Like a home away from home
I had my car and after an 8 hour Standby in Woods Hole due to Island Home vessel issue, this VRBO was a very welcome reprieve. The owner was excellent to communicate. We are everyday walkers, so when my car battery died and needed to get to the Christmas Parade, we walked. Always check your Google map. we loved the street, the house was perfect. Thank you so very much Joe!

Christmas/Winter visit
We had a peaceful and enjoyable stay at Joe’s home. The house was comfortable and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. We especially enjoyed the free-standing gas fireplace in the living room. It made the house warm and cozy. The neighborhood is tucked away and quiet. Even though it was cold, we enjoyed several walks into Edgartown center. We had some wild turkeys come to call in the yard on Christmas day. Joe was easy to communicate with when we had some questions. All in all, it was a relaxing getaway. Just what we wanted!

Wonderful stay
Stayed with my husband and school age son at the house for several nights to explore Martha's Vineyard. The house was a perfect well-located launchpad and very comfortable. The kitchen was particularly well-equipped and we were able to cook most meals there. The "off season" in October was lovely. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great stay!
We loved our recent stay at this property with our two young kids. Our kids enjoyed the puzzles and coloring books when we were winding down at night. The house was clean, updated, and overall very comfortable to stay in. Quiet street in a great location. We were in walking distance to downtown Edgartown, a great playground around the corner, and Stop and Shop.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient!
My husband and I vacationed at this property during the first week of June, and it was fantastic! We were within easy walking distance of the Stop-'n'-Shop, and comfortable walking distance to downtown Edgartown, where we enjoyed strolling, shopping, and dining out. The house itself was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen impressively stocked -- so much so that we cooked and ate in even more than we'd originally planned to. Joe provided thorough and thoughtful instructions, making this one of our easiest and most relaxing Vineyard trips ever; we'd be happy to stay here again, and will definitely check the availability when we next make our way to the island.

Overall nice stay
The property was clean with the exception of an ant issue in the kitchen. The owner was not able to get an exterminator in before our departure unfortunately. We were diligent and wiped down the counters often, left no food or beverages out and kept the ant issue to a minimum. The “queen” bed did not measure to a queen size. I would classify it as a full (I keep a tape measure handy in my purse - lol). It was tight especially being used to a king size at home. The weather was spectacular and again overall a very nice stay.

Lots of Positives!
This home has all the amenities that you would expect and our stay met our expectation. Our only wish was that it were closer to the harbor area as we didn't bring a car to Edgartown. Great fun to ride the local buses all around the Island then rent a Jeep when 2 family members joined us. The house was very clean and comfortable and the owner very gracious and quick to reply to our inquiries. We would come back again.

Adorable home in a convenient location
My husband and I have stayed at several different rentals on MV, but always in Katama (closer to South Beach). This location is so much more convenient! We could walk into Edgartown, easily bike to OB and State Beach, and having the market so nearby made last minute shopping needs a breeze. The neighborhood was quiet, the house has everything you need and is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Joseph was quick to respond to questions. We would highly recommend this house for a couple or for a family with two children.

Amazing Family Vacation
From the get go, Joe was delightful to work with. He always got right back to me with any questions I had. When we arrived at the house, it was spotless. We were very impressed with how well the property was maintained. Plenty of extra linens and the beds were comfy. We had many fun nights on the back deck grilling and the outdoor shower was amazing after a day at the beach. My 7 year old son and 2 year old daughter had fun playing in the yard. The close proximity to the bike path made it easy to hop on the bikes and head into town. Although the home is close to everything, we loved that it was on a quiet street without a lot of traffic (so much so we were able to send our son out on his bike to ride up and down the street). Wonderful family memories were made this week. We cant wait to come back!

Was an excellent last minute trip!
Joe is very quick to communicate and reliable. The house met all our needs with central a/c (and loved the ceiling fan in the living room-great cross breeze!), WiFi, puzzles, two bathrooms with showers, and more. We are a family of four and could fit two pack n plays in the kid bedroom. The basement is very clean and uncluttered, making it super easy to use the free washer and dryer. The back deck could have used a bit of scrubbing but is a nice setting for relaxing. The corner lot and lush lawn made for a nice setting. I wish we were there for the many hydrangea bushes to bloom - I bet that’s gorgeous! We were able to walk into town with two young kids very easily and appreciated being so close to Stop n Shop. The only concern I had was that the mattress in the master was rock hard and really upset my back - one suggestion for an upgrade.

Great house, location and owner!
I would say that the pictures don't do the property justice, although they look nice, the place itself feels bigger than the pictures show. The kitchen is REALLY nice, all the appliances are very clean and it was nice to be able to eat at home rather than eat out for every meal. You can walk to the Stop and Shop from the house (or it's a 1 minute drive). The house is very comfortable, nice decor and the outdoor shower was a fun added bonus. The house is located on a very, very quiet street. So if you are not a quiet party yourself, you'll stick out and this property isn't for you. If you are looking for quiet, peace and relaxation, this house will provide that. The street is tucked away between two main streets, so you get the best of both worlds, easy to get to the action/downtown Edgartown but quiet when you get home. Edgartown center is probably a 10-15 minute walk, all flat, easy walk. Parking in Downton Edgartown can be tough, so it was nice to have the option to walk. Oak Bluffs, West Tisbury, Aquinnah are all short drives from the house. The owner was very communicative. We didn't need to reach him during our stay but he left info if we needed to. I would absolutely recommend this property for a great stay on the Vineyard.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph McMahon

Host profile image
After a very long search I purchased this home in 1998, at the time knowing little about Martha's Vineyard or owning a vacation home. I soon found that I enjoyed the whole process of providing summer rentals so much that I went on to purchase another home in Oak Bluffs, and then one more after that. One important thing I have learned and always try to keep in mind is that guests come to my homes for perhaps their one vacation of the year, and this time is very important to each them -- which is why we are always striving to make the house better each year, sometimes with big items such as installing central ac, or in small ways, such as improving the wireless or adding a few more dvds and games for the kids.

Why they chose this property

Once I got the idea to buy a home on MV, it really 'stuck' and I got a bit obsessed by it. That's a good thing, because it was no easy task. I can remember going to the island on the coldest, wettest, most dreary winter days you can imagine, to look at all kinds of homes -- I didn't like any of them. The search was expanded to Nantucket, as well, with no success. I finally reached the point of giving up when my broker asked me to come out just one more time to look at a property that was not listed for sale. That home was, of course, this property on Hannah's Way. I don't think I was in the home 60 seconds before I knew I had found what I was looking for.

What makes this property unique

One thing that makes this home stand out from most ranches and capes is that the living room has a vaulted ceiling. This ceiling gives this relatively small home a feeling of openness and space that I think you notice as soon as you walk in the front door. Visitors always tell me that the place 'feels' like home, and I think this starts with the first impression one gets upon entering. Another nice feature is that the home is very close to Main Street, yet it is on just about the quietest lot you will find. So you have easy access to town plus a peaceful home to relax in.
