Its location puts the beach and town’s amenities within easy reach, making it a practical base for exploring Martha’s Vineyard. Inside, rooms are air-conditioned, some with kitchenettes, to meet varying traveler needs.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Charming seaside Inn with friendly service. Caroline and Julia at the front desk were incredibly helpful hosts. The free snacks in the solarium were a wonderful treat. My husband & I stayed there for a weekend wedding. We highly recommend this Inn for any Vineyard visit. Dean & Patricia”
“Fantastic location, friendly staff, and they offer breakfast! The rooms were clean, without a trace of mildew that happens in seaside hotels due to the humidity. The property is centrally located a few minutes walk from the ferries and all the OB action. The hotel has a front and a back side that are separate and steps to the rooms (no elevators). The backyard/courtyard is well maintained and a nice place to chill.”
“Clean, comfortable, and staffed by genuinely kind people—this hotel was a great find. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Oak Bluffs and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, the ferry, beaches, and bus stops to other towns. For Martha’s Vineyard, the price is very reasonable, especially considering the added perks. I really appreciated the little extras, like the self-serve area with snacks and drinks, and even beach gear available for guests—that thoughtful touch made a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again!”
