The Sea Star is an adorable, sunlit Cape within a 3-minute walk to the small beach at the saltwater Lagoon and 1 mile to Eastville Point Beach. A wonderful family vacation house on a quiet street in an ideal location to explore all the island has to offer. Minutes to downtown Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven amenities, the boat, lifeguarded beaches, golf, and conservation trails. The bike path and bus stop to town are just around the corner.
