This inviting and comfortable Oak Bluffs vacation home awaits your stay! With all the comforts of home like A/C, private laundry, an outdoor shower, cable TV, free WiFi, grill, and a spectacular location, you're sure to have a fantastic getaway here. Located on a gorgeous grassy plot walking distance to the lagoon, this Oak Bluffs vacation home is an ideal spot for your Martha's Vineyard holiday. Walk to the scenic shores of Lagoon Pond via Sail Camp Park where you can launch your boat. If you're visiting for a wedding or private party, this home is the perfect location to travel easily between the Sail Camp Park event hall and the home. The famous East Chop Lighthouse is just three miles away for a traditional New England experience.
The partially fenced yard has an ornamental cherry tree with the most beautiful blossoms in the spring, and offers the perfect shade from the summer sun. A furnished deck with gas grill is the perfect place to have a family cookout after a day at the beach. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt as well.
Enter through the sliding glass doors from the deck to the family dining room with seating for eight at the counter-height dining set. The soft sage-colored walls, hardwood floors, and natural light give a bright and airy feel. After dinner, settle into the living room to watch a DVD you brought or the big game on cable TV. If you've got to make a few last-minute touches to your vacation or event plans, the WiFi will keep you connected. If you get the itch to cook up a filling dinner or a lumberjack breakfast, the kitchen is well-equipped for your needs. A Keurig coffeemaker is available for the coffee lover, and a dishwasher makes cleanup easy.
About 10 miles across the island is Norton Point Beach if you want a true summer experience. Take a drive to the other side, about 16 miles, and visit the village of Aquinnah and see the amazing views from the well-known cliffs. Staying for an extended period of time for an event or just on the island for a break from the city? This Martha's Vineyard vacation home is ideal for helping you create memories to last a lifetime!

There was a lot to love in this house. It was clean and cozy, the back patio and yard were lovely and spacious, the kitchen was well stocked, there were bonus towels (thanks!), the beds were comfortable. We also had some mini challenges, like one of the bedrooms having only outlets FAR from the A/C working, which meant no A/C. There was also a moldy smell inside of a downstairs cleaning closet; if you're not sensitive, it's no big deal and mostly just in that one spot. One of our guests IS sensitive, so this was problematic, but we made sure to keep that door closed the whole time. The Wifi was also crazy slow but worked most of the time. Luckily, we didn't want to be online most of the time, but I did have a few things to do and am noting this in case someone else has a partial working holiday! All in all, I'd book it again and was happy with the house and neighborhood.

We ended up leaving early (late last night 9/22/23) when I discovered mold in all the air conditioners and a colony fuzzy mold under the cabinet in the first floor bathroom/laundry room. Myself and my youngest became very ill while staying here with sinus issues, asthma attacks and sore throats. I am sure the owner of the house has no idea this is going on as the property is managed by an Asian company called Vacasa. I took MANY photos. Other issues include: 1) The house was impossible to find as Vacasa provided the wrong address. They said it was on Onondaga Street in a non-existent zip code. They then proceeded to send me down a variety of dead end dirt roads until we’re inadvertently found the house on Onondaga Road in a different zip code…in the pitch black darkness no less! 2) There were live roaches in the lighting fixtures. 3) There was a composting bin on the countertop filled with recently discarded food, which attracted ants. 4) While the kitchen was outfitted with all the necessary accoutrements to cook all our meals, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty and it looked like roach droppings on the silverware. All-in-all, it was just gross. We stayed five of our six nights because the Vineyard is amazing, but hastily gathered up my family and lifer last night because I discovered, while trying to find the root cause of the illness were were experiencing in the house, large deposits of black, grey and even orange mold throughout the house. Totally disgusting.

Lovely home in a secluded area of MV. We had three generations and it was great for all. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the mornings and evenings. A good place to rest after a day of activity. Was very clean and all amenities in working order. The beach supplies - chairs, umbrellas - were a welcome bonus.

The Island Sanctuary is just okay. I went at peak time which I understand is more mo ey, but this house was WAY overpriced. Why they promote the lagoon in their description I have no idea. It smelled musty upon arrival.. The back deck chair was broken, cushion had a hole in it, the floorboards in the outside shower were not secured and lifted up in the air when stepped on. The water line on the refrigerator was not hooked up so I had to buy water and ice everyday. The microwave handle was broken with an apparent attempt at a duct tape fix. I tried to contact the designated contact person when the keurig stopped working and she didn't respond. At the risk of sounding like a Karen, I will say that the beds were very comfortable and it is roomy enough for 5 people. Keep looking though...you can find something better for the price!

I feel like it was a lot to ask for the bare minimum, but it was fine. Clean enough. Certainly out-dated and the window air conditioning units were really load and old.

Property condition and Ammenities
Overall, this is a nice place to stay while in MV. Like a lot of "Managed" properties however this one suffers from wear. Screen door material ripped, floors need to be refinished, furniture had needed some repair, vertical blinds kept falling off, microwave handle broken etc, however the biggest condition item was easier to fix: Clean this house better. Stove vents loaded with grease as well as cabinets. Remove Stove and Refrigerator and clean the accumulated dirt and food. Overall, we would return expecially if the house were cleaned. Suited us perfectly.

