Ocean-facing Guest House, Walk Everywhere!
Oak Bluffs Vacation Rental - ID 36682

Welcome to The Lilac House guest house! It's an updated, modern-vintage cozy getaway, perfect for a few friends, a couple, or a family with one or two younger children. Directly across from the ocean, a short walk to town, and a 10 minute walk to the ferries docking in Oak Bluffs, and close to the bike path to Edgartown. Access to Inkwell beach (the steps down to the sand) is just a block or so away.

The house has everything you need: it's air conditioned (a very efficient wall-mounted mini-split), has a kitchen with a fridge, oven/cooktop, sink (no dishwasher). There is a stacked washer/dryer in the back room. The back room also has a bureau, bathroom vanity/sink, and (off of that pictured image) is a shower/toilet. The shower is a bit small, so we've added a brand new outdoor shower (enclosed, with good water pressure and hot & cold water) that we, and guests, much prefer.

Please note that the beds are all single/bunk beds, and share the common space with the living/kitchen area; there is no 'private' bedroom. The house is 1-story (a single step-up area inside and a step onto the exterior deck).

There is public parking (often plentiful) on the road along the ocean. But with town and ferry walkable, and the town bus going right by the house, there's really no need for a car.

Preferred rentals are Saturday to Saturday, but we can often be flexible about arrival and departure dates, so just ask!
