I know that neighborhood. Very charming!

Oak Bluffs is as cute as can be, and has a wonderful history. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a6668/oak-bluffs-african-american-community/

Oh, that’s adorable (once i take down the lobster cage from the ceiling).

Wonderful cottage. I really want to live in a cottage, but one with a few modern amenities like a garage and closets.

Illumination Night each august in rhis cottage community is a magical thing..Illumination night. first you gather in the Tabernacle to sing classic old songs including patriotic ones. then all the lights go out and all at once thousands of paper lanterns hung on each of the surrounding gingerbread cottages light up at once. then everyone does the stroll to admire each house and its decor. charming good luck remembering where you parked your car and fiding among the little lanes that make up downtown oak bluffs.

What a fascinating history!!

What a sweet little cottage!

I adore the way it's all dressed up for the 4th. So very festive.

Are these cottages/homes occupied during the winter months?

I ask, because I'm confused about the ceilings-- is that all there is between it and the roof?

No insulation?

Those are people's homes, so why are tourists allowed to walk around and take pictures?

Not sure what you mean? People can take pictures of anything if it is visible from public property?

I'm not sure, but I think that is not a year-round house? The BR walls don't seem to be insulated. I love that look, even wanted my contractor to do that, over insulation!

The neighborhood seems to be a tourist attraction, and I can see why, but if I lived there full time, I wouldn't like strangers walking around. I'd make it a gated community. :)

The upholstered furniture is what I love and the two pouf ottomans. I'd love to know who decorated the house.

I had this exact table and painted it blue, and decided I no longer wanted a round table. Wish I had it back to I could paint it creamy yellow.

Pretty sweet! Love the windows!

Every year a celebration of Illumination Nighr in Oak Bluffs where the victorian cottages hang lighted Japanese lanterns from their porches, its a beautiful tradition thats been going on since the 1800’s . Martha’s Vineyard is beautful and this neighborhood is actually qiute divferent than other parts of the Island

Thanks Cran!

Fascinating history! $600k seems to be a steal, but it doesn't seem to be habitable in winter and doesn't appear to have an indoor shower. Very sweet little place, though.

This area of Oak Bluffs was originally a religious retreat campground community. it truly is a community. im sure many houses have been in the same family for generations. privacy is not one of the amenities. im sure neighbors overhear a lot. just slightly more insulation and privacy than a tent.

It’s a darling place, for one person to live in.

Lisa, here's a great article that explained it to me. The cottages are still part of the campground. It's a shame that they're boarded up in winter. Now I need to dig further to see just who owns the cottages and if they live there.

Scroll down, and you get to see the other cottages.

Very sweet cottage, so cute. The adorable green refrigerator reminds me of our ”garage” fridge fron my youth/teen years, it was yellow with a pink interior.

So and love the Big Chill of course! Yeah, that’s an outdoor shower, so definitely seasonal.

Edit: super interesting history

Adorable, and I could move right in for the summer. I as in me, just me. Thanks for the interesting history of this community, Oskley.

I will take 47 Trinity Park, thank you very much. And now I need to toss all the furniture and decor in my own beach cottage and start over.

We have a similar community here in Petosky Michigan. You have the be a member to buy a house and you have to be a member of the church. It's rather controversial. The homes are often handed down through the generations but people don't always marry into the faith or stay in the same faith. https://www.bayviewassociation.org/

I would really love an old cottage like that. Here in MI they tear them down to build big McMansion permanent homes. One right on top of the other. They sell them for big bucks but it is just for the lot. Sad to me, a lover of history.
