Description

Description

Note: All weekly rates are reduced by $2,200 or more to the current listed prices, effective Feb 24.

Katama Gem is near the beach, recently renovated, air-conditioned, sleeps 9, has 6 bedrooms, and 3 1/2 baths. It is a very private family home on 2 acres, located on a quiet lane off Edgartown Bay Road, the most exclusive and desirable area of the Katama neighborhood of Edgartown.

Katama has the popular three-mile barrier beach called South Beach, with Atlantic Ocean surf on one side and a protected salt pond on the other and is especially popular with families looking for easy proximity to both South Beach and Edgartown Village.

With multiple decks and 2 living rooms. the main house has 5 bedrooms and there is a private king suite in an adjacent building. There is a handicapped ramp to the front door and accessible king bedroom and full bath on first floor. A large yard and an expansive lawn surround the home, allowing for plenty of privacy. The house is recently renovated with new paint throughout and all new furniture. The house can accommodate two families or a multi-generational family. The private king suite is a big bonus and serves perfectly as a second master or separate spot for in-laws or an au pair.

This wonderful Vineyard family compound looks out onto Norton Point, a 2.5-mile-long strip of sand dunes connecting Martha's Vineyard and the island of Chappaquiddick. It's a 3 minute bike ride to beautiful South Beach, on the south shore of the island, facing the Atlantic ocean with white sand and scenic dunes. A short 5 minute walk to Katama Bay boat landing to launch your kayak (Island Spirit has rentals) or ride to Edgartown on the bike path. You can take your four-wheel drive vehicle on the beach by buying a permit from the Trustees of Reservations. Norton Point and South Beach provide the best opportunity on the Vineyard for clamming, surfcasting, swimming, bird watching, and picnicking. Location, location, location! Also, nearby within walking distance is the 162-acre Katama Farm Institute, an island nonprofit devoted to conservation and agriculture. Wander a flat, two mile walking trail along the south pasture, or peek into the farm stand.

Edgartown village, only 3 miles from us, can be reached via the bike path, by boat or by car. It is renowned for its whaling era architecture, amazing shopping and dining. Edgartown harbor is one of the most gorgeous in all of the world. Chartering a day sail is just a phone call away.

Cleaning : Cleaning between rentals is done by a professional cleaning company. .

Linens: All linens (blankets, sheets, pillow cases, bed coverlets, towels) are professionally laundered, cleaned and supplied for each rental by a long-established Martha’s Vineyard linen rental company.

OWNER'S STORY:

Hello! My name is Barb and I am the owner of our 6 bedroom, air-conditioned Katama Gem. My family has been coming to Martha's Vineyard for forty years. We started coming by yacht from New Jersey and fell in love with Edgartown Harbor, one of the most beautiful in the world! Luckily, my parents bought a house off of Edgartown Bay Road in Katama and we got off the boat! We now spend our days with the next generation of grandchildren, sailing a classic wooden dory made by my father and shopping for fresh island-grown corn and pies at Morning Glory Farm. We also play a ton of tennis, go for runs on the Katama Farm loop and spend time on nearby South Beach and Norton Point or water skiing in Katama Bay. In the evenings, we have cocktails on the upper deck or play corn hole on the lower deck and have large family dinners. Did I mention the pie from Morning Glory? When we are not soaking in all the Vineyard has to offer, we are in the Boston area raising three college-age boys. My parents and siblings are in New Jersey still and active in the house and the Vineyard community.

If you have never been to the Vineyard before, I know you’ll love this amazing place! If you have, you know what I’m saying!!! We would love to help you enjoy your stay! Please reach out with any questions big or small.

    5/5 Our family had an amazing stay at Barb's house in Katama. The house was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities we could need. Communication with Barb was the best I've ever experienced, and her recommendations were wonderful. We had bikes delivered based on her recommendation and couldn't have been happier with the service. The location was perfect for us - we could bike or walk to the beach, bike into town, and also enjoy being at the house, indoors and outdoors on the porches. The house was perfectly clean upon arrival, and all linens and bath towels are freshly laundered by a linen service, including blankets/coverlets, which I appreciated. Thank you, Barb, for sharing your home with us! show more show less

    5/5 Amazing owner, amazing home, amazing location! We spent a week. Our first trip to the Vineyard. Owner was beyond helpful, from tips re restaurants to things to do and see, where to rent bikes and chairs, and also helping us with the car ferry. Home was lovely for our family, clean and spacious. We can't wait to rent again.

