About this cottage rental
Small beachfront cottage; back deck is right on the water and the front door is on Beach Rd. where you can flag down a bus or ride or walk to Vineyard Haven (1 mile) or Oak Bluffs (2 miles). Unbelievable sunsets. Games. 3 bedrooms upstairs: The Master bedroom is a "queen-short"; other ocean side bedroom has a double bed; the roadside room has two twins. You don't even need to bring a car! If a family member can't do stairs, the couch opens up and the full bath is on the first floor. Watch parasailers and ferries and fishermen, walk up the beach to the jetty, rent bikes, explore the island. Or just stay home and read on the deck. Wifi, grill, TV. So relaxing at the house. In the family for many years and we rent it out when we are not there. There's a great Film Society less than a mile away with nightly good movies. Don't rent this house if you want modern Pottery Barn feel; it is small, old-fashioned, and simple.

Booked with Franny nearly a year in advance. I was given a good overview of the property and what to expect. It’s a very cute cottage on the edge of Oak Bluffs near the bridge to Vineyard Haven. Super convenient to get to those places. The house is steps from the water on the Sound, that location, view and access to the beach is priceless.
The home is small and cozy, very rustic and humble but met are needs and aligned to the expectations. The bedroom with the twin beds faces a busy road so at night light sleepers might get disturbed. The in room AC does a decent job of drowning the road noise.
The other bedrooms face the beach and you can hear ocean waves at night, super serene.
Not super modern but clean and functional.

As the owner said "if you are looking for Pottery barn feel, do not rent our house" It is truly a rustic beach cottage, but you can't beat the location!

It was a beautiful couple of days

Exactly as advertised. Just a quick drive to Main Street Vineyard Haven or downtown Oak Bluffs. The back deck is private and beach is breathtaking. Looking forward to coming back.

we really enjoyed our stay

A few bumps at the beginning were solved by persistent communication between Franny and the electrician! This is an old time cottage with lots of updates upstairs, in the nicest location, though a very busy street. Nothing beats waterfront views, a private little beach, and ferries passing by. We took so many pictures as the sky and clouds changed by the hour. Nice kitchen appliances, and plenty of practical items like pots, pans, bowls, etc. Short drive (or easy walk) to town. We had a great time!
4.8
My friend and I spent a week. The weather was not the best but we still enjoyed watching the ferries, sailboats and yachts go by. The location was great and the deck was wonderful. The inside is as described and could use some TLC but it had everything we needed. Franny was a good host and communicated as needed.

Amazing sunsets ! perfect setup for my daughter and disabled father can sit on the back porch and enjoy time with the family while we play on the beach and enjoy the sunshine . The host is wonderful and quick to respond . Old vineyard charm

Nice little house right on the water, easy access to oak bluffs and vineyard haven. Responsive host!

Porch was a fav by all

The cottage reminded us of our family's 1930's vintage lake cottage. It brought back special memories for us. It was perfectly located for all that we wanted to see and do on Martha's Vineyard. For us, being away from the congestion of summer tourists in Edgartown was a definite plus. It is a five-minute drive from downtown Vineyard Haven where we found cute shops and great restaurants. The views of the harbor were wonderful. Literally, the cottage was feet from the bay.
4.8
Great location. Good view of the water from backyard. Very responsive host to questions. Would highly recommend this property for staying while visiting the Vineyard.

This year was our 5th stay at this wonderful little cottage. Our week here is one of the things that everyone in our family looks forward to all year long! We had a great time (as always!) With how busy life can be, this is truly the perfect ‘escape’ for us! It’s in a perfect location, right between Vineyard Haven & Oak Bluffs so you’re minutes away from both. We love exploring new parts of the island as well as being able to unplug from much of the day to day, and just sit out on the deck, grill, play games, and enjoy our private little stretch of beach. The house is always clean and stocked with the essentials. And Franny is so nice and helpful, should anything ever be needed. Sitting out on the deck in the evening is one of the nicest sunsets we’ve seen!
Thank you again for letting us share these incredible memories!

We loved our stay . It was perfect for my father who is disabled since he could sit right on the back porch and watch his grandkids play on the beach . Beautiful sunsets

We had a great stay. Location couldn't be better, host is wonderful, the spot was just right for us!

