Mid-century rustic cottage charm tucked on 3 acres 1 mi to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven center's. Acquired in 1950 by Lisa's grandparents, the original style of this family heirloom has been lovingly preserved. Comfortable new furniture with vintage accents, lovely linens, memory foam mattresses, lots of outdoor space and privacy, and convenient location defines this property. Walk to beach and bus stop. Direct bike path access. Open living and dining area, with separate kitchen. A covered outdoor breezeway connects bedrooms, shower room and bathroom to the main living area. There's a screen porch, outdoor porch, patio, and huge yard. Property is set back 100 yards from the road. Plenty of parking. Lots of great amenities! Memory foam and coil mattresses, nice pillows, soft cotton sheets and comforters, and soft blankets make sleeping very comfortable. Lovely thick cotton towels. Smart HDTV with Roku live TV, Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV, Disney Plus, Hulu, Pandora, high speed wifi, outdoor gas grill, big picnic table, dishware, glassware, silverware, cutlery, cookware, lobster pot, microwave, coffee maker, blender, paper towels, dish soap, cleaning supplies, iron & ironing board, vacuum, hair dryer, toilet paper, hand soap, bath soap, shampoo, 6 beach chairs, cooler, 2 ocean kayaks, and ceiling and table fans, and efficient space heaters in each room. Most of our guests choose not to bring a car as the property is centrally located. Much within 1 mile, cabs readily available, bus stop nearby, direct bike path access from the property. Ferry reservations are required for vehicles. Other things to note: Seasonal rates apply, and some Jun to Sep weekend only stay dates may not be accepted. The property is located adjacent to the hospital. An 8 foot privacy fence tucked in the landscape separates the property. When Med Flight helicopters are called in to airlift critical emergencies the sound is very loud typically for average 2 - 3 minutes during landing and takeoff. Otherwise, the property is very quiet and relatively unaffected by its neighbor because only assisted living and doctor offices are on the side of the hospital closest to the property.

    The cottage was clean, full of charm, and in a central location to access the entire vineyard. It felt off the beaten path until we became more familiar with the island. Be sure to bring a small flashlight if you plan to arrive in the evening. Public transit was amazing once we took some time to navigate its function. Aquinnah is a must see!

    We had an amazing time staying here! The cottage is super cute and Lisa's recommendations for restaurants to try and beaches to visit were very helpful. There are also plenty of games, a great outdoor space, and 2 kayaks. A few helicopters landed at the hospital while we were here but they're in and out quickly and we didn't mind at all. Lisa couldn't have been a better host. We can't wait to come back!

    We couldn't have asked for a host that cared more about our comfort! Lisa went out of her way to ensure we had everything we need ... even going out and purchasing the best warm and fuzzy blankets, in anticipation of cool night temps. The house location is perfect !!! It's super close to town yet tucked away in a location that gives you a forest type feel. The house itself it very unique as is explained in description and other reviews. For our stay (four 40 age women on a girls trip) it's uniqueness was a welcomed experience, even the occasional helicopter landing just over our fence. The house is decorated with great taste that gives off a soothing beach vibe, the bed was actually more comfortable than mines at home, towels were hotel grade for sure, and the house was definitely clean. If you are an adventurous, nature lover, more relaxed type person ... this is definitely the spot for your island stay. Thanks again Lisa !

    Exactly as described. The layout is indeed uncommon but it worked great. The bedrooms are pleasant and the main section is good for relaxing and sleeping. There is no aie conditioning but the fans worked great even on the hottests days of August. Lisa was very responsive. We had an issue with propane for the gas grill and she took care of it immediately. The house is 3 minutes drive for Oak Bluffs and easy acces towards Edgartown or Chilmark. I would definitely recommend it.

    We stayed here in July with our infant daughter. The pictures showed that the place was basic and a bit older. We were not expecting fancy or a lot of amenities but we were expecting a basic level of cleanliness, upkeep, and that the house would be appropriate for our family. That was not the case. First and foremost none of the bedrooms connected to the main house or each other from the inside. You had to walk outside, to doors that did not lock from the inside, to get to the bedrooms. This doesn't work for families with young kids. We would not and did not leave our infant daughter in a room that is only accessed from outside and open to anyone. The bedrooms didn't connect to each other, the shower, or living room/kitchen. This you could not tell from the pictures and was not disclosed in the listing. For families with children this is important information and we would not have booked this property if we had known. The house itself was run down with holes in most screen windows and doors thereby letting bugs in. When we arrived there were ants everywhere. While they did come after a few days to put some stuff down to get rid of them we couldn't put our daughter down for fear of them crawling all over her. We had ant carcasses around the whole stay. The basic amenities such as soap were not provided. There was septic safe toilet paper but that was it. I've always been provided basics such as soap, paper towels etc. we also did not receive any information from the owner until the day before arrival and only upon prompting. Overall we were disappointed in the property and our experience with the owner. The island is great however.
