About this property

Close to town, beautifully updated

*** For stays between 9/1/2024 and 6/14/2025, Please inquire about a discounted cleaning rate***. Renovated Oak Bluffs home features 4 bedrooms and 2 full Baths. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and one mile to downtown Oak Bluffs, Beach, Steamship Authority, Restaurants, Shopping, and Night Life! We are 0.8 miles from Nancys’s restaurant and the harbor. Take a quick 15 minute (depending on your speed) walk to town or a 3 minute drive.

The entire home has been completely renovated inside and out. Red oak hardwood floors run throughout the upstairs. The split level floor plan features an upper level with a brand new fully equipped kitchen, top of the line stainless steel appliances, new cabinets and Quartz counter tops. The new refrigerator features in-door filtered water and ice. High ceilings compliment the fully equipped open kitchen, dining and living room along with a beautiful fireplace. Enjoy Sonos surround sound with bluetooth-controlled stereo. Lots of windows bring in the natural outside light.

There is a large deck off the living room for entertaining and barbecuing. Easily bring the outdoors in. A large dining table for outdoor dining as well as a comfortable patio lounge area make the deck as inviting as ever. A top of the line grill makes BBQ a breeze.

The living room features a custom built-in with large window seat. The upper level has one large mini-split to cool the entire great room.

Also, upstairs is the master bedroom suite with a luxurious king size bed featuring quality linens (included!) and a full bath with large shower. It also has its own mini split unit that is individually controlled.

Downstairs are the other three bedrooms, all with queen beds, as well as a second full bathroom and laundry room. All 3 lower level bedrooms have their own mini split AC unit.

The laundry room features a new washer and dryer, extra cabinets for food storage and a second refrigerator! Stock up on your way down to the island!

Quality bedding and towels (Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and more) are provided.

There is a patio off the first floor queen bedroom for extra outside sitting. Cozy up with coffee in your own little oasis.

Off the front porch is a large walk in outside shower. Make sure you take the time to shower under the Moon and Stars, not to mention after the day at the beach. The yard is beautifully landscaped and the front gardens add to the beauty of the neighborhood. Wonderful for relaxing.

Newly added for 2020- a propane fire pit and chairs to relax outside and enjoy the fire!

We provide 4 beach chairs, 8 beach towels, and a cooler.

This home comfortably sleeps eight.

Great house!

The house and location were perfect for our family vacation. The property allowed for privacy when we grilled and ate outdoors. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for preparing our meals and the rooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable. Communication with James was excellent. We would highly recommend this home!

Exceeded Expectations

This property exceeded our expectations! It was super clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated (took photos for ideas in my own home), quiet location, and had everything that we needed. We really loved the layout! Our late-night college sons and friends stayed on the lower floor while we were upstairs in bed by 10. Our family spent most nights sitting around the dining room table eating dinner together and playing board games. Loved that there were board games, puzzles and books to use even though we had brought our own…nice touch. Lots of happy memories created!

Easy check in. Owner is very responsive. Property is thoughtfully and comfortably furnished. They pay attention to details. We have rented many houses over the years and this is absolutely the best one overall. Quiet neighborhood. A 15 min walk to downtown Oak Bluffs. Convenient drive to either Oak Bluffs or Vineyard Haven ferries. Kitchen is very well equipped. Even had some spices. I cooked meals for 8 nightly and it was easy with a fully equipped kitchen.Comfortable beds. The master bedroom was very homey. Lots of amenities like a grill on the well furnished 2nd floor deck, a ground floor sitting area under the deck to escape the sun if you want. A nice outdoor shower next to the front door is great after fun at the beach. A large freestanding hammock and another sitting area afford this property many venues to relax. The yard is hemmed in with a wood fence and thick foliage on three plus sides gives privacy. They have boogie boards, beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler ( one large icepack in freezer), games, puzzles, books, some beach toys, beach towels. Though, parents of younger kids, bring toys and kid books. Our son in law liked it so much that he asked if we could rent it next summer! 5 stars to the owners!

Lovely, comfortable and pet friendly too!

We stayed in this beautiful home to celebrate my birthday with our daughter and son-in-law and both our doggies, who are best buddies. The house has all you need to relax and get away from it all for a bit. It was so comfortable and inviting and we all loved the peaceful setting, perfect for dog walks. We found it convenient to everything we wanted to do while we were on the island and will definitely consider returning for another Vineyard getaway!

I’m almost afraid to share this property.

It is such an amazing home and property that I’m almost afraid to let others know. But the owners do such an amazing job that I have to. It was hands down my best rental ever in 23 years of summer visits.

60th birthday vacation

We all enjoyed our stay at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked the only missing was pods for the coffee pot. One suggestion we have is better signage for the address. It was difficult to find along the trees and our Uber drivers had a hard time finding it.
