About this house rental
Location, location, location. This cozy 3 bedroom house is located steps from downtown on a family neighborhood side street. Stroll among the Gingerbread houses, or into town for groceries, dining and fun...or pack a tote and stroll to the end of our street to Inkwell beach. Everything is within an easy walking distance, including the ferry, a great playground, fishing pier, lots of diverse restaurants and night spots, Flying Horses carousel, churches and shuttle buses that can take you around the island.
Transferable ferry reservations may be available to guests (at same price we paid) for certain weeks of the summer. However, everything is so handy, you might not need a car. If you do want your vehicle on the island, there is off-street parking for two cars in front of the house.
This quaint home features a living room with flat-screen TV, comfy sectional sofa, downstairs hardwood flooring, downstairs bathroom with shower, and 3 bedrooms and a small half bath upstairs. Queen bed in the master, double bed in the middle room, and 3 twins in the "kids' room". The kids' room also has a TV in case you need to find a space for them to go and entertain themselves while the adults unwind after a day on the beach. There's also a TV in the master bedroom. There's a private hot/cold outdoor shower off the back porch too. The back patio features a canopy in case it showers during your stay - it's a pleasant place to have meals, play games or do a little bit of work in case it rains. BBQ on the private back patio or relax on the front porch and say Hi to the neighbors as they stroll by.
Window air conditioners and fans, but for those cooler spring/fall evenings, there is electric heat upstairs and down.
Perfect for a family or a romantic getaway. This is a weekly Saturday-Saturday rental property however 4 night minimum stays may be considered during during parts of the fall.

We loved the location, ease of the rental (it has everything). It's a little worn, you're typical well-used beach rental. The rooms are small and the outdoor areas are a little musty but overall we had an amazing week. The Barvenik's are very kind and generous owners. Highly recommend as a rental for your visit to MV.

We had a really incredible week at Franks Gingerbread cottage in Oak Bluffs, MV. The location of his home is just perfect and the nice neighbors and location made the stay even more memorable. I should state that we have stayed up on MV each summer for the past 17 years and rented from a family friend in Vineyard Haven. We could not match our dates this year and decided to stay in Oak Bluffs for the experience and convenience. It did not disappoint. We were so grateful for the wonderful location. Near the main shopping and restaurant area.. so close enough to hit back door donuts and Jimmy Seas..but off the main run enough that we felt it was quiet and relaxing. Frank was super helpful in planning ahead of time helping us rent sheets and towels - as we have never had to do that part of staying in a home before. The company along with his cleaning service were awesome. The beds were all made before we arrived! It was also nice to see boogie boards and beach chairs if we had needed them. Frank also left typed instructions for directions /useful suggestions on the kitchen table which we always appreciate.

This gingerbread house is small but the kit hen was well equipped and the furniture comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom was also very comfortable. We didn’t use the other bedrooms. Our only problems were that my husband, who is tall, had to bend to get upstairs and through the doors upstairs. The other issue was where the laundry room was. Access is from the outside, down some concrete stairs and into a cobwebbed basement.
Overall, though, we were happy there. The outside porch and patio were lovely and the grill was great. I would recommend to anyone under 5’10”.

We had a great time. Frank & his family were very communicative. We had plenty of room in the house. The patio in the back and the washer/dryer were huge pluses for us. My kids love the little balcony off their room.
