About this property

Beach, Town, and Tennis - Central AC

We will let the photos do the talking, but note that this home has some especially attractive features for large groups, such as bedrooms that allow for privacy due to access by 3 separate staircases. The newer kitchen has two refrigerators, two high efficiency washer/dryer units, and plenty of storage. Dining area has two tables that seat up to 16 people. There are a number of flat screen TV throughout the house. Mattresses and pillows are all protected with hypoallergenic liners. There is both private parking in back of the house for up to 3 cars, as well as on-street parking.

With all that is new, there are still many historic touches that have been restored -- sliding panel doors with the original hardware in the living room, stained and leaded glass windows, and a funky 'Nantucket Bedroom' that is great for kids.

Outside you will find a large stone patio with gas grill and plenty of seating, along with access to the outdoor shower. Additionally, there is a shaded farmers porch, which is perfect for lazy Vineyard afternoons. Cross the street and you have access to tennis/basketball courts (we supply high quality tennis rackets and basketballs) and a playground. Take a few more steps and you are on Circuit Ave, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and nightlife. As for the beach and harbor (including ferry boats to the mainland), they are just a few scenic blocks away.

This home is professionally cleaned and maintained year-round, and the owner has been renting out homes on the Vineyard for over 22 years. Feel free to inquire about the two bedroom Edgartown home and the four bedroom Oak Bluffs home. vrbo numbers 43322 and 59668.

Great stay! Perfect location for our group

We had a great time staying here. Every year we bring together two other families together on the Vineyard and this year the consensus was that the location of this home can’t be beat. It worked well for our families (small kids) and Joseph was informative and responsive to all our questions. We had a great week at this beautiful home.

Truly Our Home Away from Home

My family has been vacationing on the Vineyard for over 20 years. We found this home around 10 years ago and fell in love with it. The home is well suited for our large group of up to 15 . Over the years the owner has completed many updates including a complete renovation in the last few years including central air and a new kitchen and bathroom! Those renovations have made the home even more enjoyable and comfortable. The home is right across the street from the newly and beautifully renovated Niantic Park, 2 min. walk to Circuit Ave., 5 min. walk to the beach, and the new bowling alley is right around the corner. We love the Vineyard and this home and look forward to returning for years to come.

Great stay for family connection

Location is perfect to walk in any direction for entertainment, food, shopping and beach. 10 family members from four different states came together for a reunion in our favorite destination of Martha’s Vineyard. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very cooperative but the space of this home was perfect as we waited our the rain without climbing all over each other. Clean, comfortable and enough rooms to spread out. Loved the outdoor shower. Grateful for the double washers and dryers. Kitchen was convenient and stocked well with items we needed and the dining room allowed all of us to eat together. Short walking distance to the grocery store for supplies. Sufficient amount of linens and towels. Was able to walk from the ferry and bus stop. Highly recommend this house for larger groups.

Great location, lots of room

I stayed at this property with my family at the end of June. The location is perfect. It’s an easy walk right onto Circuit Ave, close to the bike path, and right across from a park that the kids really enjoyed. The house is large and can fit lots of people. The best part was definitely the outside - the front porch was a great place for a morning coffee, and the patio was perfect for evening drinks and dinners. Brand new grill - nicer than mine at home. Two washing machines meant no problem getting wet towels dry. The owner Joe was super responsive. The outside shower is a bit tired, but it didn’t stop us from using it all week. Overall - great place to stay if you want to be walking distance to all the action in OB, and have a larger group.

Perfect location & Excellent Stay

Our family absolutely loved this home!!! There was plenty of space to hang out in a private abode and regroup together as needed. There was ample parking for our 3 cars and the home lacked nothing inside. The fact that we were walking distance to Circuit Ave and Inkwell enhanced our experience greatly. Having a playground and courts across the street was a must have for our little ones. And Joe was incredibly responsive, answering our most mundane questions. Overall I highly recommend this stay, and we would gladly bring our family back next season.

Location, Capacity & Value

We are pretty familiar with MV. 11 of us ages 7 To 76. We are kind of "professional renters" in coastal MA and Lakes of NH spanning the last 12 years. Other reviews on this site capture the gist of this place. I will fill in some specifics that our troop found. Pros & Cons. PROS: owner was very responsive to communications. Holds 15 people. Excellent value to occupancy ratio c/t other rentals in this area. Good location just off Circuit. Off street parking for 3 SUVs. Easy on street parking immediately in front of house (Can't stress this feature enough in OB). Dining room seating capacity and arrangement. Twice weekly trash pick-up (many good trash barrels and recycling barrels). Park across street (under construction). Great outdoor showers (lichen adds character). Excellent TVs (3). AC (central other than window box in room with the 3 twin beds). 2 good full size fridge/freezers. Good WIFI. Bedding and house towels provided. Combo Doorknob lockbox for keys. It is unreasonable to compare the fit, finish and features of a typical $11,000/ week rental to this home at about half the rate. That being said there is some info that other renters may find helpful. CONS: Overall there is a "Sarah Winchester Mystery House" feel to the place. This could pose problems to small children and mobility impared adults. Build quality and design are not strong features of this house. Fit and finish are the same. Stairs are narrow and steep. Toilets may require "side saddle" technique to use. Many doors do not close properly and privacy locks are not available. No master bedroom (no en suite). Upstairs bath floor needs replacement. Insufficient rings and hooks for towels etc throughout the home. As stated on website, no beach chairs nor beach towels are provided. We feel they would be welcome additions for renters in the future. Lack of well defined sleeping/bed arrangements on website. No waste baskets in bedrooms. Poor quality of some major appliances (dish washer, washer/dryer). Tennis courts in poor shape and no nets are up at this time. Minor pest problem with centipede(s). We resolved this issue. Some of these issues are readily fixable and others are inherent to the property and still others are outside of control of property owner(tennis and park). When completed the park will in all likelihood be quite nice. Overall and all things considered for price, location and GUEST CAPACITY, this is a good rental option IMHO.

