Newly renovated charming modern island home for your relaxing getaway

Great visit, very peaceful and much needed.

It was lovely as always!

We had an enjoyable stay at this lovely home. It was very well equipped, including a water filter which was greatly appreciated. The open floor plan made it feel spacious and there is a large, covered deck with comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is beautiful and well equipped with nice appliances and cookware. The bathroom and bedroom are small, but comfortable and the AC worked well. It’s ideal for 2 people. The washer and dryer are in the basement but are only accessible from the outside of the house. It’s not obvious in the description and not really a big issue, but something to be aware of. The house was very clean, but you are asked to launder the towels the night before you leave. It’s an unusual request, but understandable since it would take the cleaning service longer. We did think that the couches were a bit uncomfortable and may need an upgrade as they are very soft. It is located about a mile from town, so it was very walkable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

We stayed at Kathleen's house in late August - early September 2020 and had a wonderful experience. This was our first time both visiting the Vineyard and renting a house for vacation, and it well-exceeded our expectations.The house was truly spotless upon our arrival, and more spacious than in the pictures... very comfortable for a couple. The porch and deck were great places to have meals outside and relax! The house is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac but still walkable/bikeable to Vineyard Haven. We enjoyed biking around West Chop and into town. Beaches are mostly a short drive away -- our favorite was South Beach, in Katama, -- and Kathleen has outfitted the property with great beach chairs, towels, sandcastle toys, etc.One note of caution is that when we stayed, the house did not have A/C, so got a bit warm... there are window fan units and skylights that open which help though! I think A/C units may be available if requested in advance.We'd recommend this property to couples looking for a quiet, convenient, and clean house to retreat to after a day exploring the island by bike or car!As a note for traveling during COVID-19: the Vineyard is taking excellent precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and we were very comfortable being out and about with our masks on. Mask compliance is very high and expected when walking around in the towns or on narrow trails. Restaurants have also adapted well for outdoor dining and takeout. This is a great place to stay and have a safe, clean, and relaxing trip!
