Driving Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard September 2018
Oak Bluffs is a town located on the island of Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 3,713 at the 2000 census and was estimated at 3,735 as of 2008. It is one of the island's principal points of arrival for summer tourists, and is noted for its gingerbread cottages and other well-preserved late-nineteenth-century buildings.
History:
Oak Bluffs was first settled by Europeans in 1642 and was part of Edgartown until 1880, when it was officially incorporated as Cottage City. The town re-incorporated in 1907 as Oak Bluffs, named because the town was the site of an oak grove along the bluffs overlooking Nantucket Sound. Oak Bluffs was the only one of the six towns on the island to be consciously planned, and the only one developed specifically with tourism in mind.
In 1866 Robert Morris Copeland was hired by a group of New England developers to design a planned residential community in Martha's Vineyard. The site, a large, rolling, treeless pasture overlooking Vineyard Sound, was adjacent to the immensely popular Methodist camp meeting, Wesleyan Grove, a curving network of narrow streets lined with quaint Carpenter's Gothic cottages, picket fences, and pocket parks. Seeking to take advantage of the camp's seasonal popularity (and overflowing population), the developers established Oak Bluffs Land and Wharf Company, gaining immediate success: Five hundred lots were sold between 1868 and 1871. Copeland would end up creating three plans for the community to accommodate its constant expansion. Oak Bluffs is the one of the earliest planned residential communities and largely informed later suburban development in the United States.
Some of the earliest visitors to the area that became Cottage City and later Oak Bluffs were Methodists, who gathered in the oak grove each summer for multi-day religious camp meetings held under large tents and in the open air. As families returned to the grove year after year, tents pitched on the ground gave way to tents pitched on wooden platforms and eventually to small wooden cottages. Small in scale and closely packed, the cottages grew more elaborate over time. Porches, balconies, elaborate door and window frames became common, as did complex wooden scrollwork affixed to the roof edges as decorative trim. The unique Carpenter's Gothic architectural style of the cottages was often accented by the owner's use of bright, multi-hue paint schemes, and gave the summer cottages a quaint, almost storybook look. Dubbed gingerbread cottages, they became a tourist attraction in their own right in the late nineteenth century. So, too, did the Tabernacle: a circular, open-sided pavilion covered by a metal roof supported by tall wrought iron columns, erected in the late 1880s, which became a venue for services and community events. The campground's gingerbread cottages are cherished historic landmarks as well as very expensive real estate. Many are still family owned and passed on generation to generation. On April 5, 2005, the grounds and buildings in the Campground were designated a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior.
Nineteenth-century tourists, arriving by steamer from the mainland, could also choose from a wide range of secular attractions: shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, dance halls, band concerts, walks along seaside promenades, or swims in the waters of Nantucket Sound. Resort hotels, of which the Wesley House is the sole surviving example, lined the waterfront and the bluffs. For a time, a narrow-gauge railway carried curious travelers from the steamship wharf in Oak Bluffs to Edgartown, running along tracks laid on what is now Joseph Sylvia State Beach. In 1884, the Flying Horses Carousel was brought to Oak Bluffs from Coney Island and installed a few blocks inland from the ocean, where it remains in operation today. Built in 1876, it is the oldest platform carousel still in operation. Like the grounds and buildings of the Campground (so designated in April 2005), the Flying Horses were designated a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior.
In 1873 the neighboring community of Harthaven was established by William H. Hart when he purchased a lot from the Oak Bluffs Land and Wharf Company. The community later moved in 1911 to its present location between Oak Bluffs town and Edgartown.

