Fabulous Girls Trip

Let me start this review with a shout out to Ellen - the owner. We booked months in advance and she touched base with us the entire time. She answered all our questions and she is super nice and helpful. We feel like old friends. The house was the perfect size and location for 3 girls on our girls trip. The house came stocked with so much! We brought our own linens to make a quick getaway on Sunday to catch an early flight. Thank you, Ellen, for making our trip extra special. Hope to see you soon!

Perfect Location

We had a great time. The location was perfect and we were able to travel around the island by car as well as many places that were within walking distance. The house was clean with the option to use sheets/towels left at the house or bring our own. The best part though was that we were able to bring out 2 dogs. They loved the house and there were so many places for them to go when it was walk time. Ellen was easy to communicate with and ready to take care of any issues that might arise (although none did-our vacation was perfect in every way!).

Place needs a lot of love

I want to say that I have stayed at probably 20 places over the past five years and have never left a bad review. I will start by saying that Ellen the host was very friendly and called before we arrived to help us with check in. When we arrived, there was trash all over the deck, food stuck to the table, globs of conditioner in the outdoor shower and pine needles all over everything. I spent probably an hour tidying and sweeping the outdoor area because it was our family’s vacation and I was going to make the best of it. The yard was full of old brush and logs, trash barrels, and broken grills overgrown with weeds. The cushions were covered in stains and dog hair. The house is about 20 feet from the main Edgartown to Vineyard Haven road which meant cars constantly going by at about 50 mph so even tho the bike lane is there, I was nervous to send my kids out. Finally, there was so much clutter everywhere. When we walked in the door there was cleaning stuff for miles (but no usable broom), lobster pots, just so much random stuff and in a fairly small house it made the place feel very cluttered. The sofa nearly obstructs the front door. The bathrooms are old with moldy caulking and mirrors that are rusty. The toilet paper and dish holders are rusty too. This house was loved sometime in the early 2000s, but needs a strong decluttering and updating. Disappointing given the huge expense for our family and time we won’t get back.

Our favorite place to stay on Martha’s Vineyard!

We spent the perfect week in Edgartown! This our second year staying at this and it was even better than last year. The location is perfect! South Beach and the Jaws Bridge in Oak Bluffs are a short drive or bike ride away. With 6 kids between the ages of 12 and 17, this was very important to us. You can walk into Edgartown center or over to Stop and Shop which is also a huge plus. Don’t feel like driving or riding? The bus stop is right down the street. The house has plenty of bedrooms and beds and is absolutely charming. It is set back from the road and a fence and large flower bushes provide plenty of privacy. There is a large front and back yard. I spent every morning on the deck enjoying my coffee and the hydrangeas. The house is stocked with everything a family could need. Tons of beach towels, beach chairs , linens, a fully stocked kitchen, and board games and puzzles. I mentioned to Ellen how much the kids enjoyed all the games last year and she sent 5 new ones! Ellen is friendly and attentive. She quickly answered any questions I had and checked in to make sure we were having a great time. We will definitely be back and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

Great location and great communication

This is a great location. You can easily walk to Edgartown town center and it has easy access to some beautiful trails through the island preserve. Plenty of room for everyone in this house. Though we didn't use the outside space much (with the exception of coffee on the deck in the morning), it is perfect for hanging and grilling out. The house can hold a lot of guests with the way the bed are arranged. The master has it's own bathroom which was a big bonus. The rest of the rooms share it's own bath. Because we came before the high season, we were allotted some flexibility regarding check out. This was really nice b/c getting the bedding/towels washed before 10:00 would be a challenge (lots of beds!). We brought our dog and were pleasantly surprised that there was a long dog line already attached to the deck outside. The house is on a busy island road with fast moving traffic but there is some privacy due to a fence and the fact that the house is set back a bit. Make sure your littles and your dogs don't wander too far! There were a couple of small items I needed to discuss with the owner and she could not have been more accessible. We plan to stay here again at the same time next year (HS graduation) and would recommend this home to anyone coming to the island.