    Perfect Martha's Vineyard getaway
    July 2022

    Our family and friends loved this beautiful home. It is perfectly located minutes from the beach in a peaceful area of Katama, close to the bike path and an easy ride, walk or run into Edgartown.

    There is a huge yard for games, a lower deck for dinners and upper deck with water views for morning coffee, evening cocktails and sunsets. The house is stocked with everything that you need. The bedrooms are nicely appointed and beds very comfortable, and there is plenty of room for gathering or curling up with a book.

    Barb, the owner, provides wonderful written recommendations for restaurants, island activities and places to visit, and is available any time to kindly answer questions. She went above and beyond by checking in several times to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. We have rented many homes on the island and this property was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weeks we have had there. Highly recommended.     show more show less

    Wonderful Vineyard family vacation home!
    We loved our stay at this beautiful home! Location is great, house is perfect for families and guest house with separate WiFi ideal for those needing to do work from home. Barb was incredibly responsive and her attention to detail, such as the "kitchen map" was much appreciated! Thank you! We will be back!

    Summer Retreat
    The house totally lived up to its description. We have traveled to the Vineyard every summer for several years now and have always enjoyed the Katama Bay area and staying there was such a treat. It had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and not be in each other's way. The view from the top deck was amazing and we enjoyed our cocktails up there in the evening!

    Wonderful house, excellent location!
    This is a very comfortable house in an excellent location... walking distance to south beach. Air conditioners worked well, and the decks were lovely to use. We had a couple of meals outside and enjoyed them very much. We set up a volleyball net in the backyard... plenty of room. Gas grill made cookouts easy. Plenty of trash barrels and recycling barrels as well. We had one nice evening dinner with 25+ people, and the house handled it all very well. Excellent internet speeds, and TV was internet connected so there was plenty of choice. Washer/dryer worked fine. Pictures in the listing were accurate. Linens were comfortable, and not having to bring bath towels (supplied) or beach towels (10 were supplied) was great. Location is also just a half block from the bike path (along a dirt road), so perfect for those that like biking/jogging/rollerblading. There is also a kayak/canoe/etc. entry point to Katama bay just around the corner, with parking. Barb is an excellent owner, helping with our every request, and alerting us when we had left a bathing suit behind (even offering to mail it to us).

    Fabulous family home!
    We stayed at this home with my family and my sister's family with kids ages 11-26! There were tons of bedrooms and great spaces to hang out. The location was fabulous - a ten-minute walk to the beach or a 15-minute bike ride to town. We cooked great family dinners and played lots of games at night. Barb was a fabulous host who got back to me quickly with any questions or needs that I had. Would definitely recommend!

    Hello! My name is Barb and I am the owner of our 6 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath, air-conditioned ''Katama Gem'' near the beach.
    My family has been coming to Martha's Vineyard for forty years. We started coming by yacht from New Jersey and fell in love with Edgartown Harbor, one of the most beautiful in the world! Luckily, my parents bought a house off of Edgartown Bay Road in Katama and we got off the boat! We now spend our days with the next generation of grandchildren, sailing a classic wooden dory made by my father and shopping for fresh island-grown corn and pies at Morning Glory Farm. We also play a ton of tennis, go for runs on the Katama Farm loop and spend time on nearby South Beach and Norton Point or water skiing in Katama Bay. In the evenings, we have cocktails on the upper deck or play corn hole on the lower deck and have large family dinners. Did I mention the pie from Morning Glory? When we are not soaking in all the Vineyard has to offer, we are in the Boston area raising three college-age boys. My parents and siblings are in New Jersey still and active in the house and the Vineyard community.
    If you have never been to the Vineyard before, I know you'll love this amazing island. If you have, you know what I'm saying!!! We would love to help you enjoy your stay! Please reach out with any questions big or small.
