Our family has stayed here many times over the years, but after this recent interaction, we won't be coming back. We booked a stay for next year, received a confirmation email, and had a deposit withdrawn from our account -- only to have the deposit refunded days later without any communication whatsoever. When I called to find out what happened, Julia told me there was a "website issue" and that we never should've been able to book because next year's rates haven't been set yet. This directly contradicted the confirmation email, which clearly stated our rate was locked in. When I asked if they could honor the confirmed rate -- a basic standard in most reputable businesses -- Julia became defensive and irate. She told me, verbatim, that if I thought she was a terrible business owner, I probably shouldn't stay there. She was rude, condescending, and completely dismissive. Julia may claim the business has "integrity" and a long history on the island, but it's clear the current management does not reflect those values. This place might have had a good reputation in the past, but it's absolutely not the same under her leadership. A hospitality business with no regard for basic courtesy or professionalism is one to steer clear of.

The worst problem was that the AC was Not working. Oh my. But, we called Larysa at the office and she was so, so, so helpful.

Larysa also left us a great greeting basket filled with coffee, pickles, snacks, bread, all kind of things. She took care of a couple of minor things that we needed and stayed in touch with us during the whole week. Bravo. We'll be back next year leasing a property from Seacoast.

We booked property #718 located at 60 Old Purchase Rd almost nine months ago. We are a young family of 5, three children six years and younger, that has to put in a lot of time for planning and frankly saving for a trip like this. When we arrived we knew we were in for a long week ahead. The house was a complete beat up, run down, tired mess. We arrived to a house with no hand soap, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels, useable pillows, mixing bowls, Saran Wrap/tin foil/ziploc bags, trash bags, cutting boards, missing furniture, do I dare continue? We let the broker Paula know how upset we were and frankly there was no sympathy nor help offered. Someone dropped off two pillows, but that's where the help ended. We notified the company of a towel rack ripped off the wall and that wasn't rectified either. We were supposed to be at the house to have the caretaker access and fix the damage, but we hated the house so much we were out the door at 10AM and didn't dare come home before 5PM. We weren't going to be coordinating someone to fix damage we didn't do during our vacation. At the end of the day, all we needed was somewhere comfortable to put our feet up or a good night's sleep, but that wasn't even possible with the conditions of the mattresses and the couch and chairs. We love the beauty of this island that we have been visiting for nearly 7 years, but this last trip might be the last for a while.

Do NOT recommend dealing with Sandpiper. I booked a Katama beach rental house through them that was…read morefalsely advertised online -- condition was very rundown and it had a pretty gross bug problem. I needed to spend several hours of our family's summer vacation cleaning the house myself. When we sent through photos/videos of the condition to our Sandpiper rental agent Judy Murray, she agreed that it was unacceptable and that we should look for alternate accommodations, even offering to help. Judy confirmed in writing that "the owner would refund our money." Therefore, we booked last-minute accommodations for the back half of our stay and moved out of the house. Afterwards, we were refunded for 15% of our stay with no explanation. Then, they went radio silent on us. Judy was totally pleasant to us throughout the process, but in the end, she didn't keep her word and didn't take accountability. DO NOT USE SANDPIPER and definitely do not book 19 Navy Way in Edgartown.

Museum-Quality Construction Work in the Edgartown Historic District…read more I postponed replacing my 30-year-old windows because I could not find a contractor familiar with local historic district building requirements that would consider taking on a small job like mine (15 windows). Our house is not historic, but we still need contractors to adhere to local historic and building department rules. A friend recommended David Parent at Shoreline Management. The first thing I did was to check out the online reviews for Shoreline and David Parent. The reviews made it clear that David was familiar with local regulations and is trusted by local historic and building officials. I also called both of the Andersen Window dealers on MV (they know -every- contractor). Both dealers were very familiar with David and Shoreline Management and were eager to mention that they enjoyed working with him on projects both big and small. Even though I was 500 miles away, David and I found the right kind of windows, working through dozens of choices and hundreds of options. We discovered that adding an inexpensive Andersen SmartSun coating made my windows eligible for an "Energy Star Rating" (and a small tax credit). David documented everything in a way that I could understand and he made sure that the ordered windows were exactly what we selected. This attention to detail is important when juggling multiple revisions and finally ordering custom windows that can't be returned. Also, note that construction material logistics is a VERY big challenge on Marthas Vineyard--everything arrives by ferry. Good contractors, like David Parent have close relationships with local suppliers to track arrival dates so that work crews can be organized upon arrival. Shoreline contacted me about the installation date, which was a couple of days after the windows arrived in MV. Weeks before, David planned our window install around my Tile contractor's schedule to make sure they both could work inside the house, right before the July 4 holiday. On the very first day of the job, David showed up with 7 carpenters. During every day he was here, 7-9 people were working for at least 8 hours per day. (Several neighbors called to ask how I was able to get so many carpenters working in Edgartown at the same time, especially in July!) Not only is this full staffing more efficient, it gave David Parent more time for quality control. I have seen other contractors struggling to juggle multiple concurrent client jobs that result in understaffed crews that need 3-6 weeks to complete their work. Speaking of quality, Shoreline noticed that one of the new wooden frames was cracked when they opened the undamaged window packaging. Now, this crack -could- have possibly been repaired (glued, repainted) but David immediately rejected the window and had a replacement "rush ordered" to our home. The next month, David's crew showed up with the new window and spent 20 minutes unloading a van of full of specialty tools and saws. They used two different lasers to align the window perfectly. Shoreline's carpenters Gustavo and Lucas are master craftsmen with an eye for detail. You really should be home when you decide to replace all the windows in your house. However, David made sure to us send photos and videos of the work-in-progress (some contractors hate doing this). I could see that David's window carpenters were very experienced--you don't want new trainees installing $1,000 windows. At the end of the project, David sent very long videos showing both the inside and outside of each window install to demonstrate that the job site was cleaned up. Anyone planning construction projects in Edgartown should talk to David Parent. I am glad I did.
