Historical J. A. Norton House - Stroll to Town and Beach
Oak Bluffs Vacation Rental - ID 32194

Note to Vacationers: During July and the weeks of August 22 and 29, the guest house will be occupied by the owner. As a result, the rental rate is reduced for those weeks, and the home is available as a 3-bedroom, 2-bath property accommodating up to 6 guests.

The Main House is the only house for rent and it has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The Guest House would be rented separately and is a 1 bedroom and 1 bath. It is a two level house with a studio style bedroom on the second level and kitchenette, eat in kitchen, and living room on main level. Both houses have A/C.

This beautifully renovated historic J. A. Norton Main and Guest House combines the vintage charm of the 1870s with the modern comforts today’s vacationers love. Ideally located in a welcoming Oak Bluffs neighborhood, the home is just three houses from Inkwell Beach, a mile from Sylvia State Beach, and a short stroll to downtown Oak Bluffs with its restaurants, shops, and entertainment.

Start your day with coffee and breakfast on the lovely three-sided porch, then head out for a walk to town, nearby Waban Park for concerts, sports, and community events, or simply wander down to the beach to feel the sand between your toes and breathe in the salt air.

The home features four bedrooms and three full baths, with central air conditioning in the main house that can be adjusted room by room. The inviting interiors strike the perfect balance of charm and comfort, with tasteful furnishings, cozy lounging spaces, music, and voice-activated television. Outdoors, you’ll find a fenced yard, cushioned Adirondack chairs for relaxation, and plenty of room for alfresco dining. Enjoy breakfast or a summer barbecue on the back deck, surrounded by gardens and hummingbirds. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower—a true Vineyard tradition.

The main floor ensuite features an 18th-century claw-foot tub, blending history with modern convenience, while the upstairs bedrooms offer water views. The private balcony off the master is the perfect spot to take in Nantucket Sound or simply unwind in peace.

With modern amenities, classic Vineyard charm, and a prime location, this Oak Bluffs retreat is the perfect base for your Martha’s Vineyard vacation.

During July and August, parking is available directly in front of the house for your convenience.