We LOVED this house!! Can't wait to return to our Vineyard home!

This house was meant to be for my group of 14 and it was the perfect fit! Communication/ Booking: This was not my first time to MVY, but my first time renting a house through VRBO abd I was nervous to say the least! I had planned a tril for 18-20 people and our first house was a no go due to drop off. It is hard to find an affordable house for an unusual number of people (13-14) only a week or two away from travel. Luckily, I saw the great reviews for this beautiful blue house and reached out to the owner, who was so accomodating and prompt with responses. Joe was defInitely a delight to work with from start to finish, giving helpful suggestions for travel and once I received the contract I knew that I had made the right choice! Location!!!! I cannot express enough how perfectly this house is located. Circuit Avenue, with all of the shops, nightlife and restaurants, is literally at the corner and one short block into the scene, but the house is tucked away on its block so you still have peace and quiet. The house is also a five minute walk to the water/beach and maybe a short 10 minute walk to the Ferry. We didn't need a car to get around. My group rented bikes to visit Vineyard Haven and Edgartown and simply walked into town for shopping. The House!!! The pictures do not do this house justice at all!! It is absolutely beautiful and well layed out. The huge porch has enough seating for 10 people. We watched the Blood Moon rising on the porch with wine and dinner and a beautiful view. There is a grassy park across from the house as well as a tennis and basketball court. The side of the house has a high quality gas grill and picnic table perfect for a bbq. There are three different staircases from the main floor leading to the comfortable bedrooms and it is such a pleasant surprise. All the rooms in this house are tastefully decorated with inviting colors. The bedroom on the main floor is my fav. It truly felt like home. There are two living rooms/living room and den with open space layout and french doors for privacy. The living room is very cozy, with smart tv, cable and dvd player. The den has a built in book case with games and such. We often fell asleep in these rooms and the house is so relaxing that our group of thirtysomwthings were falling asleep before 10pm! The dining room easily seats 15 people we spent a lot of time enjoying meals at the tables and cooking in the grand kitchen. All in all, we LOVED it and will rent again!

We will DEFINITELY rent here again!

Just finished a three night stay at this home with 12 people (10 adults - 40's-50's, and 2 tweens). I would have to work hard to come up with a complaint! This group has rented many homes on the island over the past 20 years and this one has risen the ranks of absolute favorites. Things I loved: - multiple "wings" for sleeping; people really could have a little bit of privacy away from the big group. - dining set up totally accommodated our big group - 2 fridges: One for food, one for adult beverages! Brilliant! - off street parking for our 3 cars, very safe - the home is decorated beautifully, great colors on the wall, feels very homey. This house really LOOKS like the pictures! - the house was clean, well taken care of, and the owner obviously spends the offseason investing money and elbow grease to get it in shape. - the location is great -- very close to circuit ave and all the great shopping and eating that OB has to offer, the beach, and, of course, to Back Door Donuts. You really don't need a car to enjoy a great weekend here. I'd point out that the bathrooms are a bit small; if you're a larger-bodied crowd, one or two of the toilets may feel a bit closed in for you. I'd also mention that there is a cool bedroom in the back with 3 twin beds, but you wouldn't put little kids in that space, unless you were confident in their ability to navigate tricky stairs. (You might also not put drunk adults in there, for the same reason :-) ) Finally, the owner was very collaborative with communication as the trip came upon us, and was SUPER responsive to any of my questions. He was a real joy to work with! I would not hesitate to rent this place again!

Perfect House, Perfect Location!

