Edgartown’s stylish getaway, Idle Hour Cottage, is a relaxing, cozy cottage perfectly situated between town and South Beach along the bike path, and a 5-minute walk to the Katama General Store for every convenience. The Cottage boasts high vaulted ceilings, wide plank floors, luxury finishes, designer furniture and fixtures, and mini split AC/heat. The cottage comes with an impressive list of amenities (see below) so you can enjoy quintessential island living without the hassle of over-packing.
The cottage sits on a beautifully landscaped one-acre property with the main house. Bike or walk to South Beach for fun in the sun, big waves and stunning views. Collect shells along the shores of Lighthouse Beach or take the Chappy Ferry for a day on Chappaquiddick. A short 7-minute drive to State Beach offers calm waters and an iconic jump off Jaws Bridge! Or enjoy a lovely stroll along cobblestone streets for some shopping and sight-seeing in historic Edgartown. Once you’ve spent the day exploring, come back to Idle Hour Cottage for a relaxing cocktail on a large private deck before heading to one of the Island’s delectable restaurants… or stay “home” and lounge on the patio, enjoying the always-spectacular sunsets.
