About this property

Fabulous house in a fantastic location (Ferry Tickets available)

Sunny, contemporary Katama salt box in fabulous location between Edgartown and South Beach! Fabulously bright, reverse style home with living accommodation upstairs and 3 bedrooms with master bath and second full bath downstairs.
Open and airy with cathedral ceilings and lots of windows. 3 large sliders open onto a huge sunny deck that runs the length of the house. 2 of the bedrooms have Queen beds and sliders out to the surrounding yard, most of it in grass. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds. Enjoy the heated outdoor shower after a great day at the beach!
Fantastic location midway between town and beach, it is a stroll into Edgartown (0.9 miles) or a cycle to South Beach (1.5 miles) on the bike path.
The house is a short distance from the Katama airfield (0.4 miles) where you can go for a fantastic bi-plane ride over the island. Also, enjoy the lovely breakfast or lunch at the diner at the airstrip and watch the planes from the outdoor deck.

Great location, easy check-in/out. Beach chairs were a plus. House is very nice, spacious, and comfortable. Bedrooms had good closet space. Beds could have been a little more comfortable but not all that bad. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Martha.

Wonderful place to stay

Loved everything about staying here. The bedrooms are located on the 1st floor and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with anything we needed. The living room area was actually bigger than I expected based on the pictures. Very comfortable, would highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic location and house!

Had an amazing time on the island and this house is in a perfect location. A short walk into town, run to South beach, near the Katama market for great breakfast sandwiches:) Terrific house and Mike is a very responsive and great host.

Katama is our Happy Place!

We have been coming to MV for 30 years and it never disappoints. This rental is clean with plenty of space and amenities. Centrally located for great walks around Katama.Coffee at the airport and continue through the farm to south beach. Perfect way to start the day. Fairly quick walk to Edgartown center and a visit to the llamas. Perfection!

Nice location

Great location within bike or foot walk to South Beach and Katama airfield. If you do stay there plan on at least 1 breakfast at the Right Fork Diner at the airfield. We did twice. Had a couple minor issues, but they were addressed in a timely manner. Would consider this property again...

Katama House

The house is in a fantastic location in Katama, centrally between downtown Edgartown and South Beach. Very easy to get anywhere and great for running and biking with trails right there. The house is as advertised in the pictures. The AC was a little finicky at times, but it never got too hot. Thanks!

Wonderful Stay on the Vineyard!

It was perfect. Comfortable, clean home. Everything was just as stated on line. Minor issue that owner took care of immediately. Information and instructions left for us were very easy to follow. Hope to stay at this home again during our annual visit to the Vineyard. Thank you!

Recent stay

The owner was responsive to several items we flagged like broken sliding screen door, clogged sinks, etc. With some TLC I’d rate it better. It’s a good location between Edgartown and South Beach. We enjoyed having the bike trail across the street. The house is landscaped so there is privacy from the street. We were there after Labor Day so road traffic and noise was manageable. .

Thanks for the feedback Pam. Sometimes at the end of the season in September we can have a few issues like the screen door you mentioned. I'm happy to say all those small issues have been resolved for the 2025 season.

met our needs

House had all we needed for a brief stay on the vineyard. Was a little hard to find due to overgrowth in front of house, but was located in a perfect spot for our needs- close to beach and town- house was clean and roomy enough for the 4 of us, Kitchen had all we needed for breakfast, price was right. A little run down on the outside- deck could use a little TLC-wifi didn't work for us after day 1, other than that all was great!

Nice Beach House

We had a good time in the house, which was very close to the beach and to the town. The bike path is directly in front of the house and just a 10 minute ride to the beach in a straight shot passed the airfield and Right Fork Diner. The upstairs is a great room with plenty of sun, and a big deck right through the upstairs screen door with a full grill and table to accommodate a family dinner. Internet for WiFi and TV are available and no fuss, but the house is a bit sparse on accessories (no towels or sheets). All around a very nice beach house in a great location.

Miss the Saltbox already!

Great first time visit to MV! The house had everything we needed & a great location especially if you have a car or bike. Just my friend & me & both Queen beds were very comfortable. We couldn't figure out how to get any channels on the TV except the basic ones but that is on us-we are not tech savvy. Zero complaints-I will say at 6' 0" I found the toilets to be very low to the ground but certainly not a deal breaker. Lovely new deck too!

Location is everything!

We went with this listing primarily for the affordability for its location. A bike ride or walk to South Beach one way and to Edgartown Center the other way. Was very convenient for my young adult children to do their own thing when they chose to. Now, there are FAR more pricier properties in this area, but if you don't need all the bells and whistles of a pristine multi-million $ property, then this is your house! We needed a place to sleep and shower to hit the beach by day and the center by night. Worked out great for us for the cost. The owner is very responsive and super easy to work with!

Best location on MV!

We had a wonderful stay at Michael’s house! We have stayed in a few different rentals on MV, but hands down loved this Katama location best! We ran/walked/biked into Edgartown every single morning, which was a little over a mile. The house was also a short bike ride to South Beach, and a slightly longer bike ride to State beach. We even rode our bikes to Noman’s a couple of times! Having the Katama General Store so close was an added bonus! The top floor of this upside down house was light, bright, and airy. A nice big great room with Kitchen/dining/living room. A/C worked great!! Lots of bathrooms (3 plus outside shower) were also a nice plus. Water pressure and temp were great. We never ran out of hot water. And Michael was a great host who even checked in with us after we arrived! I would stay at this home anytime! Cheers! KJ
