Lovingly restored and impeccably renovated, this historic 1800s Oak Bluffs cottage is one of those rare places that guests fall in love with the moment they arrive. Surrounded by gardens and filled with original architectural details, colorful stained glass, and thoughtful modern updates, it offers the perfect combination of historic Vineyard charm and contemporary comfort.
Step outside and discover your own private island oasis. Soak in the hot tub beneath the stars, gather around the striking Danish-designed Rais outdoor fireplace, enjoy dinner on the patio, or rinse off after the beach in the classic Vineyard outdoor shower. Whether you're beginning the day with coffee in the gardens or ending it around the fire with family and friends, the outdoor spaces are every bit as inviting as the home itself.
The location is exceptional. Situated on historic Kennebec Avenue, you'll find yourself within easy walking distance of everything that makes Oak Bluffs so beloved. Stroll to Ocean Park and the beach, wander through the colorful Gingerbread Cottages, enjoy the harbor and waterfront restaurants, explore boutiques and cafés, listen to live music on Circuit Avenue, or catch a performance at the iconic Tabernacle. Many guests park their car upon arrival and rarely need it again.
The breathtaking bike path connecting Oak Bluffs and Edgartown begins just a few blocks away, offering one of the island's most scenic rides, with water views on both sides. Nearby nature trails provide wonderful opportunities for morning walks and runs.
The home may be rented as an entire house or as two separate apartments. (See our other Oak Bluffs properties for individual apartment rentals.)
