Gem in the woods
This cabin is recently renovated and well laid out. When we arrived it was clean and the owner left a nice welcome gift. There is a little beach in walking distance and walking/hiking/biking trails at each end of the road. It very convenient to Edgartown by bike or car and easy to get up island by car or bus. For us, the best feature is that they allow dogs. Ours loved their vacation with walks and swimming every day. They have asked to go back. All paws up from the pups!

Perfect Getaway to Celebrate our Anniversary
The Vineyard Cottage location was perfect for our needs. We had 2 small dogs who liked to walk the many trails in the nearby conservation areas surrounding the pond. The cottage had all the supplies we needed including a dog bed! It was a 5 minute drive to Edgartown and about a 10 minute drive to Oak Bluffs. Also very close to State Beach. Steve was very responsive to any question we had. I would highly recommend the Cottage for anyone looking to enjoy MV in a serene setting.

Comfortable cottage
This property worked well for our family. The owners have put some thought into the renovation and make excellent use of space. We enjoyed the living room and both decks. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. They have a generous supply of towels, plenty of hot water, and mini split air conditioners, which we only needed one day as it was not too hot. We made good use of the nearby walking paths. Very comfortable and convenient yet secluded feeling location.

THE PERFECT GETAWAY
In addition to being set up perfectly for either friends or family, the house is tucked away in a private area of Edgartown. We arrived and found a welcome note and a bottle of wine (great touch!), endless towels, board games, and a dog bed for our furry little friend! The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable (they supply a lot of pillows!), and if we needed anything at all, Pete (Property Manager) was always on hand! We will be renting again next year!!

The house worked for our one week visit. The condition of the property is not accurately reflected in the listing. The bedroom was damp. We had a hard time finding the place and couldn't reach the manager. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but will look elsewhere next time.

Cozy secluded cottage
Perfect location for our week on Martha's Vineyard celebrating our 50th anniversary - close to beaches, shopping and restaurants, with a quiet place to come back to. We had plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 children - our favorite spot was the screened in porch. We biked to nature trails at both ends of the Boulevard, explored beaches all around the island and visited Mytoi Garden and Polly Hill Arboretum. A week wasn't long enough! Steven was quick to respond when we were planning our trip. Thanks so much for a warm welcome to your lovely cottage.

Terrific cottage for family, in great location
The cottage is a really interesting layout, all one story, and worked well for our family (2 adults, 2 children). Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy time together or a quiet spot for reading. I can imagine that the huge deck and screened porch would be perfect places to hang out in sunnier weather. We were on the Vineyard for a friend's wedding and some of the other children hung out with us for part of the day, and they loved roaming around and exploring the wooded areas around the cottage. It's safe, secluded, no traffic to worry about. We followed the directions in the guest guidelines and walked down to the end of the road for beach access to the pond, which was gorgeous. Even in the wind and rain, the whole island is beautiful and lovely to explore. This cottage is in a nice location because Edgartown and Vineyard Haven are both easy to get to. Steven was very communicative. We received all the information we needed well in advance, and the "guest guidelines" document was thorough and helpful. This is a wonderful rental and we'd recommend it highly!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Schulman

Host profile image
We live in Texas but wish we could be on the Vineyard all year. This cottage is our dream vacation every summer, and we love sharing it with others. My two boys have grown up in the cottage and both learned to ride bikes on the Boulevard, a quiet street that is nothing like a boulevard!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this cottage when we saw it in 2003, after I had been coming to the Vineyard since the mid-1990s. It is secluded and quiet, yet an easy bike ride into Edgartown. I have maintained it lovingly, keeping it simple and uncluttered, and recently renovated it with new windows, kitchen cabinets, bamboo floors and A/C. In 2014, I enclosed the back deck to create a breezy and open three-season room.

What makes this property unique

This cottage was originally a fisherman's cottage in central Edgartown, but many years ago was loaded on a truck and brought out to this wooded lot just off Sengekontacket Pond. It is a nice quiet area, perfect for a relaxing vacation.