Tour Martha's Vineyard Edgartown, Massachusetts
Driving Edgartown Main Street, Martha's Vineyard
September 2018
Edgartown is a town located on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 4,067 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Dukes County. Edgartown has the largest area in the entirety of Dukes County and Martha's Vineyard.
History:
In 1642, Rev. Thomas Mayhew, Jr. led a group of families to start a colony on the island after its purchase by his father Thomas Mayhew. Originally called Great Harbor, it was incorporated in 1671, and is one of the two original towns on Martha's Vineyard, along with Tisbury. The town's current name is in honor of Edgar, the young son of James II of England who died at the age of three in 1671.
The younger Mayhew began his work which led to his becoming the first church planting Protestant missionary after he settled in Edgartown. A Wampanoag Indian named Hiacoomes who lived nearby became his partner in founding the churches in the Indian communities.
Edgartown is well known as having been one of the primary ports for the whaling industry during the 1800s. Ships from all over the world would dock in its sheltered bay and captains would build grand mansions for their families with ornate top floor rooms called widow's walks, which overlooked the harbor. A myth developed that wives would watch for months from these tiny rooms, hoping to see the sails of ships that would bring their husbands home from the sea. There is little or no evidence that widow's walks were intended or regularly used for this purpose. They were frequently built around the chimney of the residence, thus creating an easy access route to the structure, allowing the residents of the home to pour sand down burning chimneys in the event of a chimney fire in the hopes of preventing the house from burning down.
As more economical alternatives became available the whaling industry began to decline. By the beginning of the 20th century, its influence on the tiny town which had made its fortunes through the industry, was ended. Today the town is more known for tourism, as well as the site of Chappaquiddick, where Ted Kennedy's infamous incident took place in 1969.
Tourism:
Edgartown was an old whaling port and is now a summer and tourist destination with a multitude of houses built by whaling captains and other prominent people of prior centuries. The growth of the population over the past 25 years has led to a period of intense renewal of these old houses. Water Street along the harbor is the location of many of these Captain's Homes which line both sides of the street. The town has also encouraged renovation of historical structures. As part of this effort, the Whaling Church, a large 18th century church, has been converted to a performing arts center and the adjacent Daniel Fisher House is now used for a variety of social functions. In addition to the architecture of the town, Edgartown is easily traversed on foot or bicycle, making it attractive to tourists.
Edgartown was used as the main shooting location for the town of Amity in Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster Jaws. Many landmarks and buildings in Edgartown that were filmed in the movie can still be seen today.
The Edgartown Light at the end of north Water Street defines the entrance to the Harbor. The harbor is large and entered through a modest sized channel on the North side of Edgartown. It opens into Katama Bay, created by a barrier beach that sometimes connects the south end of Chappaquiddick to the remainder of Edgartown, The barrier beach opened during a spring storm in 2007. This has led to a 3 knot current through Katama Bay and Edgartown Harbor. This protected body of water provides ample mooring for small and large boats. The opening of the harbor will accommodate large sailing and motorized boats, but will not accommodate large ships or yachts which may anchor outside the harbor.
Another feature is South Beach, a small part of the ocean beach that runs the entire southern length of the island from Edgartown to Aquinnah. It can be reached by driving or riding the bus south from Edgartown center for approximately 2.5 miles. South Beach is a crashing ocean beach. It is a major destination for tourists. Much of the beach in Edgartown is open to the public with ample parking available.

Video of 109 William Street | Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts (Martha's Vineyard)
- Premier Location, Historic District, Custom Renovation, Professionally Landscaped. If this is an adequate description, no need to continue. Historic William Street, tucked quietly behind the activity of Main Street and the Harbor, is an enclave of grand, elegant homes that create a neighborhood filled with architectural splendor. The restoration of this neighborhood is an on-going activity and this property is a perfect example of the commitment of residents to retain the charm and grandeur. The original portion was built in l850. The new wing and addition were part of the recent restoration. There are choices on William Street of homes that are large and grand with expansive yards, homes that are small and charming, homes that will require total restoration and then there is a property like 109 William Street that will satisfy that center road and ready to move in; the work has been done. The primary room in the house, the living room with fireplace remains it's grand size. A lovely screened porch was converted to a year round sun room and is exactly that, a sun room in the winter months and a garden room in the summer. The balance of the house was adjusted and arranged to provide more contemporary use. The large addition provided room for en suite bedrooms, office and laundry rooms.

Martha's Vineyard Ferry & Island Tour Highlights (4K)
See what it was like to take a Martha's Vineyard Ferry landing in Oak Bluffs via the Steamship Authority from Woods Hole, Massachusetts. There are food and drinks available to purchase on board, and there is free Wi-Fi for the duration of the 45 minute ferry ride.
We also took a sightseeing tour of Martha's Vineyard the departed from Oak Bluffs. We went past Villa Rosa, then saw people jumping off the famous Jaws Bridge near the Joseph Sylvia State Beach. In Edgartown we passed the unusual Dukes County Jail, the Old Whaling Church and the Morning Glory Farm. We then went through downtown Chilmark before reaching Aquinnah. There we saw the beautiful Gay Head Cliffs & Lighthouse where we were able to spend 20 minutes on our own exploring the area. After going past Vineyard Haven, we returned to Oak Bluffs.
Back in town, we tried out Lobster Ice Cream, visited some of the famous Gingerbread Houses/Cottages, before checking out Ocean Park & Inkwell Beach. We then enjoyed a beautiful sunset before catching our return ferry back to Woods Hole.
This was from our visit of the scenic island and the Cape Code area in Summer 2019. This was a thoroughly enjoyable day- and we got to see why Martha's Vineyard was so appealing to so many vacationers, including former presidents Bill Clinton & Barack Obama!

