Good location and reasonable price

The listing was very accurate so be sure to read the details about the home and the requirements. It is an older home with some planned upgrades. You find everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of space for dining and relaxing. The location was perfect, very close to ferry and shopping and dining. The owner and agent were very good with communication and left numbers in case we needed anything during our stay. Hopefully you will get good weather (we had 4 days of rain) and you will spend the majority of your time outside! For us, we enjoyed the space, some good games and movies and found it a comfortable place to stay dry!!

Indian Summer on The Vineyard

We had a fabulous time in this great house exuding the character of The Vineyard. The house is warm and inviting, the furnishings comfortable, the location convenient (and walkable) and everything you need is already there. We enjoyed breakfast on the front porch in the rocking chairs and evenings on the back porch under the stars. We even had a few turkeys trot through one day. Wonderful home - would definately stay here again.

Very enjoyable stay

The owner was great and very communicative. The house location was great. We enjoyed our morning walk to the Main Street for coffee and such. The house was what you’d expect on the island…old but cute. Everything was as described and the owners food recommendations were spot on. Only wish there was a bathroom on the second floor but that’s an old house for you! Wonderful stay and vacation!.

Delightful stay for a family of 6, including 4 kids ages 7 to 13

The location of the property is ideal - walkable to many excellent shops, stores, and dining options. There are many great spaces to convene, including the porch, a back patio with table and chairs, kitchen table, dining table, and living room. The property owners are very responsive and thoughtful. Checking in and out was a breeze.

Amazing location and cozy

This was our first trip to Martha's Vineyard. I recommend this rental. The location is excellent, within walking distance of many restaurants, shops, and the Vineyard Haven ferry. Oak Bluffs and Edgartown are short 10 minute drives away. The rental is cozy and the beds were comfortable. Nothing is fancy -- it's a beach cottage -- so as long as that's what you want, you'll be happy. Note that the staircase is very narrow and the only bathroom is downstairs. That would make me nervous to rent if I had kids younger than 4-5, or anyone with mobility challenges. The property manager and owner are both very friendly and communicate actively. Thanks!

Great stay in a good spot

Well equipped home, updated kitchen. Bathroom on main floor is a tad inconvenient for upstairs bedrooms. Outdoor shower was amazing and wonderful. There’s a table and chairs in the attached shed/closet that we used to add seating to the deck which worked well. I bet there was a way to use speakers outside but I didn’t see it - that would have been awesome. Some little holes that could be sealed up in kitchen. Overall excellent!

We enjoyed our stay in this property. It was great to be able to walk to downtown Vineyard Haven and not worry about finding a parking spot. The big dining room table was a plus for us because we brought and played lots of board games. The outdoor shower was a morning treat!

Nice older house in great location

Loved the walking distance to town, great back deck and outdoor shower, the kitchen was stocked with everything we could need. The owner and rental agent were very responsive when we thought we left an item behind. We are not used to no central air but the rooms have AC units and cooled quickly. The beds were very comfortable.

Perfect little getaway close to it all!

This adorable home was perfect for our family of 5 (including our 3 teenage boys) for a long weekend stay. There were plenty of very comfy clean beds for all of us and the house had everything we needed. While we did not have meals at home, if we did cook we definitely would have had everything we needed, including spices! The Keurig coffee machine was perfect so that we could enjoy a cup out on the adorable peaceful porch in the morning before walking down into town for breakfast. The weather was not overly hot while we were there but on one particularly warm night, the fans and AC in the rooms cooled things off nicely. The boys threw a football around in the yard when we weren't out sightseeing which was great to get them off screens, so the yard alone was fantastic! :) On one rainy evening we enjoyed a family movie with the TV and available streaming apps. We were there for a long weekend for a wedding but definitely would recommend this house for a week-long trip and hope to go again. The house is on a quiet street but still close enough to walk to town which we did quite a bit. Unless you have physical limitations that would make the stairs an issue I don't think they should be a factor as other reviews may have stated. It's par for the course in a quaint older home and the amount of time we were upstairs was just to sleep. Whether you are out and about around the island or taking the time to enjoy the beautiful, private yard/deck area I HIGHLY recommend it!!

