Oak Bluffs Harbor view...walk to town & beach
Oak Bluffs, Highlands Section of East Chop Vacation Rental - ID 8766

Another wonderful week at the Seasaw! We love how quiet and comfortable the house is. The location gives us time to relax, catch up with family, eat good meals, and walk to OB for fun in town. Plus, we can get to the beach by foot or Vineyard Haven by bus. Hard to beat the full package that the house provides!

We had a great week at the Seasaw. It was a perfect location….close enough to walk to town and the beach but far enough away to enjoy the quiet!! The setup was perfect for 2 extended families and we all loved the outside shower!! The porch was the best and sitting on the porch has always been our favorite pastime when we are on the island. Deborah and her husband were amazing hosts and very responsive to all our questions. We would definitely love to stay at the cottage again. Thanks for sharing it with us!

We stayed for two weeks for a second year in a row. The home has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. But obviously the highlight is the location! One could sit on that front porch all day and night- and we did as often as we could! The kids loved running around the field with a kite or a ball. Walking to Jetty beach was perfect. Having Our Market a stone's throw is SO convenient! If you forget something or need to run and get something quick, including alcohol, it's just a couple minute walk across the field. Walking into town each evening was easy, lovely, and it's always a plus when you don't have to worry about parking! We love staying at The Seasaw and hope we can continue to rent here! Thank you!

This is our third year renting this property. The house is large and in a great location. Walking distance to the beach, ferry and downtown Oak Bluffs. The house is overlooking the marina so you can watch the boats and ferries. The house has all the essentials that you need for barbecuing and cooking in the kitchen. Even though the location is close to everything it is very quiet while you're sitting on the porch looking out into the marina.

This Cottage is Wonderful!
Located in Oak Bluffs with Harbor views and close to everything in town, yet far enough away for a peaceful vacation.
It's a great, typical Cottage with plenty of room.
I can't recommend it enough

We stayed for two weeks at the Seasaw property. It provided us with the perfect location, along with the perfect amount of space! We had two toddlers with us (having doors for both sets of stairs was clutch as we kept saying since we forgot baby gates) and there was ample space for everyone. Even when we had visitors it didn't feel cramped. The home had all one would need for a comfortable home away from home. I will be daydreaming of The view from the upstairs master and the front porch all winter long. I can't speak enough of the location. We loved walking to Jetty beach and into "town". The owners were always prompt to respond and made sure we had a wonderful stay. We can't wait to be back! We miss watching the boats come in and out of the harbor and hearing the ferries leaving. We absolutely recommend booking this property- you won't regret it!

We had a great week staying at the Seasaw. The house is very cute and quaint. My big family fit perfectly into the six bedrooms. We enjoyed Jetty beach which is a short walk and the town is also a short walk away. The house was clean and had everything you needed to grill and to cook. The central air conditioning was a giant plus. We will definitely be back.

Our second year at this home in Oak Bluffs was wonderful. It's a great house, short walk to town, and this year we had the enjoyment and comfort of a new Air Conditioning unit. The house is very well kept and a pleasure to enjoy.

We had a wonderful stay at SeaSaw in July. We loved everything about the house - it was comfortable and had everything one would need. The 2 bests things were the front porch and the location. We spent hours relaxing on the porch - it was peaceful but also allowed you to see activity in the harbor. Everyone loved it especially the grandparents that weren't able to venture out as much as the rest of us. Teenagers loved being able to go into town on their own or head to the beach. Having a beach right down the street was fantastic. Since we had cars and parking we were able to get to other beaches and Edgartown easily. We spent one day out at Menemsha enjoying the spectacular beach and fresh seafood. We love the Vineyard and this house was the perfect place for us to stay and enjoy all there is to do and see on the island. Homeowners were wonderful and very pleasant. We hope to return to SeaSaw!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. This was our second year renting, and it was everything we wanted and more. The location is ideal-- you can walk within minutes to all the bars, restaurants, beaches, etc. in Oak Bluffs. It was great that my kids didn't have to drive when they wanted to go into town. They invest in the property and had a new grill, gas stove, and central air conditioning system. The street is quiet with a nice park in the front, and we spent lots of time on the rocking chairs on the expansive front porch. The backyard is wonderful and we enjoyed the outdoor shower. The homeowners communicated very well.

