Great rental for the island. We were pleasantly surprised at how close we were to the main area Circuit Avenue. It was like a 7 minute drive.We were also shocked at the additional space and additional bathroom in the basement area.We would stay here again.

First let me say the house is absolutely beautiful, very spacious, and clean. It felt like home away from home. The backyard was perfect for outdoor family breakfast and dinner. The game room was a nice touch as well. The walk from the house to circuit ave was about 10-15 minutes. We will definitely be back next year!!

Good for families or a group of friends

The house itself was great for us. The basement was a little musty. It’s location is close to town, but I wish there was a direct way to walk into town without having to walk on a main road.

We stayed at this home during a visit to Martha’s Vineyard with our two young kids. While the location was great and the host, Carrington, was responsive and polite, we were disappointed with the cleanliness and condition of the interior of the property. There’s a beautifully done porch and retaining wall making the outdoor area ideal. There were several maintenance and housekeeping issues that we reported upon arrival. Carrington acknowledged them and said they would be addressed with the team, which we appreciated.Overall, the communication was great, location was great, but the home needed improvements in terms of readiness and upkeep.

Oak Bluffs Oasis

What an incredible location! We were so excited to be just a short bike ride to OB for our 5th annual vineyard vacation. Carrington's house was perfect for us with spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. Our girls loved the outdoor shower, and the basement offered a fun play place. The porch out front was great for morning coffee and book reading. Carrington was very communicative and responsive, even helping us out on night one when my little one accidentally locked herself out of her bedroom. There was plenty of general house needs, like ample kitchen wares, beach towels, and beach chairs. We were incredibly happy with the accommodations, and will be back!

Exactly what we were looking for!

From the minute we booked his lovely home, Carrington was extremely communicative and helped ensure we had an informed and fun first visit on the island. His property is spacious and has enough room to accommodate groups of many different sizes and flavors. The property also has a surprisingly large back area with a functioning gas grill. The downstairs/basement also offered a fun arcade style video game setup which the kids loved as well as additional lounging and restroom options. Most importantly the property was very close to the main drag of Oak Bluff and we enjoyed our daily walks to Circuit for shopping and dining as well as to the Inkwell for our beach day. Overall had a great time and would not hesitate to stay again at Carrington’s property!

Property was overall very good with plenty of space for the family. My one issue was the condition of the toilet seats. The white paint was rubbed off of almost all the toilets, exposing the pressboard underneath. This is extremely unhygenic and my family had to buy toilet covers just to use the restroom. For the thousands of dollars we spent, I would have expected better hygiene and maintenance.Another side note - there is not a single full body mirror in the entire home. We had formal dinners planned and had to take pictures of ourselves just to get ready. Half of our family were women so you.can imagine that did not make them happy. Other than this - the home is nice, the basement is fun, the BBQ space was great, and the kitchen was well stocked. We would stay there again.

Five Stars Across the Board!!!

As a travel afficionado, I'm always both impressed by wonderful accommodations and and appreciative of excellent customer service! Our experience with this home (and the owner) was fantastic! First of all, this home has air conditioning, which can be hard to come by on MV! The location is PERFECT! It's super close (e.g., 3-5 minute drive) both to the beach and to all of the "action" on Circuit Avenue. And, since the home is on a quiet street, it's perfect for sleeping in, having a relaxing cup of coffee in a rocking chair on the front porch, or sitting on the back deck watching the kids play in the enormous backyard. The rooms are spacious and the home is well appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed! The kids loved the ping-pong table and arcade machine in the basement. And, it was great to have two living areas for folks to relax. Also, the office off the master bedroom was perfect for those needing a quiet place to work, read or relax. With all that said, what put this home over the top was the customer service. The owner (Carrington) is incredibly professional and super responsive! He had wonderful and thoughtful suggestions about things to do in MV. It's clear that he is committed to excellence!! I would DEFINITELY recommend this home to friends and family. And, I would most certainly stay here again! You can't go wrong with this home. Enjoy!

Pirate’s Cove is a delightful house with plenty of room for a big family or group. It has a great location and is only a 15 minute walk to town and small beach. It has a large back deck with comfortable furniture and we had several meals there, enjoying the fresh air. In summary, it’s a great choice of a vacation rental for a trip to Martha’s Vineyard!

Outstanding time at the house. Great location and the house had everything that we needed. Gas grill and a Fire pit that we used a couple of nights. Second time there and planning on returning.

Very nice, roomy rental with wonderful features. Best things about the house are the short picturesque walk to Circuit Avenue, the number of bathrooms and the beautiful outdoor back and front yards. Enjoyed my stay at the house and would use it again. Thanks Carrington.

Long Weekend

House was just as described, with a very cute back porch that we relaxed on. We honestly didn't spend a ton of time on the house, more out and about enjoying the island. The only odd thing we found was the bathtub on the front porch, but other than that it was a very nice house and stay. Thank you!

Nice family/friends getaway in East Chop

Our family enjoyed spending time together, and with friends, at this nice home on MV in the East Chop area. When we weren’t traveling up island or to Edgartown, we very much enjoyed the short walk to Circuit and jetty beach, as well as quick drive to Vineyard haven. The owner was receptive to us for any of our needs before and during our stay. We had a lovely time!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul 2023
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found the house to be nice! However, we are bit surprised that you found it smaller than expected, as this home is 2500 sq ft with a full finished basement, and much larger than most 4-bed, 4-bath homes on the Vineyard. We have a 3D virtual tour and YouTube video on our Vrbo listing to help guests visualize the living arrangements. Also, we recently made the decision to limit the capacity of the home to 8 guests, so perhaps with 9 guests in your group, a 5+ bedroom home would have better suited your needs. We'd be glad to host you again!
