Cozy cottage

The perfect place to stay for a quiet getaway. The location was a quick walk to town and a short drive to the best spots on MV. Settling inside for a quiet rainy day was relaxing and cozy. Great communication with the owner and a pristine property definately want to come back!

Great cottage for for 2!

Great cottage for 2 guests close to town. Very well stocked with everything you would need. Mary Jane was great to work with. House was clean and they also had beach chair and umbrellas which was great. Only suggestion would be new pillows. Would stay again or recommend.

Best place for a week away

We had the best week and could not have been more comfortable staying in this home. It had everything we expected or needed and so much more. The location is right by a bike path and some awesome beaches and restaurants. Mary Jane was fast to respond if we ever needed anything. We will be staying here again!

Wonderful, relaxing getaway

This was our first visit to Martha's Vineyard and it won't be our last! The well-appointed guest house is bright and cozy and although you can't beat the restaurants on the island, we found we enjoyed many of our evenings "cooking in" and relaxing in this wonderful space. Loved the location, especially the proximity to beautiful Edgartown. Mary Jane, thank you so much for your hospitality!

Perfect Getaway Home for Two

It's a beautiful home for two (or a solo traveler) to get away for a week. Everything was immaculately clean and modern, and the privacy barrier is really well thought out. The home is a nice walk from town that is very do-able. Mary Jane was very quick to respond to any question that we asked before the trip.

Lovely cottage

We were very pleased with this rental which we found after having to change our vacation dates and find a different rental. It’s new, bright, with tasteful decor and furnishings. We love the Katama Location as it’s close to Edgartown but not far from the beach. It was very quiet and relaxing and I highly recommend this rental. The owner was very nice through the process of renting.

A little gem

Lovely little 1 BR, 1 bath in Katama, MA My only concern is that some of the amenities are a little tired. The bath towels and dish towels are "well used" and really need to be replaced, and I understand that this is a cabin for 2 but it would be nice to have more than 2 wineglasses, coffee mugs, etc.

Wonderful Cottage For Two

We have stayed on the Vineyard for many years. This was among the best-of-the best rentals we have occupied. Cottage was exactly as pictured. Indoors was immaculate. Privacy fence is complete. Small table and two chairs have been added on deck for dining of which we took full advantage. Kitchen is well equipped. There is a gas stove--unusual for rentals and very welcome for serious cooks. (Just one thought--a couple of additional bowls would be helpful.) Location is closer to both bike paths than described. Proximity to Edgartown is great--just a few minutes drive. Easy walk to the Katama General Store for breakfast, lunch or to pick up a few goodies. Would definitely return. Thanks Mary Jane.
