Our host was an excellent communicator and made certain to answer all our questions in advance. Entry to the property is easy and convenient, and he was also able to recommend very good housekeepers for our stay.
This property is a lovely, fully renovated antique house in an absolutely delightful neighborhood full of gardens, picket fences and lovely classic Vineyard houses. Very short walk to the beach or the Chappy ferry, wonderful walking just in the neighborhood with gorgeous gardens full of hydrangea, boxwood hedges and dahlias. Beautiful street lamps and antique houses all around on Starbuck (next street over). The house had a perfectly appointed kitchen with top end appliances and all tools for sophisticated home cooks. The entertainment system was also high quality. The house, while antique, is beautifully restored and solidly constructed with broad, polished floors and substantial furniture. We had two older people with mobility issues in our party, but the downstairs bedrooms were good for them, and they only had to negotiate a couple of steps up and down. We had a wonderful time riding the brand new bicycles over to East beach on Chappy and cycling to the grocery store.
There were only a couple of small downsides to the visit: the neighborhood, while gorgeous, can be very busy during the weekday with the many staff around who keep it so well manicured: a lot of mowing and yard work is often going on in neighboring yards, and if you bring your pups along, be sure to leash them going out in the yard at night, as there is a neighborhood skunk around. Overall it was a five star stay and we would love to return to this house another time.
