We stayed here with our adult kids and were delighted, first of all, with the location, which allowed us to bike into Edgartown Village; to South Beach; and to nearby Morning Glory Farm. The house is beautifully equipped with everything you can think of. (We rented our own bikes and kayaks; most rental services on the island pick up and deliver.) We did, indeed, gather around the large dining table on the three-season porch for candlelit dinners with family and friends and the deck was perfect for post-beach reading and pre-dinner cocktails. The indoor/outdoor flow is great for large groups and there are lots of "living" rooms that allow different groups to do different things: curl up in conversation, catch up with the office, play board games, and watch TV. Also, we were most grateful for the easy Internet access. The cutting and herb gardens provide added charm and color. Seriously, everything is there and within easy reach. The owners could not have been kinder and more helpful. We recommend booking your car reservation as soon as possible if you plan to ferry your car over. If you stay here, you can relax and know you've chosen well for every member of the family.
