My family stayed for 2 weeks in this very comfortable beach house. It is in the perfect location and had everything we needed to make this a wonderful vacation. It has an older beach house vibe and was what I loved most about it. Owner was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended

Great Getaway with Perfect Location

The house was in the perfect location being a block from the beach and quick walk in 10 min or less to all of the restaurants and bars in Oak Bluffs. Very spacious with multiple balconies/decks to enjoy. The host was very accommodating and even surprised us with a few ACs installed in the house. I would definitely stay here again!

Overall: great location - walking distance to everything (beach, shops, marina, restaurants, ferry).Very cool, charming historic home - loved the dining room, living room, front porch, outdoor balconies, and bedrooms. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the necessities (dishes, glasses, cooking utensils, etc.), modern stove and fridge, but it needs updating (cabinets, sink, floor, kitchen table), as well as the downstairs bathroom. The "game room" is a bit dusty and dank. I definitely appreciated the beach umbrella and chairs provided. While we didn't utilize the back yard much, there is a nice set of Adirondack chairs and low table to hang out at, in addition to a wooden, round table and chairs to eat outside. Would I stay here again? Yes, I would.

Perfect house for us

The location is unbeatable. We hopped on and off the beach easily, wandered into town through the day. The house is spacious, well-equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Easy and quick communication with the owner when needed. We hope to return next summer.

The property was all it was promoted to be and more. Great location, great facilities, easy to do business with. A few challenges with the key pad entry and a water leak from an upstairs bathroom, but nothing that impaired our enjoyment.

House is attractive and located in great neighborhood. Easy walk to town. Lots of porches and balconies off of bedrooms and common rooms. Higher porches have ocean views. House was clean and the owner was responsive and helpful. Lots of places for our group to hang out. Would stay again.

Amazing time as we build a tradition

We continue to come to Oak Bluffs each year with our family and friends (with kids ranging from ages 2-3). We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home in an amazing location. This island is special in many ways and our experience in this home from reservation to checkout was smooth and incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We had a wonderful stay...plenty of room for all. A bit cold the first couple of nights...didn't know how to put heat on. Location, location...next to everything. My host was wonderful. The second floor toilet was not working and I reached out and Kendall got right back to me. Only one key worked. That was the one in the lock box which we used all weekend. There was a second set of car keys with a house key hanging on kitchen hook. This did not fit in the lock, so we just shared one. We loved out stay. It was a bit expensive but close to the beach and Oak Bluffs "happenings" which was great. Thank you, Tracy Nadeau

Beautiful Home but lack of AC is a challenge

This was our second year in this home. It’s location is perfect and the home is beautiful. However, in the middle of July it’s extremely hot in the house. Given the way heat rises the third floor became untenable for our group. It felt like a sauna up there and after sleeping there one night a couple of the babies in our party got heat rashes. The portable AC up there did not work and the owner was unable to send someone to fix it.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 September 2022
Hi Moses - thank you for the feedback and letting me know the brand new AC unit was not working properly. When things like this happen on the island, it is a challenge to get a repair or replacement in a timely manner. We were hopeful that having an AC unit on the third floor would be a happy surprise (and work!) and I am sorry it didn't. It's one of the reasons we will continue to indicate there is no AC. But we will also continue to try out other options. Thanks again, Kendall

Misleading Rental Listing Made For HELLishly Hot & Uncomfortable Stay - RENTERS, KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Summer rentals at a beachfront location appeal because of a few important things we all (7 of us) were expecting, but didn't get. OCEAN and CROSS BREEZES throughout the house we DID know beforehand had NO a/c units are a MUST. But, if main doors & several key windows don't have SCREENS, they can't always be left open to allow for that, especially at night when all the insects come out. The doors to all the balconies in the house, & some bedroom windows were GLASS, & the ability to enjoy summer night breezes & atmosphere was non-existent. That may have been the worst thing, since it wasn't even MENTIONED in the rental listing, & if we'd known it, we would've passed on the house. In a way because of that, & the extreme heat of this particular summer, upon check-in, the 3-level house, which had been COMPLETELY sealed up by previous renters and/or "cleaning crew", was an INFERNO, especially on the 3rd floor, and also because the 2nd floor bathroom FLOOR HEAT SYSTEM was left ON for who knows how long, and registered at 97 degrees! We had 2 small kids with us, & an ER doctor who said the 3rd floor was uninhabitable...so for close to 4 hours, we scrambled to open EVERYthing to allow for any measure of comfort as we battled the heat. I called Kendall & sternly explained the horrible situation to her, and she told me no one had ever complained about having no screens before, which is hard to fathom, but did say if I bought more fans (as some of hers in the house weren't working), she'd reimburse me for them...so I did, & she paid back right away. By around 7-8pm, we were all in favor of leaving, but island hotels were fully booked, & we had to stay the week. The weather did get a bit better but the house remained VERY uncomfortable, even after Kendall had 2-3 portable A/C units brought to the house, which then ran 24/7 for the week, as with all the fans. But to add real insult to injury, Kendall NEVER followed up the next day - or at all for that matter - to see if we were ok, or if things had gotten any better at her house. A hinge had also broken on one of the main doors making it not 100% securable. We told her but nothing was done to fix it while we were there, & still no follow-up. The rental cost $8,000 basically for a week in a hotbox. The rental listing has a HUGE omission about comfort but ONLY has 15 glowing reviews over 5+ yrs & not ONE bad experience until now? Seems odd, but ok, there is now. OK house, great location, zero comfort.

About the host

Hosted by Kendall Cammermeyer

Host profile image
This is our family summer home that has been in the family for three generations. We spent all of our childhood summers in this home.

Why they chose this property

Our summer home has an amazing location and is more spacious than other rentals in Oak Bluffs. The bedrooms are roomy and the views are great. It is so easy and fun to walk to town or the beach or the playground, and so very relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy a summer breeze.

What makes this property unique

Unlike most summer cottages in the area, we have a large back yard. The house is ideally situated, the location seriously can't be beat! The large front porch is a perfect spot for coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the evening. Enjoy the ocean breezes!
