We had a great time. The location was perfect and we were able to travel around the island by car as well as many places that were within walking distance. The house was clean with the option to use sheets/towels left at the house or bring our own. The best part though was that we were able to bring out 2 dogs. They loved the house and there were so many places for them to go when it was walk time. Ellen was easy to communicate with and ready to take care of any issues that might arise (although none did-our vacation was perfect in every way!).

Ellen is an excellent host!

I want to say that I have stayed at probably 20 places over the past five years and have never left a bad review. I will start by saying that Ellen the host was very friendly and called before we arrived to help us with check in. When we arrived, there was trash all over the deck, food stuck to the table, globs of conditioner in the outdoor shower and pine needles all over everything. I spent probably an hour tidying and sweeping the outdoor area because it was our family’s vacation and I was going to make the best of it. The yard was full of old brush and logs, trash barrels, and broken grills overgrown with weeds. The cushions were covered in stains and dog hair. The house is about 20 feet from the main Edgartown to Vineyard Haven road which meant cars constantly going by at about 50 mph so even tho the bike lane is there, I was nervous to send my kids out. Finally, there was so much clutter everywhere. When we walked in the door there was cleaning stuff for miles (but no usable broom), lobster pots, just so much random stuff and in a fairly small house it made the place feel very cluttered. The sofa nearly obstructs the front door. The bathrooms are old with moldy caulking and mirrors that are rusty. The toilet paper and dish holders are rusty too. This house was loved sometime in the early 2000s, but needs a strong decluttering and updating. Disappointing given the huge expense for our family and time we won’t get back.

Loved our stay in this cozy home! Really enjoyed using the bike path and exploring the woods nearby. So many amenities.. beach chairs, boogie boards, games, books.. and we used them all. Great stay in this home walking distance to restaurants, the movie theater and shops.

We spent the perfect week in Edgartown! This our second year staying at this and it was even better than last year. The location is perfect! South Beach and the Jaws Bridge in Oak Bluffs are a short drive or bike ride away. With 6 kids between the ages of 12 and 17, this was very important to us. You can walk into Edgartown center or over to Stop and Shop which is also a huge plus. Don’t feel like driving or riding? The bus stop is right down the street. The house has plenty of bedrooms and beds and is absolutely charming. It is set back from the road and a fence and large flower bushes provide plenty of privacy. There is a large front and back yard. I spent every morning on the deck enjoying my coffee and the hydrangeas. The house is stocked with everything a family could need. Tons of beach towels, beach chairs , linens, a fully stocked kitchen, and board games and puzzles. I mentioned to Ellen how much the kids enjoyed all the games last year and she sent 5 new ones! Ellen is friendly and attentive. She quickly answered any questions I had and checked in to make sure we were having a great time. We will definitely be back and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

The home was comfortable, the kitchen had all the tools we needed to prep meals for a family, and the location was ideal. The home owner was also in touch to ensure any questions that we had were answered. We loved our time there.

This is a great location. You can easily walk to Edgartown town center and it has easy access to some beautiful trails through the island preserve. Plenty of room for everyone in this house. Though we didn't use the outside space much (with the exception of coffee on the deck in the morning), it is perfect for hanging and grilling out. The house can hold a lot of guests with the way the bed are arranged. The master has it's own bathroom which was a big bonus. The rest of the rooms share it's own bath. Because we came before the high season, we were allotted some flexibility regarding check out. This was really nice b/c getting the bedding/towels washed before 10:00 would be a challenge (lots of beds!). We brought our dog and were pleasantly surprised that there was a long dog line already attached to the deck outside. The house is on a busy island road with fast moving traffic but there is some privacy due to a fence and the fact that the house is set back a bit. Make sure your littles and your dogs don't wander too far! There were a couple of small items I needed to discuss with the owner and she could not have been more accessible. We plan to stay here again at the same time next year (HS graduation) and would recommend this home to anyone coming to the island.

The home had all the amenities you could ever ask for. The rooms were spacious and had more than enough beds for everyone. The location was perfect. We could bike to downtown Edgartown and walk to nearby restaurants. It was a short drive to Oak Bluffs. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm everyday, so we ate most of our meals out on the large deck. It was cool enough at nights to have a nice fire in the fire pit and make smores. Highly recommend renting from this host.