We loved it so much we want to rent next year. Very warm and cozy. Our Grandchildren had the best time. We picked a perfect home for our vacation.

Solid stay for a weekend
Ample space in the house for all of us. Furniture was great, deck was great. I definitely wish there was more dish ware in the house, I found it difficult to cook at times. And the bathroom upstairs could use an update. But otherwise, great stay, and full a/c was AMAZING.

Loved this house
We came to visit for my cousins wedding weekend. With 6 people in our party it was a perfect fit. The house was spotless, and spacious. We really enjoyed having this space to enjoy during our time together, would definitely come back! The only reason I didn't give five stars was the bed was not very comfortable, other than that great experience!

Clean, good location.
Had just about everything we needed. Quiet at night. 10 minute drive from oak bluffs and vineyard haven downtown areas. Definitely need a car. Main bathroom is old and dingy but was clean. No complaints- would return!

The house is wonderful! The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is lack of parking. The description of the property states parking for two cars.
I have a full size truck and it barely fit buy its self. There is also a small tree growing into the side of the driveway. Watch your mirrors.

We loved our stay at Island Sanctuary. The reason we gave it a 4 out of 5 was due to ants in the kitchen. The rest of the house was quaint and perfect for our little family + pet get away. A/C, a nice back patio + outside shower, grill, a kitchen area, and TVs in most of the rooms. Plus it’s close to town/state beach/ ferry.We recommend having a vehicle to access this property but overall it was a great property for the price!

Great property
The property is very nice and as described in the listing. Comfortably sleeps 7. Very clean. It is a little outside of town but there were plenty of Uber/Lyfts to get us around. Used them to get around the whole island. ACs worked great. Loved the outdoor shower. Thanks!

Awesome, Quiet, Comfortable, Up to date
Beautiful home, great location, close to the action but off the main path. Family friendly vibes. Lagoon Pond and beach are within walking/riding distance. Family enjoyed the kitchen/dining nook, eating together and hanging out, but also had enough space to stretch out into the bedrooms with no problem. The house was so comfortable that towards the end of our stay, it became a chore to rustle the troops to get out and explore - the kids were truly enjoying the environment. Nice touches and my wife told me everything she'd thought of was covered. Happy wife.... When we visit MV again, we'll be looking to book this property.

Island Sanctuary Property
3 Bedrooms. 1.5 bath. Great outdoor shower. Nice back deck. Good location.
House is dark inside. Needs better lighting.
TV are too old. Limited channels. Downstairs & Up stairs. Clean. Few dollars on lights & up date TVs. Make this a much better location.

Nice and Neat
This house was ideal for us, you do need a car though as it about two miles from the shopping centers. Usually I am very particular about sheets and towels and bring my own, but here everything was clean and good, so I did not end up using mine. The deck is big and has enough seating, a good place to hang out in between beach and shopping trips.

It was our first time to the Vineyard and we did not bring a car on the island. I would recommend a car because the house was not near anything and you have to take cabs everywhere.

A Welcome Surprise
We've rented on the Vineyard for a number of years and in the past we simply acclimated ourselves to enduring things we did not like about our rental. This rental was the first to have it all. The rooms are all goodsize and the flow of the downstairs spacing is both efficient and inviting. Outside in the back is a comfortable spread out sitting porch area with wicker chairs (the cushions are in the shed), providing a peaceful relaxing environment for enjoyable conversation. The kitchen is well equipped with everything -- plates, cups, glasses, silverware, an amazing spice rack and both a convential coffee maker and a Keurig replete with complementary coffee. The three upstairs bedrooms are all clean and each one well equipped with its own AC Unit. Some of the mattresses are a bit too soft and should probably be replaced. Yet, all of the other positive attributes of this unit definitely standout and make this rental a winner. Ron P.

Oak Bluffs home
Pros: The home was perfect for 5 women to get ready to hit the town, bathrooms had plenty of space, beds were comfortable, access to washer and dryer was helpful. We loved hanging out on the deck and having cocktails, we even enjoyed the sounds of the rooster next door. The home is a short drive to the center of town and we never had trouble parking at the beach. Also access to beach chairs was great, would be better if there were more of the larger chairs though. Check in was easy, neighbors were quiet, great grocery store with deli and coffee stand not far from the house.
Cons: Found a couple of ants on the kitchen counter top, two of the TVs in two of the bedrooms were not programmed so they could not be watched. Kitchen is NOT clean, utensils in the utensil stands had food encrusted on them, no paper towels were provided as stated in the quote, no dishtowels, dead bugs inside the overhead lights, should purchase a fabric shower liner so it can be washed the plastic one is brown on the bottom. Also, if the house sleeps 7 there should be a non-stick pan large enough to cook breakfast rather than just one small one.

An Okay Stay
Overall the stay was okay because we were busy doing things outside of the house. However, there were ants, no central air, no wifi and no cable like it stated there was. Although the furniture and house was generally nice and was generally clean. A perk was having the washer and dryer.
