About Edgartown Residence Club
The Edgartown Residence Club is a private residence club offering fractional real estate overlooking Edgartown harbor on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.
The Vineyard, as it is often called, is an exquisite island off Cape Cod, MA, cherished for its beautiful beaches, quaint towns and rolling farmland.
Historic Edgartown
From its location in the heart of historic Edgartown, the Edgartown Residence Club offers beautifully appointed one- and two-bedroom suites, with all amenities. Only six residences are available for a total of no more than 72 owner families.
Just step out your front door and you are in the heart of Edgartown, known for its whaling history and elegant shops, fine dining and close proximity to beaches, art galleries and shopping.
Worry-Free Vacation
One of the key benefits of ownership at Edgartown Residence Club is that you are without the traditional chores of home ownership and can enjoy the way a vacation is supposed to be. Everything is taken care of, right down to having a car provided on-island so you don’t have to worry about automobile reservations for the island ferry.
From your window of your condominium you can look out onto Edgartown harbor. Edgartown has a long history as a seaside town. From a port for whaling ships in the 1800s to the host of beautiful white sandy beaches, elegant shops and sailing regattas today, Edgartown is a place for those who love the ocean.

Nearby Golf
Tashmoo Woods is located directly adjacent to Mink Meadows Golf Club, a nine-hole, semi-private course. It was designed and constructed in 1936 by Wayne Stiles and enjoys a wide and loyal following. Non-members can make tee times two days in advance.
Measuring 3,078 yards on the front nine and 3,139 on the back, the course challenges golfers with its rolling terrain and rewards them equally with ocean views over Vineyard Sound to Woods Hole and the Elizabeth Islands.
Mink Meadows also features Osprey and hawks that regularly nest in the woods bordering the course. Deer and other wildlife sightings are a common occurrence. Send more more information on Tashmoo Woods!
