This May, my two siblings and I treated our 78 year old mother to a trip to MV for Mother's Day weekend. None of us had ever been to the island and we were all very excited to explore. This was also my first experience with VRBO. The Oak Bluffs house is in an excellent location within walking distance to the town and the beach area. It is in a residential and the interior is comfortable and quiet. The photos of the interior are accurate and we found the kitchen, bathroom and related appliances and amenities all in excellent condition. You wont run out of towels! There are three bedrooms and a large full bath upstairs and a second bathroom off the kitchen on the main floor. The fourth bedroom is off the kitchen and was likely converted from being an office or sunroom. I slept there on the daybed and enjoyed the space. My siblings and mother found the upstairs rooms comfortable and pleasant, but desired tv sets in their rooms for late night viewing. The owner was at the property when we arrived checking on some recent work and he graciously provided a brief tour of the house and recommended a local grocery store for snacks after our day of travel. I should also add that he checked in via email during our stay and was extremely helpful and generous with his time in retrieving my mother's cell phone which she left behind at the house. Though we were just four adults, I believe the house can accommodate 6-8 easily. I will certainly check this property first for a return.

The property was clean and the owner was excellent. We hope to return.

Enjoyed being able to walk to Oak Bluffs and stock up nearby at Tony's. View of port a potty and traffic noise annoying. Could use garbage pail in upstair bedrooms and a coat rack.

Stay was just as described- had everything we needed- great location

Short walk to downtown OB. Right next to parks. It is on a main road which can be busy. Nice rooms, layout, and amenities in the house.

This home was perfect for our family of 6 adults. The location to Circuit Ave and the Inkwell could not be beat. Joe was a great host. Attentive and helpful. Home was clean, had linens and everything we needed.

Great location, clean, comfortable, well stocked and well planned house. Was very pleased and would repeat stay.

This was a great stay all around. Very clean, stylish decor, not fussy. Well appointed. Great location. We would definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful time! Sorry for the late review, I just figured out where to submit it!

We loved the house and it’s proximity to town, the beach, and parks. Joe was a pleasure to deal with and everything was exactly what we expected.

Nice house with everything you need to enjoy a vacation on the Vineyard.

There is nothing more we could have wished for. Joe is a pleasure to deal with. The property exceeded our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities! It was spotless and we had no issues at all. Hoping to stay again next year. AW

We are still floating on cloud nine after our trip. We have been asked to go to the Vineyard for the last ten years but as owners of a beach house on the Eastern Shore it was hard to pay for a beach trip but this house, it’s location and the town were well worth it. Having a family vacation with kids and a mother in law in her 80s we needed a place that was walkable, accessible and met all our needs and the house did just that. Cooking and preparing meals was easy, and Joe has thought of everything. I was pleased with the cleanliness and the dual air conditioning system was perfect. We will def be back and hope Joe’s place will be available!!

Another lovely trip to Martha’s Vineyard and Oak Bluffs this year. The house is clean and comfortable. Joseph was a dream to work with. Our family consisted of 4 adults and two children and there was plenty of room for all of us. There is a small bedroom on the first floor with a daybed and desk which was perfect for a crib setup. A full bathroom is provided on the first floor. There are 3 bedrooms and a large full size bathroom are upstairs with a shower and a tub. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of eating and cooking utensils. There is central A/C throughout which was a huge bonus. The porch provided plenty of seating for everyone and there is a side yard for the kids to play. The Circuit Ave. traffic is busy, but you can only hear it when you are sitting outside. Location is within walking distance to the shops, the beach, and a nearby park. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Joseph for use of your lovely home!

House was as described, clean and cozy. Property owner was very kind and responsive. Tony’s Market was a 3 min walk and very convenient during our stay. Easy walk into town and to the nearby playground as well. We had a wonderful week!

