With this vacation being our first family overnight trip to Martha's Vineyard, we could not have been more pleased. This home is beautiful, full of charm and an authentic Vineyard feel. The history surrounding Solera was heart warming and it made us all feel right at home. We are a family of 6 with 4 teenagers. This location is ideal, with a short walk along the ocean to Oaks Bluff, and a simple 10-15 minute drive to Edgartown. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and would rent again and again. Our thanks to the owners for all they have done to make this rental ideal! show more show less

I cannot say enough good things about Solera. The house has been remodeled and decorated with great attention to detail, keeping the charming feel of a Vineyard cottage while providing every upgrade you could imagine. The kitchen was large and easy to use, with a grill on the back deck. Our party was 4 adults and 4 children and we had more than enough room. The beds were very comfortable and with high quality linens (something you don't always find on the Vineyard). We spent plenty of time on the front porch or back deck enjoying Vineyard mornings and evenings, with the ocean just down the block. The proximity to the beach and the town center of Oak Bluffs makes the location of this home unbeatable. One of the highlights of the property is the fully stocked shed: bikes, sand toys, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, anything you need. What a luxury not to have to drag it all with us! I would recommend this house to anyone and hope I am able to enjoy it again in future years. show more show less

We stayed at Rick's house in 2017. The house was unbelievable. It had everything we could ever need and was very clean and well decorated. The location was ideal. We could walk or bike to town or the beach. We hope to rent the house again next summer!

Solera offers all of the beauty and convenience that a family could wish for in Oak Bluffs. The home amenities are top notch. It's clear that the owners take pride in making their home very comfortable for their guests. Also, this property is located on a lovely, quiet street that is super close to the beach. What a great vacation!

Perfect house, perfect location, perfect owners!

When my daughter said she wanted to get married on Martha's Vineyard - I knew the house would set the tone for the week!

We have stayed at the hostel twice, a B & B, a cottage in the campground, a house in Vineyard Haven, the Clarion and now Solera! We have worked our way up to perfection! Excellence is in the details. The attention to detail at Solera is amazing! I truly don't know what could be done to make it any better! The pictures listed don't do it justice - seeing is believing! Everything is high quality, top grade from one end of the house to the other. They outdid themselves when it came to decorating. There are not enough words...

We had cars - but for those using the bus system, the bus will pick up/drop off at the end of the street. It is an easy walk from the ferry and downtown.

Many amenities, including bikes, golf clubs, fishing gear and note that top quality linens are included. That is a huge plus! I loved the porch, very inviting! The upstairs balcony was great for quiet time and reflection.

The Solera was a great place to spend with our daughter before she got married, we will always have such wonderful memories!

Thank you, Rick & Chris, for making your beautiful home available to us! We truly enjoyed our stay! I'm ready to go back!!

We have been renting in Oak Bluffs for 7 years. Solera was by far the best property. Our family enjoyed the proximity to town. Comfortable set-up, central air!!, and spacious yard. Every night before dinner we played volleyball or badminton in the yard, and after dinner games on the porch. Not to mention the 9 burner gas grill that made cooking so easy! The kids easily walked to Back Door Donuts almost every night. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable with more than adequate bathrooms. It was great to have linens and towels supplied. We look forward to returning next summer!! show more show less

I have rented summer homes on Martha's Vineyard for many summers, and I have to say Solera was the very best of all for so many reasons. Location is everything, and my house guests and I all appreciated how close we were to the beach and to the many restaurants and activities of Circuit Avenue. I could walk to my favorite restaurant in 8 minutes!

The house is beautifully appointed and meticulously clean, both inside and out. It is so comfortable - maintaining the charm and history you expect on the Vineyard but with contemporary amenities. We felt like we had all of the conveniences of our home.

Here are just a few of the amazing spaces I grew to love about Solera during my 2 week stay:
-The kitchen. It is a cook's dream, with every appliance and utensil needed (and even a spice drawer!) to create amazing food experiences. The dining area is large, beautiful and well lit with natural light. We spent many mornings on the spacious deck right off of the dining area.
-The master bedroom. Spacious, airy, with its own balcony, where I sat many mornings to watch the spectacular sunrises over the sea. Amazing breezes on the balcony! The ensuite master bath is huge and modern, and I felt like I was in a luxury hotel, not a summer rental.
-The front porch. The breezes from the sea made this the choice spot of my house guests. The furniture is so comfortable that it was easy to spend an entire morning or afternoon there reading, or talking with family.

The owners have taken care of every detail - from the luxury linen to the plush bath towels. They even have beach towels, chairs, and bikes for use, and if we weren't on the porch, we were biking all around MV!

As Tina Tuner sang, Solera was "...simply the best. Better than all the rest." I can't wait to return! show more show less

We arrived on MV ready to celebrate our niece's wedding! We were excited to pull up to our rental, but had so many other items to think about that we did not think much about where we would be staying. We arrived at Solera and were blown away by the beauty and charm. The house was spotless and meticulously maintained. It had the character of the Vineyard, but with all the modern amenities would could have asked for. The main room was large and inviting, the front porch had a great breeze and was a fun place to gather as was the back deck. The kitchen was beautiful, spacious, clean, and very well equipped.

All the bedrooms were airy, adorable, clean and beautiful. The bathrooms were also beautiful and very well appointed. The master bedroom was stunning - the porch off the master had unbelievable views and breezes. We only wish we could have spent more time enjoying the views and spaces in this beautiful home.

The proximity to the beach and town were amazing. We walked and also grabbed some of the bikes provided to explore the Vineyard.

The only disappointment was leaving. It truly was an exceptional vacation because we were able to stay at Solera! We will be return customers for sure and next time for longer than a weekend!

Thank you! show more show less

Our family, including our 2 year old and our 4 year old, stayed at Solera in July 2015. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Rick and Chris--- what a lovely couple. They really let us "make ourselves at home." They have thought of every detail, which was much appreciated. (We didn't want our vacation home to be lesser in quality than our actual home.) This place is top-notch... it has all of the amenities we could have needed! Solera is the perfect OB vacation home: close to everything, yet far enough away to have a peaceful experience without the noise of the OB hot spots. We walked to Circuit Ave. and Ocean Park every day (we put the kids in a wagon- I recommend this for the toddlers).

It was important to us to find a house that has a yard for the kids to play in, which is hard to find in OB. This proved to be an important feature of Solera. We spent every evening having a glass of wine on the beautiful front porch. Having the two parking spaces made it easy to pile in our Jeep and head to other parts of the Island. * Note: we rented a crib for our two year old which was very convenient. Thank you, Rick and Chris, for making our vacation perfect! show more show less
