About this house rental
Salt Box style Log Home with open floor plan built by my family with a country feel, located on a wooded lot in the down island town of Oak Bluffs. Central Air and easy walk to local beach that is used by families of the Lagoon Heights area. Beautiful town and state beaches close by. Charter fishing, golf, great restaurants and ample shopping for the occasional rainy day. Many local attractions to visit, gingerbread homes, tabernacle, oldest functioning carrousel, walking/ bike trails and nature preserves to keep one busy while enjoying the the Vineyard's laid back, casual nature. First floor bedroom has queen bed, upstairs has the full bed. Loft area has three twin beds. Screened porch has wicker furniture, two couches and two comfortable chairs. The home provides a comfortable retreat for those that prefer to be away from crowds, yet only a short trip to town and the beaches.
*If not able to bring your own linens, they can be provided for an additional fee that is dealt with at the time of arrival. I will discuss with the guests prior to arrival.
Keywords: Log home, deck, screened porch, grill, outside shower, quiet neighborhood, walk to local beach, 1.1 miles to town, restaurants, shopping and fishing. Golf close by at Farm Neck and a 10-15 minute ride to Mink Meadows Golf Club in Vineyard, Haven.
Check in time generally around noon on day of arrival. Varies according to departure of party leaving. Check out time is generally 10 am to provide sufficient time for turnover(terminal cleaning) before next parties arrival.
Owner does not break up a prime summer week, therefore all bookings need to be for seven nights. In addition, the weeks need to run Saturday to Saturday, as the turnover day with support with cleaning is on Saturday during prime time. All other dates can book a minimum of two nights at anytime.

We had a great stay! Beautiful house, would definitely stay there again.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The house was extremely clean, more than enough room for all 6 of us, beautiful property all around. We’d recommend staying if you ever visit MV. John was extremely friendly and helpful. Checking in and out was super easy.

I think this was one of the best places we found in VRBO..
We initially was very skeptical about the place but when we reached the house it was wonderful, beautiful and very spacious..
John maintained the place very well..
He welcomed us warmly and explained us everything about the place..
Next time we go to Oak Bluff we will definitely try to stay at this place again.

Clean home.

The property and location were absolutely perfect for our needs. It was very spacious with plenty of sleeping and lounging options. We were pleasantly surprised by the high ceilings, outdoor shower, and deck. John was very good at communicating from the booking through our departure. We were able to walk from the property to all central OB destinations and were happy to return to this quiet spot off the beaten path. We hope to stay here on return trips to the Island.

It’s a very family friendly space. It’s not the most modern but the cost of staying in a house on MV is getting outlandish and for the value we didn’t care one bit. Owner was really friendly and not intrusive at all.

Our stay at this island home on Martha's Vineyard was fantastic. It had so many nice locations to sit, visit, read and enjoy the day. John was super easy to connect with and met us at the property to go over everything we might have needed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with items you might need if you choose to make your own meal. I would highly recommend this property for a nice location to travel and tour Martha's Vineyard. It's location was very close to the areas we wanted to visit. Thank you for a great stay!

House was very clean and lovely with plenty of room. Is convenient to Oak Bluffs. John met us at the house and was very helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Everything was as described if not better. John was a great host and took care in showing us around the property and making sure we were comfortable and had everything needed for a perfect weekend stay. In my opinion, the property was better in person than in pictures. Great overall experience. Looking forward to the next opportunity to visit the island, knowing that a great property and host is awaiting.
Thank you, John, for your hospitality!

We absolutely loved this house and our time in Oaks Bluff. John was fantastic to work with and made sure we were comfortable and settled in when we arrived. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe. We definitely plan to return someday!

Owner lives next door, so good accessibility. The house is close to center of Oak Bluffs. Neigborhood was quiet during our stay after Labor Day. Beds were comfortable. Only caution is the dirt roads going to house were heavily rutted with several deep potholes which were difficult to negotiate even at a slow speed. Vehicles beware! Otherwise, a pleasant stay.

