Perfect Fall Weekend

We arrived in Oak Bluffs to celebrate our anniversary. We booked at the last minute because of the 80 degree weather. The location was ideal, right on the main street, but quiet enough for our two kids to sleep. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony that overlooked the street, sipping Corona's and wishing summer would not end. The apartment was spacious, recently renovated and very clean. It was easy to access the unit and the owner was easy to contact. We loved exploring the vineyard- edgartown, sunset at menemsha beach, carousel in town, gayhead and any beach we could find.

To ANYONE who is thinking about staying here,,,, DO IT!!! I stayed for the week of September 11th, 2011, to celebrate my 56th birthday. It was right in town,perfect for having no car. I could walk everywhere, and took the bus system to everywhere in the island. My stay was perfect!! I stayed in Unit #1. Wonderful light, comfortable bed, great kitchen, local grocery store across the way. Sweet balcony to people watch. The apartment was really clean and Larry was really, really helpful whenever I needed him. Always answered the phone, or got back to me right away. There is a great Thai place down the street towards the ocean. I'm really picky about where I stay, and I couldn't have asked for a better place. Do not hesitate to stay at one of Larry's apartments!! Truly, they are gems!! And so is he!! Nancy Lee Melmon, Sedona, AZ

3rd Floor Arcade Apartment
Guest: Kate C.
Date of Stay: 07/16/11
Review Submitted: 08/18/11
We had a great time at the Historic Arcade apartments. The unit was clean and close to everything. It's less than a 5 minute walk to the town beach and ferry terminal and there are tons of restaurants just downstairs. It's also only a few minutes walk to the harbor where you can eat, get drinks, or rent a bike, car, etc. We stayed on the third floor and you could barely hear the bar downstairs but as soon as you turn the AC on, you don't hear it at all. So convenient and reasonably priced, you really can't get a better deal if you're looking to be right in the middle of town.

Arcade Rental on Martha"s Vineyard

Review Submitted: 08/08/11
If you like to be right in the middle of the excitement, this is definitely the rental for you. We stayed in the "Penthouse" located on the third floor. The stairs were not a problem for us, but could be if you have trouble walking. We loved the 2 porches, and we cooked dinner using the barbque grill. This is a great location for touring Oak Bluffs. Parking was a bit of a problem, but we were able to find parking by the gazebo every night. It's a short walk to the apartment, but you get to pass back Door Donuts which serves hot donuts at midnight so it was not much of a problem. The kitchen was well stocked even with soap, paper towels, some spices and even some beer and wine was left in the refrigerator! I Make your ferry reservations early. I was glad we had a car to tour the island, although there is public transportation and lots of rental cars, bikes and motorcycles. The island is much bigger than I thought. I would definitely recommend this rental for people who like to be in the middle of the fun.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers.

First of all I never post reviews. Ever. We were so happy with the place I emailed the landlord our first day to book it for the same week next year. I go to MV for a summer vacation every year and I finally found the perfect rental. You cannot pick a better location. You are ON Circuit Ave, huge balcony overlooking the street. The apartment is immaculate, much larger than I expected and has all the modern comforts you have in your own home. Never been more satisfied with a rental and I look forward to renting again.

What a perfect trip to MV!!! This place was so perfect for us!! No need to have a car if you stay here, just rent bikes and you can ride all over the island!! This apt (1) is nicely updated and clean, with a great deck to watch the people below on Circuit Ave. We will be back!! Thanks!

The arcade building apartment was a wonderful place to stay for the week! The apartment was beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Two wonderful decks with a great view of the water and Oak Bluffs made this a wonderful hang out/ relaxing spot. The location is also superb for someone who likes to be in the heart of the action and do some people watching. The apartment is in walking distance of dozens of great shops and restaurants as well as the beach, pier, and free parking. The owner was extremely accommodating and friendly. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you :)

We loved being right in town. It's really convenient to be right across the street from the grocery store. We stayed for two nights and didn't bring a car - we just walked a few blocks from the dock to the rental, and then caught the bus to the neighboring towns. Our nine year old son recommends Mad Martha's highly. For a fun activity with kids, check out the alpaca farm.