- Tucked between the calm waters of the bay and the Atlantic Ocean, under the guard of the Cape Poge Lighthouse, rests a retreat like no other. Lovingly restored and meticulously maintained, the three bedroom main house and one bedroom boathouse offer all the amenities one would expect, but not necessarily anticipate, from off the grid living. The ideal lifestyle choice for water sport and outdoor enthusiasts alike; with boating, kayaking, kite surfing, and shell-fishing at your doorstep, or for those seeking refuge and relaxation from the bustle of everyday life.

Video of 239 East Chop Dr | Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts real estate & homes
- This house was built during the height of the original development of East Chop (originally a barren expanse of land called the Vineyard Highlands). Period photographs show that it
was one of the grandest on the bluff with all the architectural details that capture the elegance and charm of by-gone years. The property is currently held by the third generation of the same family that has held continuous ownership since the late 1930's when it was
purchased from the original owner.
This classic 1800's shingle style offers quite incredible, postcard, panoramic views over Nantucket Sound to Cape Cod. It is located on a high point of East Chop, near the Lighthouse and offers over 175' of waterfront.
Talke a walk down the stone steps down the bluff to the water with a potential for future swimming dock.
There has been no corruption of the authentic interior detail including original oak paneling, staircases, fireplaces.....nearly 4,000sf on 3 full levels with multiple living spaces, high ceilings, and large windows to the views.
This is an historic masterpiece. This enduring summer community, first settled in the 1860's and fully
flourishing in the early 1900's including a private beach club, tennis club and even a golf
course. The golf course gave way to housing in the 1920's but the other two facilities survive and thrive to present day.
Come live the good life on Martha's Vineyard - they way summers SHOULD be.

Driving Vineyard Haven, Martha's Vineyard
September 2018
Vineyard Haven is a community within the town of Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. It is listed as a census-designated place (CDP) by the U.S. Census Bureau, with a population of 2,048 as of the 2000 census.
Known by the original Wampanoag inhabitants as Nobnocket, this area was first referred to by the colonial settlers as Homes Hole; Homes from a Wampanoag term for old man, and Hole meaning a sheltered inlet. By the 19th century it was more commonly spelled Holmes Hole after the descendants of John Holmes (1730--1812) who had settled in the village during the second half of the 18th century. In 1871 the village officially changed its name to Vineyard Haven. Though the name Vineyard Haven technically refers only to one section of the town of Tisbury, the names are used interchangeably, with Vineyard Haven now being a commonly used title for the whole town.
Vineyard Haven is the main port of entry to Martha's Vineyard, and one of the three main population centers (with Edgartown and Oak Bluffs). The Steamship Authority wharf is located in Vineyard Haven, at which ferries arrive and depart year-round. (A second, seasonal wharf is located in neighboring Oak Bluffs.) Although the year-round population is only about 2,000 people, its population increases tremendously in the summer, as many houses on the Vineyard are owned by summer residents.
Geography:
Vineyard Haven is located at
41°27′22″N 70°36′26″W.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 4.1 km² (1.6 mi²). 3.2 km² (1.2 mi²) of it is land and 0.9 km² (0.3 mi²) of it (20.89%) is water.
Demographics:
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,048 people, 941 households, and 479 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 632.6/km² (1,635.9/mi²). There were 1,420 housing units at an average density of 438.6/km² (1,134.3/mi²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 88.92% White, 3.22% African American, 1.86% Native American, 0.20% Asian, 0.10% Pacific Islander, 1.71% from other races, and 4.00% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.63% of the population.
There were 941 households out of which 23.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 37.2% were married couples living together, 10.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 49.0% were non-families. 39.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 14.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.17 and the average family size was 2.93.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 20.6% under the age of 18, 6.3% from 18 to 24, 30.8% from 25 to 44, 25.7% from 45 to 64, and 16.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 41 years. For every 100 females there were 92.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 86.9 males.
The median income for a household in the CDP was $37,318, and the median income for a family was $44,844. Males had a median income of $35,824 versus $28,750 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $26,225. About 6.5% of families and 11.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 29.2% of those under age 18 and 10.3% of those age 65 or over.
Transportation:
Air Service is provided from Martha's Vineyard Airport.
The most reliable source of public transportation from Vineyard Haven to the rest of the island is the Martha's Vineyard Regional Transit Authority (VTA). Almost all of the buses stop at the Vineyard Haven Steamship Authority bus terminal and it is the most used in the summer time and year round. The VTA is the only Island-wide public transportation system on Martha's Vineyard, which makes it the best choice for traveling around the Vineyard for tourists who do not have cars and do not want to pay for a taxi.

