Description

Description

Welcome to CeeCee’s Cottage! Our spacious, contemporary, sunny, central air-conditioned family home is centrally located within 5 minutes walking/biking distance to the Harbor, restaurants, and the beach. We are located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood surrounded by beautiful greenery all around us, and other beautifully maintained homes.

There are 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. One bedroom is located on the first floor, with a queen size bed and flat screen TV. The first floor also has a full bathroom.

On the second floor, there are 4 additional bedrooms ( 1 with a king size bed, 2 with queen size beds, and 1 with two twin beds), and two full bathrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite full bathroom.

Three of the upstairs bedrooms have flat screen TV’s for streaming.

The kitchen has seating for 12, and is very well stocked with a microwave, toaster oven, Keurig coffee maker, regular coffee maker, food processor, Kitchen Aid mixer and Ninja juicer. The refrigerator dispenses ice and water.<br /> <br /> Next to the kitchen is a laundry room with a washer and dryer. <br /> <br /> The sunny front to back living room features a gas fireplace and flat screen TV with cable access. It also has french doors that lead to the back deck. <br /> Enjoy the company of friends and family while lounging on the 16x33 back deck with built-in benches, Weber gas grill, charcoal grille, dining table with additional seating, 11 foot umbrella with solar lighting and privacy barrier. The deck can be accessed from the kitchen and living room sliding glass doors.<br /> <br /> The screened porch offers the perfect setting for the family to gather, have a glass of wine at night, coffee in the morning, read, and listen to the birds tweeting, while snelling the roses from the garden. <br /> <br /> The backyard has a gazebo with a fire pit for those cool summer evenings. <br /> <br /> Martha’s Vineyard offers miles of public town beaches (we provide 10 beach chairs, and two coolers). In Oak Bluffs there is Town Beach (Includes the Inkwell), Sylvia State Beach and Eastville Beach. In Vineyard Haven, there is Lake Tashmoo Beach, Owen Park Beach and Tisbury Town Beach next to the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club. In Edgartown, there is South Beach, Lighthouse Beach, Norton Point Beach, Fuller Street beach and East Beach which is locate on Chappaquiddick Island. <br /> <br /> A special mention of Menemsha beach which is located up island in Chilmark. It has gentle, pristine water, ideal for swimming. One of the highlights is the incredible view of the sunset! It is a very popular attraction on the island. Parking is limited so get there early. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the beach and public restrooms. <br /> <br /> While in Aquinnah, visit the Gay Head Cliffs. The sights are breathtaking! There are local retail shops, small eateries and free parking. The drive up island from Oak Bluffs is about 25 minutes. If you don’t want to drive, you may take a bus from Ocean Park. There are round trips daily.<br /> <br /> Last, but not least, Ocean Park is located just a few minutes away from our home. It is a great place to walk, run, picnic, bike, fly a kite, and enjoy the ocean views!<br /> read more show less

    Our Home Away from Home

    Your home truly feels like our "home away from home." It is cozy, impeccably clean, and fully equipped with everything we need for a wonderful and relaxing vacation.

    We especially love the convenience of being within walking distance of so many wonderful places—from the charming restaurants and quaint shops to East Chop and the lighthouse, the marina, the library, the Gingerbread Cottages, and the Inkwell. The location makes it so easy to enjoy everything we love about the Vineyard.

    This is now our fourth time staying at your home, and each visit has been just as special as the last. We are so grateful to have found a place that feels so comfortable and welcoming, and we look forward to returning for many years to come.

    Thank you for providing such a wonderful home and helping us create priceless family memories that we will cherish for years to come. We truly cannot wait for our next stay!

    We'll be counting down the days until your next visit! The house will be waiting for you, and we hope each return feels just as special as the last. Until then, wishing your family many happy memories—and we can't wait to welcome you home again soon!

    Wonderful Martha Vineyard Vacation Rental
    September 2026

    Our stay at this Martha's Vineyard vacation rental from August 21 through September 3 was truly exceptional. Having visited the Vineyard for more than 40 years and stayed in many different properties, I can confidently say this was one of the best vacation rentals I have ever experienced.

    The location is perfect. The property is an easy walk to Circuit Avenue, the harbor, shopping, restaurants, and both Town Beach and Inkwell Beach. We were able to enjoy everything the area has to offer without sacrificing the comfort and peaceful atmosphere of the property.

    The home itself was in exceptional condition and immaculately clean. Every amenity and "creature comfort" you could possibly think of was provided. From the moment we arrived, it was obvious that the owner takes tremendous pride in the property and has given careful thought to making guests feel completely at home.

    The outdoor space was equally impressive. The lawn was beautifully manicured, the flowers were gorgeous, and the outdoor evening lighting created a wonderful ambience that made spending time outside at night especially enjoyable.

