Oak Bluffs - Quiet neighborhood

perfect for our needs

Perfectly situated!

Check-in was just as described and house was easy to find. Bill was easy to communicate with and allowed us to leave luggage early on the property (not in, to be clear!) so we could get to the beach. The house is quaint, completely functional and the location is great for biking and walking to OB, ten and twenty minutes respectively. The neighborhood is quiet and not far from Tony’s Market. Remember to rent your sheets and towels!

Easy check-in and convenient location. Peaceful and safe neighborhood.

First, I want to say Bill is easy to communicate with and is very quick at responding to texts. The house was easy to find with GPS and the neighborhood is gorgeous. Very quiet and safe (the side slider was left unlocked for us to enter). The back yard was my favorite part of the property. Cute wooden deck with covered gazebo, full size glass top patio table with 6 chairs(I think, maybe 8?). Big, beautiful green lawn with cute little bunnies that come out after dark. But, the inside of the house needs updating badly. Upon entering, there is a musty, dank smell that didn't fully go away our entire 3 day stay. The couch needs a good cleaning (or just replacing) due to the musty smell. The throw pillow were so bad I couldn't sit on the couch for very long. The kitchen cabinets are old, water damaged. The small closet where the garbage can is smells so bad I think it needs to be checked for mold. Only one kitchen towel in the kitchen. Speaking of towels... There are 7-10 beds in this house not one of them has bedsheets. No towels in the ONE bathroom. When I asked about this Bill quickly sent me the fine print which stated the rental does not come with bed sheets, pillow cases or bath towels. Fine. I didn't read the fine print, my bad. He then told me there is a family owned business on the Island that rents linens. For the money we paid I at least expected bed sheets and towels. We asked other locals if that is a thing MV renters do, NOT include bedsheets. They all said no.

We had a wonderful time! The house was just enough for us, especially the outdoor space!

This house was perfect for us. Grateful that Bill was able to accommodate us. It’s the perfect location in Oak Bluffs, a quick walk to Tony’s and a nice walk to the harbor. The rooms are spacious and with a little coordination the one bathroom was not a problem. The outside shower was a plus. The portable air conditioning kept the living room cool as a gathering spot. We also loved the outdoor space. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice property, cute backyard set up. Close to downtown OB and Tony's market for grocery needs. Second time staying here and would stay again

House is very outdated which wouldn’t be so bad if things were in decent shape and cleaned. The cabinets have extensive water damage. The moldings and baseboard are in need of paint and a scrub… Old mattresses in a upstairs bedroom closet… random pans shoved in the broom closet… dirty/ stained couch… hole for a crawl space just wide open up stairs….freezer has extensive rust… one positive was the shower was clean and there was great hot water and pressure… the other positive was the owner Bill was very responsive… he was there when we arrived and had just finished the “cleaning”…

We only had a short two day trip but definitely enjoyed the house. There were eight of us in the house plenty of room , everyone had their own beds .
