The home was wonderful, such a treasure. Great for family and friends. Large kitchen provides ample room for entertaining, all the supplies you need. Hope to be able to go back.
My mom lived on Marthaâs Vineyard for over forty years. This was the perfect place to hold a memorial-celebration of life for her. Off island guests could walk from the ferry, no cars needed. Family and friends who traveled from out of state were very comfortable staying here. The beds are luxurious. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nicely furnished and well lit. The kitchen is huge and had everything needed to cater this event ourselves. The large dining table, and kitchen island held an abundance of food. We used the TV for a slideshow. Everyone had room to mingle, or sit as there are plenty of chairs and sofas. I would definitely recommend this house for a family event, or a multi family vacation.
Ideal location to walk through Vineyard Haven. Ample off-street parking. Great kitchen, great bathrooms. Clean and well equipped for large family gatherings. Would come again!
We had an amazing time at the Dexter. W writhing was perfect and Alex was a very accommodating host! She answered all of our questions and was very responsive We hosted an intimate wedding and it was magical. I couldnât recommend this property more!
Amazing stay, beautiful and charming historical property, very clean and organized, and easy walk to everything including ferry, shopping, food, bus system. Canât wait to come back to MV and would absolutely stay at this property again.
The Dexter House is a huge, well-maintained, well-decorated property. It was perfect for our event. At the most, we had 13 people staying in the house. It isn't easy to find a property with so many near-equal bedrooms for adults -- e.g., no bunk-beds. As many of us were between 65 and 75, we had a bit of a challenge matching bedrooms and bathrooms to guests. Note that all the bathrooms with walk-in showers are on the 3rd floor. Alexandra was very patient to answer all my questions about room and bathroom layout so I could figure out in advance whether the property would work for us.There was plenty of room for all our activities: we had a separate "music room" for our instruments and jams; a bright "puzzle room" on the second floor, where we worked a jigsaw puzzle during the week; and the main living/dining area where we did a play-reading with 13 characters, had a wine-tasting with a local sommelier, and had a sit-down birthday dinner for 15 served at the house by The Attic restaurant next door. Wonderful!The kitchen is very well-equipped. It met all our cooking needs. All our guests loved the property and found their beds and their rooms to be comfortable. The Dexter House is a very special property. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Alex and her family were wonderful. Her home is beautiful and well located. We were thrilled to have a large group join us for a summer celebration. They were kind, responsive and anticipated all of our needs. We would definitely stay here again!
House accomidated family & friends quit well. Plenty of places to gather as well as find alone time. Host very responsive. Already planning next years trip.
Beautifully appointed historical home with all of the modern conveniences! We are a family group ages 72 to 8 months. Everyone loved this beautiful home and the location in downtown Vineyard Haven was perfect! We are already talking about booking for 2024!
Great house in an excellent location. Walkable to many restaurants, coffee, ice cream, shopping and ferry. Kitchen well stocked, lots of board games and a great outdoor area! Great communication with property manager. Highly recommend!
After visiting the island for the first time, we are so glad to have chosen Vineyard Haven for our stay. It is quieter than the other towns and had everything we needed. The house is conveniently located near food, bike rentals, and shopping so easy to walk. The Dexter is beautiful - charming, comfortable, well-maintained, and so well appointed with many thoughtful amenities! I rated the online listing a 4, but it's really a 4.5, because i couldn't read some of the room descriptors on the layout. Our family of 14 loved it! The best part was that each of the 5 family groups had their own space to relax.
The house is in a fabulous location - a short walk to shops, restaurants, and food store. Our expectations we exceeded as far as comfort and amenities. You will want for nothing! The owner quickly reply to our message and was very easy to work with. This house is a gem.
Our stay at this lovely home was perfect. Every aspect exceeded our expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again. Alex the host was very friendly and accommodating and the condition and location of the property couldn't be better. I highly recommend.
My family and I spent two glorious days in this beautiful home, and hosted a Celebration of Life for my sister on the main floor. We could not have asked for a more beautiful home and great location. It is perfect for entertaining, as well as large family gatherings. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Our only regret is that we only stayed 2 nights! We certainly plan to return.
This stay was exceptional in every respect. The house was clean when we entered and the amenties were very nice.
I recommend at minimum you installing a hand hold for getting in and out of the tub in the downstairs bathroom. To enter the tub is very high and I'm concerned someone might slip getting in and out of the tub.
Great property for a getaway with friends. Amazing breakfast and lunch right next door. The BLT is a must. Great food in the area. Something important to note is there are no true bars or nightlife in the immediate area of the house but it was not a problem for us.
We had bad weather while there but hanging in the house was just as fun as having the outdoor areas. Just sad we couldnât take advantage.
Our home is on Main Street so it is in the thick of all the Vineyard Haven action. You can sit on our porch to people watch or withdraw to our private patio where you'll feel a world away.
