About this property

Location, Charm, & Steps to Town/Beach -- Central AC, 100% Renewable Energy

(Note: for 2025, we are renovating the upstairs bath and creating a more spa-like shower. New Photos by late March, roughly). This home is perfectly located - a short walk to Inkwell Beach, downtown Oak Bluffs, and the OB Ferry. One side of the home is bordered by the Nashawena Park Greenway, which offers a pleasant stroll to the beach and waterfront, while just around the corner you will find tennis and basketball courts, as well as a playground. There is also a convenience store just steps away.
Inside the home you will find a freshly renovated kitchen, two full bathrooms with modern renovations, central AC, antique hardwood floors, and high efficiency washer/dryer. Outside, there is a large wrap-around farmers porch with gas grill and large outdoor dining table, as well as an adjacent outdoor shower with changing area. Bedroom on first floor can also be used as a den, with TV and a desk. You may also want to check out my other listings: 43151 and 43322.

Great house, great host!
We have stayed at many Vrbo properties both domestically and internationally over the past decade, this is by far the most well stocked house we have ever stayed at. Cooking necessities, paper goods, towels, supplies, batteries, lightbulbs, etc, etc. It is obvious the host cares about the property and his guests. Would not hesitate to rent from this host again, be it this property or one of his others.

We all had a fabulous time in this well equipped home. We had a couple issues that was resolved quickly. Thank you Joe! We like that it was walkable to town, beach, playground for the little ones, and having Tony’s Market just a block away for last minute items. Great deli sandwiches for the beach. I would highly recommend staying here for multi-family gathering. We all agree that this is a home we would return again. Thank you from California Bay Area families.

A Mother's Day Getaway
This May, my two siblings and I treated our 78 year old mother to a trip to MV for Mother's Day weekend. None of us had ever been to the island and we were all very excited to explore. This was also my first experience with VRBO. The Oak Bluffs house is in an excellent location within walking distance to the town and the beach area. It is in a residential and the interior is comfortable and quiet. The photos of the interior are accurate and we found the kitchen, bathroom and related appliances and amenities all in excellent condition. You wont run out of towels! There are three bedrooms and a large full bath upstairs and a second bathroom off the kitchen on the main floor. The fourth bedroom is off the kitchen and was likely converted from being an office or sunroom. I slept there on the daybed and enjoyed the space. My siblings and mother found the upstairs rooms comfortable and pleasant, but desired tv sets in their rooms for late night viewing. The owner was at the property when we arrived checking on some recent work and he graciously provided a brief tour of the house and recommended a local grocery store for snacks after our day of travel. I should also add that he checked in via email during our stay and was extremely helpful and generous with his time in retrieving my mother's cell phone which she left behind at the house. Though we were just four adults, I believe the house can accommodate 6-8 easily. I will certainly check this property first for a return.

First Family Trip to the Vineyard
We are still floating on cloud nine after our trip. We have been asked to go to the Vineyard for the last ten years but as owners of a beach house on the Eastern Shore it was hard to pay for a beach trip but this house, it’s location and the town were well worth it. Having a family vacation with kids and a mother in law in her 80s we needed a place that was walkable, accessible and met all our needs and the house did just that. Cooking and preparing meals was easy, and Joe has thought of everything. I was pleased with the cleanliness and the dual air conditioning system was perfect. We will def be back and hope Joe’s place will be available!!

Location and Charm is right!
Another lovely trip to Martha’s Vineyard and Oak Bluffs this year. The house is clean and comfortable. Joseph was a dream to work with. Our family consisted of 4 adults and two children and there was plenty of room for all of us. There is a small bedroom on the first floor with a daybed and desk which was perfect for a crib setup. A full bathroom is provided on the first floor. There are 3 bedrooms and a large full size bathroom are upstairs with a shower and a tub. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of eating and cooking utensils. There is central A/C throughout which was a huge bonus. The porch provided plenty of seating for everyone and there is a side yard for the kids to play. The Circuit Ave. traffic is busy, but you can only hear it when you are sitting outside. Location is within walking distance to the shops, the beach, and a nearby park. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Joseph for use of your lovely home!

The house is great! We had 5 adults. The 2 bathrooms are awesome. The deck is beautiful. It's a very short walk to Oak Bluffs where you can do everything. Our first time to MV, and this place made it wonderful. Joseph is amazing - always timely response if we had questions. Would go back in a second!

Loved our week long stay here
Had an amazing time at this home for our week in Oak Bluffs! Very centrally located which was great because many of us did not have a car. About a 10 min walk into town and there is a local market right around the corner which came in handy many times. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly need to cook at home and we loved having breakfast each morning on the outdoor patio area!

Another great stay in Oak Bluffs
We have vacationed in Martha’s Vineyard a number of times and have been fortunate to stay in great accommodations. No exception here. This house was perfectly located and very comfortable for all: nicely updated and a great place to hang out when not out and about. Being able to walk to the center of Circuit Ave in minutes was so convenient and we highly recommend going to the Back Door bakery for their oversized apple fritters and donuts.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph McMahon

Host profile image
I had been renting out my Edgartown house since 1998 (VRBO 43322) and found that I really enjoyed the whole process -- the summer rentals, the renovations, spending time on MV, and so on, which motivated me to purchase this home that Circuit Ave. I eventually purchased one more home on MV around 2006 (vrbo 43151) and then a vacation condo in San Diego. Owning these homes is a pleasure for me (most of the time!) and I think that may be the most important element in the whole process. I can't imagine doing this kind of work if you did not enjoy it. I really appreciate the fact that guests come to my homes for what may be their one true vacation of the year, and this time is very important to each guest. I keep that in mind as I constantly update and maintain my homes to what I hope you find to be a high level of quality.

Why they chose this property

While we put an equal amount of effort and care into all three MV homes, and while I can't say that I value any one property over another, if we were to move to the Vineyard this is the home we would choose to live in. It's difficult to pinpoint what makes a property 'special,' but I think the fact that we often consider living in this home ourselves is the strongest statement we could make about our thoughts on this property.

What makes this property unique

The combination of the old and the new makes this home stand out. While it has the look and feel of a cottage, it also has great modern amenities like two good-sized modern bathrooms, central AC, brand new solid wood kitchen cabinets, and newer dishwasher and washer/dryer.