Edgartown Vacation

The home had all the amenities you could ever ask for. The rooms were spacious and had more than enough beds for everyone. The location was perfect. We could bike to downtown Edgartown and walk to nearby restaurants. It was a short drive to Oak Bluffs. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm everyday, so we ate most of our meals out on the large deck. It was cool enough at nights to have a nice fire in the fire pit and make smores. Highly recommend renting from this host.

Vineyard family holiday vacation

We had a wonderful week on the Vineyard. Ellen, the owner of the property, connected with me before we left, so the check-in process was flawless. The minute we walked into her house we felt right at home. Even our dog, Blue, settled in right away. The location is perfect- a nice walk into Edgartown and within a short drive of the other Vineyard towns and beaches. The night time fires in the cozy living room doing a puzzle or playing games was our family favorite. We loved every moment of our stay and hope to return.

Cozy and Convenient

We enjoyed our stay at Ellen’s house. It’s conveniently located to beaches and bike paths. We took advantage of both during our stay. The house is spotlessly clean, well supplied with a big kitchen and comfy sofas. We stayed in November when weather was too chilly to use the deck but we grilled a Bluefish my husband caught off Chappaquidick. We recommend this house to other groups visiting the Vineyard.

Ellen’s Escape

The house was cute, cozy, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well-appointed with dishware, cooking equipment and gadgets. The location was great as far as being central to everything. The owner was very nice, and we very much enjoyed our stay. Note: if you search for a market or grocery, one might not turn up in your app, but there is a Stop and Shop just a half mile down the road.

Great property for a MV trip!

My wife and I stayed at Ellen’s house for a week. The house was perfect for our summer vacation as it provided easy access to Edgartown, short drive to Oaks Bluff and the rest of the island. In addition, if you forgot any items or wanted to talk a walk in the morning for a coffee, but stores and coffee shops were very close. Not to mention access to the bus right outside the property. Ellen’s house was also great because it was puppy friendly which allowed us to bring our Boston terrier and while we brought our own lead, Ellen also had provided one. In addition, the house was spacious and would be great for a family as well with outdoor space and tons of games!

Great stay! Coming back.

Ellen is a great host. Very communicative and helpful. The home was perfect for our family and we planned for more to come but they had to cancel. It would have still been plenty of room. Due to a family emergency, had to cancel the vehicle ferry and we dreaded taking the bus and carrying all of our luggage, beach chairs, coolers, etc. However, Ellen assured us she had beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels AND the bus stop was basically in the front yard. The only reason we won’t be back next year is the number in our party will be too big. Looking forward to staying there again.

This house has everything you need for a great vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. Close to Edgartown center, the beaches, and the supermarket. We appreciated all of the beach chairs, towels, and games to help keep the kids happy. Nice deck, grill, and plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable.

Pre-season stay

We have family on the island and we rent so that our dog can stay with us since our family has cats. This property was exactly what we needed and what it was advertised to be. The pre-season timeframe (5/7-5/17) was perfect because there was not much traffic at all on the Edgartown Vineyard Haven Road. Even when there were cars there it didn't bother us because the home has a nice privacy fence that separates the front yard from the street. The backyard is a good size and the deck is really nice and new/newer. We were the first to use the home in the season and there was a brand new grill which we didn't use but the next booking would be lucky to have it. We would definitely return to this property in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Duncan

I grew up in Braintree, MA (just south of Boston). For the first 30 years of my life I had never been to the Vineyard.

When we turned 30, my twin sister and I decided to visit this lovely island for the first time. The moment I stepped off the ferry I was in love. Every winter I booked my vacation for the next summer and would do the count down until I could return.

While I still live in Braintree, I try and spend as much time here as possible. No matter what the season, I love coming down!

Why they chose this property

In 2005 I purchased this home. For me the location was ideal, it is on the bike bath, 1.5 miles to the beach and to the edge of the water in downtown Edgartown (The Atlantic on Edgartown Harbor). It also happened to be very close to one of my FAVORITE restaurants, The Square Rigger (Lobster stuffed with Lobster...YUM!).

If I am not in the mood to bike/walk, I can always catch the bus as the house is on the bus route too.

When I purchased it was circa 1970 so I did some major renovations: new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, new mudroom, new deck.

This house also had a fireplace! Yeah, what a great way to enjoy the island in the winter.
