The entire booking, checkin and check-out process was easy and the proprietor was responsive and reasonable, seemed like a nice guy. I wiped down the surfaces as I usually do when I stay away from home, and everything came up clean. The house is well maintained and organized, spacious, comfortable for several people. Oh, and the deck, that was the spot morning noon and night! Quick walk/drive into town, beach, ferry. I can't wait to go back!!!

This was my first rental through VRBO and it was a pleasant experience. My only complaint was that the description listed 2 bathrooms in the search but its actually one bathroom and an outdoor shower (which gets amazing reviews but none of us used it). Bill was great and very responsive to any questions we had. There were 4 of us celebrating a birthday and the house was the perfect size and the one bathroom was not an issue at all. The town of Oak Bluffs quickly became our favorite and was within walking distance. Although the home could benefit from some updates, it provided a wonderful setting and location for our first trip to Martha's Vineyard. Thanks Bill!

Bill’s house was exactly as advertised. It’s a good house with lots of space for sleeping all members of your party. The outdoor sitting area is equipped with a canopy and furniture which is really nice to relax on. It’s about a mile from the center of town, about a 20 minute walk. The house is nice and was clean, however it was a bit dated without many frills. Bringing our sheets and towels was fairly difficult since it’s only possible to get to the island via ferry, so it’s just a lot to lug around. Would have been nice if they were included. My only other recommendation would be for the host to include paper towels, toilet paper, and maybe a few k cups. We were only left with about a half roll of toilet paper, which was just something else we had to go out to find. Host was clear with check in instructions, and check in was seamless.

Nice quiet neighborhood but easy travel to anywhere you want to explore on the island. Wish it been a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the deck relaxation area. Outside shower a bonus!

This is a delightful home in close proximity to Oak Bluff

The home has a lovely outdoor space and is within walking distance of Oak Bluffs. The interior of the house is small but we knew this from the description. Some of it is dated, particularly the carpets, bathroom and kitchen but it is nicely decorated with a beach vibe. Our biggest complaint is that the kitchen and bathroom were not clean. Crumbs under the toaster, old coffee in the coffee pot, dirty bathroom floor, etc. If it was cleaner, we would be happy to give it more stars.

Great little place with a private deck off the back. Cozy and great for a small family. Wonderful, kind hosts.

We were visiting a family friend for a long weekend. The place is cozy and was very warm to start but the owner was very responsive and helped us through that. Walking distance to downtown OB, which is great in the summer when parking is very tough.

We had a great time in Oak Bluffs for the 4th of July! Bill was very helpful and extremely responsive, and his house is a perfect getaway spot. Highly recommend!

This home was perfect for our friend group who were getting together for the first time post-COVID. It's a 17-minute walk from the Oak Bluffs dock area and Inkwell Beach, which was great with the weather we had. The home has 1 bathroom, with an additional shower outside (this was a great help and everyone who used it raved) - wish there was another bathroom but we made it work! Bill, the host, was exceptionally communicative. He answered my questions beforehand and made it clear that he'd be available throughout should we need anything! I would certainly book here again!

Great location in a residential neighborhood. A great half mile walk to town past gingerbread houses. We enjoyed spending time on the big deck.

The house was exactly as advertised and close to downtown. Would stay again

Great location, Bill was very communicative!

We loved our stay here! Walking distance to everything in oak bluffs made it very convenient. We loved being able to come home and hang out by the fire pit! We would live to stay here again!!

Great place in a convenient location on Martha’s Vineyard. Plenty of space to relax and unwind.

THE COTTAGE WAS NICE. THE PICTURE ON VRBO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE PROPERTY. THE SHRUBS ARE MUCH BIGGER SO WE DROVE ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE WE REALIZED WHICH HOUSE IT WAS. IT IS TECHNICALLY WALKING DISTANCE FROM TOWN BUT IT IS FAR AND IF YOU HAD A FEW PACKAGES IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT. THE HOUSE IS WELL MAINTAINED. LOTS OF FURNITURE. COMFORTABLE OVERALL. GOOD PRICE BUT LOTS OF EXTRA FEE IT SEEMED COMPARED TO THE OTHER HOUSE WE RENTED. WOULD RENT AGAIN. WOULD HAVE LIKED BIKES. INTIALLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH OWNER BUT ONCE HE BECAME AWARE OF US HE WAS VERY HELPFUL.

Great experience. Will recommend.

We were on the island for a wedding. There were 7 of us and we had more than enough room. The house was very clean. The yard and outdoor shower were great. Bill was very accommodating. Very conveniently located to town.

Very pleased with this property. The location was great (10-15 minute walk to down town Oak Bluffs). The house itself was very clean and comfortable. The large deck and backyard were perfect. To top it off Bill was a great host! Will be staying again for sure!

Six of us stayed at Bill’s house for 4 days in late August. House location was convenient, about a 10-15 mins walk to the main road with Summercamp and Nancy’s. The outdoor area is very nice, with large deck/gazebo, hammock and amazing outdoor shower (great water pressure, lots of space). Bill’s brother was also there to greet us and went above and beyond to welcome us to the Vineyard, driving us into town and letting us borrow a couple bikes for the weekend. The inside of the house is a bit dated, but clean overall. There’s no AC, which was uncomfortable when it hit over 80 degrees on a couple days. However, I think this is typical of homes in the area and the house does have lots of fans to help cool it down. Also keep in mind you’ll have to supply your own linens and towels since they are not provided. If you’d rather not pack them there are places in town/ at the airport that you can rent from. Some updates to modernize would be nice but at the price we paid this was definitely a great deal. Bill is also super responsive/helpful, which is great. All in all, the house met our needs and we really enjoyed our stay in Martha’s Vineyard. We’ll be back!

This house fit all of our needs. Although we have traveled to MV several times before, this was the first time that we took our children. The house was nice, clean and cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were able to create long lasting memories with our children. This is truly one of islands best kept, AFFORDABLE secrets!!

We enjoyed our stay a great deal. Good location and fantastic value. We look forward to future visits

This house has plenty of room and is located right next to down town Oak Bluffs. It was very clean and had very comfortable beds! We only stayed for one night but enjoyed the large yard and updated living room. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay on the Vinyard.