Yet again Seasaw did not disappoint. We were in heaven from the minute we walked up the steps to the minute we left. We began and ended every day on the expansive porch and many rocking chairs. True Bliss! The house is fully stocked with incidentals and bowls, plates etc. ( you need to bring towels and linens) The location can't be beat as it is a stones throw from all that downtown Oak Bluffs has to offer. Major upgrade this year with central AC, it was a game changer! The owners are amazing to work with. Can't wait for our next visit!

This home was perfect for my family. It's a perfect location. You can walk to the beach, the shops and the carousel. The house was very well stocked with everything you need to cook with etc. I would definitely rent this home again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The house has so much character, wonderful porch overlooking Oak Bluffs Harbor, perfect walking distance to the beaches and town. Wish we could stay there 52 weeks of the year!

My family had a fantastic time staying at the Seasaw. Great location, spacious house, and spectacular porch! Deb and Jim were extremely accommodating and would highly recommend staying here if you need a family getaway!

This vintage home in Oak Bluffs suited our needs perfectly! Our party of seven was very comfortable in the home. We especially enjoyed the front porch rockers with shade and a constant breeze in the afternoon and evenings. A delight after a hot day at the beach! The home is very easy walking distance to downtown Oak Bluffs (but far enough away to avoid the noise!), a nice 20 minute walk to the East Chop Lighthouse, and a quick 10 minute walk to Jetty Beach which we enjoyed on more than one occasion. The outdoor shower was also great! Please note that you do have to bring your own towels and linens—we opted to rent them. My teenage son also enjoyed the "secret" room above the kitchen. Perfect when he needed a break from us ;-)

My 2 daughters (15 & 12) and 2 nephews (10 & 7) spent a glorious week at Seasaw. We had several different families stay a night or 2 over the course of the week. The layout was perfect for us! Enough bedrooms to have a little privacy, spacious gathering rooms to hang our and the kids LOVED the porch. We ate every meal outside upon the kids' request. The outdoor shower was also a huge hit as well.

The location is what drew us to the house. The kids could walk to Circuit Ave, go fishing or to the 2 beaches close by. I highly recommend this house if you have a large group that is sharing a car that wants to do different things but yet be able to meet back at the house.

The owners were a pleasure to work with. Deborah answered all my questions. Jim was available within 24 hours to fix a broken water heater (it happens). I would look forward to working with them again.

We have been staying at the Sea Saw with family for 12 years but this is the first year we rented our own week,. With the help of the owners, were able to piggy back our week with our family's meaning we got to spend two straight weeks in the house! The house has a great layout allowing all guests to have their own space. The owners are always updating something on the house every year showing they take great pride in their property. It is well stocked with all the kitchen items that you will ever need so you don't have to bring much. During our week, we stayed there with our two young daughters, and the location couldn't be more perfect....right across from a grassy park, right down the road from Jetty Beach, and a quick walk to the harbor and downtown. But some of our best memories are spent rocking or playing cards on the huge porch! We plan to come back every year we can!

This home was exactly what we needed for our annual trip to the Island. It was within a stone's throw to the Harbor and all of the restaurants (our fave is Nancy's). It was great after all of our day trips all over the Island to be able to come back and relax on one of the many rocking chairs on the front porch overlooking the Harbor and not have to get back in a car. The 6 bedrooms allowed for each of my three children to have a friend and for us to extend a one or two night invitation to different friends throughout the week. All of the kids loved their nightly treks into town, especially to Back Door Donuts. The house was clean and fully equipped. ***Do not forget to bring sheets!

This is the third year that we had the privilege to stay at Seasaw in Oak Bluffs. To say that the house is well maintained and lovingly cared for by the owners, Jim and Deb, is an understatement. The house is spacious, clean and decorated to give the visitor a sense of home. Fully equipped kitchen, large living spaces and an outside shower that my family loved...they stood in line just to use it. Walking distance to town, the harbor, and the beach...you can't get a better location or house to stay in while visiting Martha's Vineyard. Thanks, Jim and Deb, for sharing your home with my family.

I recently rented this wonderful home. The layout of the house easily accommodates a large group. I had 3 teenage boys with me and we never tripped on anyone's toes. It's ideally located, a very short walk to the bay and the main strip on Circuit Avenue. I have rented many vacation homes on the Vineyard, and this property certainly lives up to the many reviews, has a well equipped kitchen and large dining room. The location is ideal, close enough to the action and yet far enough for quiet time on the great porch. I hope to return next year.

