Perfect stay!

Our one week stay at Laura's property was absolutely perfect! As the listing states, we didn't need a car to get to anything on Oak Bluffs and the property itself was exactly what we needed. We will definitely consider booking this property again next year when we return to Martha's Vineyard!

Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Hands down, the best experience we have had in Martha’s Vineyard in almost 20 years of being summer renters-from the amazing location to the beautiful apartment with every amenity imaginable to the responsive hosts. We would love the opportunity to repeat this experience!

Gem of the Ocean was a perfect place to enjoy our anniversary. Walkable to most everything, great luxurious towels, along with amazingly comfortable pillows and bed made this a wonderful getaway! Our host responded almost immediately to the few questions that came up. Would definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Martha’s Vineyard.From the moment we arrived, the space felt bright, clean, and welcoming. The abundance of windows fills the space with beautiful natural light, and overlooking Ocean Park made every morning feel special. If you’re an early riser you won’t find a better sunrise anywhere on earth.Our host was exceptional. She was incredibly responsive to every question we had before our arrival, replying within just a few minutes. Check-in was seamless, and having a dedicated parking space behind the house made coming and going easy.The location couldn’t have been better. We were within easy walking distance of the beach, shops, restaurants, the harbor, and everything Oak Bluffs has to offer, yet the home still felt peaceful and relaxing.The property was exactly as advertised—beautifully maintained, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It quickly felt like a home away from home.We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect Martha’s Vineyard getaway.

Great location, originally booked for 2pp, ended up with 4pp, which was a little tight for the space. Minor issues with thermostat and broken towel rack. Would definitely rebook if i come back with 2pp.

You can not beat this location. You wake each day to the most beautiful sunrises and can walk to everything. It's the perfect space for a small family or group of 4. The balconies were a lovely way to enjoy the views and excellent people watching. The host is gracious and responsive. Summer breeze made no AC not an issue on most days. All of the neighbors are friendly and while you don't need a car, parking is available if needed. We rented a car for a day to see the entire island and it was great to not have to worry about parking. A totally delightful first time experience.

Summer Renters…

My family and I travel to Martha’s Vineyard every summer, my husband and I were married at the Winnetu near South Beach. After many hotel, condo and house rentals year after year, by far this was the most convenient, most comfortable and most scenic stay we’ve ever had. This condo is perfect for a family or group of four. Spacious, clean, cool AC and comfortable beds and couch! The kitchen is well equipped and the washer/dryer were ideal! The views, balconies, in-town location and picturesque view of Ocean Park is more than worth the booking! The first morning, we awoke to the most stunning sunrise you’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for an incredible stay, we look forward to many more bookings with you!!

Marvelous on MV

What a lovely gem of a place this unit was. From the moment you entered and to your right was the most picturesque view of the sea. The unit was light and not too much furniture. A lamp/reading light would be sufficient for evening reading. Although the King bed was spacious we found it on the squishy side. Perhaps a firmer mattress might suffice. The kitchen was a joy to cook in. Everything was there we needed for some delicious meals. Would definitely consider returning back to this unit.

We had a fantastic stay at the Gem of the Ocean! You couldn’t ask for a better location: walkable to pretty much everything in OB, very close to the bus if visiting other towns, and amazing views. The unit itself is quite spacious, particularly the master. We were two adults and two teenagers and had enough space for a week. Kitchen are bathroom are fine, nothing fancy but no problems. We lucked out on weather so didn’t need a/c in the master. And while there are ample fans, I could see it being hot if the temperature got really high. All in all, count yourself lucky if you get to stay here. We hope to be back ourselves!

Carrie - Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review! We’re delighted to hear you had a fantastic stay at Gem of the Ocean and that the location, space, and views made your time in OB memorable. It’s wonderful to know the layout worked well for your family and that everything in the unit met your needs. We appreciate your feedback about the temperature. Our minisplit a/c installing was planned for this Spring but it has now been scheduled for the Fall due to supply chain issues. We’re excited to add this upgrade to make future stays even more comfortable year-round! You were a pleasure to host, and we would love to welcome you back anytime.

Perfect location, but HOT in the Summer!

PROS: There's not a better location in Oak Bluffs. You can walk to everything, there's parking, and the views of the park are wonderful. The beds are really comfy, with great mattresses and soft sheets. The baclonies have good furniture and great views. The owner provides excellent and prompt communication and she genuinely carres about the quality of your stay. CONS: The air conditioning is simply not adequate for the unit. The condo is warmer than the outside temps. The lowest we could get the unit on a hot July day was 81 degrees in the main area and 83 degrees in the bedrooms. NOTE: The owner apologized for the AC and stated that she is trying to get central AC in the unit. In the meantime, however, there needs to be more portable floor units - one for each bedroom.

We always value guest feedback, especially when it follows positive communication during the stay. After the guest expressed concerns about temperature, we offered to move them to an alternate home with enhanced cooling, in a beautiful location on the island, which was declined. We also extended a gift certificate to a favorite local ice cream shop in Circuit Ave as a goodwill gesture in response to their concern, which was warmly received. The weather during that time was mild, and the A/C units have kept the home comfortable throughout the summer. Our guests consistently love the home’s comfort, location, and thoughtful touches—even during peak season. While individual experiences can vary, we remain committed to ongoing upgrades, including scheduled installation for central A/C this fall, and take pride in offering a welcoming, well-maintained stay in the heart of Oak Bluffs.
