Description

Description

Aren't you ready for some beaching, biking and walks through the woods? If so our welcoming cottage is the perfect spot for you. The house overlooks Oak Bluffs Harbor and Sunset Lake across Washington Park. It’s a short walk to Circuit Avenue, where you’ll find anything from arcades to artisan’s wares; the Tabernacle and Campgrounds, famous for gingerbread houses and tree-lined streets; world renowned Flying Horses Carousel, oldest Merry-Go-Round in the US.

If you’d rather stay closer to home this year, we have a large back yard, perfect for children. Washington Park is right in front of the house, and it’s a great place to fly kites, play ball, or people watch. Nearby is Our Market, where you can pick up liquor and groceries if you don’t feel like going to town.

Built by a ship builder, the house has warm bead board interiors and many interesting built-ins. One renter has described the house as ''magical.'' Others said, ''This is a brilliant house!'' and ''This sweet cottage feels like an old friend.''

There’s a bright and cheerful kitchen, with a vintage soapstone sink. The TV room has a spacious window seat, perfect for naps or reading. The porch overlooks Washington Park, Sunset Lake and Oak Bluffs harbor. It’s perfect for coffee, drinks, conversation and dining. Plenty of room to spread out throughout the house.

There are 6 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus a large outdoor shower. Upstairs bedrooms have steeple ceilings. Two bedrooms have harbor views. The master bedroom has a queen bed, with sunrise view of the sun glinting off the ocean. Two bedrooms have double beds, two bedrooms have bunk beds. There is a “secret” bedroom over the kitchen with 2 twins, a favorite of young people.

Not only is it a short walk to town but within five minutes you can be at the beach or walking through the woods. Also convenient for guests sharing cars, or would rather the convenience of leaving the car at home. Mainland ferries are within walking distance and there is an easily accessible bus system that travels all over the island. If walking isn’t your thing, you can also bike or drive to 5 other towns and over 116 extraordinary preserved public beach, pond, wooded and wilderness areas open to the public.

For those of you who just can’t unplug, there is a TV and wireless internet access, newly upgraded. In addition to the kitchen table and a large dining room table, there’s also a table that seats 6 to 8 on the porch.

In 2022, we installed central air conditioning. One renter called it “a game changer.”

      Beautiful rental house in Martha's Vineyard

      This is our third year renting this property. The house is large and in a great location. Walking distance to the beach, ferry and downtown Oak Bluffs. The house is overlooking the marina so you can watch the boats and ferries. The house has all the essentials that you need for barbecuing and cooking in the kitchen. Even though the location is close to everything it is very quiet while you're sitting on the porch looking out into the marina.

      Sea Saw review

      This Cottage is Wonderful!
      Located in Oak Bluffs with Harbor views and close to everything in town, yet far enough away for a peaceful vacation.
      It's a great, typical Cottage with plenty of room.
      I can't recommend it enough

      Seasaw Cottage

      We stayed for two weeks at the Seasaw property. It provided us with the perfect location, along with the perfect amount of space! We had two toddlers with us (having doors for both sets of stairs was clutch as we kept saying since we forgot baby gates) and there was ample space for everyone. Even when we had visitors it didn't feel cramped. The home had all one would need for a comfortable home away from home. I will be daydreaming of The view from the upstairs master and the front porch all winter long. I can't speak enough of the location. We loved walking to Jetty beach and into "town". The owners were always prompt to respond and made sure we had a wonderful stay. We can't wait to be back! We miss watching the boats come in and out of the harbor and hearing the ferries leaving. We absolutely recommend booking this property- you won't regret it! show more show less

      Seasaw

      We had a great week staying at the Seasaw. The house is very cute and quaint. My big family fit perfectly into the six bedrooms. We enjoyed Jetty beach which is a short walk and the town is also a short walk away. The house was clean and had everything you needed to grill and to cook. The central air conditioning was a giant plus. We will definitely be back.

      Thank you! We were glad you decided to rent again this year and hope to host you in 2023! You're right about the A/C. I arrived on the Vineyard right after you when it was still very hot and humid. I appreciated the cool dry air. Enjoy the rest of the year.

