After visiting the island for the first time, we are so glad to have chosen Vineyard Haven for our stay. It is quieter than the other towns and had everything we needed. The house is conveniently located near food, bike rentals, and shopping so easy to walk. The Dexter is beautiful - charming, comfortable, well-maintained, and so well appointed with many thoughtful amenities! I rated the online listing a 4, but it's really a 4.5, because i couldn't read some of the room descriptors on the layout. Our family of 14 loved it! The best part was that each of the 5 family groups had their own space to relax.
