgartown. We enjoyed exploring the island by day and returning to the serene and relaxing cottage by night.The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans etc as is the bathroom.

Summary: Our stay at the Edgartown Cottage was just perfect. Barbara was a communicative and attentive host. The cottage was beautiful decorated and had everything we needed - freshly pressed robes, soft towels and a beach picnic basket. The cottage was located within walking distance to town and the beach. We so enjoyed exploring during the day and coming back to a beautiful home at night. We cannot wait to return next season.

Summary: I only write reviews if my expectations, which are high, are exceeded. My time at the cottage was nothing short of glorious. Having rented for over 30 years, this cottage is one of the best. It has location, comfort, amenities and those little touches that make you feel as if you are home. Barbara, the host, is wonderful, generous, is there when you need her but never, ever intrusive. The entire experience was wonderful. I highly recommend.
