Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

East Chop - Great Location! : The house is in a perfect location to enjoy the beach, the woods and the quiet. Access to the house is by a dirt road and there are no busy roads or traffic noises nearby, making it safe and peaceful, while convenient to all local amenities, by foot, bike, boat or car. There have been many upgrades in the last several years, including; new roof and windows, a new downstairs bathroom with warm floor tiles, a rebuilt porch, shingling, painting, new living room furniture, and kitchen to help make it as warm and comfortable in the spring and fall, with the fireplace's Vermont Casting propane stove, as it is in the summer. Most guests return year after year in the summer or for off-season weeks. Others come back intermittently for weddings, romantic weekends, and family gatherings. Our former Methodist Campground cottage was moved from downtown Oak Bluffs by horse and cart, around the harbor and up the hill to East Chop Highlands sometime before 1896.

It has been added onto extensively since then. An old photograph from before 1896 shows the house with old gingerbread trim on a gabled end, a balcony that no longer exists, as well as an older woman sitting in a rocker on the porch. Her age in the picture and the age of the photo indicate that she may have been born around the time of Jefferson's presidency. An extensive description of the house and how it has been renovated over the decades appears in the back of the locally famous ''Guide to East Chop Families'', written by a cousin of the owner, Jane Meleney Coe. The house is fully equipped in the kitchen, in the dining room, on the porches and for beach picnics, as well as on the deck where barbecuing and dinner under the stars is a favorite activity. The house is ready for your laptop with 2 desks and secure wireless broadband service. The living room has the TV with expanded cable, a boom box equipped with a tuner, a CD player, and an iPod docking station.

Outside furniture, beach chairs, an adult bicycle and numerous beach toys are available in the basement, which is near the hot and cold water outside shower and change area. There is a rowboat available in Oak Bluffs harbor, and a Sunfish sailboat for use in either the harbor or off of Oak Bluff's public Jetty Beach, just down the path from the house. Trips to town are easy for walkers or bikers, and local restaurants, like the Ocean View, and convenient newspaper, food and liquer stores like Our Market and Tony's Market are close at hand. The house has a nice lawn with an underground sprinkler system. A hammock is hidden in the woods, and bird feeders and innovative ''yard art'' sculptures grace the gentle setting. Additional pictures of the house, as it now appears, are available upon request. Please contact the owner via email for questions you may have. We hope you plan a visit to our summer home this year.

Golf: There are three golf courses on the island: Mink Meadows, Vineyard Haven - Public 9 holes; Farm Neck, Oak Bluffs - Public 18 holes; Edgartown Country Club, Edgartown - Private 18 holes.

Other Activities: Bike & Nature Trails, Beaches, Charter Fishing, Shell fishing, Kayaking, Beach Picnics, Concerts, Car Shows, Fishing Tournaments, Golf, Art Galleries!

Tranquil environment close to Town

East Chop Family Hainesport, NJ
Review Submitted: March 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
Our family has been staying at this home away from home for eight summers. We love the seclusion of the house - yet the closeness to town and just steps from East Chop beach. Great location for walks along the bluffs in the morning and then back to the house for coffee on the sprawling back porch. Plenty of room for great dinners in the dinning room and a warming atmosphere by the fireplace on late Augusts cool evenings. Accomodations are great for friends and family to entertain. Mornings on the back porch and evening on the front porch. Just minutes to walk into Oak Bluffs - you won't miss a beat!

Owner's Response: Thanks your the review. We love the spot, too! Some things new for this year are a rowboat and a sunfish available down by the harbor. You need to bring your own PFDs (personal floatation devices), and boating and swimming skills.

East Chop rental

Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My husband and I and some good friends have rented this house for several summers and have thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It was clean, spacious and light, with good hang out spots on both the front deck and back porch. The kitchen is very workable. The landlord was friendly and responsive. We particularly enjoyed being a very short walk to a great beach, and could also easily walk into town.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Thanks for your review! The town's Jetty Beach and access to Oak Bluffs Harbor on the East Chop side is beautiful, and a lot of fun. There is also an osprey nest and a boat ramp nearby.

GREAT SHARK WEEK

Review Submitted: March 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We rented this cottage for 2 years in a row , with the uipdated kitchen and amenities it was super for the 2 boat crews that stayed here. We had comfortable bedding and was nice having the half bath upstairs. The out door shower was a big hit as some of the crew never had taken an outdoor shower.

Owner's Response: Thanks for the review! Fishing is also good from Sept-Oct during the Striped Bass - Bluefish Derby

East Chop Vacation House

Ron and Ruth Cambridge, MA
Review Submitted: March 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My family has rented this special cottage every summer for 5 yrs, along with 2 other families. The owner goes out of his way to be helpful and lovingly maintains the property.The house is delightful, with many comfortable hang-out spots (DR,LR, sun room & 2 large porches), 5 BRs which somehow accommodated all 3 families comfortably, and a newly renovated kitchen and main bathroom. It is set back on a wooded lot that feels very private, but is walking distance to town (we felt fine letting our kids come and go on their own which they loved). There is access to a sweet beach and great bike routes. Our kids have moved on to other plans, but they loved every minute and are already as nostalgic as we are.
As you can tell by now, we loved this place and highly recommend it.
