Less than 3 miles to Lambert’s Cove Beach, one of the most beautiful white sand beaches on the island (walk-on beach stickers are available from Parks and Recreation for a small fee); a short walk to State Forest hiking and bike trails, minutes to West Tisbury Center and Martha’s Vineyard airport.

Wow! What a spot! I almost don’t want to review it so i can gatekeep it!! But I can’t keep this from anyone- perfect beach house. PERFECT location for a relaxing, disconnected, beach vacation in nature. West Tisbury is so special and lamberts cove beach is an absolute dream. There are walking trails at the end of the road, grocery store and breakfast spot very close. We had the best time, and cannot wait to go back.

Lovely cottage and location

We had a great stay at Oakhaven Cottage. It's in a beautiful wooded area near Manuel Correllus state forest, with plentiful running and biking paths just half a mile away, and wonderful solitude and quiet. An easy drive to Vineyard Haven and West Tisbury towns/shops. We loved just relaxing in the Adirondack chairs in the front yard, reading and taking in the fresh air. Comfy bed, spacious bathroom and kitchen areas. Accessible to both up island and down island. In all, we had a lovely visit and hope to come again.

The Cottage on Oak Lane was a superb property and host experience for both my wife and I. Everything was clean and prepared upon entry. Having (quality) towels and linens provided was a huge plus. The grill is older but works perfectly. The dirt road Oak Lane is a bit long but extremely well maintained, low travelled, and provides excellent privacy. Our communication with the host gets an A and we used the in house guide to source several excellent activities. My wife and I would rent here again and would highly recommend this property for other couples looking for a getaway on MV away from the bustle of town.

A stay off the beaten path

We had a nice stay at the cottage. The cottage itself was a little bit more rustic than we had anticipated based on photos and description, but worked for us. It’s in a nice setting in the woods that offers a decent amount of privacy, the trade off being it’s at least a 15 min drive to most places of interest. The lofted bedroom area was nice but may be difficult for those with little ones as the sound carries from the downstairs and there is no door to close. There was also no curtain on the front door which you need to walk by the access the only bathroom. Additionally there was no fan in the bathroom which made getting multiple people ready a challenge. Overall a nice stay that would be perfect with a few updates.

Wonderful cabin

Wonderful cabin located both in the center of MV and in the middle of state forest. The house feels very new. We stayed with two young children (3 and 1) - maybe a bit tight for a group that size, but would be very comfortable for three folks. Would come back!

We had a fantastic visit to the vineyard and this cottage made the stay wonderful. The cottage was clean and spacious for two people. The owner’s communication was superb. We loved how central located it was to all parts of the island. We would strongly recommend. Thanks for a memorable visit.

Perfectly peaceful

We'd been to Martha's Vineyard before and stayed in Edgartown, which was wonderful, but wanted a different experience this time. This cottage in the woods off of a dirt road was perfect. It had everything we needed to make it our home for a few days. You'll want a car if you stay here so you'll be able to wander around the island. We did an up-island driving tour one day, hiked through beautiful forests, and saw stunning vistas at Menemsha Hills and Aquinnah. We also rented bikes and really enjoyed the nearby bike trails and a beautiful arboretum. Coming "home" to the cottage each day was such a treat. We loved sitting by the firepit one night. We even got brave enough to buy lobsters and steam them ourselves, and enjoyed them at the picnic table in the yard. The outdoor shower was an invigorating treat after an early morning bike trip. Laura provided lots of helpful information and we had a great chat with Kevin the handyman when he stopped by. My only complaint is that our three-night stay was too short!

Quaint Cute Cottage

Loved, loved, loved this cottage pictures are totally accurate. Off the beaten path, super quiet, super clean, you can eat off the floors! Looks like it is newly built. Feels like you are totally secluded; had a family of deer visit every morning and at dusk. Very roomy for 3 people. I love cooking and there were plenty of kitchen utensils including pots and pans of all sizes. We would definitely book again!!! The Stop’nShop in Vineyard Haven has some of the best prices, beats my supermarket prices back home! The only downside or must is that one needs a car or some type of transportation because the cottage is 1 mile from the main road that has bus transportation (that will take you around the island) and that 1 mile road is unfortunately quite dusty. But again will book in a heartbeat!

Very accommodating, lovely comfortable bed, would like to see a way to heat the bathroom - cold mornings, and perhaps another mat for the floor. I kept dragging the one that was in there everywhere I went. Kitchen, dining area, table in the breeze way with the umbrella were wonderful places to eat. We also loved the bike and walking paths nearby as well as the easy access to Vineyard Haven. Thank you for all of your efforts. Best, Bill and Sue
