We enjoyed our stay! It was a great, clean space with plenty of room for our family. Location was ideal, located between Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven.

This home is in a great location—nestled perfectly between oak bluffs and vineyard haven. Plenty of outdoor space for families to relax and enjoy. The Bowers family is incredibly responsive and kind. Look Forward to staying here again.

My family (grandparents, parents, and children) stayed here. It's a great place for kids because they have such a big yard to play in. While the streets are busy near the house there are trails that make it easy and safe to walk to Vineyard Haven. It seems like the bike trail extension will go right past the house, which will make this property even more of a wonderful stay. If you are a person who likes everything new and updated (bathrooms/kitchen), then this isn't the place for you. But if you are a lover of old houses, this is the perfect fit. Everything worked well, and we found there were plenty of showers (3!!! plus a tub upstairs). A great property. And the porch is just amazing.

Home has a large yard and amazing porch and it is "little kid" walking distance to a small beach. It is not the spot for adults to entertain other adults inside - but a family with children who like to play outside will find everything they need.

My friends and I loved staying at Eventide even though the house is fairly rustic and probably needs some updates. But if you don't mind the age, you can really enjoy the charms of the home, which includes a massive wrap-around porch, and a great location, only a short drive to Oak Bluffs, but still far enough from crowds that it's relaxing and serene. Just be careful getting in and out of the shower on the first floor and you'll do great!

We enjoyed our stay at Eventide and Martha’s Vineyard. Rooms were very comfortable, plenty of closet space given the age of the property and ample storage, wonderful yard with lots of space for games. The porch was a perfect place to read, have coffee, outdoor meals, nap, whatever you like. Dana and Tina were friendly and accessible for any questions we had.
The road does gets a bit loud but the air conditioning drowns out a lot. Good location- not too far nor too close to the action of Oak Bluffs. Quick walk to small beach and about 15-20 min walk to Vineyard Haven.
Thank you Dana and Tina!

Overall the house was very good. The yard and porch were fantastic; it's where we spent a majority of our time when there. The kitchen was small with little counter space but we made do and the living room was great. Bedrooms upstairs were a good size. We did wish there was a shower in the upstairs bathroom though. It's big enough! We ended up taking all of our showers in the outside shower which was nice anyway (if a bit narrow). We really enjoyed sitting outside on the fabulous porch at night but one thing that we never quite got used to was the very loud and busy intersection where the house is located. Still it was a very enjoyable stay.

The property was great with nice big yard for games. The kitchen had little counter space but it we worked around that. The front porch was amazing for sitting down for dinner and after a long day at the beach. Everything was very clean and the cottage feel of the decor is exactly what the Vineyard is about.

Home had everything that our family needed for a beach vacation. Kitchen was well stocked. Porch was charming and excellent to have meals on or just read a book. Yard was perfect for lawn games and house was centrally located between Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven and a small beach just a short walk down the road. Great memories were made for our 2021 vacation.

Eventide was exactly what we needed and more! The location was perfect for us being so close to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven centers. We walked, biked and drove as needed, and it was great to have those options. Although the location is on a busy corner, you feel very secluded with the large beautiful hedges and fences providing complete privacy. We could see the water from our upstairs bedroom windows and could take a short walk to a small beach area to fish and skip rocks, etc. such a treat! The house itself was so beautiful, which we saw from the pictures online, but we were so pleasantly surprised at the quaintness inside. It was nostalgic and comfortable, with such character! We fell in love with it. We have rented several houses on the island and this is our definite favorite. It was spacious, cool on hot days, and very well-stocked and furnished. The porch was our favorite part of the house. It is so big and absolutely gorgeous! We enjoyed so much quality time as a family on the porch, visiting, eating, playing games, etc. Between that and the spacious lawn, the property was ideal for a family vacation. The owners were so nice to work with; communicative and very responsive. We highly recommend renting this very special house on this island that is so close to our hearts. We can’t wait to return!

