Victorian Gingerbread Boston, Massachusetts

Holiday Rental Description

Built in 1871, this picture-perfect cottage has been beautifully renovated while retaining the most important elements of its original design. We're talking wood panelling, timber beams, and arched windows and doors. It's a prime example of the aesthetic that characterises this historic neighbourhood just outside Oaks Bluff. Inside, it's a charming space, with light flooding in through the numerous windows. Wood floors and neutral tones give it a hint of seaside chic, while antique furniture, vintage pieces and decorative knick-knacks make for a stylish, curated feel. There’s a private backyard for eating outdoors on warm summer days, and a fire pit to sit around in the cooler evening air. You'll be staying just a short stroll from the harbour, and the many excellent restaurants and bars of Circuit Avenue are just a few minutes' walk away.

Home truths:
*If you're bringing a car, a parking spot is available (the home is close to the ferry terminal)
*As it's part of the Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, guests must register at the MVCMA office upon arrival or not later than the next regular business day
*The master bedroom is on the ground floor
*The twin bedroom acts as a corridor to another bedroom, so would be best suited to children
