Perfection in Martha’s Vineyard

This property is gorgeous! It is exactly as described, close to the ferry and near restaurants. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The yard is an added benefit- meticulously kept with green grass, trees and hydrangeas - it’s lovely to eat outside or in. Very quiet neighborhood on a beautiful street. A wonderful place to stay!

The house had lots of space to do whatever you wanted, from sitting outside to playing ping pong in the finished basement. It’s very close to the ferry and Vineyard Haven shops, which was easy and convenient. We’ll definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks so much!

MV Vacation

Here for a family celebration, the location was very convenient to the rest of the family and was one of the best VRBOs I have seen, well appointed and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the living areas were well appointed and comfortable. We had an evening get together with 15 people and it accommodated that group easily. The outdoor area is also well appointed and is spacious. I would definitely come back again, they offer a 10% discount for return visits. The Vineyard is a special place for me and this property made it all that more special

The property is so close to all the good things… shops, ferry, restaurants, bars, etc! The home is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood chocked full of beautiful landscaping and flowers! We found the property to be very clean, and comfortable! I will totally stay again when that time comes! It truly made our annual girlfriend adventure so relaxing to come in and night and chill!
