Carolyn was a warm and helpful communicator well before our trip, answering questions about beach passes and what we should bring/what was provided. Our family has been coming to Chilmark for years (my husband and I were married there!) and Carolyn's family home gave off vibes of many years of happy memory-making. The private setting on 5 acres is a true getaway, with a large yard and wraparound deck and grill. As promised, we were able to hear the roar of the Atlantic as we stargazed on clear nights and enjoyed the fireflies and shooting stars. We even saw the International Space Station buzz by. The house was more than enough room for the four of us, with an extra bedroom. Outdoor showers surrounded by trees and bluebird skies were another treat. So many thoughtful details, from providing linens and paper goods to olive oil and herbs and spices and coffee...beach towels and all the kitchen supplies you'd need. We had a relaxing week checking out the private beach at Quansoo (the property provides a key) and several trips to Lucy Vincent. We also hiked at Menemsha Hills, did several paddle boarding trips (West Tisbury and Edgartown), and more nature walks, as well as a trip to Chappy. Family movie nights were easy with a large, modern TV we were able to hook up to our Roku/Chromecast. One highlight was a celebratory dinner at the Outermost Inn, with the most gorgeous red sunset. We also frequented Chilmark General Store for their yummy muffins, cold brew, and sandwiches/salads. From start to finish, Carolyn was responsive, helpful and gracious, making us feel right at home. We're eager to return! Thank you for having us!
