The turquoise, blue waves, though mildly cool in the month of June, shimmer under the watchful eye of the powerful sun. Alternating between dips in the water and lazy siestas on the sand, we thanked our lucky stars for deciding to book a stay at Martha’s Vineyard months in advance, which just happened to coincide with a spectacularly breezy and warm weekend.

Beautiful property!

It was my first time on the island, and the house could not have been more perfect for our needs. Perfect location, very clean, and everything we needed. I would stay here again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The space was perfect for 6 guests. Location was perfect for traveling into town. Easy to walk, bus stop nearby or short drive to shopping, restaurants and beaches. Very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely stay there 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.

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!

Canary Cottage

The house was a great place to hang out and allow us to roam all the in the Vineyard-the beaches, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, museum, restaurants, etc. It served its purpose! Convenient to walk or take bus. However, for the price, many things were broken-screen door, kitchen faucet leaked, bottom rack in dishwasher came off rails every time, kitchen had tons of ants (we bought traps ourselves), dryer worked very slowly, two upstairs bedrooms not air conditioned, could have used more pillows and hangers. We would rent this house again, but hope these issues will be addressed. Quiet, spacious, good home to accommodate large amount of guests.
