About this property

The Island Collection MV: Charming Cottage Located In Heart Of Oak Bluffs

Enjoy a relaxing ferry ride to Oak Bluffs and its picturesque surroundings. Once your ferry ride ends, you’re steps away from home! Your vacation stay will be unforgettable in this charming cottage located in back of the elegant, enchanting, and historical bright yellow Victorian home, which was built in the 1950s. Speaking of ocean views….enjoy the benefits of having an ocean view steps away from your back yard! Being on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard in the heart of down town on a main street has its privileges! As the cottage is located on the main street, Kennebec Avenue, you can see the entire ocean; only a stone’s throw away from this lovely fully furnished cottage, which has 2 full bedrooms, 2 full private bathrooms (upstairs), and 1 powder room (located on the main level). The cottage comfortably sleeps four people; two couples or a family of four. There is one parking space available to you next to the cottage on the property. While sitting in the back yard sipping on your favorite glass of wine, enjoy a lovely meal you have prepared on the gas grill which is available to our guests. The cottage is available for year round rental with central air and central heat for your convenience.

On the first floor of the cottage, relax and enjoy the living room and dining area (which comfortably seat four), a newly renovated kitchen, and a powder room. On the second floor there are two bedrooms. The first bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and a full private bath. The second bedroom is furnished with 2 double beds and a full private bath. Both bedrooms are furnished with all new mattresses. This lovely cottage has all new appointments such as: a new kitchen, new bathrooms, all new furniture, an entirely furnished home, central air and central heat. The cottage is also freshly painted. Cable television, wireless Internet and phone are available to our guests.

Conveniently located steps away from the ferry, this striking cottage is only 100 feet away from the beach. As the cottage is located in town, you are close to quaint downtown shopping, night life, restaurants, churches, parks, hiking and bike paths and trails, deep sea fishing, car, bike and motor cycle rentals. Enjoy a tour around the island by way of public transportation (the bus stop), or taxi.

Steps away from your back patio immerse yourself in the beautiful ocean view, which includes a park and gazebo where you can witness people getting married and feel their joy of beginning their lives as one. Listen to various genres of music in the park performed by local and national bands. Watch fireworks from the back yard of the cottage. Witness the uplifting excitement of experiencing people flying kites or indulge in this activity for your own pleasure. Directly across the street from the cottage is the grocery store. For breakfast, after a fun day at the beach, touring, and shopping, or for late night snacking, indulge and treat yourself to some hot, fresh, and sweet donuts that are a hit with the locals. Back Door Donuts is open from 7 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. You’re sure to remember this treat!

As you can see, there is no need for a car…you’re in Oak Bluffs, where the action and night life are only a short walk away! After a long day at the beach, shopping, dining, and fun, you’re steps away from home! We look forward to seeing you!

We adhere to the customs for home rentals on the Vineyard, which do not include linens (sheets, pillowcases, towels, or beach towels) as a part of the rental experience. Please arrange to bring your own linens or visit http://takemmylinenrental.com to place an order for your linen rental.

Wonderful time!

We had a great time! Location is perfect! Home is nicely appointed. For planning purposes there isn’t a toaster and the washing machine was just ok.

If you are looking for a clean place with prime location, look no further.

We stayed at this place during the fourth of July week. The property is very clean with superior equipments. The location is the best in oak bluffs IMO, very vibrant and everything is within 5 minutes walking distance. The owner is very responsive. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back!

a great location, an easy walk from the ferry and not too noisy, considering where it is. very clean, good setup, good responsiveness from owner. we are a family with two teenage boys and would choose it again. it is cozy, but for sleeping, eating and getting out to enjoy MV, it is perfect.

Great location and accommodations

Wonderful property located in the heart of Oak Bluff. Walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Perfect for a family of 4. I initially was concerned that noise could be an issue being that close to the the downtown, but no issues at all. House was clean and well stocked. Absolutely no complaints. Can’t wait to go back.

LOVELY COTTAGE - PERFECT LOCATION

What a lovely cottage and what a great family location, walkable to all, the ferry, the shops, the restaurants and the calm beach. Bike rentals and kayak rentals were a hit. An easy bike ride anywhere on the island. So much action right around the corner, but it was quiet and comfortable (and incredibly, thoughtfully clean) at "home" - thank you for this wonderful time, it was great.

Fantastic MV home!

Fantastic Stay! Great property, beautifully decorated, super clean and close to everything in OB. Jolanta was reallly communicative and helpful with all our questions. The beds are the best we’ve slept in! The house is comfortable for a family of 4 or 2 couples, kitchen fully equipped and the outside area is a great spot for your morning coffee or a late night cocktail (and the location is super close to those delicious Back Door Donuts). We’ll definitely be back!

Nicely decorated and very clean

Great little cottage to stay if you want to be right in the hustle and bustle of downtown OB. A bit noisy with people and traffic (not the owner’s fault) so if you’re a light sleeper I would not recommend. I also missed a nice porch to relax on but the convenience of walking to and fro was great.

Great location and very charming cottage!

This cottage/house was just perfect! The location is great for all ages to get in and around downtown oak bluffs, to ferry, and beach. Do not need a car, everything is within walking distance. There is a shuttle close by to explore the island if you decide not to have a car. The parking space is tight if you have a bigger vehicle but will fit. Very comfortable accommodations, nice comfy beds, well equipped kitchen with new outdoor grill on nice patio. Good for all ages and would definitely recommend to small group or family! The owner was easy to connect with and we are very happy with the whole experience!