    Just as important, the owner was extremely responsive. Any question or request received a timely response and follow-up, which made the entire experience seamless.

    After more than four decades of coming to Martha's Vineyard, I don't give this level of praise lightly. This property is truly one of the best I have ever rented on the Vineyard.

    I absolutely plan to rent this property whenever I return to Martha's Vineyard, and I would enthusiastically recommend it to my friends, family, and associates.

    Exceptional property, exceptional location, exceptional experience.

    3 blind mice
    September 2026

    I was a guest at this home, on August 15 through August 22. Unfortunately, my experience at this home was quite different than the rest of the reviews I've read. myself and nine other guests were greeted by mice in this house, even though the house is beautiful, it looks clean. It gives off the appearance that is clean, but if they are mice, running rampant in the kitchen, eating up the guest food mice traps under the bathroom sink. This house isn't as clean as it looks, we notified the owner of the mice problem she did send an exterminator to take care of the situation, by that time there was mouse droppings all over the kitchen counters mice poop with the silverware we literally had to take the whole kitchen apart and clean, but yet again, they were still mice, we had to wind up throwing over $200 worth of food away because the mouse or the mice had eaten our food that we purchased not knowing at this time were was a mouse problem. She gave us $200 back but we still wind up having to eat out every night because of the infestation of the mice. Once the exterminator came, he informed us that the owner knew that there was a mouse issue at that property. show more show less

    We are disappointed that this guest characterized the situation as a "mouse infestation," as that is simply not an accurate representation of what occurred.

    There was one mouse in the home during the stay. We responded promptly and contacted our exterminator, who worked diligently to locate and remove it. Although the mouse proved unusually difficult to catch, it was successfully caught within a couple of days. There were no further sightings or issues for the remainder of the guests' stay.

    We promptly reimbursed the $200 that were spent on extra groceries. Per the other guests, they were satisfied with all the efforts taken and how the issue was resolved.

    We understand that encountering a mouse can be upsetting, and we took the guests' concerns seriously. At the same time, we believe it is important to clarify that there was no infestation. We have continued to monitor the property and take preventative measures to ensure our guests can enjoy the clean, comfortable, and welcoming home our family has proudly maintained for three generations.

    We respect that guests may have different experiences and expectations, but we also want future guests to have an accurate understanding of what occurred.

    You can stay here if you want to but you might meet Mickey Mouse and his family!!!
    September 2026

    We were guests at the home August 8 - August 15 th 2026. Upon our our arrival.... we were met by the homeowner at the house and she said that while doing laundry she thought she saw a leaf, went down to pick it up and found that it was a mouse. This is particularly concerning because she waited for us to get there to begin our vacation without the problem being fully investigated or resolved.

    We contacted the owner on August 9th because we observed a mouse in the home and attempted to trap it. Once trapped we asked her to please have somebody come and remove it and she text us back that she could not. Later in the week we notified the owner again that there was an active rodent problem. We sent the owner photographic evidence showing mice in the kitchen, including a mouse on the stove and mouse droppings across the kitchen counter. We have additional photographs and videos documenting the conditions.

    When we left on August 15th we STRONGLY advised the owner NOT to allow anyone to stay there until the rodent problem was taken care of. This was not simply an inconvenience. The presence of mice and rodent droppings in areas where food is prepared and cooked created a serious sanitation and health concern. Once we discovered that mice had been on the stove and that droppings were present on kitchen surfaces, we no longer felt that we could safely use the kitchen or prepare food in the home.

    As a result, we incurred the additional work and expense of eating out for much of our trip. What is especially troubling is that the property was rented to guests despite prior knowledge that a mouse had been observed in the home. Had we been informed of the situation before our stay, we would have had the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether we were comfortable occupying the property. Instead, we discovered the extent of the problem after our arrival.

    After reaching out to the owner by email we received our $700. deposit back and on top of this she only offered us $200. to compensate us for the struggles that we had with a rodent issue during our vacation. The presence of mice and droppings in food-preparation areas is a legitimate health and sanitation concern, and knowingly allowing guests to occupy a property with an unresolved rodent problem raises serious concerns about guest safety and the condition in which the property was provided.

    Owner Response:

    We're sorry that this family encountered a mouse during their stay and understand how unsettling and inconvenient that can be. Guest comfort and safety are very important to us, and we took the concern seriously.

    Before their arrival, on August 8th, we had already engaged a professional exterminator and placed traps in the basement, shed, and around the exterior of the property. This was in response to mice activity associated with the Fall construction of a new home next door, that had displaced field mice in the surrounding area.

    When I met the family, I shared that in the Fall a mouse had entered via the side door into the laundry room. It was so tiny that I confused it with a leaf. It was promptly caught with a trap. I shared this information to make them aware of the situation. We had not seen a mouse since the Fall, and none of our previous guests had reported any sightings inside the house.

