Great week even better host!
Enjoyed our stay at the Katamy. Location was perfect- close to Edgartown and South beach! House was spotless and very comfortable with a great deck and yard. I recommend renting bikes to easily get around the area. Don and Kathy were fantastic hands on hosts.

Great vacation near South Beach
Our family of six had great beach days on South Beach. We all enjoyed walking, biking, jogging and blading around the triangle. We traveled to Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and Up Island for dinner, golf, fishing, bowling and more beaches. Thank you to Don & family for their hospitality. We enjoyed fresh caught clams and even a fire pit one evening. We made use of the grill and porch, but enjoyed the AC as well. It was nice to have the owner nearby and the use of a few more chairs and umbrellas.

A quiet haven close to the beach
Don and Kathy Welch are great hosts with two great properties tucked in off the main roads to South Beach but close enough to the beach to walk to it. The house is immaculate and cozy. We couldn't have been more pleased with our accommodations.

Why they chose this property

Katama is one of the most desirable areas on Martha's Vineyard.The word 'Katama' comes from a Wampanoag word meaning 'crab-fishing place.' The terrain is a flat out-wash plain, characterized by sandy soil and few trees. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Great Plains.' Katama has been a popular summer resort since the late 1800s. Our Katama home is strategically located close to South Beach/Katama Bay and the Village of Edgartown. Better yet, it is located on a private and quiet road, just a short walk to 1) the island-wide biking trails, 2) a trolley stop which will connects in the Village of Edgartown to all island destinations and 3) the Katama Airfield. Just down the road are South Beach ( public beach with summer lifeguards, restrooms and free parking) and Katama Bay, protected by a barrier beach, which is great spot for shell fishing and launching kayaks. It also has a public landing and boat ramp. Or you may want to visit the close by Katama Farm which is owned by the Town of Edgartown and leased to The Farm Institute a nonprofit teaching farm that educates and engages children and adults in sustainable agriculture through the diverse operations of a working farm by providing year-round educational programs offering learning experiences in: Farming (field crops, produce, fruit, hay); Land preservation; The culture and history of Martha's Vineyard farming; Nutritional awareness; and Humane livestock management (cattle, poultry, swine, sheep, goats). Forgot to mentionRight Fork at the Katama Kitchen (Summer only) at 12 Mattakesett Way (right at Katama Field Airport). Food is served inside or on their deck right in the middle of Katama Airfield so you can watch the private planes take off and land.The bi-plane tours of the island are fun too.
