Did not use grill…… was very dirty Otherwise nice visit

We have been blessed with several years at this house on Mud Puddle. We love this home with its’ perfect location and everything that our family could need during our stay. Looking forward to many more years here!

The house was clean and well equipped. The amenities listed could be more specific. I brought several things that I didn't need to bring. Sheets, hairdryer etc. The road took some getting used to. The house is close to the main road so don't go too far. It is not hard to see the number on the fence. No where to turn around if you go too far. My main complaint was the refrigerator and some windows don't open. Overall a good experience.

Nice house, close to the ferry.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was a short ride to the beaches but nicely tucked away for privacy. Our kids really enjoyed playing in the yard and the home itself was perfect for our needs. Will stay again!

Great layout, all of the necessities were there, close to town, nice open floor plan and truly enjoyable first trip to Martha’s Vineyard!

House has everything you need but is a bit outdated and a far walk uphill from the ferry and Main St. That said, it would be difficult to find a bargain like this on the Vineyard. Definitely need a car. Bring your own soap and shampoo.

The home has 2.5 baths, which was convenient for 4 adult women! The home was clean and stocked with all necessities. We had no concerns and didn’t have to reach out to anyone. Will stay here again in the future.

We stayed for three days at this cottage in mid June. The layout of the house is very open, so air circulates well. It is nicely decorated and the furniture and beds are comfortable. The location is great!!

Cottage on Mud Puddle Rd is a lovely, peaceful visit. Accommodations clean, bright, and comfortable. The 5 hen girls will welcome you and provide entertainment for treats. Many amenities, kitchen complete , washer/dryer, grill, all comforts of home.. we will be back, please!

I had a milestone birthday getaway with four other ladies here at the cottage we affectionately called Mud Puddle. For three of us, it was our first time visiting Martha's Vineyard. We had a *wonderful* time. The cottage had plenty of space for the five of us. I brought two folding chairs so we could all sit at the dining room table together with a guest. The beach/nautical decor was very tasteful, with the blue paint and the polished oars as wall hangings and as the stair railing fondly noted. When it got hot, we were able to use the fans available in many of the rooms. The cottage also had plenty of windows for light and cross-breeze. The kitchen was a popular place. We cooked three full meals using the utensils, dishes, and even a few spices we found. The coffeepot did not work for us, so we boiled water in a pot for tea every day and were just fine. We left some vinegar and seasonings behind for the next guests so they could make a salad dressing like we did! One of my cousins walked into town to pick up some food and enjoyed her journey. It was less than a mile one way. Our neighbors were great, one child even coming to our rescue by getting his chickens out of the road so we could pass by. My only minor disappointment was the lack of curb appeal. When we pulled up and saw the tall grass and weeds, we were concerned about what might be lurking in them. So once my friends saw some wild turkeys in the back and a skunk crawl under the deck, it was difficult to get anyone outside to enjoy the backyard. I know the owner said he'd been on vacation for a few weeks, so that would explain it. But again, once we were inside, the cottage was immaculate and just what we needed for our restful getaway. Two of us used the outside shower, which was an amazing experience! All in all I highly recommend this property on Mud Puddle for fond memories. I want to thank the owner for remaining in touch with me from when I originally reserved this for 2020 and postponed my visit due to the pandemic. This was worth the wait.

Cottage was really cute inside, clean, and in a great location. A few small appliances were low end/ could use replacing, but overall we really enjoyed our stay!

This was a great home to stay. Though it may not be on the beach, the beaches were not far. Easily accessible, great location and peace and tranquility felt both inside and outside of the home. Thank you so much!!!

Property was as listed, clean and bright. It’s just enough out of downtown VH to not be in the bustle but is a pretty easy walk or bike. Also not a bad bike to Oak Bluffs. I would stay again!

