We greatly enjoyed this lovely, clean, comfortable, and well kept house. It is in a very quiet neighborhood, surrounded by trees. Jan and his wife are quute welcoming.
Jan was very friendly, greeted us when we arrived. Lovely quite location and very comfortable beds. We only stayed one night due to other plans, was very quite and restful.

Dear AnnMarie, thank you for your review.
I would like to further respond to your concerns, that you called yourself “small things”, that made you give only 4 out of 5 stars.
First, I am sorry that you disliked an old lamp in the house.
Second, I am sorry that you found instructions in the house “little less than relaxing.” Through out the years I heard from other guests that they found them helpful.
Even though I know that it is impossible to satisfy everybody’s expectations, but please know that I appreciate your feedback and I take it seriously for improving my hosting services. Thank you!
Have a wonderful rest of your summer,
Jan
Jan and his family were delightful hosts. We loved the convenience and well stocked home. We have stayed in MANY places over our 35 years coming to MV in July and this was superb. We hope to return soon!
Our experience was stellar! The home was clean and very surprisingly spacious! Jan was very informative and helpful. I also recommend taking advantage of his therapeutic spa services during your visit! We will definitely be staying again.
No shops nearby it's in a lovely wooded area but Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs is not far away and the place is so central. It wasn't a problem. For your first night buy ahead. The host was very friendly and the place super clean. My only small comment would be that I could have done with more lighting in the main bedroom and also a mirror in the bedroom. Otherwise everything we needed was provided.A very enjoyable stay.
Listed as a 2 bathroom but was a 1 bathroom with an outdoor shower. Also the outdoors needed to be cleaned up - it was over grown and weedy. The inside of the place and the neighborhood was nice.
We enjoyed our stay at Jan's place in Oak Bluffs immensely. It was in the perfect location, equidistant to Vineyard Haven, OB, and Edgartown. The beds were super comfortable and there was good enough space for a single family of 4. Laundry facilities made it super easy to stay on top of beach towels, etc.
We had a small problem with the towels provided but Jan quickly responded with new towels. Of note, the property has a split a/c in the living room and fans in the remaining spaces. The bedrooms are not "air conditioned" specifically, but there is excellent air circulation and everyone in our party was comfortable with fans, if needed.
We felt very welcomed by the Host and would stay here again.
The place was clean , organized, and had a healing presence. I took advantage of Jan's healing hands work and it enhanced my stay. Listen to him, when he recommends that you should have a car. The bus does come up often, but if you are from the suburbs and are not used to busing that could be an interesting adventure. Overall, I would stay again. It is close to everything but you still get your relaxing time..
This was a perfect spot for 2 couples visiting the island. We came to play golf at Farm neck. The house was convenient to Oak bluffs and the Golf course.
The property had everything we needed and was very clean. Jan was very responsive and great to deal with. We discovered some great hiking trails close by too. We hope to retrun.

Great location, could use some updating & amenities
The house was a great landing spot for a weekend when we didn't plan on spending too much time in our rental. The location is super central and convenient to everything and the host was super responsive during our entire stay. Our primary complaint is that the bathroom of the unit was run down and in need of necessary updates and replacements, as was some of the furniture throughout. The unit also lacked towels and pillows.

Dear Katherine,
Thank you for your review that will help me to address the issue of communication. Most of the time it goes down to communication. I wish I would learn about your concerns sooner then now. To assure a pleasant and comfortable stay, I always contact my guests three times (right after booking, few days before their arrival and then the first day of their stay) with instructions and encouragement to contact me with any questions, or concerns. I reached out to you the same way, but only received you response, that "All is great!" If you would only let me know about your concerns, I would easily navigate you to the cabinets @ the house, where you could find more towels and pillows…there are plenty of those easily accessible in the house.
I would also appreciate if you would share more with me about the bathroom and furniture, since you are the very first person to mention anything about this after the whole house was repainted and remodeled.
I hope this response will help us both.
Thank you and have wonderful Holidays,
Jan
This apartment is gorgeous. The open plan, living, dining room, and kitchen are lined with sun-drenched windows. The place is incredibly comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are fully outfitted with great attention to detail - you will need nothing.
There are two bedrooms, with one queen sized bed in each. The mattresses are firm (I loved it but if you don't like firm be aware of it!). The sofa is big enough to accommodate a sleeper also if needed.
The heating system worked well, took us a few minutes to figure it out. It is a little confusing that there is a gorgeous wood stove in the living room but you cannot use it - we didn't need it for heat though. We were there in November, so we did not use the deck or outside. It looked nice though with a grill available for your use.
The location is just off the town border with Vineyard Haven/Tisbury, in an unpaved development so it is not really, walkable for getting into town etc. having a car available is needed if you plan on touring a lot. There is a driveway for you to park in.
This is not a rental for having parties etc. - it is a quiet neighborhood with your landlord living below you - so set your expectations. It exceeded ours and we hope to return again soon.
Nice central location on quiet street surrounded by similar homes 5 min from Vineyard Haven ferry. Very comfy beds and everything you need to enjoy your stay.
Jan was a fabulous host so kind and caring always helpful with everything. He is a kind caring soft spoken gentleman with a heart of gold. You will love it there .

We decided late in the high season to book a trip in state. We found Jan's place to be the perfect retreat for our getaway. We brought a family of 5 for our first Martha's Vineyard vacation, and had the best time. The rental was well equipped and clean. Jan was very accomodating. We had everything we needed, and it was an excellent location in our opinion. It was a short drive to Edgartown and a stone's throw from Vineyard Haven center. Thank you, Jan!

About the host
Hosted by Jan
I have lived on Martha's Vineyard for 10 years now. I love the people here, the pace and the wonders of nature. It is a very special place to me. I enjoy archery, paddle-boarding, playing bamboo flutes and fujaras. When I travel, I prefer a home-like accommodation. I am proudly offering the same to you, my guests. In all I am and do, I seek truth, joy and peace.