The house is great! We had 5 adults. The 2 bathrooms are awesome. The deck is beautiful. It's a very short walk to Oak Bluffs where you can do everything. Our first time to MV, and this place made it wonderful. Joseph is amazing - always timely response if we had questions. Would go back in a second!

Had an amazing time at this home for our week in Oak Bluffs! Very centrally located which was great because many of us did not have a car. About a 10 min walk into town and there is a local market right around the corner which came in handy many times. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly need to cook at home and we loved having breakfast each morning on the outdoor patio area!

We have vacationed in Martha’s Vineyard a number of times and have been fortunate to stay in great accommodations. No exception here. This house was perfectly located and very comfortable for all: nicely updated and a great place to hang out when not out and about. Being able to walk to the center of Circuit Ave in minutes was so convenient and we highly recommend going to the Back Door bakery for their oversized apple fritters and donuts.

We loved our week in Joe’s Oak Bluffs cottage. The house is very updated, beautifully decorated and we had all that we needed for our week. The outside table with umbrella was great. Laundry so convenient, beautiful upstairs bath. Location is great - about a 10 minute walk to OB shopping and Gingerbread Houses, and about 10minute walk to the beach. For families with young children, there is a bit of traffic on Circuit Ave, but this was not an issue for us. We enjoyed games in the yard - the landscaping is beautiful. It was a very easy place to vacation. We would highly recommend!

This property was extremely clean except for the small ants. Plenty of room for 8 people and great for family fun. Close and walking distance to everything, but house is very close to street and small yard so must watch watch children closely or keep them on the porch! Appliances were all working but unplug the toaster oven when done. It's an older model. Overall, it had everything we needed and good times with family!

This property was very clean and inviting. Excellent location to the beach and town center. This property had many upgrades. Everyone in our party enjoyed the property and stay at MV. The Owner was easy to deal with and communicated promptly. Highly recommend this property.

House is clean, comfortable, and very convenient location. Nice porch, too. All good!

Loved being so close to the beach and to the campgrounds, the AC was perfect, loved the spacious and clean kitchen and master bathroom. Quiet, comfortable, just what we were looking for!

I rented this home for my guys for work for the week and they loved it. The owner was such a pleasure to deal with which the experience that much better! I hope to be able to return with my family and friends soon!

Great location, straight walk right into Oak Bluffs, clean and comfortable home. There is a market & deli right around the corner to pick up any last minute items or grab sandwiches for the beach.

My family spent a week at this beautiful home this summer. The amenities are fantastic and it is in a prime spot to be able to walk downtown after days out and about on the island. We went to different beaches each day and it was relaxing to know we could come home and not have to drive. The house had everything we needed including appliances, a grill, linens, towels (you need to bring your own beach chairs and beach towels). The huge washer and dryer in the kitchen was a HUGE plus with a bunch of teenagers going to the beach everyday. The outside shower was another huge hit. I would definitely stay at this house again.

I just returned from my annual Girl Getaway on Martha's Vineyard and THIS house helped make it one of my best trips yet. The location is PERFECT! Short walks to stores, restaurants, activities, beaches! Although we had one, You do not need a car. The owner was incredibly accommodating from my initial contact throughout and was very responsive. I actually did not even need to reach out to him during our stay because everything we needed was right there for us. From the modern appliances to decor to the updated rooms. We lounged around the house during the hot days perfectly comfortable b/c of the central a/c. It was all perfect. We were a group of 6 woman and one 17 year old and we fit very comfortably....side note 2 women shared the lower floor bedroom with the trundle bed and mentioned it was bit tight according to them. We had a wonderful breakfast out on the patio and discussed our day on the porch at night. We are EXTREMELY disappointed to find out the house was already booked for the week in 2017 :( but know whoever is renting will enjoy the memories they create. We definitely look forward to renting THIS house again in the future.

