Description

Description

Farm Pond House sits right on the shores of Farm Pond, overlooking Harthaven, Chappaquiddick, and Nantucket Sound. All painted pine floors, original rafters, beaded board walls. Four bedrooms upstairs, (California King, Queen, double, and double pullout) with full bath (and water views from the huge tub), all with high peaked ceilings and expansive water views. All bedrooms have A/C window units, though the lovely ocean breezes mean you might not need them.

Sit on the 900-square foot wraparound porch, and contemplate where you might paddle or walk to - across to Harthaven Beach to fish, or bike or walk through the Land Bank trails around Farm Pond, or stroll up the street to tennis, park, or to town beyond. Just a ten-minute walk to art galleries, shops, Tony's market, restaurants, bowling, ferries - everything you need. Five-minute walk to Inkwell Beach.

The house is beachy and cozy but with modern amenities: brand new stainless kitchen appliances (gas range) and new laundry in a separate laundry area. Living room has wide water views, a woodburning fireplace, piano, painted wood floors, and a dining area for 6-8. The Middle room/study has a cozy daybed nook (double) surrounded by bookshelves and another table for 4-6. It opens to the kitchen beyond, which has water views out all windows, lots of counter space, a pantry, etc. Huge mudroom for storing all your stuff, and a basement with rowing machine and stationary bike, and a queen pull out and twin bed.

The porch (partly covered, partly open to the sun) has dining for 6-8, seating for many more, including several places to sit and read and stare at the water for hours on end. Wide stairs for sitting and having your morning coffee or evening cocktails. Brand new high-end gas grill. Yard is large with lots of room to play. House comes with kayaks and canoe, includes all linens and towels.

Many of our tenants have been returning for many years.

    Wonderful Stay

    Stayed this past week with my extended family and it was everything we could have hoped for. Jamie has pretty much thought of everything, from beach towels, beach chairs, towels and bed sheets included, BBQ, plenty of nooks in and outside the home for quiet time to read or nap. The view from the porch was spectacular, we were able to see otters frolicking in pond at sundown along with rabbits and deer on front lawn. The owner did not micromanage the property which was a plus, she left us on our own with contact information should there be any issues with the property. I highly recommend this rental! show more show less

    Amazing place!

    This is a wonderful place to get away. The house evokes the historic charm of Oak Bluffs cottages but is updated with modern appliances, open living spaces, and an absolutely amazing wrap-around porch that accommodates lazy dozing and reading with a view, family gatherings, and everything in between! It is located a short walk from the center of town and local beaches--so close enough to take advantage of it all while just outside the bustle in ways that allow for quiet respite. The owner is wonderful as well, attentive and responsive to all needs. And the kayaks are a bonus! show more show less

    Fantastic stay!

    You will not be disappointed with this place. The views, the breezes, the charming atmosphere… it's all here. I'm already booking another stay.
    Great kitchen, bathrooms and unique layout. The porch is to die for.
    And close to town and all Oak Bluffs has to offer! Restaurants, art galleries and beaches all within a walk or short drive.

    Amazing view!
    Sitting on the front porch with coffee and watching the pond is pretty incredible. The location is perfect-- quiet but close enough to town for kids to walk to arcade. Jamie is an incredible host and very responsive. The house is an older cottage-- lots of space for everyone but expect smaller bedrooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is very well-equipped and the living room was very comfortable for watching a movie with the family.

    Storybook house and setting
    Two favorites: savouring constant breezes on front porch overlooking two bodies of water, and lying in master bed in treehouse-like setting watching the motion of leaves outside the screened door. Heavenly.

    Oak Bluffs Memorial Day weekend.
    We had terrible weather and a great time. It was great walking around Oak Bluffs and just being out and the house provided great views of the pond and ocean. It was also close enough to town that we could walk in easily, but far enough away that when we were there, we had a lot of privacy.

    Great Vacation Home!!!

    Awesome vacation home with absolutely excellent host. Easy walk to Oak Bluffs town center. Nice view of Farm Pond. Our host Jamie was available, helpful, flexible and extremely thoughtful. The house has plenty of room for a large family with a great porch, yard, and parking. It is a classic Vinyard home with character and the quirks and charm that entails. We all had fun with the canoe, kayak, and playing ping pong.

    Great location, great view

    This cottage is in a prime location--short walk to the town and beaches of Oak Bluffs and an easy drive South Beach in Edgartown and downtown Vineyard Haven. The view of Farm Pond from the front porch is just beautiful, and the porch is spacious and cool enough for the whole family to lounge away the entire day and evening. The propane grill is great--we grilled many meals. The inside of the home is charming and the beds are comfortable; the outdoor shower worked great. Jaime is a wonderful host--friendly and easy to communicate with, responsive to renters' requests and needs, and very knowledgeable about the island. show more show less

    Yes, it is a quirky place and yes, it does have a bedroom that connects to another bedroom, but it is a great location and really an amazing view. Drinks and appetizers on the porch cannot be beat and so close to town and Inkwell beach that it is well worth it. We had 7 people in the house plus two dogs and it accommodated our needs excellently. Kitchen is well stocked and we had a ball. Jamie is a great hostess. I found the whole experience heavenly!!!

    I raised my children in this house for many years, and am now one of the publishers of the MVTimes, a local community newspaper. I've been on MV for at least part of the last 35 years and think there's no better place on earth.

    What is special about this property?
    The views are just amazing. From your pillow, or from the sofa, or while you cook, or grill, or sit by the fireplace, (or soak in the tub), you can stare at birds (we have Osprey, Great Blue Herons, egrets, ducks, etc), an occasional otter in the pond, and beyond to Harthaven, Chappaquiddick's North Neck and Cape Pogue, and Nantucket Sound.
    I love the fact that you can walk out the back door and be in town in ten minutes, or at the beach in less than five, (walking or paddling a kayak or canoe) but it's so quiet here, you'll think you are up-Island. Easy bike to several bike paths, through the woods or along the beach, stroll to galleries, bbq, bowling, ferries, shops, restaurants, etc., or just never leave and stay on the porch and stare at the water, or read some of the hundreds of great books we have. For rainy days, there's a pingpong table in the basement.
    The house has all the modern amenities you'll want- brand new stainless appliances (great gas range, quiet laundry and dishwasher), but is a classic OB Victorian with beaded board walls, high raftered ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, painted wood floors. The back half of the house was once a Campground ''gingerbread house'', then became a tea room on Circuit Ave., before being moved to join the front part of the house, on one of the original Copeland plan lots. It was moved to the pondside property 100 years ago.
    I have really friendly, quiet neighbors and many of my tenants return each year.

    What is special about your town?
    Oak Bluffs is the best! There's excellent restaurants, lively harbor bar and restaurant scene, miles of trails and great fishing, biking, walking. Colorful gingerbread cottage community (400 tiny houses!). Great fishing and miles and miles and miles of white sandy beaches, with gentle entry for little kids. Lots of really unique shopping, and even a very cool bowling alley.