We loved Franny's property! It was a perfect cottage for our family! The beach out front had the most amazing sunsets and the cove behind the house was my kiddos favorite place to play during our stay. It was a great location - close to both downtown VH and OB. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Frannie was great with communication and made every just so easy. We would absolutely stay again!
Thank you Franny!!!
4.8
We had a really nice time on the island. The house was just what we expected with a beautiful view. Franny was very helpful and we loved the little touches that were added to the house to make us feel welcome.
4.8
We really enjoyed our stay at this property which we rented so that we could attend a wedding. It was a perfect location just outside of town with beautiful beach views of the ferries and boats that traveled the sound. Frannie was the perfect host and always responded promptly when we had a question. The cottage is small yet it fits 6 comfortably and is well equipped for preparing meals. The deck has ample seating for those nice weather days. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.
4.8
The cottage was exactly as described. Perfect location. Beautiful to hang out and hear the waves crash and the sunset. Easy walk into town. Great new washer and dryer as well as stove. We loved it and we hope to return ❤️

As Frances clearly states, this is NOT a fancy property. It is, however, clean and stocked with everything you need. The deck and views are incredible and if you like to spend a lot of time outdoors, then this is the place for you. We slept with the windows open and it was wonderful to have the waves lull you to sleep and wake you up in the morning. Communication and response to questions was prompt. This was my retirement trip and when we arrived Frances had left me a nice note and some candy congratulating me on my retirement, What a sweet gesture.

This was our 4th time staying at this wonderful little cottage. I really can’t say enough nice things about it and Franny! The house is clean and always stocked with the essentials. Open the window to the ocean, fall asleep to the waves or see some of the nicest sunsets. It’s in a perfect location, right between Vineyard Haven & Oak Bluffs so you’re minutes away from both. Easy to check out the island or just stay home and enjoy your own private stretch of beach just off the deck. Nothing like grilling on the deck while the kids play on the beach just steps away.
Our week at the cottage is truly one of our favorite weeks of the year. And Franny is always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Our yearly trip to MV and stay at the cottage is one of the things that everyone in our family looks forward to all year long!

Thank you Franny for a wonderful stay! The deck looking over the water is absolutely perfect and just what we were looking for. We loved sitting out there and watching the boats. We hope to come back again next summer.

We loved our stay at this property on Beach Road. It was so nice sitting on the back deck watching the sailboats and ferries and admiring the sunset. We used the outdoor shower a lot and it was amazing. This house is not fancy (which is fine with us) but it has everything you need. We cooked many dinners and were able to walk or bike to Vineyard Haven or Oak Bluffs. The bus goes right past the house so we took the bus one day to Edgartown and it was very easy and convenient. Thanks for a great week in MV!

We have a great week! The location is awesome.

We always have the best vacation when staying at this house. The location is perfect. Franny updated some things since our last stay, all good things. We'll definitely be back next year!!!
4.8
We wanted a short getaway to celebrate my birthday. This house was exactly what we were looking for. It’s close to everything but very private and peaceful and absolutely beautiful. Every view you see the ocean. All you can hear are ocean waves. It’s perfect. A hidden gem. Never thought I’d be able to rent a place on the water on Martha’s Vineyard. Thank you!

We loved going to sleep and waking to the waves just outside our windows, and watching the sunsets from the back deck, just for starters. We so enjoyed our week at this cottage, which is also handy to both Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs. We walked into Vineyard Haven our first day, and the road to East Chop along the coast is good for a walk or run. We were also happy just hanging out on the deck watching the boats go by. The house is not fancy, but it is clean, and everything works. (With good water pressure!) There is an abundance of towels in the upstairs closet, and games downstairs for rainy days or evenings. Franny is a very responsive host and clearly wants her guests to enjoy the place. We would come back!

The house is located on the water and is very peaceful. Waking up to the seagulls talking and the sound of swooshing water was amazing. The house is equipped with all you may need.

This our third summer renting from Franny and it was another fantastic week. The location of the house is perfect, we love being right on the beach. And the drive to Vineyard Haven or Oak Bluffs is quick and easy. We are so sad to leave!
4.8
This was our second time staying in Franny's place. We love the location because it had its own beach and is also just across the street from the lagoon beach. It is also convenient to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. The place is cozy and homey. There were six of us staying in the house. Each bedroom has a fan, which came in handy on warm nights. We would recommend this place and hope to rent again soon!
4.8
The listing is spot on. A charming little house right on the beach with beautiful sunset views. A short drive into Oak Bluffs or Vineyard Haven. Across the street there is access to the lagoon with a nice sand bar for little kids. My kids liked the lagoon even more than the ocean! We were pleasantly surprised to find the house stocked with amenities like toilet paper, paper towels, linens, towels and condiments, not something we usually see when we rent on the Island. Finally, the owner was very accessible and eager to answer questions and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.
4.8
The cottage was homey and sweet. I felt very at home. When the weather got crazy, the owner was easy and accessible to communicate with. Just as perfect for a good read in the rain as a sunny day on the porch.
