Spacious, Old Vineyard charm with Private Beach

This is a classic, rare vintage Vineyard property: a beautifully simple, comfortable, and charming family house located directly on its own private beach on Katama Bay. Peaceful and secluded, yet a short walk or bike ride to the popular, public surf beach, and 3 miles from bustling, historic Edgartown. The house is both intimate and expansive: equally perfect for small families or larger groups, for quiet retreats or festive reunions. Spacious and soulful indoors and out. A magical refuge. .
