We’ve entrusted MV Vacation Rentals for the last five years to secure a home for our week long family vacations. They are very helpful in choosing the right home and it’s a super easy pick up/drop off process once on the island. They are also readily available should you have a question. The homes they’ve helped us to rent are always in great condition and well stocked with essentials. Highly recommend!

Our rental property was very clean, well maintained and nicely furnished. The screened porch was a perfect addition, where we spent bug-free evenings enjoying the summer weather. The grill was very new, clean and had plenty of propane for our use. The property location was just a 10 minute walk to downtown Oak Bluffs, which saved us from searching for a parking space. We did have an issue with the smoke alarm going off at 2:30 in the morning. When we reported it, the caretaker (also an Oak Bluffs firefighter) was at the house by 5 pm the next day to check the system and assure us all was fine, which it was for the remainder of our stay. The only drawback to the property for anyone with children, is that there is only yard space in front of the house, but it is fairly spacious. All things considered, I would rent the property again.

Distance to center of town was a nice 10 minute walk. Parking was provided. Washer and Dryer and Apple TV was provided.Now the many negatives: Infestation of ants reported but not corrected. Kitchen plumbing problem as the waste pipe is too short creating water on kitchen floor and inside cabinet reported but not corrected. No anti slip mat or a handle in shower, reported but not corrected. No dust pan for broom, reported and corrected. Two of the three bedrooms did not have air conditioning units as advertised, reported and corrected. No portable fans as advertised. Small towel rack in bathroom was broken and unusable was reported and corrected. The air filters in the AC in the living room and upstairs bedroom were caked with a large amount of debris. I cleaned them myself and it was reported to the head of housekeeping. The house had only two trash cans. One in the kitchen with no bags available and a smaller can in the bathroom with bags available for that. Not one bedroom had a small trash can available. Refrigerator's ice maker and drinking water do not work. If you are going to wash your beach towels the dryer will take roughly 1 and a half to 2 hours to dry. Dryer's lint filter was caked with an enormous amount of lint (fire hazard). Should have been cleaned before renter's arrival as should have the 2 AC units filters. Last but not least on our first night there at about 11PM when we were in bed I got up to use the bathroom and as soon as I turned the corner I tripped on the marble piece on the floor in front of the fireplace. This piece sits about 1/2 to 3/4 inch above floor. I had a violent fall injuring my left shoulder, right leg and I smacked by head against the stone fireplace resulting in my wife rushing me to the emergency room. See photos. Reported of course but this lack of safety feature was not corrected.

Absolutely excellent company to work with as a vacation renter. They make it easy to visit the Vineyard! The staff has always been available when we need it, and they are super responsive to email communication before and after booking. We have used them twice and plan to for years to come.Updated to add, still amazing. Rented 4 times now, most recently here in 2023.

We worked with Keri at MVVR and she truly made the experience seamless from beginning to end. We were able to rent a beautiful home that was perfect for our family- modern, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Keri was kind, professional and took care of all our needs during our visit. We will outreach her again when we return to the island.

Karen and her team and MV Vacation Rentals were wonderful. The home we rented was even more that we could hope for. Our stay was magical. It was stocked with anything we needed, and felt extremely homey and comfortable. The views of the ocean made us feel like we were on a boat at sea. A great getaway. Would definitely book again. Just the peace and quiet my family needed.

The home was comfortable and well appointed. A close walk to town and easily accessible. The large back yard was great for relaxing and socializing. The fact that linen and towels were provided was an unexpected surprise.

Very nice, cozy cottage right on one of the main streets, making it accessible to many areas on the MV. The owners provided a lovely welcome package - which is truly unique. Loved waking up and having coffee on the sun-filled deck and dining in the moonlight. The outdoor shower is magnificent..The home could have been cleaner, we arrived late in the evening to find dirty towels on top of the bed and no beds had linen on them. Perhaps the cleaning crews are swamped with all of the summer traffic.

Don't rent with Mart Vineyard Rentals and Real Estate!! I rented what was supposed to be a luxury 5 bedroom home. It had several problems. The first night of a 7 night stay, my daughter broke out in hives after sleeping in one of the bedrooms. We disinfected the room, sanitized the sheets and after the second night, we had to take her to urgent care the next morning. Needless to say, that room was off limits. On the third day raw sewage backed up into the only bathroom on the ground floor. The toilet and shower was overflowing with untreated feces and urine. When the septic repair person came, he indicated that the tank was not properly maintained and had not been serviced in more than 3 years! When we arrived, on day one, we contacted Lisa Silvia, our rental agent, to tell her the refrigerator ice maker and water dispenser was not working. Lisa's response to us was "the ice maker and water dispenser were not guaranteed to be operational" (excuse me- for over $20k per week, we expected a fully functional refrigerator for our luxury rental). The cabinets were full of the homeowners glasses and dish ware. The panty was locked. We had no place to store our week's worth of groceries. Someone had to be sent over to clear two shelves for our grocery storage... we had to move the grocery from the countertop to the dinning room table and back before and after cooking each meal. The gas grill didn't have propane...we had to get it filled and replace it. Please keep in mind this was listed as a luxury rental. During the sewer backup, we had to cancel our plans for the day and stay at the home to wait for the repair people to come. We wasted another day for a cleaning staff to come to clean and sanitize the only downstairs bathroom. My 90 year old father had to navigate the stairs to use the bathroom for two days!! Electric circuits were not working in one room. Sliding doors and blinds were not functional on the main floor. The garbage had been piled up for weeks in the outside storage bins... we couldn't fit our garbage in on the first night!! And the front door never locked!! It was a disaster!! The rental office was non-responsive. We actually managed the property during our vacation. We told Lisa we expected a refund of some sort. It has been a month and a half and we have not received our deposit and we're told we would not receive a refund. We may have to take legal action. Do not use MV Vacation rentals & Real Estate!! They are the worst!! If I were able to give negative stars, I would.

This was our first time coming to Martha's Vineyard and using Martha's Vineyard Vacation Rentals certainly made it easy. The booking process a seamless process along with picking up the keys. Our house was beautiful and the perfect size for our family.

Lisa Silva is an outstanding real estate agent. I have been working with her for many summers--renting on Marthas Vineyard