Had a great visit. Loved the charming log cabin and found it easy to take the bus or walk (25 min) in to oak bluffs center.
4.8
We had a great Labor Day Weekend here (2023). The owners were very responsive and kind. The location is an easy bike into Oak Bluffs, but probably too far to walk. The house is actually more spacious and brighter than the online pictures indicate. There was laundry available in the basement and the air conditioning was nice on the one humid day we had.
Our family of four would definitely stay here again.
4.8
The home is beautiful, the owners are very nice and respectful. I will book this house again.
4.8
We really enjoyed our time in this island home. It was quiet, clean, close to the top attractions, and it had all the amenities to make for an enjoyable time with family. Communication was great, and everything was smooth about our stay. Would definitely consider this home again in the future!
4.8
Tye host was very friendly and helpful- great guy. The house he built is a great design, log canin, but also the features like a sun room that are typical of the island. The AC cooled the house quickly.
4.8
We had a wonderful 4 day stay at this home in Oak Bluffs. Homeowner has done a wonderful job at making this home very comfortable... Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the bed upstairs.
4.8
John, our gracious host, met us as we arrived and showed us around. He was very helpful and kind to do that. We have a great short weekend on the Vineyard at his lovely home. Beautiful all season rooms to hang out in, plenty of space for our 4 person group (with sleeping for 7) and so close to Oak Bluffs (with a short car ride to Edgartown).
4.8
I'd say this place is even nicer than the photos show in the listing. It worked really well for our group staying there for a wedding--there's only one bathroom but the outdoor shower was really helpful with getting ready. Would recommend!
4.8
My friends and I were in town for a wedding and enjoyed being within walking distance (20 min) of Oak Bluffs. John is a great property owner and was very responsive to our questions and flexible with check-in time based on the ferry schedule. Appreciated a comfortable, homey spot with plenty of room for the 5 of us to relax in for the long weekend! Thanks again!

All good!!

John’s house was just as described, and we highly recommend it. We had a great week exploring Martha’s Vineyard, and the house was a great home base for seeing different parts of the island. John was a great host and provided all the information we needed about the house.
4.8
We had a great time at John’s place. Clean, well stocked, close to town and walking distance to the lagoon. 5/5 would definitely stay again!

John Gurney was a absolute pleasure to deal with! He demonstrated, and showed us all we needed to know about the house. The pictures on VRBO do not do this house justice! It is much nicer than the pics Indicate! All appliances worked perfectly. Plus, John is a golfer! How can he not be a good guy? We hope we can secure a week here again next summer!!

My 3 sisters and I stayed in this house for a wonderful reunion week. The house was big enough for the 4 of us to enjoy comfortably, though we would have liked an extra bathroom. Other than that, we loved the house. It is spacious and beautiful, with multiple spaces to hang out indoors, plus a big deck on which we enjoyed grilling and dining. The kitchen is well-stocked. John was quickly responsive to the few small issues that came up during out stay. The house is very conveniently located a short drive from the center of Oak Bluffs, with easy access to all parts of the island. This was my first visit to MV and I absolutely loved and and would love to come back. I would definitely rent this house again.

We truly loved our stay! John was an amazing host and the house was perfect for our family. It was actually bigger than we expected. We spent quite a lot of time on the screened porch. The whole house is cozy and comfortable. The location was good too. It was a short walk to a small neighborhood beach and about 1 ish miles into town. We were able to easily walk it in about 25-30mins. There are sidewalks the whole walk which was helpful. Would definitely recommend this property!

Lovely home
John was a welcoming host and gave us a thorough tour of the home. There were many amenities that you won’t always find like beach chairs. We appreciated several different rooms for sleeping with our group of 7. Would stay there again.

Would recommend, and we look forward to staying here again in the future!

This was our second stay in Lagoon Heights. We loved it so much the first time, we decided to visit again. We love the location, close enough to everything but far enough away that you feel tucked away from the busy center of Oak Bluffs. Plenty of space for our family of 5 plus a friend. The house is as beautiful as the island itself. And John (the owner) is a great guy.
Hope to return.
