Fabulous home
This was a charming cottage in a great location -- we could easily walk to a public beach and to the Oak Bluffs commercial area, with all the shopping and restaurants. Winston's takeout was just a block away. We had a car, but could have easily had a very enjoyable time without one in this location. The house is fully renovated, with impressive professional interior design and decorating. The furnishings are comfortable, and the house is very well equipped with most anything you need. My one disappointment was lack of a dishwasher (the listing doesn't claim one, but I didn't think to check and just assumed). Otherwise, the home, yard, location are all impeccable! We would definitely stay here again (and just bring some paper plates ;) ).
