The Oak Bluffs Inn

Magical inn! We have been staying at Oak Bluffs Inn for many years. Wouldn’t anywhere else! This past visit was for a big zero birthday and we brought my sister and her hubby. Now they are the biggest fans of this inn, its charm, and quaint rooms. Erik, the face of the Inn, greets you and gives you a tour. He makes a breakfast for you based on your wants and needs. I am a gluten free person and I had the best gluten free waffle ever topped with berries. There are snacks, umbrellas, towels, chairs and all the amenities from home. Meeting others who travel as you sit on the wrap around porch is fun too. The location is ideal as you can walk everywhere or take a bus to explore other parts of the island. There are even noise machines in the room! Oak Bluffs Inn is a hidden gem and we love it!

Eric the Innkeeper is fantastic. He is always available to take care of anything you may need. Great location off the town center. The Inn is very clean, extremely well equipped, and very inviting and comfortable. Breakfast choices were varied and delicious.

Oak Bluffs Inn, a serene 19th century establishment in the hub of the main drag, was a home away from home. We stayed in a charming one bedroom cottage on the property just steps from the main house - far enough to be in our own private oasis and close enough to easily head over to the main house for a continental breakfast or fresh baked afternoon cookies. Lovely front porch encourages you to sit, chat, or people watch - whatever your preference. Easy walk to the beach, the ferry, shopping, the gingerbread houses, and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I stayed here during the off-season, so the inn was pretty empty and extremely quiet, and a little on the cold side but the heat pump worked great for heat (and then later for cooling too). The owner, Eric, put me in the top-floor suite---this is really a complete apartment suitable for at least 4 adults on an extended stay! The suite has absolutely everything you could need, kitchen, multiple sinks, standalone bath, shower, outdoor decks, everything. Absolutely nothing was lacking. The location is ideal: 3 minutes or less walk from most of the attractions that Oak Bluffs has to offer in its "downtown" location. Directly across the street from The Sweet Life, one of the best restaurants on the island. The bed was very comfortable and the suite was spotlessly clean. Outstanding experience!

My family and I stayed at the Oak Bluffs Inn during our trip to MV a few weeks ago. Bottom line Up Front: The Oak Bluffs Inn was simply an AMAZING place to stay – two thumbs up! The Deets: The Owners are Eric and Rhonda. A wonderful couple who were really welcoming and accommodating! Eric had a great sense of humor and made us feel at home instantly. There were a few times that we needed things during odd hours and Eric always made himself available. Eric and Rhonda went well above and beyond the normal scope of service which one would typically experience while travelling. The Inn is located right at the end of Circuit Ave in Oak Bluffs, so we could walk anywhere we wanted to be in town. Super convenient for dining, shopping, and getting a quick bit of exercise! When we first walked in, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the lobby which just smelled like Home! It turns out that the cookies were a daily delicacy – and that tradition simply never got old! The bed was very comfortable and the amenities were all top notch. We had the penthouse suite – which you should *definitely* book! It has a balcony with chairs overlooking Circuit Ave. And despite the fact that the Inn has that cozy, historic building New England Bed and breakfast feel – there was a shockingly low level of noise from other rooms! We had a great deal of privacy! I lived on the Island for several years and there are plenty of places to stay – but there are very few that offer the price / value ratio of the Oak Bluffs Inn! Go for the cookies – stay for the hospitality!

I had a lovely, relaxing time at Oaks Bluff Inn. As a woman solo traveler I felt comfortable and safe at the Inn and felt very welcome by Erik and Rhonda. They gave great recommendations on things to do and the best way to get around the island.

If you're wondering if you should stay here, the answer is yes, you should. Book it. We booked last second without reading reviews and got lucky. The house was nice and very accommodating, but what made the experience was the owner. Erik is one of those people who feel like you've been friends with for years, though you just met. He made our dinner reservations for us and afterward personally led us through local night life, then escorted us back and hung out and talked. It was personalized and connected, much unlike a hotel stay. The house porch was awesome. We ate breakfast out there as the sun burned off the fog. Go ahead. Book it.

This was our first time at Oak Bluffs Inn and we will definitely return. This lovely, clean and updated Victorian is located steps away from shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The Innkeepers are laid back, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the Island. Our room was small but very comfortable (remember, this is an old Victorian not the Marriott!) it was very clean with a comfortable queen bed and high end linens. The bathroom was stocked with everything you would need and had plush towels. Unlike other hotels, our room was serviced every day and towels were replaced daily! We were served a light breakfast of our choice daily; waffles, homemade egg sandwich or granola and fruit/yogurt. There is a snack room off the hallway and in the late afternoon fresh baked cookies appeared on the dining room table! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on the island. Almost forgot to mention, you could walk from the ferry!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at the Oak Bluffs Inn. Erik is a terrific host who went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. I had a great time talking music and Vineyard history with him. When we couldn't get an Uber to take us to a wedding event, Erik volunteered to drive us all the way across the island to Chilmark. Highly recommended.
