Newly Renovated Apartment in the heart of Edgartown on the Bike Path!

Do not book for more than two adults! I was amazed at the number of 10/10 reviews for this property, but the devil is in the detail, and the reviews from Patrick W in June 2023 and Rachel L in September 2024 paint a more accurate picture. First the positives, excellent communication throughout, flexible bag drop, a powerful shower, and a helpful shop manager Steve downstairs to address the problems we had. Upon arrival, you are greeted by a pile of old sports equipment outside the accommodation, see the photos below. We booked the property for 3 adults, it is marketed for up to 4, but on arrival, only the double bed was made up, there is a small sofa bed, but no sheets, this certainly couldn’t fit two more people. Secondly the property is described as newly renovated, it seems this is no longer the case, as the wood in the bathroom was rotting away. Finally, there were very few basics in the apartment, let alone the personal touches you expect from a host. Toilet paper and soap would be the minimum you should expect in a VRBO, shower gel, shampoo and given the price, perhaps coffee for the machine wouldn’t go a miss either. The apartment would suit a young couple looking for a no frills base on the island, but VRBO should remove “newly renovated” from the description and the host could consider cleaning up the outside entrance - first impressions - and adding a few welcome touches. It has potential, but currently leaves a lot to be desired.

Great trip! The apartment is in a great location for walking into Edgartown and the near by grocery. It was perfect for the four of us. We enjoyed our stay! Great mother-daughter week!

Vineyard escape The place is just as the picture shows. Definitely on the smaller side, but comfortable for a family of four with two young children. The location could not be better! You are in walking distance of a Stop & Shop, bike rental, car rental, restaurants, and downtown Edgartown. Right on the bike path. The place could have been stocked with towels and more kitchen supplies.
