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!

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.

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.

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!

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!!

Great stay
Everything about the property was great. Check in process, communication, and location is perfect.. The only criticism I have is the AC is insufficient for the unit.

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!
