About This Property
Welcome to Hennessey Cottage at 22 Plantingfield Wood Circle in Edgartown, MA. This charming cottage is located just half a mile from downtown Edgartown, one of the most beloved villages on Martha's Vineyard. It's a short walk to local restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. The cottage has a rich artistic history — painter Ray Ellis once lived and worked here, inspired by the island's unique light. You'll find his prints throughout the cottage along with coffee table books he created with Walter Cronkite. The property features four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, a studio loft with kitchenette, and wonderful outdoor spaces including a jacuzzi, screened-in back patio, fire pit, gas grill, and a spacious yard perfect for lawn games. Bikes are available in the garage for exploring the island.

Check-in and Check-out
Check-in
Contact Jackie at 401-743-9512 for the door code. To unlock: Press the symbol first, then enter the four-digit code. Note: The front door handle can be tricky — please make sure not to slam it. Pull the latch tightly when leaving. Back patio doors in kitchen: Close the door, then hold the handle up all the way to latch, lock, and unlock.
Check-out
Please strip sheets from all beds (just sheets and pillowcases). If you can, please make all the beds with clean sheets available in closets. You do NOT need to clean or remove the comforters. Place used sheets and towels on the laundry room floor — you do not need to wash anything. We just need everything ready for the next guest. You are welcome to do laundry during your visit but please do NOT run washer or dryer while gone. We will handle dirty linens- thanks. Please lock all doors. The last door to lock is the MAIN FRONT door using the symbol code.
