Oceanfront - steps to beach, walk to town & ferry!
Oak Bluffs Vacation Rental - ID 31591

This home has truly become part of our family's summer tradition. We've been coming back for five years now, and each visit feels just as special as the first. The location is perfect—an easy walk into Oak Bluffs and right across from Inkwell Beach. We spend hours on the wonderful wraparound porch, soaking up the views and making memories together. The house is comfortable (the AC is a big plus in the summer heat!) and always feels welcoming. Most of all, the owner is wonderful—responsive, thoughtful, and a joy to work with. We're so grateful to have found this place and look forward to continuing our tradition for years to come.

So happy to stay again this year in Laurie's beautiful home. Location can't be beat, short walk to town and feet from the bike path and the ocean. Her home is immaculate and comfortable. We love having our coffee across the street from the ocean and grilling on the porch at night. Looking forward to it already for next year!

We had a great week again this year! Beautiful, comfortable, and clean home with water views from almost every window. Loved morning coffee on the porch looking out over the ocean and evenings grilling with that same amazing view. Such a short walk to town and so close the bike path for serene morning runs. Laurie is a pleasure to rent from. Our group can't wait to go back!

My husband and three kids have stayed at this property multiple times now, and we love it. The latest was a short getaway in the shoulder-season, but we've also stayed in the height of summer (July and August). We want to return, and with so few homes truly updated, and ocean facing, feeling open and not fussy, with a king bed and central AC, and within walking distance to everything you need in Oak Bluffs, I'm almost hesitant to post this review. But our stay has been so consistently lovely I'll risk the competition. This home is a true find. The views are, as described, endless. The owners could not be easier to deal with, communicative with tips in advance of our arrival, easy to reach once we were there, and extra-helpful if they happened to be on-island (but very respectful of our privacy -- they want the home to feel like it's yours, and it definitely feels like "our place" on Martha's Vineyard now). The photos are accurate. If anything, they can't really capture the expanse of water views from most rooms of the house. Like most of the houses in OB, it has fewer bathrooms than we have at home, but it wasn't a problem for us at all. The outdoor shower was everyone's favorite, and even with nine of us there at one point, we had no issues. There's so much to do on the island, and in Oak Bluffs, but you'll want to spend most of your time relaxing on the porch with friends and family, taking in the ocean or wandering the short stroll down to the best part of Inkwell Beach.

My extended family stayed at Cutty's View for a week in June 2021. The home (and guest house) were impeccably clean upon arrival, and were well-stocked in anything you would need for a week's vacation.

The owner (Laurie) was fantastic to work with, both prior to the stay and was happy to answer the few questions we had upon arrival. The location could not be better - a short 10 minute walk to downtown. The porch is unbelievable - comfy furniture, and wonderful water views. The mattresses all seem new, and were very comfortable. The kitchen was top of the line (both the appliances and the pots/pans/dishes).

My favorite part...the outdoor shower - it's fantastic - great water pressure & good location.

I highly recommend this rental - you will not be disappointed!

This house is the perfect getaway, and friendly, quaint Oak Bluffs is now our favorite part of MV. We woke to tranquil sunrises every day and caught golden sunsets at the Oak Bluffs pier most evenings. In between, the house was the perfect launching point for bike rides, beach trips and sightseeing all over the island. Laurie has created a home with just the right touch of casual elegance, comfort and convenience, that we at once felt both indulgent and at home. It truly was our dream vacation home, and, for a neatnik like me, I appreciated especially that is so clean and well maintained. Laurie is a terrific person and host. We can't thank her enough for making our stay so enjoyable.

We rented Laurie's oceanfront home during the July 4 week. The rental process was seamless through We Need A Vacation (WNAV) and with Laurie, the homeowner. Laurie was so hospitable and provided key tips and recommendations, as this was our first trip to MV. Her home was absolutely amazing and we felt right at home. It accommodated our large group between the main house and the Lilac house. Both are beautifully decorated and she has thought of every detail within each house. In addition, it is in walking distance to Oak Bluffs and minutes from beaches, VH and Edgartown. It makes for the perfect getaway, and we look forward to returning again soon!

Our stay in this incredible house was amazing! We have stayed in many houses on the Island over the years, but this one is now our favorite! The house itself is absolutely stunning, and has been recently renovated to perfection. It is a classic 1800's Oak Bluffs "cottage" with beautiful new wide plank oak floors, open beams and all the charming details you would expect from a house of this period. The best part is that with all new doors, windows, kitchen and A/C, the house is quiet, clean, cool and dry, which is a huge bonus for those of us with allergies that have a hard time with the musty mold smell of some of the older homes on the Vineyard.

And the View! Views of the ocean from almost every room in the house, and views of the salt pond from others. The beach is across the street..... across the street! Five minute walk to the beach and ten minute walk to Circuit Ave, Campground and restaurants.

The front porch is everything you dream of while on vacation. It was hard to leave some mornings because the porch was so peaceful. We ended most days relaxing on the front porch as well. Lastly, we really appreciated that there is a bedroom on the main floor in addition to the three upstairs. We had my mom with us who is 83 and has limited mobility. She was perfectly safe and happy in the beautiful downstairs bedroom with bathroom just a few steps away.

The home owners were helpful with our questions and request, easy to reach and thoughtful about what we might need during our stay. We are already looking forward to next years stay!

We were first timers to the island. The house was ideally situated within walking distances to all the attractions and venues in Oak Bluffs. Waking up to the views of the Atlantic Ocean overlooking the beach set each day off right! The house was well equipped with all the amenities and conveniences you could ever need. The host was very thoughtful in their preparations and offerings to enhance both the design of the home and the functionality of living in the house.

We had an amazing time at the MV house. It worked well for my family and I (there's a guest cottage on the property as well). The house is newly renovated but still feels and carries that Martha's Vineyard charm. The renovation is BEAUTIFUL! I think everyone who stayed with us said it multiple times. We spent most of our time in the kitchen and on the -- plentiful -- decks and huge porch. We'd usually walk into town once a day for coffee or supplies. It's a beautiful walk along the water or through the neighboring streets. Everything we needed was there (kitchen supplies, towels, comfy beds, etc) and mostly new. We never met the owners but they were great and quick to respond. I'd certainly recommend this rental to anyone looking. Overall, we had an amazing time and have already booked again for this year!

You won't get a better place to stay. Not only was Laurie an amazing and easily accessible host to book, contact, and communicate with throughout our stay when in need, the place was immaculate and has everything you need. The location is a dream - you wake up to the sound of the ocean. The wraparound porch, beautiful and tasteful design aesthetic and overall attention to practicality and comfort made us feel extremely at ease. It was an absolute pleasure staying here, and we're already excited to book next year! Highly recommend this gem.
