| We wish we were all still on the Vineyard at Deacon Vincent cottage! My two adult sons, daughter, daughter-in-law, 4 month old baby, Henry, and my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful family vaction there September 7 through the 14th. The cottage is well located, charmingly decorated, very clean, and everything you need for a beachy vacation is there including beach towels and chairs. The open layout of the kitchen, dining and living area worked perfectly for us. We could all be together without being on top of one another. And we were also able to find respite from "togetherness" in the private spaces. Most of us used the outdoor shower exclusively and wouldn't rent a house without one. Because of the baby, we ate in almost every night and enjoyed some truly decadent meals prepared by my two sons who are great cooks. I worked along side them and though the kitchen is compact it is efficient and easy to work in. Everything we needed was there including sharp knives (very unusual in a rental as you may know)! Weather permitting, cocktails and dinner on the deck was the best and we were pleasantly surprised at the absence of mosquitoes. Henry and I (Grandma) spent many soothing hours in the front porch swing. Be sure to locate the welcome binder when you first arrive. Jill (the owner) has provided lots of great information and recommendations for food, shopping, activities, etc. all over the island. She was really great to work with. Though our weather was "mixed" we fit in golf, tennis (both at Farm Neck), charter fishing, biking, beach time and a family portrait taken at South Beach with a local photographer. Can't wait to see the proofs. Thankyou, again Jill, for renting to us. We look forward to returning another time. |

We loved our stay at Deacon Vincent Cottage, it was convenient and comfortable in every way and furnished with love and eye for detail. Jill Katz, the owner, went out of her way to make us feel at home and to make sure that we had everything we needed. She went to great lengths to find us a great babysitter and to arrange for cribs, bikes and a high chair to make our stay more comfortable. It felt like we were staying in the home of a friend.

| My family - husband, two sons, two daughters-in-law, and two granddaughters - and I had a wonderful vacation in this lovely Martha's Vineyard home. It is a charming property, nicely decorated, yet comfortable, with a great layout. I liked the openess of the living, dining and kitchen areas where we could all be together. There are also several areas where one can enjoy some quiet time as well. We loved the deck with its large table and gas grill and the front porch with its wicker furniture. My two year old granddaughter loved the outdoor shower! It's a great location - close to both South Beach and Edgartown and in a quiet neighborhood, off one of the main roads. Jill was great and was very helpful in making sure our stay was a pleasant and happy one. |

| My whole family had a wonderful week at the cottage. Its really an adorable place with a great backyard for the kids and a wraparound porch for letting your cares drift away. Terrific location - just a short bike ride into Edgartown or the beach. House was really well stocked - with beach towels,beach chairs, bikes and all the pots and pans you could ask for in the kitchen. Jill was a great "landlady" - - eager to ensure all our needs were taken care of. Fantastic experience all around. We hope to come back for more! |

| My children, my friends, and I had the best time at Deacon Vincent Way Cottage. I believe we were the first tenants of the season (in May). It was a perfect week for us all. The cottage was so charming and cozy, yet slept all eight of us easily. Every amenity was considered by the owners for our comfort. We had a wonderful lobster dinner one night on the back deck, loved the outdoor shower, and really enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing watching the sunsets every night. The kitchen was well thought out for those of us who like to cook. Great sense of privacy and so close to the beautiful South Beach. The owner, Jill, was so helpful and available by phone or email at all times, if needed. |

| My family and I really enjoyed are stay at Deacon Vincent Way! The neighborhood was great for the kids. Two minute car ride to South beach was excellent, especially because I do the packing and unpacking! Definitely would recommend this home to families. We loved the ability to cook at home and eat on the porch, especially for the kids. Very clean and organized home. Thanks again! |

My family and I were one of the first to experience the accomandations at the DV cottage (June 17th-24th 2007).We were drawn to Mother's Vineyard to celebrate a wedding and used the opportunity to have a family reunion.The cottage was a perfect setting for the reunion.There was ample space for 4 families to share without getting claustraphobic.The design of the house lends itself to large groups.
The outside porches both front and back
were a welcome and useful addition to the house.The gardens surrounding the property were lovely.The way the front garden is designed gives privacy to the cottage.During our visit we were lucky to watch the pink roses bloom.
The cottage is well located . Very close to Edgartown for shopping and restaurants as well as minutes from the beach.
We had a great time and would have no problems recommending the DV cottage for a few days, weeks or longer.
Regards,

Welcome to the Deacon Vincent Cottage in Katama in Edgartown, MA. You will
find this cottage to be the perfect home away from home. Having rented on the
island in the past, we have learned what rentors are looking for. So we've added
amenities you will enjoy, like featherbeds, feather duvets, matellasse linens,
egyptian cotton towels. Our kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of
and more. The house is an open living floor plan. We think you'll enjoy it. Have
a happy stay.
