About this property

Walk To Downtown and Beaches

Historic home in Edgartown, full of old charm. Wonderful location to walk to shops and dining, Fuller beach, the lighthouse, Church St. bus station, or just enjoy the private backyard. This location allows you to enjoy your stay without having to have a car.
The home has a full kitchen, dining room, living room, sitting room, bedroom with a double bed, and bathroom with shower stall on the first floor. Cable and internet is provided. The second floor has 3 bedrooms; one with twin beds, one with queen bed, and another with a double bed. There is a full bath on the second floor. We suggest that you arrange linen service in advance of your stay. Takemmy Linen Rental is very reliable (508-693-2788).
There is central air conditioning upstairs (installed 2019) and window A/C units on the first for the hot or humid days. Baseboard heat is available throughout the house.
Off the kitchen in the back of the house is a deck with outdoor seating and a grill. The yard is good size for Edgartown proper - big enough for a game of catch!
If you plan to bring a car in the summer months, be sure to book your reservations in advance with the MV Steamship Authority as summer auto reservations fill quickly and standby is not available on weekends during the summer..

Great house, perfect location
We really enjoyed the colonial, historic feel of the house, and appreciated the comfortable, clean, updated furnishings. The location can’t be beat, for proximity to Edgartown lighthouse and the downtown.

Lovely house in ideal location
We loved our stay at the Spear house. We've been coming to the Vineyard for years, and this house was one of the best we've stayed in. We had our 3 adult kids and their partners with us, plus one medium size dog. The house was an ideal size and well equipped, so we all felt very comfortable. It is ideally located, which allowed everyone to do their own thing, e.g., walking into the beautiful Edgartown for shopping, dining, coffee at Espresso Love, strolling on Lighthouse Beach, biking to any number of wonderful beaches, etc. We'd definitely stay there again.

Edgartown Gem!
The location of this house in Edgartown was perfect. The host was very responsive to my questions. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and large enough for the 8 of us. The deck and backyard was a great hangout. Would love to come back!

Beautiful Edgartown Historic Home
Beautiful 1776 Edgartown home so close to the ET center that is takes about three minutes to get there walking. So convenient not to have to worry about finding a parking spot in the crowded ET lots and/or street parking. We all had a great time. We will be back.

Perfect trip!
Our family chose an off season visit to Martha’s Vineyard. Communication was prompt and easy throughout. The property was perfectly located for morning walks to the light house and coffee at a little cafe nearby. Shopping of all sorts was nearby as were plenty of restaurant choices. Thé home was well appointed and had everything g we needed for a perfect week.

Great Intown stay
With ages in our group from 3 to 72 it was a perfect property. Multiple bedrooms and baths worked well for us. The house was stocked with an excellent supply of cooking to cleaning items which is not always the case. It made the house very homey. Location was perfect for either walking to a beach, or into town for ice cream or dinner. The owners have made this a great beach house.

This is our 3rd year in a row staying at this residence. We have always had a great time and Pam is very easy to work with and check in could not be easier. Very cozy and quiet house within an easy 5 min walk to Edgartown center. Fenced in backyard was perfect for the dog to run around and play. We will be back!

Perfect Edgartown family vacation home
Home has been lovingly restored and updated for vacationers. Appliances all worked well. We were in town for a family wedding and appreciated the clean home, laundry (including ironing board!) and deck furniture. We were the only family in town who had beach chairs provided, too. Lovely, private yard. Great to stroll into town. Super, hospital hosts. Highly recommend.

Perfect Location!
Great house and garden. You can feel the history in a good way. Everything in the house was clean and comfortable, and the hosts were very accommodating. Only note is remember to bring sheets and towels, I almost missed that part of the listing. The kicker is the location though. It was our first time to MV, and when/if we come back we would stay in this same house again. It was quiet as could be at night, and yet we were a couple of minutes walk down to the harbor and main street. Perfect.

About the host

We are the 3rd and 4th generation to own this home on the island. Steve & Bill (brothers) and wife Pam own the home and enjoy off seasons and weekends here.

Why they chose this property

Family grew up here or enjoyed summers visiting family here.


What makes this property unique

It's an old home. Was it really built in 1776? We have not been able to trace records that far but certainly there are homes in the area of this era. Nana always claimed that the house was 4 years older than the house across the street (1780)!
The house has much of the old charm but we are continually doing upgrades to make it more attractive.
It's location is great and it has some historic charm.
