Victorian Waterview Cottage - 500 feet from the beach
Oak Bluffs, Historic Copeland District Vacation Rental - ID 2436

Another great vacation week at this home! The location is great! We love to walk to the beach and then up to town. Everything you need is right there. The house is cozy and comfortable. The view is great from the porch which is where we spend our mornings having coffee and our nights drinking wine. Everything you could need is supplied and Ken and Arlene are always available if you need them. Looking forward to next year!

Thank you for a lovely time at your home. Although the weather wasn't the best, we had a great time visiting on the porch. The location was ideal for walks into town and to the beach. Looking forward to next year!

We loved our stay at the cottage and the location is second to none! The home is comfortable and well-equipped for the beach and cooking! Great location and views. A perfect Vineyard retreat, and the owners and neighbors are very friendly and welcoming. Didn't want to leave! Thanks!!

There were many things we liked about your cottage, but we agree that the best-place-to-be award goes to the front porch. Great place to relax, read, catch a good breeze, look at the water and people watch. The cottage location is perfect: 2 minute walk to a sandy beach and 10 minutes to shopping in town. The best of both worlds. Thank you.

Our stay at Arlene and Ken's home was perfect! Their house was clean and comfortable, everything we could possibly need was there. Our favorite spot was the front porch, lovely comfortable wicker furniture and a view of the Nantucket Sound. The owners are very friendly and did everything to make us feel at home. We had the good fortune to spend some time with them and wish we could have them as neighbors back home! We hope to spend another vacation at this lovely home. Terry and Vinnie

Dear Arlene and Ken,
Thank you for another special year at your cottage by the sea.Your cottage is so comfy and relaxing we feel like it is our "home away from home".We especially love our 5 o'clock sits with Brady and you and neighbors.
Have another great summer ....and we will see you again next year. '.

Merci beacoup! we really appreciate .Thanks very much --we appreciated sharing your house it is a very nice place to live. It was great and we really enjoyed the place and the comfort of your warm house.It was also very nice talking to you each day. See you soon we will be back for sure.

Ken and Arlene..Thank you for another wonderful vacation week.....Always enjoy naps on the front porch and all the comfort and relaxation and the great people around us.All the best ...

Dear Arlene and Ken,
Thank you for sharing your home with us again.Sitting on the porch with my morning cup of tea is my favorite part of vacation....or is sitting on the porch in the evening with a glass of wine my favorite? Anyway we love your home and the Vineyard. Hope to see you next year.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home so that others can enjoy this beautiful island. We had a great time . ..We especially enjoyed the front porch.

Thank you, Ken and Arlene, for sharing your beautiful cottage with our family! Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee each morning while looking over at the ocean was a perfect start to the day!! With the beach and town just a short walk away, it was by far the best vacation home we have stayed in! The cottage was lovely, and we especially loved reading the original deed to the house in the stairwell!! Such amazing history! We are excited to rent your home again next year!

Thank you, Ken and Arlene, for letting us stay in your home. We had a wonderful week, It couldn't have been better. I've vacationed many times and have spent two summers on the Vineyard, and this is the first home I want to and will rent again. Your home is very clean, comfortable and lovely. Home away from home. My favorite part of the day was waking up and having my coffee on the porch or by the water. Didn't want to leave and can't wait to come back.

Our family had a wonderful time at this home. The house is well equipped for a family vacation. We loved sitting on the front porch and having a view of Nantucket Sound. The house is well equipped for a family vacation (bring your own corkscrew, though!). We loved this cottage so much that we have already booked our vacation there for next summer! Arlene and Ken are good landlords! Recommend this cottage without exception.

I have been staying at this charming house in Oak Bluffs for many years. For me, staying at this house is a summer time tradition. The house is perfectly located for me - close enough to downtown Oak Bluffs that you can walk but still far enough away that you can enjoy some serenity. A stone's throw from the water too. The house has all the amenities but for me one of my favorite things is the wonderful front porch - where I can witness the neighbors walking their dogs and people beginning their bike rides. Ken and Arlene are wonderful hosts, and the neighbors are all wonderful. All make you feel welcome into this home for your vacation.

Arlene and Ken.
As always we enjoyed staying in your lovely home.. See you next year. Andy and Yolanda

Our family had a very restful vacation.I hate to see this wonderful, idyllic week come to an end. Loved, loved the porch,the view from the backyard patio,and the short walk to the beach. Lasting memories were created. Wonderful location.