    When the family reported seeing a mouse and shared photographs of droppings on the countertops and stove, we promptly offered to have the exterminator come to the house. They initially declined, explaining that they had seen only one mouse and would address the situation themselves. They later declined again, after sharing a video showing that the mouse had been trapped in a heating vent.

    During their stay, they referred to the mouse jokingly as "Mickey" and continued to tell us they loved the house. They shared how extensively they had been entertaining friends, including hosting dinner parties, and having guests at the property after the White Party event. These were pleasant discussions throughout their stay.

    On Friday, August 14, the night before their scheduled departure, the family surprised us when they requested $1,000 for the inconvenience of the mouse. We declined that request but offered $200 as a goodwill gesture, which was accepted. The family checked out on August 15th, and we were under impression that the matter had been resolved.

    After their departure, our cleaning staff provided photographs showing that the home had been left in a state that required cleaning above and beyond the norm. A queen-size bed had been left with its rails misaligned and required professional reassembly. Rental bicycles were also left in the middle of the driveway, blocking access for our incoming guests.

    After the family's departure, the mouse reappeared several days later while the next guests were staying at the property. With those guests' cooperation, our exterminator returned and caught it the following day. The lessee, was satisfied with how promptly the matter was addressed and the compensation provided. There were no additional mice sightings. One of her guests demanded additional compensation.

    We didn't hear from the family again until September 21, more than a month after their stay.

    We routinely use professional pest-control services: in addition to addressing field mice, we have the exterior professionally treated for mosquitoes and ticks every three weeks during the season and receive professional spider treatment in both the Spring and Fall.

    We genuinely regret that the family encountered a mouse and experienced inconvenience during their stay. We remain committed to maintaining a clean, comfortable, safe home and to responding promptly and responsibly to any guest concerns.

    Every Year a Peaceful Retrear
    September 2026

    We've stayed at Celia's home the last two years and will be returning next August for our third year because it truly feels like our peaceful home away from home.

    The rooms are spacious and well lit and there's more than enough space for two families and guests who may come by for dinner. The beautiful lighted outdoor spaces make the backyard a magically entertaining and enjoyable way to end every evening.

    The location you can't beat. While I drive to the Inkwell beach every morning, my husband walks to Circuit Ave with my kids for breakfast. The proximity to everything in Oak Bluffs makes driving truly optional.

    And Celia is a gracious and warm host. If I ever have a question or a need, Celia is responsive and committed to us having a wonderful stay. We've built a good relationship over the years so I don't look for another home to rent year after year. You won't be disappointed with a stay here (just don't try to take my week haha).

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It has been such a pleasure hosting your family these past two years, and knowing that you'll be returning for a third year truly means the world to me. I love hearing that the home has become your peaceful home away from home and that you've enjoyed both the beautiful outdoor spaces and the convenience of being able to walk to everything Oak Bluffs has to offer.

    Building relationships with returning guests is one of the most rewarding parts of sharing our home, and I'm so grateful for the trust you've placed in me and our home. I look forward to welcoming you back next August—and don't worry, I'll make sure I save your week!show moreshow less

    Great location, spacious, clean and a great host!
    September 2026

    2027 will mark our family's 9th year staying in this home (and our 8th consecutive year), and honestly, it feels like so much more than a vacation rental at this point—it truly feels like our home away from home.
    We've made so many wonderful family memories here over the years, and coming back each summer has become a tradition we all look forward to. The kids love being able to walk into town and spend evenings on the screened-in porch playing cards after full beach days, laughing, and enjoying their Back Door Donut haul.
    The house itself is always immaculate and welcoming, and having multiple bathrooms is a must for our family. The open, inviting kitchen and dining space is the heart of the home for us—a place where we can gather, share meals, talk, laugh, and simply enjoy being together.
    Everything is always spotless and ready for us when we arrive, which means we can walk through the door, unpack, and immediately feel at home and start to unwind. The host is wonderful—always responsive to questions or concerns and quick to find a solution that works.
    After so many years, this home has become a very special part of our family's summers. We're incredibly grateful for all the memories we've made here and look forward to making many more. We truly can't imagine our family vacations without it. Can't wait for 2027!!!!

    Carly, thank you for this beautiful review—and for allowing our home to become such a special part of your family's summer tradition. Knowing that you'll be returning for your ninth year in 2027 truly means the world to us. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing generations of family memories made here, from beach days and Back Door Donuts to evenings gathered around the table and on the porch.

    We are so grateful for your continued trust and for treating our home as your own. It has been a joy to host your family over the years, and we can't wait to welcome you home again in 2027 and see what new memories you create!show moreshow less

    Perfect House for Multiple Families
    September 2026

    My extended family has been coming to the Vineyard for years. We rented this lovely home this past summer because our needs increased. The house is in a great location! The house is super clean and cared for. It has every amenity you could think of and is extremely comfortable. The owner is extremely responsive (not that we had any issues). We booked for next year as soon as we got home. It really is beautiful and such a comfortable place to call "home" for a week.