Driving Into Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard From Beach Road & Edgartown Day Time In Tahoe
Martha's Vineyard (Wampanoag: Noepe, /mɑːr.ðəz.viːnjʊd/, often called just the Vineyard) is an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts that is known for being an affluent summer colony. It includes the smaller Chappaquiddick Island which is usually connected to the Vineyard, though storms and hurricanes have been known to separate the two. The last such separation of the islands was in 2007 and the two islands are again connected as of April 2, 2015.
It is the 58th largest island in the United States, with a land area of 100 square miles (260 km2), and the third largest on the East Coast of the United States, after Long Island and Mount Desert Island. The island constitutes the bulk of Dukes County, Massachusetts, which also includes the Elizabeth Islands and the island of Nomans Land.
The Vineyard was home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language developed on the island called Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL).
The 2010 census reported a year-round population of 16,535 residents, although the summer population can swell to more than 100,000 people. About 56% of the Vineyard's 14,621 homes are seasonally occupied.
Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and it is only accessible by boat and air. However, its year-round population has considerably increased since the 1960s. The island's year-round population increased about a third each decade from 1970 to 2000, for a total of 145% or about 3 to 4% per year (46%, 30%, and 29% in each respective decade). The population of the Vineyard was 14,901 in the 2000 Census and was estimated at 15,582 in 2004. (Dukes County was 14,987 in 2000 and 15,669 in 2004). Dukes County includes the six towns on Martha's Vineyard and Gosnold; it increased by more than 10 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to Census data released in 2011, gaining nearly 1,548 residents. The Island's population increased from 14,987 to 16,535.
A study by the Martha's Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60% higher than the national average, and housing prices are 96% higher.[7] A study of housing needs by the Commission found that the average weekly wage on Martha's Vineyard was 71% of the state average, the median home price was 54% above the state's and the median rent exceeded the state's by 17%.

- A true waterfront vacation home that caters to all generations. Sitting high on a hill with expansive waterviews, the property was designed over the years to accommodate everyone. The casual house is centered around a living room with a fireplace and levels of glass windows which place you within full view of the water. There is an efficient, open kitchen, three bedrooms and two baths along with a loft area for contemplative writing if so inspired. A large pantry holds a surprise; an extra space for an unexpected guest. Creatively landscaped by one of the family members, a screened gazebo sits closer to the water designed to serve as a summer dining room with water and good storage....A trip to the outdoor shower is a treat via an interesting walkway.....There are a number of sheds for everything including one with electricity for the extra refrigerator or freezer. Does this sound perfect? Well it is. Minutes walk to Vineyard Bus stop. Lovely waterview walk along Lagoon Pond down the Ramble and Weaver Lane to downtown Vineyard Haven.

- AFTER COMING OFF THE BOAT AND SURVIVING THE FIVE CORNERS, YOU CAN TAKE A RELAXED WALK OR DRIVE PAST THE MARINA AND THE MARSHES TO YOUR WATERFRONT COTTAGE. SO CLOSE TO EVERYTHING AND YET SO FAR FROM THE BUSTLE AND NOISE OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE VINEYARD.
MOST BUYERS DREAM OF A WATERFRONT COTTAGE ON THE VINEYARD BUT ARE RESTRICTED BY THE COST. THIS PROPERTY MAKES IT ALL POSSIBLE! THE 1,194 SF LIVES LARGER THAN EXPECTED BECAUSE OF THE WINDOWS ON THE WATER SIDE THAT OPEN UP YOUR VISION AND FEELING OF SPACIOUSNESS.
A GARAGE IS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE TO HOUSE YOUR ISLAND CAR. THE EFFICIENT KITCHEN HAS GREAT WINDOWS TO KEEP YOU CONSTANTLY ENGAGED WITH THE VIEW. A ROOM TO THE RIGHT OF THE KITCHEN CAN BE USED AS A DINING ROOM, FAMILY ROOM OR BEDROOM. THE IMPORTANT FACTOR IS THAT IT IS THERE FOR YOUR INTERPRETATION.
THE OPEN SPACE TO THE LEFT OF THE KITCHEN IS SURPRISINGLY LARGE WITH WATERVIEWS IN EVERY DIRECTION.
A BATH AND TWO SMALLER BEDROOMS ARE AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
A FULL BASEMENT WITH WINDOWS PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR EXPANSION OR EXCELLENT STORAGE.
THERE IS A THREE BEDROOM SEPTIC SYSTEM IN PLACE. ACCORDING TO ZONING REGULATIONS IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO EXPAND THE BUILDING BY AN ADDITIONAL 500 FEET. AN ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER HAVE BEEN TO THE PROPERTY TO PROVIDE DIALOG AND AN INTERPRETATION OF POTENTIAL EXPANSION. THOUGH DATED, IT IS CHARMING AND IN GREAT CONDITION.
ESTABLISHED GARDENS AND STONE WALLS PROVIDE A HISTORIC FLAVOR TO THE PROPERTY THAT HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORY. AND THEN THERE IS THE BEACH, ALL 100' OF PRIVATE BEACH.
DOESN'T IT SOUND LIKE YOUR DREAM COTTAGE ON THE VINEYARD?
