About this property

Downtown Oak Bluffs, short walk to beach & town; NOW AVAIL - 7/25-8/1. DISCOUNT!

Location, location, location. This cozy 3 bedroom house is located steps from downtown on a family neighborhood side street. Stroll among the Gingerbread houses, or into town for groceries, dining and fun...or pack a tote and stroll to the end of our street to Inkwell beach. Everything is within an easy walking distance, including the ferry, a great playground, fishing pier, lots of diverse restaurants and night spots, Flying Horses carousel, churches and shuttle buses that can take you around the island.

Transferable ferry reservations may be available to guests (at same price we paid) for certain weeks of the summer. However, everything is so handy, you might not need a car. If you do want your vehicle on the island, there is off-street parking for two cars in front of the house.

This quaint home features a living room with flat-screen TV, comfy sectional sofa, downstairs hardwood flooring, downstairs bathroom with shower, and 3 bedrooms and a small half bath upstairs. Queen bed in the master, double bed in the middle room, and 3 twins in the "kids' room". The kids' room also has a TV in case you need to find a space for them to go and entertain themselves while the adults unwind after a day on the beach. There's also a TV in the master bedroom. There's a private hot/cold outdoor shower off the back porch too. The back patio features a canopy in case it showers during your stay - it's a pleasant place to have meals, play games or do a little bit of work in case it rains. BBQ on the private back patio or relax on the front porch and say Hi to the neighbors as they stroll by.

Window air conditioners and fans, but for those cooler spring/fall evenings, there is electric heat upstairs and down.

Perfect for a family or a romantic getaway. This is a weekly Saturday-Saturday rental property however 4 night minimum stays may be considered during during parts of the fall.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