      Oak Bluffs Rental

      Our second year at this home in Oak Bluffs was wonderful. It's a great house, short walk to town, and this year we had the enjoyment and comfort of a new Air Conditioning unit. The house is very well kept and a pleasure to enjoy.

      SeaSaw 2022

      We had a wonderful stay at SeaSaw in July. We loved everything about the house - it was comfortable and had everything one would need. The 2 bests things were the front porch and the location. We spent hours relaxing on the porch - it was peaceful but also allowed you to see activity in the harbor. Everyone loved it especially the grandparents that weren't able to venture out as much as the rest of us. Teenagers loved being able to go into town on their own or head to the beach. Having a beach right down the street was fantastic. Since we had cars and parking we were able to get to other beaches and Edgartown easily. We spent one day out at Menemsha enjoying the spectacular beach and fresh seafood. We love the Vineyard and this house was the perfect place for us to stay and enjoy all there is to do and see on the island. Homeowners were wonderful and very pleasant. We hope to return to SeaSaw! show more show less

      We are so glad you had a good week. Paula. We love the porch and the location so we're glad you appreciate it. Glad it worked for all the generations! Looking forward to the Ocean View being rebuilt…hopefully next year? Hope you come back again!

      We loved our stay!

      My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our second year renting, and it was everything we wanted and more. The location is ideal-- you can walk within minutes to all the bars, restaurants, beaches, etc. in Oak Bluffs. It was great that my kids didn't have to drive when they wanted to go into town. They invest in the property and had a new grill, gas stove, and central air conditioning system. The street is quiet with a nice park in the front, and we spent lots of time on the rocking chairs on the expansive front porch. The backyard is wonderful and we enjoyed the outdoor shower. The homeowners communicated very well. show more show less

      Annual Trip to the Island

      Yet again Seasaw did not disappoint. We were in heaven from the minute we walked up the steps to the minute we left. We began and ended every day on the expansive porch and many rocking chairs. True Bliss! The house is fully stocked with incidentals and bowls, plates etc. ( you need to bring towels and linens) The location can't be beat as it is a stones throw from all that downtown Oak Bluffs has to offer. Major upgrade this year with central AC, it was a game changer! The owners are amazing to work with. Can't wait for our next visit! show more show less

      Thank you so much, Lara! It's a delight to have you stay at our place and we're so glad you had a great time. We've been wanting to install AC for some time; it's good to hear that it made a difference in your experience. Hope to see you next summer.

      Perfect spot

      This home was perfect for my family. It's a perfect location. You can walk to the beach, the shops and the carousel. The house was very well stocked with everything you need to cook with etc. I would definitely rent this home again.

      A great vacation!

      We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The house has so much character, wonderful porch overlooking Oak Bluffs Harbor, perfect walking distance to the beaches and town. Wish we could stay there 52 weeks of the year!

      I've been coming to the Vineyard since I was 7 (which is a long time ago). My grandmother lived here full time, my parents retired here, my sister has a house here, her husband is a Vineyarder and my niece has lived here for many years. When my parents moved to their home on the Campgrounds, my husband and I began looking for a place of our own. We were lucky enough to find this cottage 25 years ago.

      What is special about this property?
      Built by shipbuilders, the home has lots of bead board, built ins, and nooks and crannies that make the place warm and welcoming. The wrap around front porch overlooks the Oak Bluffs Harbor and is a great spot for meals, cocktails, breakfast, reading or chatting. The back yard is twice as large as the other houses on the street. Across the street is a park: great for playing or people watching.

      I love being able to walk along the ocean and then cut into the woods on a loop back home. The best of both worlds!

      What is special about your town?
      Oak Bluffs is THE happening town on the Vineyard. The Flying Horses, arcade, many restaurants, shops...to name just a few. Ocean Park is a gem. Being able to walk along the water. The Campgrounds...what's not to love?

      And yet our house is within walking distance of most of Oak Bluffs but far away enough from the action.
