This inviting and comfortable Oak Bluffs vacation home awaits your stay! With all the comforts of home like A/C, private laundry, an outdoor shower, cable TV, free WiFi, grill, and a spectacular location, you're sure to have a fantastic getaway here. Located on a gorgeous grassy plot walking distance to the lagoon, this Oak Bluffs vacation home is an ideal spot for your Martha's Vineyard holiday. Walk to the scenic shores of Lagoon Pond via Sail Camp Park where you can launch your boat. If you're visiting for a wedding or private party, this home is the perfect location to travel easily between the Sail Camp Park event hall and the home. The famous East Chop Lighthouse is just three miles away for a traditional New England experience.

The partially fenced yard has an ornamental cherry tree with the most beautiful blossoms in the spring, and offers the perfect shade from the summer sun. A furnished deck with gas grill is the perfect place to have a family cookout after a day at the beach. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt as well.

Enter through the sliding glass doors from the deck to the family dining room with seating for eight at the counter-height dining set. The soft sage-colored walls, hardwood floors, and natural light give a bright and airy feel. After dinner, settle into the living room to watch a DVD you brought or the big game on cable TV. If you've got to make a few last-minute touches to your vacation or event plans, the WiFi will keep you connected. If you get the itch to cook up a filling dinner or a lumberjack breakfast, the kitchen is well-equipped for your needs. A Keurig coffeemaker is available for the coffee lover, and a dishwasher makes cleanup easy.

About 10 miles across the island is Norton Point Beach if you want a true summer experience. Take a drive to the other side, about 16 miles, and visit the village of Aquinnah and see the amazing views from the well-known cliffs. Staying for an extended period of time for an event or just on the island for a break from the city? This Martha's Vineyard vacation home is ideal for helping you create memories to last a lifetime!

DO NOT STAY HERE - MOLD & FILTH
We ended up leaving early (late last night 9/22/23) when I discovered mold in all the air conditioners and a colony fuzzy mold under the cabinet in the first floor bathroom/laundry room. Myself and my youngest became very ill while staying here with sinus issues, asthma attacks and sore throats. I am sure the owner of the house has no idea this is going on as the property is managed by an Asian company called Vacasa. I took MANY photos. Other issues include: 1) The house was impossible to find as Vacasa provided the wrong address. They said it was on Onondaga Street in a non-existent zip code. They then proceeded to send me down a variety of dead end dirt roads until we’re inadvertently found the house on Onondaga Road in a different zip code…in the pitch black darkness no less! 2) There were live roaches in the lighting fixtures. 3) There was a composting bin on the countertop filled with recently discarded food, which attracted ants. 4) While the kitchen was outfitted with all the necessary accoutrements to cook all our meals, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty and it looked like roach droppings on the silverware. All-in-all, it was just gross. We stayed five of our six nights because the Vineyard is amazing, but hastily gathered up my family and lifer last night because I discovered, while trying to find the root cause of the illness were were experiencing in the house, large deposits of black, grey and even orange mold throughout the house. Totally disgusting.

Lovely home in MV
Lovely home in a secluded area of MV. We had three generations and it was great for all. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the mornings and evenings. A good place to rest after a day of activity. Was very clean and all amenities in working order. The beach supplies - chairs, umbrellas - were a welcome bonus.

I think “Island Sanctuary” might be an overstatement, but it was passable. Clean enough.
I feel like it was a lot to ask for the bare minimum, but it was fine. Clean enough. Certainly out-dated and the window air conditioning units were really load and old.

Property condition and Ammenities
Overall, this is a nice place to stay while in MV. Like a lot of "Managed" properties however this one suffers from wear. Screen door material ripped, floors need to be refinished, furniture had needed some repair, vertical blinds kept falling off, microwave handle broken etc, however the biggest condition item was easier to fix: Clean this house better. Stove vents loaded with grease as well as cabinets. Remove Stove and Refrigerator and clean the accumulated dirt and food. Overall, we would return expecially if the house were cleaned. Suited us perfectly.

Clean, good location.
Had just about everything we needed. Quiet at night. 10 minute drive from oak bluffs and vineyard haven downtown areas. Definitely need a car. Main bathroom is old and dingy but was clean. No complaints- would return!

Beautiful home for a great price
We loved our stay at Island Sanctuary. The reason we gave it a 4 out of 5 was due to ants in the kitchen. The rest of the house was quaint and perfect for our little family + pet get away. A/C, a nice back patio + outside shower, grill, a kitchen area, and TVs in most of the rooms. Plus it’s close to town/state beach/ ferry. We recommend having a vehicle to access this property but overall it was a great property for the price!

Great property
The property is very nice and as described in the listing. Comfortably sleeps 7. Very clean. It is a little outside of town but there were plenty of Uber/Lyfts to get us around. Used them to get around the whole island. ACs worked great. Loved the outdoor shower. Thanks!

A Welcome Surprise
We've rented on the Vineyard for a number of years and in the past we simply acclimated ourselves to enduring things we did not like about our rental. This rental was the first to have it all. The rooms are all goodsize and the flow of the downstairs spacing is both efficient and inviting. Outside in the back is a comfortable spread out sitting porch area with wicker chairs (the cushions are in the shed), providing a peaceful relaxing environment for enjoyable conversation. The kitchen is well equipped with everything -- plates, cups, glasses, silverware, an amazing spice rack and both a convential coffee maker and a Keurig replete with complementary coffee. The three upstairs bedrooms are all clean and each one well equipped with its own AC Unit. Some of the mattresses are a bit too soft and should probably be replaced. Yet, all of the other positive attributes of this unit definitely standout and make this rental a winner. Ron P.

Oak Bluffs home
Pros: The home was perfect for 5 women to get ready to hit the town, bathrooms had plenty of space, beds were comfortable, access to washer and dryer was helpful. We loved hanging out on the deck and having cocktails, we even enjoyed the sounds of the rooster next door. The home is a short drive to the center of town and we never had trouble parking at the beach. Also access to beach chairs was great, would be better if there were more of the larger chairs though. Check in was easy, neighbors were quiet, great grocery store with deli and coffee stand not far from the house. Cons: Found a couple of ants on the kitchen counter top, two of the TVs in two of the bedrooms were not programmed so they could not be watched. Kitchen is NOT clean, utensils in the utensil stands had food encrusted on them, no paper towels were provided as stated in the quote, no dishtowels, dead bugs inside the overhead lights, should purchase a fabric shower liner so it can be washed the plastic one is brown on the bottom. Also, if the house sleeps 7 there should be a non-stick pan large enough to cook breakfast rather than just one small one.

great pet friendly place for a quiet mother's day weekend
The photos represented the house accurately and the beds were really comfortable. It was a cozy and comfortable place for a family of four adults and two small dogs. The yard was great, and though the weather was too chilly to use the porch to enjoy a meal outdoors it would have been even more amazing if we were able to do so. The house was conveniently located to the town as well. Would definitely come back here and also recommend the house to friend and family for a getaway.
