Perfect end of summer stay

The cottage was perfect for my husband, me, and our dog. It was super easy to keep our dog’s crate in the house, there was plenty of space. The loft area was super cute and cozy. The bathroom was very spacious. The kitchen had all that we needed. The location was perfect, quick bike ride to town or to the beach. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Always our favorite to stay and cannot wait to go back. Like others have said the outside shower is completely redone and a new grill this year. Peter is always great to communicate and it’s such a zen space to retreat too and close to everything as well.

This is a wonderful property. Very efficient, modern cottage perfectly situated between south beach and Edgartown. We used the beautifully renovated outdoor shower and grill everyday - grill and outdoor shower in great condition. We hope to come back next year. We didn't want to leave.

Lovely Garden Cottage

We loved staying here it was nice and quiet. Easy access to all the bike trails from the house. The beaches are beautiful 💗. We had fun exploring the island. The cottage is the perfect size. We could make dinner here or go out to eat in town. The sunset at Menemsha Beach is worth seeing. Absolutely loved staying here! Definitely will come back again. Thank you Peter & Caren

Great Location

Tucked away just off the the bike path and just outside of town, this pet friendly location was ours for 2 great weeks on the Vineyard! The kitchen is awesome for any meal u chose to make at home. Every utensil, dish and pot was available. Our dog enjoyed running in the back yard and we enjoyed sitting in the front yard after the beach, for cocktails. The owner was very quick to respond when we had a questions. We enjoyed our stay.

Super easy and close to bike path. Biked to South Beach every morning, walked to Edgartown for dinner every night, took bus from end of road for further exploring. Cottage was quiet, clean and comfortable. Neighborhood very nice. Short walk to Katama General Store. Dog friendly house and area. Well appointed. Easy communication with owners.

Great Location!

Cute cottage, excellent location! Walking distance to town and only a few minutes from South beach, bike path is nearby. Outdoor shower is fantastic! I think the pull out couch has seen better days and a new mattress for the bed in the loft is a must. Other than that, we had a great time on the island and would definitely rent here again! Thanks Peter!
