Beware of Sankofa

Premium rates with KOA like amenities. Rock hard pillows, moisture coming up from the floor and oh yeah ask for extra towels and a candle because the place stinks.

IMy husband and I rented this studio. It is a very cute place, nicely decorated but it is smaller than it appears online. It would be better for 1 person. Pros: it is very cute. It’s walking in distance to the Ferry and Circuit Ave. The neighborhood is walkable. Cons: It has a cheap & sagging mattress. There is no closet & no place for hanging clothes other than a few hooks around the room. The dresser is only approx 8-10” deep so the 3 drawers won’t hold much. 2/3 of the dresser shelves are filled with boxes. The outdoor table & chair set is rusty so we didn’t utilize that. The place was stuffy so we had to keep the ceiling fan on. The A/C did not have a heating option but that was quickly resolved when a space heater was provided. FYI, the coffee pot does not use pods. Although towels were provided, there were only 2 washcloths, 2 hand towels, 4 bath towels. I would have preferred 4 washcloths & only 2 bath towels.

Cozy LITTLE bungalow in the Vineyard

We enjoyed our stay in this little studio located in a great spot near the action in Oak Bluffs! Be warned...it is SMALL! My only complaint was the lack of places to keep luggage. Having suitcases in the very tight space made things challenging. That being said, the room was clean, updated, and had all the basics for a short stay in the Vineyard. Tech was very updated in the room - it was easy to connect to the wifi, operate the TV, and the toilet even had a bidet! If we came back for a longer time we'd probably need something bigger, but this was fine for a quick trip. Check in was easy - locating the studio is a bit confusing, as it is actually a little garage/shed adjacent to a larger home. Just go around the corner to get to the studio itself.

Brilliantly decorated and cozy studio!

I love this studio because of the prime location. It was walking distance from all of the restaurants and shops in Oak Bluffs. The decor has to be the best part of the whole experience. The pictures don't do justice to the artistic charm of this studio.