Not what I expected.

The good, the eh, the ugly. I hesitate to share bad info on a rental. There was both good and bad here … and everyone has different standards and needs. This place may be perfectly acceptable to some. We were highly encouraged to stay out and explore everything the island has to offer. Let me start with the good. The location is super convenient. You can walk to downtown. The outdoor shower is really great! We literally only showered outside - it was much nicer than the shower inside and there is something special about showering under the blue skies. The outdoor spaces are nice. There is a deck, a good yard space and a grill. The backyard table is lovely for dinner. There are beach supplies like chairs, blankets, umbrella available to use. There is also off street parking which is a hot commodity. There is a Keurig and all the appliances that we used worked well. The eh …. I expected an old building. I expected a well loved beach house vibe. I did not expect such limited places to put our belongings. It’s a good thing we didn’t pack much. All the closets, cabinets and dressers were packed to the gills. Think junk drawer times 20. To be fair/ there were a couple of dresser drawers with some space to put some clothes. It just would have been nice to have a few additional free spaces to put our things. I had planned on washing clothes on our trip. I decided not to because the washing machine available is a portable unit that you have to pull out of the closet and set up in the bathroom using the sink and the tub. I’m sure it isn’t difficult but it seemed annoying and time consuming for one or two loads of swimsuits. Just be aware of that and plan accordingly. The ugly …. Old houses are lovely and charming but need constant maintenance. Unfortunately this house has not been constantly maintained. There are rotting thresholds, rotting window casements, “mouse holes” in the walls, mold under the sink, mold in the ac unit etc. We had a mouse leave us some presents and ants come up through the kitchen sink. Watching a mouse scurry through the house was not what we expected. The beds are not comfortable. I am pretty sure one of the box springs has been eaten by mice. The stairs are terrifyingly steep and narrow which was a bit of a stressor since we have kids who sleep walk. There was either blood or red paint all over the wall over one of the beds. We will go back to the vineyard but we will find another place to stay.

Cottage!

This was a great house to stay in lots of space. It was really nice having a bedroom down stairs as well as a large bathroom downstairs. It was easy to communicate with the owner who was very responsive through email!!the AC in the down stairs bedroom and upstairs bedroom was great as we were there during a heat wave. The other 2 bedrooms were hot and we ended up not using them all bunking together in the other rooms. The walk to town was short. I enjoyed walking to town each morning to get coffee! The town is a smaller version of oaks bluff having mad maddies ice cream and a few other shops you find in oaks bluff. If you love Martha’s vineyard this cottage was a great place to stay.

Little bit of paradise

I stayed here with my husband and three sons. My husband and I shared a room while my boys each had a room of their own. The two air conditioning units were more than adequate to cool off the entire house when needed. It was a short walk or bike ride for groceries or to explore downtown Vineyard Haven. My entire family loved the outdoor shower! Lovely place to make Vineyard memories.

Ok place

This is a quintessential old house on Martha’s Vineyard near Vineyard Haven. Owner is not the person who originally lived here. Is a little cluttered with old things. There is a Keurig but no coffee maker. Mattresses could use an upgrade; seemed very worn. Comforters are provided but they had stains so we luckily brought our own. We also arrived to a dirty house and had to contact the owner ASAP, and apparently the cleaning service missed it on their list. We couldn’t use it until after 7pm that first day. I couldn’t nap my toddler as we had hoped, or freshen up before dinner, and we received no compensation. There is one bathroom on the first floor in the back off the kitchen and the stairs are steep so beware to anyone who tends to get up in the middle of the night! We had an awesome trip but not because of this house. I wouldn’t tell someone not to book, but if you’re a nurse during a pandemic like me, and you want to relax 100%, I say splurge for a newer place.
