About Rebecca

The Pennacook House is a wonderful place for family gatherings, play and relaxation, with island activities for all ages right near by.

Here I am collecting shells at the beach with my twins.

Rebecca purchased this house in 1994
Why Rebecca chose Oak Bluffs

My husband and I visited Martha's Vineyard in the spring of 1994 and fell in love with the island and the town of Oak Bluffs. We found the Pennacook House for sale, bought it and spent the next year completely renovating it. We love the island in winter, too! It's peaceful and ideal for long walks or cozying up on the couch with a Latte from Espresso Love.

Idyllic House & Location

Idyllic House & Location

Submitted: April 27, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
As soon as I stepped through the door of the Pennacook House I felt comfortable and at home. All the amenities you need are provided and the location of the house is perfect. Even though it was off-season and a number of the shops weren't open yet I still found plenty to do in the area. I was lucky to have sunshine everyday and got to enjoy many walks. Martha's Vineyard at this time of year is very relaxing and just what I was looking for.
The owner, Rebecca, was very helpful and provided all the necessary information (and I received my deposit back very quickly).
Beautiful island and house!! Thank you.

Yet another great week at Pennacook House

5 of 5
Submitted: September 28, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This year was our second time to spend a week at Pennacook House.Every aspect of the house is exceptional.1. Located well within walking distance of the center of Oak Bluffs,5 minutes maybe.2. The street is quiet and the house is next to a church on one side and the back of the property backs up to the parking lot of the church (well protected for privacy).3 The house has all amenities that one would expect,especially for small children.4. The house has full baths on the 2nd and 3rd floor,providing a quiet refuge for grandparents on the 3rd floor.5.The home was spotless upon our arrival and Peter the local rep is quite responsive.6.and lastly the owners are great to deal with!!!!
Owner's Response: So glad you love our home! We look forward to having you again next year.

Wonderful house

5 of 5
Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We were two families with four children total (ages 15, 10, 4, 2). The house was perfect for our needs - plenty of space for everyone, walking distance to the beach, a two minute walk to the main street in Oak Bluffs with all of the shops, cafes, etc., and an easy drive to all of the Martha's Vineyard sites. We loved our stay and would highly recommend the property to others. The owner was extremely pleasant and responsive.

Home Away From Home Indeed

5 of 5
Submitted: September 4, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
After over 40 years of travel, both domestic and international, and having domiciled in ten different countries, we feel qualified to say that the Pennacook experience has been the closest to being a “home away from home.”
Notwithstanding the pure comfort of the house with all its amenities, the walking proximity to all the excitement of Oak Bluffs downtown, the campground’s 1800’s rainbow-colored Victorian houses and the short distance to the Atlantic, it was the community ambience enhanced by the large front porch seating that made our stay unforgettable. Chatting with next door neighbors and walking folks, we felt like lifelong neighbors.
In answer to the question would we repeat such a venture at the Pennacook, the response is an unequivocal YOU BET!

Memorial Day Weekend 2012

5 of 5
Submitted: July 7, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
My son graduated from college in Boston the end of May and my parents are getting up in age. I knew the drive to the graduation would be quite long from our home in upstate NY. Returning home right away would have been too much for them. They wanted to drive and refused to fly. Following the graduation I arranged the trip to Martha's Vineyard to savor our time together.

Well, I must say arranging the trip to Martha's Vineyard was a great idea and staying at the Pennacook House was an even a better one, as it exceeded all expectations. The house was so neat, spacious and comfortable and much to the liking of my family of four, my mom, dad and sister. Everyone had their own bedroom. We grilled in the back yard, walked to town to shop and dine, played tennis a short block away, went to the beach and just had a fabulous time creating really special memories.

Rebecca, the owner was quite accomodating and easily reachable for all of my questions. I highly recommend the Pennacook House for an especially comfortable and relaxing vacation.
