Oak Bluffs - Quiet neighborhood

perfect for our needs

Perfectly situated!

Check-in was just as described and house was easy to find. Bill was easy to communicate with and allowed us to leave luggage early on the property (not in, to be clear!) so we could get to the beach. The house is quaint, completely functional and the location is great for biking and walking to OB, ten and twenty minutes respectively. The neighborhood is quiet and not far from Tony’s Market. Remember to rent your sheets and towels!

First, I want to say Bill is easy to communicate with and is very quick at responding to texts. The house was easy to find with GPS and the neighborhood is gorgeous. Very quiet and safe (the side slider was left unlocked for us to enter). The back yard was my favorite part of the property. Cute wooden deck with covered gazebo, full size glass top patio table with 6 chairs(I think, maybe 8?). Big, beautiful green lawn with cute little bunnies that come out after dark. But, the inside of the house needs updating badly. Upon entering, there is a musty, dank smell that didn't fully go away our entire 3 day stay. The couch needs a good cleaning (or just replacing) due to the musty smell. The throw pillow were so bad I couldn't sit on the couch for very long. The kitchen cabinets are old, water damaged. The small closet where the garbage can is smells so bad I think it needs to be checked for mold. Only one kitchen towel in the kitchen. Speaking of towels... There are 7-10 beds in this house not one of them has bedsheets. No towels in the ONE bathroom. When I asked about this Bill quickly sent me the "fine" print which stated the rental does not come with bed sheets, pillow cases or bath towels. Fine. I didn't read the fine print, my bad. He then told me there is a family owned business on the Island that rents linens. For the money we paid I at least expected bed sheets and towels. We asked other locals if that is a "thing" MV renters do, NOT include bedsheets. They all said no.
