About this property

Close to town, beautifully updated

*** For stays between 9/1/2024 and 6/14/2025, Please inquire about a discounted cleaning rate***. Renovated Oak Bluffs home features 4 bedrooms and 2 full Baths. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and one mile to downtown Oak Bluffs, Beach, Steamship Authority, Restaurants, Shopping, and Night Life! We are 0.8 miles from Nancys’s restaurant and the harbor. Take a quick 15 minute (depending on your speed) walk to town or a 3 minute drive.

The entire home has been completely renovated inside and out. Red oak hardwood floors run throughout the upstairs. The split level floor plan features an upper level with a brand new fully equipped kitchen, top of the line stainless steel appliances, new cabinets and Quartz counter tops. The new refrigerator features in-door filtered water and ice. High ceilings compliment the fully equipped open kitchen, dining and living room along with a beautiful fireplace. Enjoy Sonos surround sound with bluetooth-controlled stereo. Lots of windows bring in the natural outside light.

There is a large deck off the living room for entertaining and barbecuing. Easily bring the outdoors in. A large dining table for outdoor dining as well as a comfortable patio lounge area make the deck as inviting as ever. A top of the line grill makes BBQ a breeze.

The living room features a custom built-in with large window seat. The upper level has one large mini-split to cool the entire great room.

Also, upstairs is the master bedroom suite with a luxurious king size bed featuring quality linens (included!) and a full bath with large shower. It also has its own mini split unit that is individually controlled.

Downstairs are the other three bedrooms, two with queen beds, one with a twin trundle bed, as well as a second full bathroom and laundry room. All 3 lower level bedrooms have their own mini split AC unit.

The laundry room features a new washer and dryer, extra cabinets for food storage and a second refrigerator! Stock up on your way down to the island!

Quality bedding and towels (Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and more) are provided.

There is a patio off the first floor queen bedroom for extra outside sitting. Cozy up with coffee in your own little oasis.

Off the front porch is a large walk in outside shower. Make sure you take the time to shower under the Moon and Stars, not to mention after the day at the beach. The yard is beautifully landscaped and the front gardens add to the beauty of the neighborhood. Wonderful for relaxing.

Newly added for 2020- a propane fire pit and chairs to relax outside and enjoy the fire!

We provide 4 beach chairs, 8 beach towels, and a cooler.

This home comfortably sleeps eight.

Lovely, comfortable and pet friendly too!
We stayed in this beautiful home to celebrate my birthday with our daughter and son-in-law and both our doggies, who are best buddies. The house has all you need to relax and get away from it all for a bit. It was so comfortable and inviting and we all loved the peaceful setting, perfect for dog walks. We found it convenient to everything we wanted to do while we were on the island and will definitely consider returning for another Vineyard getaway!

Even better than we expected
We have been going to Martha's Vineyard for years and know the various areas and prices for vacation rentals. When we got to the home, we were astonished by the quality of this property for the price we had paid. The home was more spacious than we'd expected and much more beautifully furnished than we'd expected. It has an excellent layout with more privacy than other homes in its price range. We were with our adult son and his partner and it was as if they had a downstairs apartment. The kitchen was beautiful,spotless, and well equipped. All of the appliances in the home seemed new and were large and able to accommodate all of our needs. We would absolutely rent here again! kitsufficprivate

60th birthday vacation
We all enjoyed our stay at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked the only missing was pods for the coffee pot. One suggestion we have is better signage for the address. It was difficult to find along the trees and our Uber drivers had a hard time finding it.

I’m almost afraid to share this property.
It is such an amazing home and property that I’m almost afraid to let others know. But the owners do such an amazing job that I have to. It was hands down my best rental ever in 23 years of summer visits.

All the comforts of home
We had a wonderful week at this home. It was immaculate and a well appointed home. We wanted for nothing. The outdoor spaces were the best! A top deck with table seating for meals outside, the Weber grill, the lounge seating along with the bottom covered porch with seating, picnic table and outdoor fire pit were so comfortable for our family. So much thought went into this home by the owners and we loved every minute of our week long stay. We can’t say enough about this beautiful, well thought out home.

Gorgeous getaway
This house was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve EVER had. It is stunning and stocked with everything you’d need for a wonderful vacation home. Location - very convenient to town and yet felt so nicely private and set away from others House - again, stunning. It rained during our stay and we felt zero sadness on just being inside and relaxing. The window seat was a family favorite. Kitchen was perfect for cooking dinner each night. Plenty of dish pods, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. not all hosts do that. Oh and heated bathroom floors, easy to use streaming TV + sound system, blinds to bock out early and sun, and nice grill. SO GREAT Host - had a minor hiccup with entry code that was resolved in less than 5 minutes. Very responsive and very helpful and kind!!! Highly recommend. Pet friendly - yay!! We really appreciated them, approving our two small hypoallergenic dogs instead of one big dog. Our only issue was that the neighbor had a broken piece of their fence and of course the dogs went straight to that. Not the host fault and they even gave us a heads up before we arrived, which was much appreciated. Our only feedback was that there were not enough bathroom towels and that they smelled a bit moldy. After we shared that feedback, they had a repair guy in for the dryer the next day! They seem to really care. 11/10 reco!

Beautiful & Clean Home!!
We absolutely loved our late September stay at this house and it was even prettier in person! Everything was incredibly clean, the rental was well priced, and it was not far from all of the places we wanted to explore. On check out day, the owners were extremely accommodating and allowed us to keep our luggage in the entry way of the home so that we could go into town before leaving the Vineyard. We could not have asked for a better experience!

Best VRBO experience yet!
We loved this home on Martha’s Vineyard! The location was just a short walk from downtown but set away on a quiet street with a spacious yard. The home was beautiful and immaculately clean. We loved all the little details that made it feel more home-y like the Myers’s hand and dish soap LOL! We Will definitely be back!

Even more than what we hoped for…it’s a wonderful home!
Pictures don’t do justice to the warmth and cleanliness of this home! It is beautifully decorated…decorator touches everywhere, and spotlessly clean, we laughingly couldn’t find even a speck of dust anywhere! It’s new and modern, and comfortable as can be. The yard is huge and the landscaping is lovely. The location is very close to town and very convenient. We were really happy we chose this terrific home and would do so again if we return to the area. Many thanks to the hosts for being so conscientious about what they offer their guests…it was very much appreciated by our group of 8 the minute we drove up and then stepped through the front door and saw the beautiful interior. We really had a wonderful stay!

Another Perfect Stay On Chickawaukee
James and Michelle's house is the wonderful added bonus to any trip to Martha's Vineyard. The house is spacious, spotless, impeccably decorated, and has everything you need for an amazing vacation including a fully-stocked kitchen and beach gear. The back deck is fantastic for morning coffee, evening dinners, or just relaxing and reading. The property is so private and secluded, you'll get a feeling of absolute serenity; yet it's only a quick 15-20 minute walk into bustling Oak Bluffs Center. James and Michelle are also great hosts - easy to communicate with, and responsive. Thanks again for a great stay! We'll be back!!

Delightful house
My wife and two young adult children recently visted MV and was fortunate to find this great home. The house was in great condition with many upgrades as listed. Upon arrival, we found a gift left by the owner. The house is stocked with many of the extras needed to help you feel comfortrable in your home away from home. There was also nice soaps throughout the house. The outdoor areas were also nicely furnished with pillows and plants making it a great oasis!
