Great location, house has all you need

Ted was excellent with communicating with us, the house was comfortable and has a nice large family room that is a good separate space for kids to hang out. The neighborhood is nice, the short walk to the lagoon is a definite bonus. The only issue we had is the furniture is aging and could be updated. The dining room furniture in particular and the beds could be updated. But those things were pretty insignificant and are reflected in the fair price for a 4br home on the island. We had a great week and the location was very convenient.

Large house, central location - great for families

The house was spacious for 2 families of 4 (kids age range 9-17). The location is right between OB and VH so easy to either - although we preferred VH as it’s less crowded. We brought 2 cars and there was parking for both. Large family room to watch movies or play games. Large grill for cooking dinner for everyone. Great backyard to play bocce or washer toss (we brought). Ted was a great host - checked in to make sure e Ruth it was ok and was available via phone/text for questions. I would look forward to staying here again!

Great beach getaway

We enjoyed our stay at The Anchor Inn. There is plenty of room for a family of four to spread out. It’s a quick walk to a quaint spot on the lagoon and a quick drive to many great activities on the island. We ate many meals on the deck and took full advantage of the outdoor shower. Ted is very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend The Anchor Inn.

Excellent Stay!

Our large party had plenty of space to hang out and the location can’t be beat! The neighborhood was great for the kids to ride bikes and use chalk in the street and the layout of the home was comfortable for kids, teens, and adults alike. Ted checked in with us a couple times during the week which was thoughtful and caring. We had no issues with the process or the property; exactly as listed and expected. We will definitely consider the Anchor Inn for our future visits!

Great family vacation in August 2019 at this OB Home. .

We stayed in this home in August 2019 with our little family of 6. There is plenty of room with 4 air conditioned bedrooms upstairs. Enjoyed the outdoor deck area and being able to wash off with outdoor shower after a day at the beach. The home’s location is centrally located to OB’s main attractions as well as vineyard haven and Edgartown, not to mention seeing the susnset in the lagoon near the house. Owners are great to work with, quick responding to any questions we had.

Comfortable, large home convenient to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven

Our group of painters stayed at this very nice home right near the Lagoon in Oak Bluffs. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms with really comfy beds, a full bath upstairs and downstairs, a large, very well equipped kitchen, large dining table, wonderful living room with tv and fireplace, and a big family room adjacent. Also a big back porch and outdoor shower. It's in a residential area, so it's quiet in the evenings, yet very close to both Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven downtowns. The house was immaculate and fully equipped. It had EVERYTHING we needed to prepare our group breakfasts and evening critique sessions. For linens and towels we used Martha's Linens and we were very happy with the fresh white sheets and fluffy towels. Convenient and easy to arrange. The host, Ted, was so helpful, responsive and pleasant. Really couldn't ask for more. It had a wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate to rent this house again! Thanks Ted!

The location to friends, families and activities was perfect for our needs

For what we needed the house was ideal. Great location with nearby access to the lagoon and stores. There was plenty of space for the two families that shared the house and the two full baths with the additional outside shower was very useful at times. While as peaple have mentioned it's not a fancy modern home it was exactly what we needed and the family history in the house for me was interesting. The owner was extremely responsive to answer questions or provide any information we needed. He offered to fix the slider door which was tight but we decided we could live with it. The mouring location is also right down the street in the lagoon so if you have a boat it is a very convenient location. I would definately consider staying there again.

Affordable Stay in MV

I would rate this house a 3.5 out of 5, since there are no half stars I rounded up to a 4. Although this was not my first pick for a house on Martha's Vineyard, this house is very affordable for a trip to the island. My friends and I spent most of our time outdoors exploring the island and stayed indoors during the evenings to relax. The house is between two towns and close to a few bus stops for traveling. Kitchen comes equipped with cooking instruments, utensils, plates, and cups so we were able to cook a few meals. The family room is a very comfortable setting that fits many people, has a large TV, and table to play board games on. I took off one and a half stars only because the bedrooms and beds are small and we had a bug problem one of the nights. But for the price you're paying it is reasonable.

Great location close to Vineyard Haven and down town Oaks Bluff

Although the house is a little dated from the 70's it is cozy and clean . It is priced accordingly so it is worth the stay, we will be back but probably bring our own linnens I didn't find the value in the linen service (over priced for basic linnen
