A great home with a roof deck offering beautiful sunsets and a quick walk to several small beaches. The house was large and comfortable for our family vacation. It is equipped with most things you need to cook, relax and beach! We would definitely recommend it for family gatherings. Situated only a mile or so from Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs. We will be back for sure!
We had 8 adults and a baby and the house was a perfect size for us - could easily accommodate more. Nice features and location. Several of the key amenities were missing/not working. The roofdeck firepit did not work which was disappointing in the cool evenings. The 12 beach chairs advertised were not there, nor beach towels. 3 of the bathroom towel racks/rings could not hold a towel without falling off. Kitchen tools were spare and no wine glasses in a house on Martha's Vineyard! The roofdeck grill was dirty from use but we bought a grill brush and did it ourselves. Only way to communicate issues was through chatbot with limited results - we ended up getting beach towels, but nothing else was addressed while we were there.
House is charming. Several items need repair. Didn’t respond quick enough to get issue resolved. A whole day wasted the other day rained all day.
This is a fabulously well appointed home! My family enjoyed our stay while attending my niece’s wedding!! The proximity to everything we needed and all of the sites we needed to visit enabled us to enjoy our time there! I recommend this home!! Thank you!
Plenty of room for the 9/10 people. The kitchen was very nice as well as all the bathrooms. Convenient location and great upper deck views.
The house was spacious and very clean. Although it has age the bathrooms and kitchen are modernized and recently renovated. Located equidistant from oak bluffs and vineyard haven. Ed, the owner, was attentive and responsive to our needs
