We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was the perfect location between Oak bluffs and Vineyard Haven. The house was clean and comfortable. We would stay there again.

Perfect Vineyard Cottage

I rented Lisa's property for a long weekend with a group of friends and we can't say enough about how perfect it was for us! The house has everything you would need. The views are beautiful. The location is convenient, yet private. Lisa was attentive and helpful with any questions we had! Highly recommend this rental!

Beautiful view!

This renovated barn was charming and comfortable. The hammock view cannot be beat with a view of the wildlife on the marshland and water. It is in a great location for accessing different towns and beaches. Our teen boys enjoyed having access to bicycles, using the fire pit, and cooking on the grill. We all thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful property! Would recommend for the nature lovers who want a peaceful setting, but easy access to the fun.

A nice cabin set near a pond on Martha's Vineyard.

This is a dated cottage/cabin in the Oaks Bluff section of Martha's Vineyard. It is comfortable and certainly functional, especially if you can manage the steep stairs to the upper bedroom. Four of us stayed there and had a great time exploring the island. We got off to a bad start with the owner because we came by to look at the place early, oops, a big no no. Lisa was extremely put out and rude. Our bad, learned our lesson. It was a little shocking to be treated so harshly.

The guest neglected to mention, the owner discovered them inside the property checking it out before the previous guest's check-out time (5 hrs before check-in), and did not know who they were, but only that they were not the previous guests. It's simply guest protocol not to enter an unlocked door at private property 5 hrs prior to check-in without contacting the owner for approval. The owner wasn't rude. She was concerned someone was inside the property prior to previous guest check-out time.

Great stay!

This house exceeded my expectations. It was a very charming house with a beautiful view of the pond and within walking distance to a beach and vineyard haven. Lisa was very helpful and made sure that we felt right at home. Would definitely recommend to others and hope to stay there again in the future!

Loved it!!

Our family had such a wonderful time at this house! It was extremely clean and had everything one could need including lots of thoughtful, extra touches. The property is beautiful and secluded - my kids especially loved hanging out in the hammock. Lisa is an incredible host and we highly recommend a stay!

Wonderful Home, Can't Wait to Come Back!

We enjoyed everything about this home from the host to the location! Lisa provided suggestions for places to go and made the trip even more enjoyable! The house was well equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable for much needed rest. We will definitely be coming back, it was a really great experience.

If I could explain in one sentence how helpful Lisa is, I’d simply say, “She’s a phenomenal host.”

The property is in a perfect location. It’s 10 minutes walking from Vineyard Haven & Oaks Bluff. We went with four people and our 2-year-old son. The property sits near a marsh and lagoon, making for beautiful scenery. Inside, the home feels like your own after 2-3 nights of staying there. Lisa offers everything from Kayaks to beach gear and a grill. There’s not much you’ll need that isn’t already provided outside of groceries. It’s quiet, peaceful and unique in its own way. But more impressive than the property is Lisa’s resourcefulness, help & kind manner. We can’t say enough good things about our 7-night stay.

Beautiful property!

Great stay! We went for a bachelorette party and the property was a perfect fit! Upon arrival the owner showed us everything we could have needed and continued to offer us suggestions. Loved the outdoor shower/hammock. Tons of room for sleeping and storage. Great house!
