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..

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 spot for two families

We had an amazing stay – even with four (little) kids between us there was plenty of space and the yard was perfect! So lovely to walk to town easily and get food or ice cream. Would love to come back!

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!

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.

Very nice home in Edgartown

Pam's house is located on a peaceful street just a short walk from the center of Edgartown. It is a spacious home that is nicely furnished with a large, well equipped kitchen. It is very well maintained, clean and with comfortable beds, all exactly as described in the listing.

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.

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.

Other review say it better than I can

We had a great short stay on Marthas Vineyard and staying in this property really was perfect. 6 grown people and a dog were never in each others way, house is very special and OLD in a good way, loved that every room was different, loaded with history. Kitchen is well stocked, back yard is great for our dog or small kids or just relaxing on the deck. We walked every day to the beech and downtown. Would rent again if the opportunity comes up. Host was very flexible and responsive helping us make the most out of poorly timed ferry reservations.

Pam was delightful to work with and arranging our mini-vacation at her home. The property was wonderful. Pictures were very accurate and everything you needed was there. The location was perfect, close to town but very quiet. My family and I look forward to returning next year and for a longer stay.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Spear

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.
