Listed with the local historical society, this rustic, 1870s gingerbread-inspired home is all about location location location and embracing a simpler time. Boasting two decks and a front porch, pick your favorite spot for some cozy lounging. The second-floor deck in particular is perfect for sunbathing or simply gazing at the sea of stars at night. Meanwhile, the back deck is ideal for after-beach activities thanks to the outdoor shower and gas grill. Wash the sand off from your beach expedition earlier in the day, throw something on the grill, and reflect on the day's adventures while the food sears to perfection.

After enjoying your mornings at home taking in the sights and cooking breakfast, you can begin your adventures. Oak Bluffs is known as the busiest and most exciting part of the island. There are hundreds of restaurants and shops to jump in and out of as well as miles of beaches to explore! After you've worn yourself out and you need to head home to recharge. Your holiday house offers all the charm and delight you need. Though it has received several upgrades such as a new air-conditioner, heat splits, and a new septic system, your retreat effectively serves as a snapshot of the past.

This home is only a short walk (.5 miles) from the Oak Bluffs ferry, making it an easy destination to reach once on the island. Oak Bluffs' main street, Circuit Avenue, is .4 miles away where you can find island favorites such as Nancy's and Lookout! The house is also only three miles away from the Vineyard Haven Ferry Terminal if you enter the island from this port! There are dozens of beaches to choose from on the island but the closest one is Marinelli Beach just .7 miles away!

It took us over an hour to get into the house, and with a tainted feeling - and in the dark - our first impression was not great. However, it didn't take us long to call this our quaint 1800's vaca home! The only disappointment is that it was advertised with a coin laundry; turned out that was in town! Also, with a little $$ and TLC, this could make a MUCH better first impression.

Nice Location
We enjoyed our stay. Charming cottage just close enough for lovely walk to the harbor and far enough to be peaceful. Epitome of cottage experience. We would stay here again happily.

Great location.
This home is in a great location walking distance to downtown oaks bluff. The home is very old and in need of some repair but I love older homes and found it charming. The home was clean and communication was easy. Kitchen has necessities to cook although we mostly ate out. Kids liked the outdoor shower. Beds are only double size so we had to bring an air mattress as there were 6 of us. Overall we had a great time and would stay in this home again.

Pictures are misleading
The property is pretty rundown and not well taken care off. Hosts don’t provide much. No coffee, 1 tube of shampoo for 5 people for three days… Poorly supplied kitchen. Window locks downstairs are broken so didn’t feel safe. Good location.

MICE DAMAGE
Kitchen was contaminated with, and infested with MICE. Vacasa Property Management is aware. I sent photos of the mouse droppings in the drawers. We had to wash our dishes BEFORE and after use. New droppings each morning. It was not a cleaning issue necessarily. We spoke with the cleaning lady. She was worried she would “get in trouble”. It’s not her fault the property manager isn’t addressing the invasive mice. It is a pest issue. No evidence of traps or rodent management was visible. One of our water bottles was damaged by mouse chewing in the kitchen overnight. No dishwasher. Also a porch rocker arm was loose and broken. A dresser drawer was broken. While at the rental, I had a nine minute telephone conversation with Vacasa Trini @ Customer Service June 26 @ 9:39am EST. She said she was appalled and could see the photos I had submitted via their App. Trini said she would have someone call me and that I would likely receive compensation. I told her the house is a public safety hazard and should not be rented until the rodent infestation is resolved. I gave it till today, Wednesday at 5:38pm EST. A full 3 business days for a response. Here I am, with NO personal response from Vacasa, I did receive an automated review query via email.