This was the perfect home for my family! This spacious 5 bedroom allowed for my entire family to be comfortable. The window AC’s are a must on the Vineyard during this time of year, and something we were grateful to have in all of the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen had every thing I needed and it allowed me to prepare home cook meals, as if I were in my own kitchen. We so enjoyed the wraparound porch. The seating area was perfect for sleeping, reading or any kind of lazy beach socialization. Breakfast, lunch and dinners we served on the outside round dining table! My favorite - the outside shower! There is nothing better than taking a warm shower under the stars. We took advantage of every outdoor amenity this beautiful beach home had to offer!The property is located at a busy intersection, across the street from the MV hospital, so the traffic and siren noise can be challenging, but we quickly got used to it. So many other positives to this VRBO home outweigh this minor distraction.The Bowers have created a well appointed beach home - we plan to stay here in the future! A gem on a gem of an island!.

Fantastic summer getaway
The Bower’s home is wonderful. We had plenty of space for 3 adults and 4 teenagers but we found the porch to be the most favored spaces by all. It is simply magnificent. The kitchen is well stocked with all the appliances and tools you need for a dinner in. Lastly, the location is awesome. We could get to beaches, food, and shops by foot, bike or car! It wa so easy. We definitely hope to rent their home again.

Perfect getaway
Ideal property for the family or group of friends. Easy access to both Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven.

Super clean and comfortable house
They had everything you could want and close to smaller beaches and the VTA. The only thing to consider is that it’s on a fairly busy intersection and it was a bit difficult with smaller children to let them bike. They had tons of amenities and lots of kitchen, bath and basics. The beds were comfortable and the owner was great about answering questions!

Great Vacation Stay!
Dana's cape cod home was a great stay for our group of 8! Since we had a car, the location (between vineyard haven and oak bluffs) was super convenient.
The house comes with all the amenities needed for a relaxing and family-fun stay including full kitchen, cable, and wifi.
Dana was also super easy to communicate with and readily available for any questions or concerns about the house.
Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to stay with family in cape cod!

Memorial Day Girls Weekend
Working with Dana at Eventide provided a seamless booking experience; he was always available to answer any questions we had, and provided excellent instructions for getting to/into the house.
We booked Eventide for Memorial Day Weekend as a group of 9 girls. We had no complaints all weekend, and the home provided a great central point for us to come home to after going off and doing our own thing. There was plenty of space to spread out and find privacy if we needed it, and great communal areas for meals and games.
There was only 1 shower, but it never presented a problem, even with a group of 9 women! The ammenities provided were enough so that we never even needed to leave the house if we didn't want to. The location was excellent; 15 minute walk to OB and 20 minute walk to VH. It is also on the bus line for the 13, so getting anywhere from VH all the way to Edgartown is very easy. The taxi's were also able to find it easily, so we had no problem getting to the house off the ferry in the dark.
It rained all weekend, but the front porch offered enough room to hang out and play games without getting rained on. There is plenty of yard space, and it is secluded by a nice row of trees and a fence.
We would all highly recommend Eventide, especially for a girls weekend or family getaway, and are very much looking forward to returning next year! A great weekend spent on the Vineyard! Thanks, Dana!

For A Classic Vineyard Experience
If you want to feel the Vineyard, this is the place for you. My family and I have been going to Maarthas Vineyard for many years, but this was the best, and most comfortable stay we have had.
The ad said walk to beaches, which we did not readily see, but we drive to our favorite beach anyway.
The house was spotless on arrival, with a spacious living room and a beautiful wrap around porch on which we ate all our meals other than eating out.
(Giordanos in Oak Bluffs is a standard favorite of ours and we found a new place that just opened called Danny Quinns. It has a small and not a Vineyard tradition menu, but Danny himself sang. I highly recommend it.)
The dining room was spacious enough as well for company to come by and play a board game and cards.
The kitchen is as fully stocked as my kitchen at home and the large pantry held all the supplies anyone could need and then some. The upstairs bedrooms were large and airy with beautiful breezes. The downstairs shower was a little tricky to get in and out of in the deep bathtub, but the shower in the laundry room was perfect with plenty of privacy.
Eventide has character all her own. All the doors have latch handles and some light switches are push button like in your grandmas house. Outlets are limited, but that's what you find in a place with this much history, which is reminded to you with some of the pictures.
Dealing with the owner was a pleasure. He was in touch quite often to see that we were comfortable and if we had any questions. He said that we should make Eventide our home for the week, which we did. And I highly recommend others to do the same.
