Overview
5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, sleeps 9, enclosed sun porch and covered porch
'The Red House' is perfectly located - very quiet, yet only a 10 minute walk to town. This beautiful home is directly on Oak Bluffs Harbor. You can relax on the back porch and watch all the harbor activity. There is a deep water dock, if you want to bring your boat along (, with water but NO ELECTRIC). Four of the five bedrooms, as well as the dining room, living room and sun porch, have a view of the harbor. Four of the bedrooms have window AC units. (there is no central AC in the remainder of the house - not needed with the great sea breeze!) The town of Oak Bluffs is only a short walk away. There are many restaurants, pubs, movie theaters, ice cream and coffee shops, a food market and post office located both around the harbor and on the main street of town. Public transportation is available, as well as bicycle, scooter and car rentals. You can take a bus tour of the island, rent boats and jet skis, or take a local fishing trip. There is a public beach within walking distance.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This guest couldn't get the review to submit to HomeAway. She sent me a copy in an email which I posted below:
Carla,
I copied and pasted this from the review which I don't think went through when I tried to submit it.
We sent a deposit check to you for next year's rental of the Red House.
My best regards.

_____________________________________________________________
Location, location, location...you have it. The harbor views and walk to town location are ideal.
The property has been steadily improved over three years of our two week rentals.
The photos are fair and show the house accurately.
The owner and caretaker are very available to step in when help is needed.
We would recommend the property, and will be renting again next summer.

Wonderful!

Perfect!
The "Red House" was perfect for our long weekend stay. The location, house and scenery are amazing. House is exactly as pictured...spacious, comfortable and perfect for a large group! The views from the back deck are breathtaking especially at sunrise & sunset. The location is key, walking distance to beach and downtown Oaks Bluff/Ferry. I can't say enough great things about this rental!
We Loved the Red House and Location
The house is charming, comfortable and fit two families and friends with ease. We loved the setting on the harbor and the ability to walk into town to all of the restaurants. We picked up several meals to go because our view on the porch was wonderful and we could relax and eat. Parking was easy and Oak Bluffs was a great spot for visits to other parts of the island. We enjoyed sightseeing, but were always extremely happy to return to the Red House.
Great Location, Spacious Home and Stunning Views
Absolutely loved the house and stunning views - what a location! Our children and grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed their summer vacation at this lovely home. The front lawn offered so much room for the grandchildren to run around, play games, feed the ducks and best of all, to walk down the dock to visit their grandparents on our sailboat. The house has a great layout, spacious bedrooms and a large porch for dining, playing cards and watching the sights in the harbor. We walked into town to enjoy the Lookout Tavern, Nancy's, Linda Jean's, the carousel, arcade and of course, the Black Dog. We had a wonderful week and look forward to our return stay next summer!
Setting, space and location are excellent!
This is a wonderful, older home perfect for a family vacation. It is set on a quiet street yet so close to all the Oak Bluffs activity. The owners were always available for questions and very easy to work with.
AMAZING!!!!!!!
We had another amazing week at the Red House! We have been vacationing at the Red House on the Vineyard for the past 5 years with our children and it is perfect for us. The location, dock for fishing, jumping, swimming not to mention being able to dock your boat steps away, tons of space and we love the homes old island charm. The owners have made many improvements over the years that have even added to our perfect vacation.
Great property with a wonderful location and view.
Thank you for the use of your lovely home on Martha’s Vineyard. We have returned from a great week with friends and family. The home has a beautiful view and a great location. We were comfortable and had plenty of space for everyone. Providing sheets and towels made it easy for us to pack. We look forward to hopefully renting again next summer.
