Having spent time in all of the towns on Martha's Vineyard, Oak Bluffs interested us with all of its ammenities. The street was queit and peaceful, yet it is only a 5-7 minute drive to town where there are all kinds of great restaurants, interesting galleries, The Gingerbread Houses, The Tabernacle, Owen Park, O.B. Harbor, and the Carousel to only name a few of attractions. It is also convenient to Vineyard Haven Town, and it is easy drive to get to Edgartown. The balance of the house being quiet yet conenient was an important decision when we purchased the house. We love the beaches and wanted to be a short drive to the beaches as well.
