Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts
Small beachfront cottage; back deck is right on the water and the front door is on Beach Rd. where you can flag down a bus or ride or walk to Vineyard Haven (1 mile) or Oak Bluffs (2 miles). Unbelievable sunsets. Games. 3 bedrooms upstairs: The Master bedroom is a "queen-short"; other ocean side bedroom has a double bed; the roadside room has two twins. You don't even need to bring a car! If a family member can't do stairs, the couch opens up and the full bath is on the first floor. Watch parasailers and ferries and fishermen, walk up the beach to the jetty, rent bikes, explore the island. Or just stay home and read on the deck. Wifi, grill, TV. So relaxing at the house. In the family for many years and we rent it out when we are not there. There's a great Film Society less than a mile away with nightly good movies. Don't rent this house if you want modern Pottery Barn feel; it is small, old-fashioned, and simple.
My friend and I spent a week. The weather was not the best but we still enjoyed watching the ferries, sailboats and yachts go by. The location was great and the deck was wonderful. The inside is as described and could use some TLC but it had everything we needed. Franny was a good host and communicated as needed.
Amazing sunsets ! perfect setup for my daughter and disabled father can sit on the back porch and enjoy time with the family while we play on the beach and enjoy the sunshine . The host is wonderful and quick to respond . Old vineyard charm
Nice little house right on the water, easy access to oak bluffs and vineyard haven. Responsive host!
Porch was a fav by all
The cottage reminded us of our family's 1930's vintage lake cottage. It brought back special memories for us. It was perfectly located for all that we wanted to see and do on Martha's Vineyard. For us, being away from the congestion of summer tourists in Edgartown was a definite plus. It is a five-minute drive from downtown Vineyard Haven where we found cute shops and great restaurants. The views of the harbor were wonderful. Literally, the cottage was feet from the bay.
Great location. Good view of the water from backyard. Very responsive host to questions. Would highly recommend this property for staying while visiting the Vineyard.
This year was our 5th stay at this wonderful little cottage. Our week here is one of the things that everyone in our family looks forward to all year long! We had a great time (as always!) With how busy life can be, this is truly the perfect ‘escape’ for us! It’s in a perfect location, right between Vineyard Haven & Oak Bluffs so you’re minutes away from both. We love exploring new parts of the island as well as being able to unplug from much of the day to day, and just sit out on the deck, grill, play games, and enjoy our private little stretch of beach. The house is always clean and stocked with the essentials. And Franny is so nice and helpful, should anything ever be needed. Sitting out on the deck in the evening is one of the nicest sunsets we’ve seen! Thank you again for letting us share these incredible memories!
Great time
We loved our stay . It was perfect for my father who is disabled since he could sit right on the back porch and watch his grandkids play on the beach . Beautiful sunsets
We had a great stay. Location couldn't be better, host is wonderful, the spot was just right for us!
We loved Franny's property! It was a perfect cottage for our family! The beach out front had the most amazing sunsets and the cove behind the house was my kiddos favorite place to play during our stay. It was a great location - close to both downtown VH and OB. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Frannie was great with communication and made every just so easy. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you Franny!!!
We had a really nice time on the island. The house was just what we expected with a beautiful view. Franny was very helpful and we loved the little touches that were added to the house to make us feel welcome.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property which we rented so that we could attend a wedding. It was a perfect location just outside of town with beautiful beach views of the ferries and boats that traveled the sound. Frannie was the perfect host and always responded promptly when we had a question. The cottage is small yet it fits 6 comfortably and is well equipped for preparing meals. The deck has ample seating for those nice weather days. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.
The cottage was exactly as described. Perfect location. Beautiful to hang out and hear the waves crash and the sunset. Easy walk into town. Great new washer and dryer as well as stove. We loved it and we hope to return ❤️
As Frances clearly states, this is NOT a fancy property. It is, however, clean and stocked with everything you need. The deck and views are incredible and if you like to spend a lot of time outdoors, then this is the place for you. We slept with the windows open and it was wonderful to have the waves lull you to sleep and wake you up in the morning. Communication and response to questions was prompt. This was my retirement trip and when we arrived Frances had left me a nice note and some candy congratulating me on my retirement, What a sweet gesture.
This was our 4th time staying at this wonderful little cottage. I really can’t say enough nice things about it and Franny! The house is clean and always stocked with the essentials. Open the window to the ocean, fall asleep to the waves or see some of the nicest sunsets. It’s in a perfect location, right between Vineyard Haven & Oak Bluffs so you’re minutes away from both. Easy to check out the island or just stay home and enjoy your own private stretch of beach just off the deck. Nothing like grilling on the deck while the kids play on the beach just steps away. Our week at the cottage is truly one of our favorite weeks of the year. And Franny is always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Our yearly trip to MV and stay at the cottage is one of the things that everyone in our family looks forward to all year long!