    Chantal, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting your family, and I'm so happy that our home provided the comfort, space, and amenities you needed to enjoy your time on the Vineyard.

    Knowing that you felt at home—and that you booked your stay for next summer before you even left—means more to me than you know. I put a great deal of love and care into our home, and it is especially rewarding when guests appreciate it as much as you did.

    I look forward to welcoming your extended family back next summer and creating another wonderful Vineyard memory together. Until then, wishing you all the very best!

    A Little Bit of Heaven
    July 2026

    I risk having people flock here by declaring just how spectacular this home truly is. The owner, Celia, is a true gem of a human being and extended herself beyond what I have experienced in my visits to my happy place. I am a germaphobe but I did not have to clean any of the surfaces in the house prior to using them. The house was perfectly spotless and had all of the touches I liked when I first saw it online. All of us had comfortable spaces, clean rooms and lots of places to gather to play eat and talk about how to solve the cares of the world. I will check her space first for our next visit. I hope to see Celia when I visit so we can finally toast to hosting our friends! show more show less

    Hosting wonderful guests like you is one of the greatest joys of sharing our home. I'm grateful that your happy place now includes our home, and I hope you'll return again and again. And yes, I absolutely look forward to finally sharing that toast and celebrating friendship, good times, and all the memories still to come. Until then, know that your home away from home will always be waiting for you!show moreshow less

    Simply the Best!
    June 2024

    I have been vacationing on the Vineyard for over 35 years and this house is without a doubt one of the finest homes we have stayed. The inside is and well appointed with everything you need including a coffee maker with grinder. As great as the inside is, the outside is even better! We have never had as many different social areas as this home has! The screened porch and the patio were my favorite. If you are lucky enough rent this property, don't pass it up!

    5 Star Experience
    July 2023

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely vacation home last week. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior was tastefully decorated, reflecting the island's coastal charm. It was clear that the owners put a lot of thought into making the space comfortable and welcoming.
    First and foremost, the location was absolutely perfect. Nestled in the heart of Oak Bluffs you can walk almost anywhere including restaurants ( Linda Jean, Fish bones, Nancy's, Biscuits, and the Back Door for donuts, etc), shopping on Circuit Ave, the pier, Gingerbread Houses, the Ferry, beaches and more, all within a mile distance.
    The convenience factor alone made this vacation home an outstanding choice for us. The amenities provided exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, and accessories. The living and dining areas were cozy and very comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. Having a bedroom on the first floor with a full bath, plus 4 bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs was ideal for our family.
    One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. This vacation home has 3 separate outdoor spaces. A screened in porch, a relaxing spacious deck with a grill and a solar lit patio area.
    From the moment we arrived until the day we left, our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. God willing, we will return next year !!!

    Our Vineyard home has been a haven for many years. It's the special place where our entire family gathers every year to vacation, celebrate special occasions and get together with friends. Our family is comprised of three generations and just keeps growing. We are blessed to be able to call the Vineyard home!
    We value all our guests and hope to provide you a home that feels welcoming and will provide wonderful memories for years to come.

    What is special about this property?
    Our screened porch is really delightful. It's a great place to read, have coffee, get together with friends, and take a nap.

    The large back deck is great for entertaining, having a cookout, and sunbathing on the lounge chairs.

    What is special about your town?
    The town of Oak Bluffs is one of 6 towns on Martha's Vineyard. It is known for its distinctive and colorful gingerbread houses. The architectural style looks like a Victorian storybook. It is the site of an annual luminous tradition that takes place the third Wednesday of every August called Illumination Night. On this night, residents decorate/illuminate their cottages with Chinese lanterns. It is a magical scene of hundreds of illuminating lights!

    Oak Bluffs boasts the island's largest marina which is surrounded by many restaurants, shops and the famous Donovan's bar. Donovan's is the place to get all your specialty drinks. The pain Killer and the mud slides are our favorites! Get a drink, listen to reggae music, eat lobster and enjoy!
    The Flying Horses Carousel is a main attraction in Oak Bluffs. It was originally located in Coney Island and moved to Oak Bluffs in the 19th century. If you catch the brass ring, you will get a free ride.
    Visit the East Chop Lighthouse which was first built in 1878. Sit on a bench and enjoy the breathtaking ocean views!
    In Oak Bluffs center, you will find Ocean Park and its historic bandstand. In August, it's the site of the town's annual fireworks. You won't want to miss this incredible experience. Get there early!
    Oak Bluffs has been home to a thriving African American community since the 1800's. Tour the African American Heritage Trails and swim at the ''Inkwell''.
    Our home is within walking distance/bike ride of all these attractions!
