This Romantic Cottage is Simply a Cut Above -

This cottage is truly for the discriminating vacationer, very romantic and beautifully appointed. As you walk in you will notice a mosaic inlaid with flip flops... so inviting. The open floor plan feels spacious with volume ceilings throughout and is oh so comfortable. The living room has two leather couches that are right in front of the gas fireplace...bring on the ambiance! The living room also features a large flat screen TV with both HDTV and Firestick service. The kitchen is well appointed with a lot of counter space that won't disappoint anyone who loves to cook. We have both a Weber charcoal grill and a Weber gas grill for our guests to use. We have also tucked in a full size washer and dryer. The bedroom suite is very spacious with a cathedral ceiling and has a very comfortable king size bed, 2 night tables, 2 dressers, a flat screen TV, and a large walk-in closet. The full bath is to die for with a whirlpool and both indoor and outdoor showers. This home is quality built with upgraded textures including oak floors, tumble marble, & limestone accents. Unlike many Vineyard rentals, we have added central air and a garage (for those who may bring their convertible, or motorcycle). The garage also provides a great covered spot for your bicycles which we strongly encourage you to bring as we are located just off the bike path. Two people maximum, no pets, & non-smokers only, as we try to keep this property super clean and allergen free. Beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach blanket and many more conveniences are included. Perfectly located approximately 1 mile from town (Edgartown) & 1 mile to South Beach, right off the bike path. Relax on the front porch in a pair of Adirondack chairs or flex your muscles at our private basketball court which doubles as a pickleball court. Positively immaculate. We never rent our main house so my family is in tune with your enjoyment of the property. Once you rent this gem it will be hard to go anywhere else! PS: Currently all VTA (Vineyard Transit Authority) buses are free until 9/30/25. So if you don’t wish to take your car over, you can easily get around. Busses also have bike racks on the front so you can ride to another town and bike around it.

Beautiful cottage

Such a beautiful cottage for a Martha’s Vineyard stay. The home is very clean and nicely designed and furnished; kitchen is well equipped for cooking and grilling; location is great, about 2 miles from the beach and close to Edgartown. The owner kept in touch and we appreciated how responsive she was to any question we had about the island. We visited in late April, and although that is not technically “high season,” it was a lovely time to visit. We had great weather; many shops and restaurants were open; no crowds or traffic and lots of parking to be found; and the beaches were empty for those who like beach walking…I highly recommend the island and this property.

Our 1st VRBO Stay, and Def Not the Last!

This guest house is a beautiful home right off of a secluded dirt road. The property is extremely comfortable, and it felt like home away from home. Karen was a great host that was very thorough with ensuring all went well. The pickleball court and basketball goal were huge advantages! Every room is fully stocked with anything you need. Will def return in the future!!

Beautiful cottage with everything you could ask for!

Karen’s cottage was not only meticulous, but beautifully equipped with anything and everything you could possibly ask for! My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary in the Vineyard, and the cottage made it extra special! Its location was minutes away from the beach, shopping and the quaint harbor area, and getting around was a breeze. Every detail was thought out, and Karen was a pleasure to deal with! I wish we were still there! Highly recommend this beautiful cottage!

The Perfect Place!

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful cottage for a week for our honeymoon. It was absolutely beautiful and exactly as the pictures show. While it was a bit cool due to the time of year that we visited, we enjoyed exploring the island. The cottage is located within walking distance to Edgartown, a lovely little town that we thoroughly enjoyed. We rented bikes one day and spent the afternoon exploring various parts of the island. The home was beautiful and perfect to relax in. We loved everything about our stay!!

This home is beautiful!

This home is just what we hope for, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, totally every thing we needed was there! Oh, did I mention a very comfortable king size bed! We only had bikes with us, but found that everything we needed was close enough to ride to. Karen was a delight to work with! Will return!

The perfect getaway

The property is amazing and its the perfect house for a romantic couples getaway. The house is 1 mile from Edgartown and about the same distance to south beach. The house is located where at most, a 35 min drive to the other side of the island. Theres plenty to see and do on marthas vineyard. Karen the owner kept in contact with us throughout the weekend asking if we needed anything. We will definetly be back!

The perfect escape for two.

