Canary Cottage

Experience the Martha's Vineyard of yesteryear at this beautifully updated historical home, ideally located near the heart of Oak Bluffs. The ferry terminal, the Flying Horses Carousel, Oak Bluffs Town Beach - it's all within a half-mile stroll. This two-story home has stood on Brunswick Avenue since 1870, with a classic, covered front porch where you can relax in the afternoons. It's a wonderful location for walking to dinner, visiting the East Chop Lighthouse, and spending your days on Inkwell Beach or Joseph Sylvia State Beach.

Begin and end each day outside on the porch, which offers plentiful space for sipping morning coffee, playing board games in the afternoons, and sharing alfresco dinners with your loved ones. The interior has been thoughtfully updated with modern comforts while preserving the home's 150-year-old character. White walls and ceilings reflect the natural sunlight, two living rooms offer TVs with cable and streaming capability, and the eat-in kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances. Find a stacked washer/dryer for your swimsuits and towels, complimentary WiFi throughout the house, and uncluttered bedrooms to provide a restful night's sleep.

Property is not what it seems

The reviews on this property led me and my family to believe that we were staying in a safe and clean cottage. However, we were met with bullet holes in the scene and window along with dog and or cat urine on the sofa. The home smelled moldy and the sofa reeked of urine upon sitting on it.

Lovely cottage

Canary Cottage was well kept up. It is located in a quiet spot on a hill, a short walk into Oak Bluff past a bay. There is a small convenience store at the bottom of the hill. It’s walking distance from the ferry, maybe 15 minutes. Same for the bus station. We enjoyed our stay. We were three couples in our late 50’s/early 60’s.

Great home great price

We had a great trip to Canary Cottage with 8 guests. Plenty of room. Also good location - quiet neighborhood but walked downtown and to beach easily. It was not well stocked with small things like beach chairs and kitchen items but did not hinder our trip. Definitely would come back!

Quaint Home

The home was nice and accommodated our family for our week long stay. Very short walk to the central location of Oak Bluffs (Circuit Ave) and a very short ride to the beach.

Amazinf house

The Canary Cottage was clean and exceptionally location. However during our stay, we had a few minor concerns and although we reached out, they were not adequately addressed.

Wonderful location

The location was perfect. It’s closed to amenities and was very quiet and gave us a lot of privacy. The house is spacious, which gave everyone privacy. We enjoyed having the grill to bar-b-q on.

Memorial Day Weekend stay

Had a great time staying at Canary Cottage. There was a lot of space for a larger group and it was located within a short walk of downtown Oaks Bluff. The one downside was that there was a grill featured as an amenity but we unfortunately did not have access to it. Despite that I would absolutely stay again.

Fantastic Stay!

Very spacious for our family of 5 with plenty of beds and bedrooms. Kitchen was extremely well stocked and the two separate living room areas were perfect for a working vacation, where one room can be used as an office. Location was super convenient to everything in Oak Bluffs and not a far drive from other towns. Could get a little warm during peak summer months in some rooms since there isn’t central air, but the window units worked perfectly for our late June stay. Absolutely would rent this adorable cottage again!

Very Nice Place

Incredible location! We vacation on the Vineyard every single year and this house was perfect. Loved the kitchen and porch. Comfortable for an entire family. I would definitely return because the linens were lovely and the towels were fresh and clean.