This was our first trip to Martha's Vineyard, and we all loved it! Very beautiful island, people very nice and helpful! This property was just what we three sisters needed - each had our own bedroom. It was very clean and had all the amenities needed for a relaxing vacation. I would suggest you take your own washcloths, as we only had ONE! We recommend the 3-hour MV tour - our guide - Phil - was very knowledegable and amusing! I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay on the island!

This was a great house for a group of friends to discover and explore Martha's Vineyard but it does need some tender loving care. There were not complete towel sets for all of us; pillows, some lamps, and toaster need replacing for instance. There was good kitchenware for everything we wanted to cook. Didn't have any communication with the owner but I couldn't leave it blank.

I would rent again. Had everything you needed. Newer gas grill would be nice. I stayed two weeks and enjoyed. Owner responsive.👍🏽.

Nice house in a great location. Easy drive/walk to town. Outdoor shower was a bonus! Kitchen was well equipped for easy dinners. Overall we would book again!

This house was a great place to spend a week on Martha’s Vineyard. We found it a comfortable place to relax and it was close enough to town to take walks.

Very comfortable, we will Come back Another year. thanks very much

The rooms are all very comfortable and spacious. The bathroom layout was perfect. The house does not have air conditioning but there was no need for most of us. The room with the twin beds is the only one that got too warm one evening. The nights are mostly cool. The patio deck was perfect for morning coffee. We saw a wild turkey in the backyard. I would have liked a lock on the screen doors since we slept with the sliders open. Philly girls are used to keeping things locked up tight but MV is more laid back in this respect. The location is perfect in relation to all towns. We loved our stay. I recommend this house for a vacation with friends and family.

The house was very clean and in a great condition. Despite not having an A/C, the house stayed cool, it was mostly in the mid 70s outside during our stay in June. We enjoyed the patio and the ability to grill outside (great seafood market: John's Fish Market in Tisbury). Another plus, 2.5 bathrooms, so no wait for a bathroom or shower! And did I mention the outdoor shower?!?! Amazing addition! Bud was excellent with communication and responded very quickly to all my questions. The only thing I would add - we were visiting with a baby, the house does not have a crib, although we managed ok with bringing a pack n'play - in case that is a deal breaker for someone traveling with a baby. Another recommendation - the door to the first floor bedroom does not lock, so nosy family members just keep coming in. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay here in the future.

The home was as described, clean, updated . The area is quiet yet close to town.The reservations were easy to make and communication was top notch.Thank you for sharing your home!

Our family has been visiting MV for close to 50 years two to three times a year. We were very pleased with the location - quiet and peaceful. I am a walker so the location was great for that. Great care was taken by the owners for the pleasing interior. Loved the name of the road - Mud Puddle! Didn’t want to leave!

The cottage was fine, and the location was great. The place was clean when we got there, and we enjoyed the deck area. The light above the dining table does not work even though we tried changing the light bulbs. The two bedrooms upstairs also have faulty lighting. It wasn't a big deal because each room had at least one little lamp that worked, but it might be something for the owner to check out eventually. We were aware that the house might smell because of another review, and they were right. I think it might be from the mold on the roof or the siding. We just opened the windows to air out the place whenever we were indoors. All in all, it was a pleasant stay.

Bud, the property owner is a sweetheart! We contacted him a couple of times while on the island and he responded very quickly. The house was super clean when we arrived and so cozy. We had a great week!!!

Cute place in a good location. Love Mud Puddle House!

The home and location was completely perfect for our desired biking all around the vineyard.

Our family of four stayed at Mud Puddle cottage for two weeks and loved it. It was close enough to town to walk but far enough out that we had a spacious yard for our toddler to run around! The cottage itself was great - had everything we needed, was spacious and very well maintained. It also let in a great amount of natural light with the skylights and sliding doors. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it!

This charming property was perfect for our short term stay; we would love to come back for a longer term stay. The cottage is well equipped with all kinds of kitchen necessities. It is quiet and secluded. Bedrooms and bathrooms are very nice.
