Edgartown Condo, $299K? Yes, But ...

You only get it for 1/12 of the year: two weeks in August "plus two flexible weeks," according to the listing.

How many hearts have leaped at this listing on AOL Real Estate

It's a condo, with no maintenance costs, in the heart of historic downtown Edgartown, a block from the water and within walking distance of beaches.

But if you seek year-round ownership, advise your heart to be still: This is a fractional offering that allows the buyer access to the property for just four weeks out of the year.
