Savor the old-world charms of Oak Bluffs Cottage, an ideally situated Martha's Vineyard getaway with a two-level porch to enjoy quiet island mornings and evenings! Take advantage of the provided beach chairs as you spend fun summer days in the sun and come home from the beach to prepare meals for the whole family in the full kitchen, or opt for an outdoor barbecue with the provided grill, the spacious yard, and the shaded deck. Don't worry about the heat, as there are new ductless mini-split air-conditioning units in the common areas and all three bedrooms.

Fantastic cottage steps away from Circuit Ave, able to comfortably host our family party of 6. Few, if any, rentals in the area will give you more bang for your buck.

Walkable distance to the downtown area of oakbluffs and the gingerbread houses. Nice amount of space for 3 couples.

Close to town, 10 minute walk. Close to dock. Bring wheeled suitcase if you don't have a car. Comfortable cottage with everything you need including an outdoor shower.

Perfect location. Classy furnishings in the living area. Has everything you need in a compact space. We enjoyed making our own dinners. Washer-dryer came in very handy. Beds were a bit on the small side. But having 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths for our family of 4 was great

This house was the perfect spot for my group of 4 adults and 1 infant. The outdoor space was great and we got to enjoy it in the nicer weather. The space was nicely updated although we did have an appliance issue we were assured would be dealt with after checkout. A quick walk to all that downtown Oak Bluffs has to offer.

Everything about this place is great. The location, the house, the amenities (love the outdoor shower), the price, the maintenance. I really do love it. I've stayed here twice, and will probably stay here again. But I'd pay another $150/night if they replaced the mattresses. The beds in this house are not merely uncomfortable. They are uncomfortable to an almost intentional degree. My wife and I joked about picking up a mattress that was on the side of the road, marked "Free". I slept on the couch the last 3 nights so my wife could get actual rest. These are, with no exaggeration, the worst beds I've ever encountered in my life. They are unsleepably soft. We've had other guests with us both times we've visited, and they agreed with us. Literally any other mattress on earth would be better than these mattresses. They are horrible. But the house is great! Honestly, it is. As long as you don't really want to sleep comfortably. I will be back, because I like this house. But Jesus, those beds.

It was very cozy and comfortable to be downstairs and chatting in the living room or eating at the table. Upstairs had 3 very comfortable bedrooms and sufficient number of bathrooms. Since we were 3 people, it accomadated us very well.

This was the perfect place for a weekend away! Walkable to downtown Oak Bluffs and with a car it was easy to go everywhere else on the island. Everything about this place worked great for us! Only complaint was that the mattresses were not great.

This place is adorable! There were five cousins sharing the space and it was a perfect fit. Loved the location and the beauty of MV. I cannot wait to return. I will definitely use vacasa again. The access was easy, everything clean and easy to find. I had no surprises and that was great. I and my cuzzies had a wonderful stay. Shout out to Biscuits!

Although the house was in a good location the cleanliness of the house was an issue. The house had a swampy smell, dirty dishes left in the dishwasher from previous guests and the mattress cover had blood on it. There were broken blindss and the rugs were very dirty especially in the kitchen.

Amazing house for a vacation/weekend getaway! The house has everything you need and more, from beach chairs to a grill. Walk to everywhere in oak bluffs within 10 minutes. Great porches for hanging out late night or morning coffee. We will be back!

Excellent location! Clean! Previous owner (Mr. Gore) was a dream to work with! The TV and internet never worked. After repeat calls to Nicole and Leah they finally had someone fix it the night before we left. Leah did not want to talk about compensating me for the lack of services.

An easy walk to everything, we loved being able to put our kids to bed and go out for the evening without feeling far away. The house is cute and clean.

Upon arrival, the home looked like it may have be cleaned by the home owners, the microwave and oven were not clean, there was no “just cleaned” smell you usually get when renting. The showers all had hair in them, which was disgusting. None of the beds have side tables of lamps so if you’re looking to read or enjoy tea before bed, it’s more a comfy option. The stairs from the bedroom to the toilet in the adjoining bedrooms are a hazard. Furniture throughout the home felt cheap. Not worth the price the paid

What a wonderful home with easy access to all the down island activities! And such a bonus to be able to walk directly into Oak Bluffs for dinner and ice cream. The beds were comfortable and the home very clean. Look forward to coming back!

8/10

Good location Times for entrance and exiting were not good for the time of year we were there and they would not change them because of cleaning. Did not know what was included in the basic supplies. Nice 3 bedroom with 2 1/2 baths.
