We had a fantastic stay at the Gem of the Ocean! You couldnât ask for a better location: walkable to pretty much everything in OB, very close to the bus if visiting other towns, and amazing views. The unit itself is quite spacious, particularly the master. We were two adults and two teenagers and had enough space for a week. Kitchen are bathroom are fine, nothing fancy but no problems. We lucked out on weather so didnât need a/c in the master. And while there are ample fans, I could see it being hot if the temperature got really high. All in all, count yourself lucky if you get to stay here. We hope to be back ourselves!
PROS: There's not a better location in Oak Bluffs. You can walk to everything, there's parking, and the views of the park are wonderful. The beds are really comfy, with great mattresses and soft sheets. The baclonies have good furniture and great views. The owner provides excellent and prompt communication and she genuinely carres about the quality of your stay. CONS: The air conditioning is simply not adequate for the unit. The condo is warmer than the outside temps. The lowest we could get the unit on a hot July day was 81 degrees in the main area and 83 degrees in the bedrooms. NOTE: The owner apologized for the AC and stated that she is trying to get central AC in the unit. In the meantime, however, there needs to be more portable floor units - one for each bedroom.
My family and I travel to Marthaâs Vineyard every summer, my husband and I were married at the Winnetu near South Beach. After many hotel, condo and house rentals year after year, by far this was the most convenient, most comfortable and most scenic stay weâve ever had. This condo is perfect for a family or group of four. Spacious, clean, cool AC and comfortable beds and couch! The kitchen is well equipped and the washer/dryer were ideal! The views, balconies, in-town location and picturesque view of Ocean Park is more than worth the booking! The first morning, we awoke to the most stunning sunrise youâve ever seen! Thank you so much for an incredible stay, we look forward to many more bookings with you!!
Everything about the property was great. Check in process, communication, and location is perfect.. The only criticism I have is the AC is insufficient for the unit.
Hands down, the best experience we have had in Marthaâs Vineyard in almost 20 years of being summer renters-from the amazing location to the beautiful apartment with every amenity imaginable to the responsive hosts. We would love the opportunity to repeat this experience!
The location and view could not be better for Oak Bluffs.The master bed was exceptionally comfortable.The hosts were easily accessible.We would stay here again.
What a lovely gem of a place this unit was. From the moment you entered and to your right was the most picturesque view of the sea. The unit was light and not too much furniture. A lamp/reading light would be sufficient for evening reading. Although the King bed was spacious we found it on the squishy side. Perhaps a firmer mattress might suffice. The kitchen was a joy to cook in. Everything was there we needed for some delicious meals. Would definitely consider returning back to this unit.
Gem of the Ocean was a perfect place to enjoy our anniversary. Walkable to most everything, great luxurious towels,
along with amazingly comfortable pillows and bed made this a wonderful getaway! Our host responded almost immediately to the few questions that came up. Would definitely recommend!
Our one week stay at Laura's property was absolutely perfect! As the listing states, we didn't need a car to get to anything on Oak Bluffs and the property itself was exactly what we needed. We will definitely consider booking this property again next year when we return to Martha's Vineyard!