Clean, Convenient, and Comfortable

Close to everything, easy walking distance to the beach, the shops, restaurants, grocery store, the ferry, and donuts. Mostly very quiet even though it's in the heart of everything. Jolanta was very responsive and helpful. The parking is a little harrowing in a mini van (very narrow space), but there is parking (!) and we got used to it. The back yard space was shared with the property behind it, so that felt a little weird, but overall an excellent, well-stocked, and cozy little place.

Mostly Good

The house is clean and well decorated. The location is a bit hectic as it is right in town on a busy street. It was conveniently omitted that the back patio is shared with another house.......no privacy. This could pose a real problem for some as there is also no front porch.

Updated Gem in the Heart of Oak Bluffs

Overall our stay was fantastic & would definitely recommend for 4 (or even 5) people! Property: Completely updated top to bottom with new single zone AC units in all rooms, washer/dryer, new TV, functioning WiFi, Weber BBQ, patio set & full kitchen with all the items you will need. Cozy feel but we had 2 adults, 2 young teenagers + grandma and we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Bedroom/sleeping set up worked great for our family with the 2 BRs & pull out couch. Only minor point is that the dresser space is not in excess so we had to get a bit creative. It does have plenty of closet space and they provide hangers. Location: Fantastic in the heart of it all. Walk through to Ocean Park & Inkwell beach. Across the street from Reliable Market & Back Door Donuts, Circuit Ave & all Oak Bluffs has to offer. It is a busy area, which can get some noise, but the cottage does a nice job of keeping the noise out, particularly the bedrooms. Also easy walking distance from Tabernacle/camp grounds/dockside. The owner was quick to respond and attend to all of our needs. We are planning on coming back in 2019. If you are not sharing a house with multiple large families but want the Ocean Park location & vibe... this place is for you!

Very clean. Very cozy. Excellent customer service!

It is really a lovely place. Every room was spotless. Cleaning supplies, including alcohol spray and wipes were strategically placed in the kitchen, and all the ballrooms. She even provided masks—just in case you forgot yours. The two bedroom was more than enough space. And, my son loved having Disney+. Also nice: hooks were in the bathrooms, and hangers and bins in the closest for storing clothing—no need to live out of your suitcase. We loved being close to the tennis courts, food, and the beach; and we didn’t hear any noise at night. (The area was quiet at night anyway—no cars or people waking around.) The supermarket was steps away, and the kitchen was well stocked. I was thankful to have the AC at night because I cannot sleep when I’m hot. We had some trouble getting the grill to light (in part because we have a charcoal at home), Jolanta was very responsive, and had someone come to check on it right away. Also, she was very nice when I texted her for instructions on arrival. I didn’t see the initial email sent (I didn’t realize that the HomeAway brand is...gone), and I had been up since 2 in the morning. I was brain dead, so it was nice of her to re-text and “talk me through it.” This was a last minute find. We were very happy with it. We’ll rent again.

Not 100 feet from the beach! More like 1000 feet!

This place was clean when we arrived. Although you should be warned they do not provide a lot of essentials: Soaps, shampoo, towels, sheets. (you will also need to purchase toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex tissues, because after the first row that they provide you’re on your own. This includes the ONE kitchen trash bag as well). Important to note as well once you run out of toilet paper, which they only provide two rolls, you must go to the store and buy your own. You must also purchase trash bags once you empty the garbage. I found this to be most obsurd and a bit frustrating. Also you must provide your own paper towels as well once you run out of the ONE they provide. Also please note if you are taller than 5 feet you will need to pee sideways because there is no leg room in the queen bedroom and The guest bathroom downstairs.. The bedroom with the 2 double beds has no mirror to put makeup on. There is a mirror above the toilet but does not lend itself to being useful. Lighting in bathroom is very bad. Bring your own make up mirror as well. In saying all this after you have packed up sheets pillowcases towels face towels hand towels toilet paper bathroom mirror you will need to bring at least three suitcases to fit everything that you need in order to be able to be comfortable in this home. Another important note to consider is when you arrive there is a lockbox that is behind the house. It is not eye-level. Literally you have to kneel down to get to the lock box to be able to see the numbers. And if it’s night time best to go ahead and pack a flashlight so that you can see the numbers in order to get the key to get inside. We are all over the age of 65 with an 81 year old with us as well. It was very difficult to actually have to kneel down press the buttons needed in order to open the lock box to get the key. This house only provides ONE key. So when someone left to go shopping, etc. we would have to put the one key back in the lock box so the others could come back and forth as needed. I guess they could not afford to make another copy of the key to make it a little more convenient for their guests. It’s kind of like the toilet paper, trash bags, etc. I think you get the jest of where I’m going with this. I mean Be a little friendlier to your guests. I don’t think it’s asking much to provide just a little more of the essentials. And 2 keys instead of just one.

High Score for Walkability

What we loved most about this cottage was the location. We could walk to everything in the center of town including the beach! The cottage was clean, well decorated, cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, dishes and utensils. There are no spices. There was plenty of toilet paper, but we did bring our own just in case. There is also a grocery store across the street. The host was very responsive. A couple of clarifying notes that may be important considerations for others: (1) As noted in the listing, linens are not provided except for coverlets. The towels from the recommended vendor were a bit thin and standard size (no bath sheets); (2) The location of the commodes in the powder room and the primary bedroom are a tight squeeze. I’m 5’6”. This would not be comfortable for folks with long legs; (3) The outdoor patio space is a shared space. Conversations of guests from the main house using the larger outdoor dining set can be heard in the cottage; and (4) There is no smart tv, streaming device or free on-demand programming available.
