We had a great stay here! The hosts were extremely quick to respond and helpful throughout the entire stay. The house is very clean and has an amazing yard/deck spaces for group hang outs. Location is super convenient and walkable to downtown Oak Bluffs. Would love to come back here again!

The house was everything and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. The only issue we had was with the gentleman who was handling maintenance. Had a rude encounter with him. We didn’t know where to put the trash and had tried to find the trash cans, but we couldn’t. Come to find out the trash cans were way down the back driveway. We didn’t have a car and didn’t realize that. The cans were somewhat hidden by some shrubs. He was rude about us not knowing where the trash cans were. Other than that, a very excellent experience.

Cora, thank you so much for the kind words and for the five stars — we're thrilled you loved the house and found us responsive. That means a lot. We're sorry about the mix-up with the bins. They're tucked down at the far end of the driveway (and a bit screened by the shrubs), and we'll take another look at how we flag that so it's impossible to miss for future guests. We also appreciate you mentioning the maintenance interaction — that's not the experience we want anyone to have, and we'll follow up on our end to make sure every touchpoint matches the rest of the stay. Thanks again for choosing the house. You'd be welcome back anytime.

Ted and Joelle’s home was a fantastic place to gather for our multi-generational family celebration. We had a large group with five couples and the home is ideal for hanging out together as well as finding space for solitude. Some highlights: a large yard to play in, a wrap around porch with lots of seating, a cozy hammock for reading, a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed to cook large family meals! The home is perfectly located for peace and quiet while still being very close to town and all that Oak Bluffs has to offer. Ted was great with communication and always replied promptly. I think the best review is that everyone in our family didn’t want to leave and is already plotting our return!

Comfortable House and Great Hosts

One of the most relaxing and comfortable places we have ever stayed in on the island. Lots of privacy for everyone and felt comfortable the whole time. Would recommend for large groups! The hosts were great and communicated everything to us in a timely manner.

Fabulous house in fun area

Perfect place for our family of 10. Everyone had their own space yet there was room to congregate & play games. The wrap around porch was delightful as well as the large table in the yard for eating al fresco. We hired a professional photographer & there were beautiful spots all over the porch & yard. We would definitely choose this house again!

Amazing home with so much history.

Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice! It's way more gorgeous in person, and the house is super spacious, especially with that wrap-around porch. There are tons of chairs and a table outside for grilling, plus a hammock for two. And that outdoor cedar shower with the awesome rain shower head? Total hit with everyone. We love Ted and his family! The history of the home is spectacular. We held game night outside at the table with umbrella. Our grandchildren played Soccer and tossed football on the side yard. The tree swings were very comfortable and if you moved someone jump in it. All the rooms have a bathroom and balcony to enjoy. The bus stop is across the street, free and runs every 15 minutes, don't be late. Otherwise, it's a short walk to town. We are definitely returning to this home.Also, the kitchen has a Kitchenaide Mixer which I prepared 2 cakes during our trip. We loved the Breville Coffee & Tea Maker and Toaster. We ordered the toaster for our home too.Can't wait to return. 🤩

We stayed in this lovely house with friends for a week long getaway. The hosts, Ted and Amanda, were extremely responsive and friendly. We would reach out from time to time and they were very quick to reply. We had five couples staying in the house and we were very comfortable in the space. All of the bedrooms were a good size with their own bathrooms. The kitchen is rustic, but also a good size so between that and the barbecue, we were able to cook everything we wanted for this group. There’s lots of little sitting areas outside, so we did spend a lot of time enjoying those. There’s a large dining table inside and outside that both comfortably sat our group. The home sits on a main road so there was some road noise, but that did not bother us. The benefit to that was that the bus line drives right by the house and it will take you all over the island. There are a few official bus stops, but as long as you’re in a safe area which this house is, you can simply raise your hand as the bus approaches and it will stop for you. This made it very easy for our large group to travel all over the island anytime we wanted. We thought we would need to rent a car and at the end of the day we never needed one. A huge bonus is the proximity to Oak Bluffs. We walked down to town several times a day. It was a 15 to 20 minute walk. A 5 min walk from the house there is a little convenience store with a wine section that rivals any in Napa Valley. We recommend this property!

The location was UNBEATABLE - we all walked to and from town as we wanted. The house felt like a home and you can tell it has been well taken care of for years. Uniquely, it has a HUGE side yard that made for incredible fun as we grilled, used the fire pit, ate outside, etc. And the porches - HAVE MERCY - we spent so much time on the porches. The air conditioning was necessary and so wonderful. Additionally, the fact that the owner provides the sheets & towels was fantastic (many MV rentals do not). Each bedroom has a bathroom which is key! I personally slept in the back room on the sofa bed and, unbelievably, it was quite comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes and spices you could want. The washer and dryer were needed and helpful.I rent homes across the world as a professional tour guide/small group tours. I would rent this house again without even blinking. The owners are responsive and so helpful!
