Renovated in 2022, The Panola House is tucked away on a private expansive lot with its own roundabout driveway. The property offers a chance to enjoy your time in the Vineyard with family and friends in a private setting, and a short walk away from the action. Walk to the center of Oak Bluffs and to the OB Ferry. (The scenic 15 minute walk brings you to the Historic Campgrounds, right behind the center of Downtown OB and Circuit Avenue.) the beach is less than a 10-minute walk from there, unless your plan is to stop for ice cream :)

Each location above is accessible by bike, 7-8 minutes, and car in less than 10 minutes.

The 1st floor has 1,500 sq. ft of living space with an additional 1,500 in the finished lower level, perfect for family time, children, teenagers and adults. There is a 65 inch TV that connects to Sling TV, Netflix, and other media providers. The lower level is great for media & entertainment, board games, and movies.

The lower level also has a pullout full-sized bed and a 1/2 bathroom in addition to the three bedrooms on the 1st floor. Central A/C throughout the house (installed in 2022).

The outdoor landscape/ grounds, front and rear decks, are surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees which provide tranquility and privacy. There is a gas outdoor grill on the rear deck and outdoor shower.

As 5-Star VRBO hosts since 2013, we welcome families and friends, many of whom return annually. We look forward to sharing our own home away from home with wonderful families and guests.

1.  Explore the Gingerbread Cottages (0.5 miles, ~10-minute walk)
Visit the iconic Campground Cottages in the Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting
Association area. These colorful, Victorian-style cottages are a hallmark of Oak
Bluffs. Join a guided tour (check mvmuseum.org for schedules) or wander the
streets like Trinity Park to soak in the charm. Evening illumination events, if
scheduled, are a treat.

2.  Relax at Inkwell Beach (0.7 miles, ~12-minute walk)
This popular beach, named for its historic significance to African American visitors,
is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or a beach picnic. It’s family-friendly with calm

waters and lifeguards in season. Bring a book or frisbee for a laid-back day.
3.  Stroll Circuit Avenue (0.6 miles, ~10-minute walk)
The heart of Oak Bluffs, Circuit Avenue, is lined with quirky shops, ice cream
parlors, and galleries. Check out Craftworks for local art or grab a souvenir at Island Outfitters. It’s great for evening walks when the area buzzes with live music or street performers.

4.  Visit the Flying Horses Carousel (0.7 miles, ~12-minute walk)
The oldest operating platform carousel in the U.S., located on Lake Avenue, is a
must for families or nostalgia seekers. Try grabbing the brass ring for a free ride.
Open daily in summer, hours vary (check flyinghorsescarousel.com).

5.  Ocean Park and Bandstand (0.8 miles, ~15-minute walk)
This scenic park hosts concerts and events in summer, with sweeping views of
Nantucket Sound. Pack a picnic or join locals for a sunset stroll.
Check oakbluffsma.gov for event schedules.

Best regards,
Jason

    What an amazing place in Oak Bluffs! Jason was an incredibly attentive host, and the house is so spacious while being beautifully decorated. The walk to the nearest beach is about 20 minutes, but that is easily handled by one of the bikes left for guests to use (as well as beach chairs and umbrellas). Just something to keep in mind when traveling with those that may be less mobile!So many nice touches all around (beach towels, chargers, area maps, board games, etc). Highly recommend!

    What a beautiful home and location! The pictures are spot-on and the location was serene and quiet. There were some issues with the lawn irrigation system noise impacting my sleep but, after 2 nights, most of it was resolved. Jason was extremely responsive from both a communication as well as a solution perspective. Lots of space for friends and family to spread out in while also being so close to the center of Oak Bluffs.

    This a beautiful property that would be ideal for a large family or a group of friends. Bedding is great and the host was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. This was one of the best properties we have stayed in while using VRBO.

    This home is exceptional! All of the details have been taken care of from cleanliness to comfort to entertainment and landscaping. The spacious deck was perfect for having breakfast and watching the wild turkeys pass by. The front porch was ideal for afternoon reading and napping. The house feels light and airy and the dual thermostats and basement air conditioner kept everyone happy. We also utilized the built-in wireless speaker system to play music throughout the house. We were even able to store our 4 bikes in the spacious shed (which also contained 4 bikes and beach supplies). It was easy to bike anywhere and to walk into Oak Bluffs and Inkwell Beach. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we made many wonderful memories there!

    Beautiful property- set back from the street down a quaint road in the woods, yet has an impeccable yard and open feel with round about driveway paved with shells. Home is in immaculate condition and well stocked It is a bit of a trek to town but the walking trail there is gorgeous and easy to hit steps each day Very helpful host who made us feel at home and clearly prioritizes the guests’ experience Anyone who wants to stay in Oak Bluffs area should surely consider this propertyq

    My family of five (three kids - 15, 12 and 9) stayed here for a week and it was perfect for us. It was incredibly clean with enough space for all. We loved the location - great for walks or bike rides. The owner was very responsive and helpful (and even set up our roundtrip ferry for us). Plenty of beach chairs, towels etc. so everything was very convenient. We hope to come back in the future!

    Jason is a terrific host! The home is better in person than advertised. It was the perfect amount of space for our family and friends and has all necessary amenities and tools for fabulous cooking and entertaining. And the backyard is gorgeous! I will be back!

    My husband and I stayed here with our 3 kids ranging in ages 16-infant. We really enjoyed the privacy of the lot this beautiful house is on. The house had everything we needed and there was more than enough room for us. Jason is a great host and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. We would love to come back some day.