Just returned from a fantastic one-week vacation on the vineyard at this beautiful house. The location is absolutely perfect—less than one block from Circuit Ave. (restaurants, arcade, ice cream, boutique stores, grocery store), a minute away from a playground, basketball and tennis courts and a few blocks away from the beach. We rented this house with another family (six kids under 7) and loved the convenience of walking everywhere. The unique layout of the house is perfect for large groups. There are three separate staircases: first leading to two spacious rooms; second leading to two other spacious rooms and the third (off of the kitchen) leading to one very large room with three twin beds. There is also an additional room on the ground floor. At first, we thought the layout would be difficult with the kids and the stairs, but it turned out to be perfect. Each family took the staircases with the two rooms each and our two nieces (babysitters for the week) took the one larger room with three twin beds. It was so easy to put the kids to bed and enjoy dinner outside or inside without worrying that the kids would wake up. We loved the wrap-around porch, having the two refrigerators, outside shower and more than ample dining space indoor or outdoors. We were worried about how hot it would be at night and were pleasantly surprised to find up to two fans in every room (even though it got cool in the mornings). As great as the house was, we were so impressed with the owner of the home. From the minute we inquired about the house he has been nothing but wonderfully responsive. The days leading up to the rental date, he emailed us a long list of restaurant recommendations. We arrived a bit earlier than expected and called him and he picked up right away and told us we could probably check in a bit earlier. Two days into our vacation, one of our kids decided to press all the buttons on the remote control and messed up the television. I emailed the owner and he responded within minutes and explained what we should do. In all, a fantastic vacation at a wonderful home!

Our stay at 9 Wamsutta at Oaks Bluff

We just got back from a wonderful vacation at Martha's Vineyard. The home we rented for a week was very clean, so nicely decorated, and all the comforts of home. We were so impressed with the beautifully landscaped yard with 2 picnic tables to accomodate our large family, the very large kitchen (including 2 refrigerators), the very comfortable stylish living room with a flat screen TV, and a dining room that comfortably seated all of us. We also loved the idea of being in walking distance to the beach, to the shops, and just a walk across the street to the tennis courts.

Truly a Home Away from Home!

I've stayed in this home with my family and extended family for the past 5+ years during our annual family vacations to the Vineyard. It is truly our home away from home! Its location can't be beat! If you're looking for a house close to town, beach and park all are in walking distance - town and park literally steps away! The house itself is clean, modern and spacious. Enough room for privacy when you want it and family time for meals, games, etc.! Rent this house for your stay on the Vineyard and you won't be disappointed.

Failed Septic System

We stayed here August 7 to August 21, 2011. There were 12 of us the first week, 15 the second, and most of us have been staying in houses together on Martha’s Vineyard for three years now. We’ve all also visited the Vineyard separately many times over the years. This is a spacious house within walking distance of Circuit Avenue and the beach. The kitchen is large, with 2 refrigerators, very nice for a group of this size. The mattresses are very comfy, the best we’ve had so far. However, 3 of the 6 bedrooms have no closet and one bedroom has just enough room to squeeze alongside the queen size bed. In addition, the septic system had failed. Although the owner says he first became aware of the problem a few days before we arrived, he informed us of the situation on the day of our arrival as we were all in route, and then suggested that we take short showers and shower outdoors. The toilets filled with food and overflowed three times during our stay. There were days when 15 people had the use of 1 or 2 of the 3 bathrooms in the house. The owner was quick to have someone come and pump the system whenever problems arose, but we feel we should have been informed when the owner first became aware of the situation and given a chance to back out and get a full refund or offered a discount to still come.

Just Great!

We stayed in this home in early September of 09 and now we are planning out 2010 trip. This home was just great for our group of 14. Others have said it, but we really appreaciate the space to spread out for our different families and yet all gather together in that great dining room, which seats about 15 or 16 people. It's a great place to just hang out. There are a lot of nice touches to this home that are really helpful for large groups: 2 coffee makers, 2 refrigerators, 5 or 6 televisions spread throughout the whole house, and the personal computer. Something else worth mentioning -- the mattresses and bedding are of a really high quality, something you don't usually think about until you arrive at your destination. The owner was very attentive and I was always impressed by how quickly he answered my emails. The location is great..,just around the corner from town and an easy walk to the beach. The park across the street with tennis and basketball, and stuff for the kids is a real place. We highly recommend this home.

Wonderful house, perfect location

Celebrated my 40th birthday with friends and family in this house and everyone loved it. The house is located a block from Circuit Avenue shops and restaurant, which the adults will love. It is also adjacent to a lovely park and tennis club, which the kids will love. The beach is a short stroll away and the neighborhood is lovely. The house is nicely updated with a sweet front porch, small yard with benches and a grill. The inside of the house is very clean and well-maintained. The layout is unique with 3 separate staircases leading to the bedrooms which is great for privacy. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and family friendly and great for kids. The living room is comfortable with a nice sofa and books and magazines. There is also a computer room with computer and high speed internet. The dining room has two tables, including a large one. The kitchen has 2 refrigerators and a new washing machine. There is parking in both the front and back of the house. I worried that the 2.5 baths would not be enough for a large group but was pleasantly surprised that it was just fine. The owner was fantastic! Very attentive and flexible with our requests. As far as activities in the area, I would recommend Deon's for meals, C'est La Vie for shopping, the Flying Horses Carousel for the kids, and don't miss a road trip to Acquinnah to see the lighthouse and have a lobster roll at Faiths.
