We enjoyed our stay! It was a great, clean space with plenty of room for our family. Location was ideal, located between Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven.
This home is in a great location—nestled perfectly between oak bluffs and vineyard haven. Plenty of outdoor space for families to relax and enjoy. The Bowers family is incredibly responsive and kind. Look Forward to staying here again.
My family (grandparents, parents, and children) stayed here. It's a great place for kids because they have such a big yard to play in. While the streets are busy near the house there are trails that make it easy and safe to walk to Vineyard Haven. It seems like the bike trail extension will go right past the house, which will make this property even more of a wonderful stay. If you are a person who likes everything new and updated (bathrooms/kitchen), then this isn't the place for you. But if you are a lover of old houses, this is the perfect fit. Everything worked well, and we found there were plenty of showers (3!!! plus a tub upstairs). A great property. And the porch is just amazing.
Quite positive
Nicely furnished, large deck for outdoor dining, didn’t use but outdoor games for kids and conveniently located.
Home has a large yard and amazing porch and it is little kid walking distance to a small beach. It is not the spot for adults to entertain other adults inside - but a family with children who like to play outside will find everything they need.
My friends and I loved staying at Eventide even though the house is fairly rustic and probably needs some updates. But if you don't mind the age, you can really enjoy the charms of the home, which includes a massive wrap-around porch, and a great location, only a short drive to Oak Bluffs, but still far enough from crowds that it's relaxing and serene. Just be careful getting in and out of the shower on the first floor and you'll do great!
We enjoyed our stay at Eventide and Martha’s Vineyard. Rooms were very comfortable, plenty of closet space given the age of the property and ample storage, wonderful yard with lots of space for games. The porch was a perfect place to read, have coffee, outdoor meals, nap, whatever you like. Dana and Tina were friendly and accessible for any questions we had. The road does gets a bit loud but the air conditioning drowns out a lot. Good location- not too far nor too close to the action of Oak Bluffs. Quick walk to small beach and about 15-20 min walk to Vineyard Haven. Thank you Dana and Tina!
Overall the house was very good. The yard and porch were fantastic; it's where we spent a majority of our time when there. The kitchen was small with little counter space but we made do and the living room was great. Bedrooms upstairs were a good size. We did wish there was a shower in the upstairs bathroom though. It's big enough! We ended up taking all of our showers in the outside shower which was nice anyway (if a bit narrow). We really enjoyed sitting outside on the fabulous porch at night but one thing that we never quite got used to was the very loud and busy intersection where the house is located. Still it was a very enjoyable stay.
The property was great with nice big yard for games. The kitchen had little counter space but it we worked around that. The front porch was amazing for sitting down for dinner and after a long day at the beach. Everything was very clean and the cottage feel of the decor is exactly what the Vineyard is about.