I just returned from my third annual stay at this MV house. I love it so much I just committed to a fourth year! The location is perfect - a short walk to the shops and restaurants in town and a short walk to Ocean Park and the beach. There is a market about a block away too. The owner definitely takes great care of this house and each year we are surprised with awesome, modern updates. It's rare to find an MV house with so many modern conveniences - central air, washer/dryer, dishwasher. The bathrooms are updated and there is a grill and a huge porch. Part of the porch is covered and it's great on days when it's raining at bit and you can't get to the beach. The house is always very clean and the owner is great and very responsive. I can't say enough great things about this house. It has become my summer home away from home!

I love this house! Three girlfriends and I stayed here for a week in September and had a ball! One of the girls who could not go up and down stairs had the room on first floor with day bed and it was perfect for her. We loved the front porch! Enjoyed our coffee in the mornings out there and cocktails in the evenings. Several mornings one friend and I walked to Tony's Grocery Store for great coffee and fresh pastries while others slept. The location was so convenient to restaurants, shopping, water, and park. The house had a washer and dryer which helped us be able to pack lighter. Bathrooms were great and had wonderful outdoor shower as well. I would highly recommend the house to anyone who visits Martha's Vineyard and we loved the area of Oak Bluffs which is where the house is. People there could not have been friendlier or more pleasant!

Perfect is the only way to describe this property. Photos are spot on and shot w no wide angle lens. Beautiful hardwood floors. Great kitchen w everything you could think of but there were far too many restaurants to try and not enough days. Grilling would have been nice if time had allowed. One week goes fast. Bedrooms were so comfortable, love color and decor. Mattresses so comfortable. Heat and air worked as you expected, although we did not try heat and seldom used air. The most beautiful weather blessed us with not one cloud. Flowers were like a photo. So close to town of Oak Bluff you could walk if so inclined. Safe neighborhood. One night I did see a skunk, I have never seen one in the wild and was so excited. Spa bathroom upstairs. Everything spotless. Sat on deck w umbrella when we were at house day and night. Washer and dryer came in handy. Landlord was very responsive through out. Needless to say I plan to return, can't wait. May even take my husband next time. Went w girlfriends from high school this time. To

My family and I had the pleasure of renting this property for a second time this past June and from the moment we arrived and saw the brightly colored umbrella on the porch, we felt like we had come home. On our first trip to Martha’s Vineyard in June 2014, we rented this property and had such a great time, we returned again this year. On both occasions we had a fantastic stay and look forward to returning here in the near future. From the onset, my communication with Joe was great. He was extremely helpful and very responsive to my many emails and requests. The house is beautifully maintained as Joe is continually working to improve and upgrade. As an example, when we stayed in 2014, the house had window ACs and this year he had installed central AC. It’s very clean, cozy and comfortable and is exactly as depicted in the online pictures. There were six adults in our party and we had more than enough space. The bedrooms were quite comfortable and the downstairs area provided many comfy sofas and chairs for relaxing, watching TV, playing games, etc. The HE washer and dryer was a huge plus for us and we loved the wrap around porch where we could hang out in the mornings and have our coffee and people-watch or enjoy a barbecue in the evenings. The area is very quiet and peaceful, and the location is fantastic – within easy walking distance of downtown Oak Bluffs with its shops and restaurants, the waterfront, and the beach. Nashaweena Park is on one side of the property and is perfect for early morning strolls and late evening walks. Overall, my family and I have no complaints and we loved our vacation at this house; a great time was had by all.

I recently returned from a fantastic week in this wonderful home in Oak Bluffs. The property is exactly as advertised with modern touches, yet still manages to maintain its charm. It is obvious that the owner has taken good care of the property and the recent updates are evident, all resulting in a very comfortable stay. The upstairs shower is a little tight, but the tub is amazing; there's a full shower on the main floor; and I can't say enough about the outside shower. On top of all that, the property is really just a short walk to the heart of Circuit Avenue or the beach. The minute we walked in we knew we would be back for another stay at this property. We have already started discussing next year's trip to the Vineyard and I only hope this property is available.
