Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts
Location, location, location. This cozy 3 bedroom house is located steps from downtown on a family neighborhood side street. Stroll among the Gingerbread houses, or into town for groceries, dining and fun...or pack a tote and stroll to the end of our street to Inkwell beach. Everything is within an easy walking distance, including the ferry, playground, fishing pier, Flying Horses carousel, churches and shuttle buses that can take you around the island.
Transferable ferry reservations available to guests (at same price we paid) for certain weeks of the summer. However, everything is so handy, you might not need a car. If you do want your vehicle on the island, there is off-street parking for two cars in front of the house.
This quaint home features a living room with flat-screen TV, comfy sectional sofa, downstairs hardwood flooring, downstairs bathroom with shower, and 3 bedrooms and a small half bath upstairs. Queen bed in the master, double bed in the middle room, and 3 twins in the "kids' room". The kids' room also has a TV in case you need to find a space for them to go and entertain themselves while the adults unwind after a day on the beach. There's also a TV in the master bedroom. There's a private hot/cold outdoor shower off the back porch too. The back patio features a canopy in case it showers during your stay. BBQ on the private back patio or relax on the front porch and say Hi to the neighbors as they stroll by.
Window air conditioners and fans, but for those cooler spring/fall evenings, there is electric heat upstairs and down.
Perfect for a family or a romantic getaway. This is a weekly Saturday-Saturday rental property however 4 night minimum stays may be considered during during parts of the fall.
This gingerbread house is small but the kit hen was well equipped and the furniture comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom was also very comfortable. We didn’t use the other bedrooms. Our only problems were that my husband, who is tall, had to bend to get upstairs and through the doors upstairs. The other issue was where the laundry room was. Access is from the outside, down some concrete stairs and into a cobwebbed basement. Overall, though, we were happy there. The outside porch and patio were lovely and the grill was great. I would recommend to anyone under 5’10”.
We had a great time. Frank & his family were very communicative. We had plenty of room in the house. The patio in the back and the washer/dryer were huge pluses for us. My kids love the little balcony off their room.
The property is just as listed with easy to work with owners. The house is adorable and in the perfect spot! 5 enthusiastic stars!
The gingerbread cottage was close to shopping and restaurants yet fairly quiet. Having the beach at the end of the street was convenient. The house had everything we needed. The owners answered all our questions/concerns promptly. It was a pleasure to stay in a quaint cottage with some modern conveniences.
Our family had a great time at the Gingerbread Cottage. Walking distance to the park for the kids was a huge bonus. Close to downtown but not too close. We really enjoyed walking and exploring all the houses. Thank you Frank!
The house was lovely and equipped with everything we needed. Walking distance to lots of shopping & restaurants. Frank was so helpful in answering all of questions.
You can't beat the location. This was two steps away from the tranquility of the gingerbread cottages and also our favorite ice cream shops on Circuit Ave. The little front porch was a lovely place to enjoy our morning coffee while the kids played inside. Frank went out of his way to make sure we were happy and comfortable. Much appreciated.
Thanks, Frank and family, for sharing your wonderful Gingerbread home with us, and for your helpful information and attentiveness before and during our stay! We had a wonderful long weekend there over Memorial Day, and had a spectacular time. The location couldn't be better: a quiet street but in easy walking distance from everything in Oak Bluffs, and easy to get on our bikes to get to the bike trail, or walk across the street to enjoy exploring the houses at the Camp Meeting Association. The house had everything we needed, and the weather was nice enough that we could eat outside, enjoy some ice cream on the upstairs porch, and even use the outdoor shower. Thanks for calling to check in; it was perfect! And I always wanted to know what it's like to live in one of the great little houses at the Camp Meeting association, now I know! :)
We had a fabulous week in the Gingerbread cottage. Great location, adorable property. Comfortable with everything needed.
We had a great week. The Gingerbread House is convenient to the adorable Oak Bluffs. Convenient to getting around the entire island. The home is small but very efficient The owner was very attentive before our trip and got a nice welcome call which was lovely. I would return! Everything was comfortable and pristine!
