Great home in an awesome location. Even better than the pictures and description. Enjoy all that OB has to offer then get away to the quiet of your beach cottage with a less than 10 min walk. Laurel and Emilie were wonderful hosts. We have been coming to MV for years but this was our first time staying in OB - it hopefully won't be our last.

Dear Laurel and Emilie, thank you so much for providing such a beautiful, spacious home to bring our family together. The home offered a well appointed kitchen, comfortable seating for family gatherings, bedrooms that offered cozy restful nights, even lighting that appealed to all ambient choices. The large windows and deck were magnificent for viewing the open skyline, stars and moon. The location is a convenient walk to all the local shops, restaurants and businesses. We could not have hoped for a better spot. We look forward to returning again. Dennie and Hugh

We normally stay in a 4 million dollar house on Chappy. Do to a mix up in scheduling we missed the opportunity this year. I can tell you that this was a serendipitous event. The house on Chappy is an indoor-outhouse compared to this house. The most well kept rental we have stayed in in the past 8 years. Thanks.

this house was wonderful from beginning to end. First time on the vineyard for our family and it was in a wonderful location. quiet , but within walking distance to the beach and oak bluffs. The house was filled with bothinteresting and very functional items. appliances terrific. they even had some toys for our little 18 month old and bikes for us older folk. The only thing i wish i would have known, is that you have to make reservations on the ferry, if taking a car way in advance. Not withstanding some anxiety around that, the ferry was easy enough to get a reservation once i understood the waitlist process. Laurel couldn’t have bern kinder, when my grandson pushed an alarm and I called her by mistake. I would tell people to run not walk to rent this incredible property.

This property was very special. It’s a very well maintained cottage with very nice upgrades. The views of the pond and ocean out the large windows and from the second floor deck were beautiful (great moonrises while we were there). We were able to stay without a car using the bus and walking but a car is preferable if you wish to explore the whole island.

We, as a family have been coming to MV for twenty years. Always stayed in nice places but this property was extra special. Very accurately described. In a quiet area. Very clean. Looks recently renovated with high end kitchen and plenty of room. The house also comes really well equipped with kitchen utensils, CD's, DVD's, games, 3 bikes, 2 kayaks, a canoe, etc. Views of the pond and ocean in the distance made it special. Especially from the second story deck.

We loved the house. The location is fabulous, and the amenities are fantastic. For example, you know you are kitchen for serious cooking when there is a cutting board dedicated to onions and garlic!