The "Cottage" is a wonderful escape for two! This is a new property that is in excellent condition and is furnished with everything that you could ever ask for. The Cottage is located on a quiet side street headed out to South Beach so the location is perfect, close to downtown Edgartown yet removed enough so you are not sitting in traffic. The owners were extremely easy to work with, we highly recommend this property and plan to return in the coming years. ~Betsy and Mike

Awesome Guest House

The Guest House in Katama is a great spot. When we arrived the home was immaculate...it lives up to all the reviews and the pictures don't do it justice. It's in a perfect location right outside of downtown Edgartown, easily within walking or biking distance. Even with the weather not cooperating one day the Guest House was a quiet retreat to relax in. It was just what we were looking for and we had a great time staying here. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this rental surely deserves it. It will not disappoint. Also, the owner (Karen) was very helpful and attentive which was just an added bonus to our trip.

A Columbus Weekend perfect Discovery

Cottage was as described on VBRO but one is still apprehensive until you turn the door handle. No negative surprises here. Spacious, clean, well appointed, super comfortable bed. Special mention for the exquisite shower-whirlpool-double sink-door to outdoor shower. Grounds were nice and location to Edgartown nice perk. Rode bikes and walked along paved trail right outside the cottage down to South Beach, Farm Institute and the Right Fork. Cottage sits a good distance from a main house on the same property but it was not occupied during our stay. Cottage also has a garage.

Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy

Not a single detail is overlooked in this sparkling, spotless, beautifully appointed home. It reminds me of a Four Seasons property: that is how high the quality of decor, furnsihings, line and towels are. The owners even have a gigantic basket of oils, soaps, shampoos, lotions and potions to choose from. Forget a toothbrush? It's there. SLIPPERS? Razors? Toothpaste? ALL THERE. It has a sumptuous feel but is not ostentatious or uncomfortable. On the contrary, the home just feels like one big dreamy spa visit! The owners take their role in your vacation very seriously: recmmending spots to try, asking for suggestions on how to improve the home. It is a very special place and I implore you to book for next year and begin dreaming today.... Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.

**GREAT** COTTAGE, OWNER AND VACATION

My partner and I had a wonderful late July vacation at the cottage and everything about our experience went smoothly, beginning with our planning communications with Karen last March. Initially we had some problems getting ferry reservations, and Karen gave us excellent, encouraging advice. As she predicted, everything worked out and we enjoyed every minute. When we arrived at the cottage, our first reaction was that it was even nicer than what we could see in the pictures. As many other guests have said, Karen really did think of everything. We particularly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, huge bathroom with a door to the outside and adjacent outdoor shower, the full-sized front loading washer and dryer, and the porch and adirondack chairs out front. The cottage was cleaner and more organized than any rental we have ever stayed in. At the end of the week, we felt very relaxed and were already talking about when we might be able to come back. Thank you, Karen, for the luxurious, memorable vacation. David & Griffin

Ambience, privacy, and convenience

This property is perfect for a couple seeking to relax in a quiet, refined property near Edgartown and South Beach. The cottage is clean, well-equipped, and carefully maintained. The kitchen/living room, bedroom, and bathroom are all quite spacious. The large bathroom featured double sinks, an indoor and outdoor shower, a jetted spa tub, and a private water closet. Plus, the owner was extremely communicative, helpful, and clearly interested in ensuring the comfort of her guests. While we did not take advantage of several amenities offered at the property, others may enjoy the pickleball court with basketball hoop, garage, outdoor grills, and outdoor table and chairs. The only aspect of the layout of the cottage that may make it less than ideal for some guests is that it is not the most convenient for entertaining: there is no indoor dining table (one must eat at a kitchen counter while sitting on a stool) and guests must go through the bedroom to use the bathroom. This was the our first visit to MV, but we'll be back. And when we return, we'll have no need to search for other accommodations as this cottage was perfect for us.

Wonderful little cottage for two

While the weather could have been better for our early October week on the island, the cottage was perfect for us as a home base to explore the island as well as settle down for the night. Gas fireplace is wonderful for a chilly evening and everything is set-up to relax and enjoy your time there. We cooked in a few nights and everything we needed we had. Cottage was in perfect working order and ultra clean and area was very quiet and conveniently located. Highly recommend!

Great Guest House in Katama area

Had a wonderful time on Martha’s Vineyard. This guest house was great, clean, well-equipped and the host, Karen, was responsive and I enjoyed my stay while on the island. It is a great rental for one or two guests maximum in the Katama area near South Beach, close to Edgartown and Morning Glory Far. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of renting this guest house. I will definitely rent it again.
