Step Back in Time
If you like historic homes, this is a hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood. It reminded us of what it would have been like to have a Vineyard "cottage" back in the day. The owners have done a great job maintaining the historic charm. They've updated appliances and the outdoor shower was amazing. Sitting on the porch was equally pleasant. This is a quiet, no frills place, with lots of nooks and crannies to discover. Be sure the read the book about the property. It's not ideal for little, little kids but ours were 6, 8, and 11 and did just fine! Thank you for letting us experience this step back in time.

Love this house
If you're looking for a sleek, modern property, look elsewhere. But if you like quirky old historic places with a laid-back vibe, this is your place. The house is clean, shady and private. Easy walk to town. Beds are comfy and check in is a breeze. This was our second stay, and I would love to come back again!

Spacious, well-equipped, classic cottage
This house had everything we needed and more. The breezy porch and the window AC units in the bedrooms kept us cool. On the two very hot days, we turned on the downstairs AC units, and they worked great. We loved the roomy outdoor shower, newer washer/dryer, and bright kitchen. Also, the owners provided the things that I always (just in case) pack for rentals, from dish soap to paper towels to a nightlight in the bathroom. It's rustic but clean. The staircase is a little steep and narrow, which is something to consider if bringing small kids or elderly guests. The East Chop location was what we were looking for, and it's an easy walk to town. This historic cottage was a great home base for a wonderful vacation.

Excellent Stay in Oak Bluffs
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Peter and Jon's home. The house itself was so charming and comfortable, with welcomed amenities such as AC's in all of the bedrooms. The home is rich with history, which added to the experience. The wraparound porch makes for a fantastic happy hour spot too! The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors were friendly. It's a beautiful 15 minute walk into town where you can eat, drink, shop, swim, etc. Peter and Jon were also so responsive leading up to the trip which was very helpful. My group and I had an unforgettable weekend, and would definitely love to stay again!