Our family has been coming to this very special cottage for many years for our annual family gathering. It has been perfect for us in so many ways. The house is always clean, well equipped & uncluttered. It has 6 bedrooms, the location is within walking distance to the beach, shops & restaurants. The porch provides a view of the harbor and is steps away from a large park. It is loved by all ages. The owners are readily available and responsible. And we plan to return for many years to come!

We rented this house for a week with extended family. It worked out perfectly for us!
In our opinion, the best thing about it is the location!! We were able to walk to town and jetty beach easily. Owners were very easy to work with. Overall a great vacation!

If you are looking for a beautiful home away from home to spend your MV vacation, SeaSaw is the place. The house is well maintained and has all the amenities you will need to have a fun filled getaway. The house is located within walking distance of the heart of Oak Bluffs, the harbor and the beach. My friends didn't want to leave. We will definitely rent this house again. Thanks Jim and Deb for allowing us access to your wonderful house.

My family and I spent two wonderful weeks in Oak Bluffs vacationing at Seasaw! The large "cottage" was perfect, from the wrap around porch with views of the harbor to the warm nautical feel of the home. The bedrooms were quaint and comfortable, the kitchen was not only highly functional but uniquely laid out and fully equipped. We loved that our children could walk into town, various beaches and the Campground Cottages. Our hosts Jim and Deb were on top of everything and called to make sure that we were happy! We can't wait to return next summer!!!

What a delightful home to spend a memorable week with family and friends on MVI. The home has everything you need to prepare fine meals and dine indoors or outdoors in style. Walking distance to Oak Bluff attractions contributed to convenience and fun. We would definitely choose this home for our next MVI adventure.

This place was great for our extended family. Lovely home and great location. Love the porch! I could have spent my entire vacation just sitting there! And the "secret " bedroom was a fun surprise . We have spent many vacations on the island and this has to be the best place yet.

We looked for just the right home to accommodate our family over the 4th. Our two daughters with their husbands and our 4 grandchildren all under 4 years old found this property to be perfect for our needs. With all the bedrooms, large porch and open living room/dining room we never felt crowded. The cottage was well maintained and well supplied from cooking utensils to board games. The location was perfect. Walk to everything yet just far enough away not to be affected by noise from downtown O.B. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. PS. Doesn't hurt to have an excellent restaurant next door.

We spent a week in this spacious, beautiful home. There were 12 of us total, 8 kids and 4 adults. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. The kids especially liked the bunk beds and the secret room above the kitchen. The location was perfect for everyone. The kids ages 6-17 could walk to town for ice cream , the Flying Horses or the arcade. The front porch was so relaxing with beautiful views of the park and harbor. Walking to town took minutes and was the perfect way to start each day. Jetty Beach is also a very short walk, and State Beach with the famous "Jaws Bridge" is just a short drive. The Ocean View Restaurant is right next door for a quick take out order. The outdoor shower was a dream, and never ran out of hot water,,, 12 showers later! There is also a grocery/convenience store directly across the street. Everything made easy! The house was super clean and inviting, and the laundry facilities an extra bonus! Plus, we had perfect weather! Thank you so much for a memorable stay! We hope to book this house again next summer!!

Our family stayed at SeeSaw for a weekend wedding. It accommodated all nine of us comfortably - including four children, ages 21 months to 7 1/2 years. My older daughter and her family took the two bedrooms downstairs, and my younger daughter and her family took two of the three bedrooms upstairs. Although there was still one bedroom there unoccupied, I enjoyed staying in the "secret bedroom" over the kitchen - once I found it, that is! It is very cleverly concealed.

The dining room table accommodated all of us for dinner, and the wonderful kitchen table was a perfect place for the children to snack - that is, when they weren't on the front porch, which was everyone's favorite place! There is a fan for each room and a good supply of nightlights, which we very much appreciated. The house is a charming one, comfortable and well equipped, and we wanted for nothing. The location is excellent, and the owners kind and helpful from our first contact. We had a wonderful stay here.

This was our 5th year in Oak Bluffs as a 2 family party of 10, and this house was by far the best yet. It was clean, spacious and the location is perfect for families with kids. Oak Bluffs center is a short walk as is Jetty Beach and numerous restaurants. We had 6 kids in the house and you would never know it. We will be back again next year.

We spent two weeks in this warm and inviting home. The location was fabulous....5 minute walk to beach, 1 minute to store, park located across the street. The view from the front porch is beautiful. The house has plenty of room for everyone. The outside shower was a dream, and the hammock in the back yard was a great place to steal a nap. The house had everything we needed for a great vacation.
