The Samoset - Oak Bluffs, MA

Antiques and luxurious Persian rugs abound in this classic Oak Bluffs vacation rental. Watch the ships arrive at the dock from a rocking chair on the front porch, or ride your bike to the center of town. All the delights of Martha's Vineyard are just minutes away from this spacious home, perfect for families traveling together.

Situated on a bustling yet refined street, this historic cottage is just a five-minute walk to Ink Well Beach and the Oaks Bluff Steamship Authority Dock. You're also less than a half mile from the Flying Horses Carousel, the oldest in the nation.

This stately home harkens back to a more refined time but still includes modern conveniences. Inhale the hydrangeas or breathe in the ocean air as soon as you arrive. The living room is replete with a large Persian rug and antiques. A red velvet camel-back sofa sits perpendicular to a pink chesterfield as two striped chairs look on. Grab a book and enjoy it on the striped settee near the fireplace. There are so many spots to recline and relax you won't know where to sit first! And the air conditioning (in most rooms) will keep you cool and collected during the summer.

Just down the hall lies a modern and updated kitchen. There's a small two-seat dinette set as well as a stainless steel stove, fridge, and dishwasher, and cupboards holding a variety of necessary accoutrements. Enjoy a formal repast at the six-seat dining room table in the dining room.

Four bedrooms boast enough accommodations for up to eight people and brand new mattress in each. Sink into the king bed in the master bedroom, which also features hardwood floors, an antique dresser, a wicker sofa, and a beautiful door to a private balcony. A second bedroom offers a queen bed, wood furniture, a rocking chair, and a Persian rug. The last two bedrooms feature two twin beds apiece, one with bright pink coverlets, the other with more sedate green coverlets. There are also two full baths, one with a tub and the other with a standalone shower.

A cozy family room is nearby with two couches and a new 50' TV. Lean back on the rocking chairs on the front porch or enjoy a meal via the gas grill on the deck. You'll also have access to a washer and dryer, free WiFi, cable, and four beach chairs.

Oak Bluffs is one of the most popular summer colonies on Martha's Vineyard thanks to its abundant parks and activities. You can ride the Flying Horses Carousel or take a stroll through tree-lined streets. The area beaches are some of the best on the island, thanks to soft sand and warm water. There are also great eateries and shopping nearby.

Historic, charming, and forever appealing, you'll feel right at home at this Martha's Vineyard vacation rental.
