Nice location and nice home overall but the back deck needs some work. Itâs not very inviting as the furniture is not in great condition and the deck needs a fresh coat of paint. Having no AC was not that bad even for July but it would help if all fans worked well. Luckily we brought our own portable fans. Loved the outdoor shower! The beds were just ok but I slept fine because we were so tired from being out all day. All in all a good place to hang your hat while enjoying MV.
House is a good location in Vineyard Haven. About a 15 to 20 minute walk into town, shopping/coffee places available. Quiet street. the only issue we had was trying to communicate with the owner as we had a few questions prior to and receive minimal response from in the end it was OK but would've been nice to have. The questions answered. It is not listed however there are linens included, and there are four beach chairs available for use.
Overall a nice place to stay. Mud Puddle Road is a little sketchy, but inside was nice, cozy, and very clean. Outside could use some TLC. The listing didnât include providing bed sheets. I messaged twice and called once to confirm but never got a response. We brought some to be safe but they were provided. Should be included in listing as some other properties in the area specify bed. linens not provided. Weâd stay there again without hesitation. Thanks for sharing your property. We had a great visit.

Had a wonderful trip to MV. The house was perfect for our group. Spacious! And had 3 bathrooms. We had everything we needed.thank you for a fantastic home base for our trip. Loved the outdoor shower and borrowed the beach chairs one day.
An economical and convenient place to stay on island - close to Vineyard Haven and 20 min walk to downtown/ferry. Clean home with everything in working order. Limited beach supplies, but able to get by. Enjoyed the stay and as I have family on the island itâs an easy spot to rest and regroup. Thanks for a good stay.
The house is in a great location! While dated, it was still spacious and comfortable. We had all the essentials. While we were only two people, the house could easily accommodate 4-6. Bud was easily reachable and we felt right at home here. I strongly recommend!
Stayed here over a long weekend with my husband and our daughter as well as my sister, mother and another friend. We really enjoyed it! The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and we made us of the grill out back one night.
It was close enough to the town that we could walk, but also well located to pick up a friend at the airport and it was an easy drive to Oak Bluff and nice beaches. The bike path was also very close by!
It was quiet and convenient and we all said we would stay again another summer! Highly recommend!
Lovely property, quiet location and yet very convenient to town and the ferry. Well stocked home and the owner is extremely responsive, quick to answer questions. We had a delightful stay!
My family stayed for four days to attend a wedding in Early September 2023. The house was nicely decorated, maintained and furnished. It was ample in size for the 6 of us and we had a great stay.
We have been blessed with several years at this house on Mud Puddle. We love this home with itsâ perfect location and everything that our family could need during our stay. Looking forward to many more years here!
The house was clean and well equipped. The amenities listed could be more specific. I brought several things that I didn't need to bring. Sheets, hairdryer etc. The road took some getting used to. The house is close to the main road so don't go too far. It is not hard to see the number on the fence. No where to turn around if you go too far. My main complaint was the refrigerator and some windows don't open. Overall a good experience.
We had a wonderful time at this property. The location was a short ride to the beaches but nicely tucked away for privacy. Our kids really enjoyed playing in the yard and the home itself was perfect for our needs. Will stay again!
House has everything you need but is a bit outdated and a far walk uphill from the ferry and Main St. That said, it would be difficult to find a bargain like this on the Vineyard. Definitely need a car. Bring your own soap and shampoo.
The home has 2.5 baths, which was convenient for 4 adult women! The home was clean and stocked with all necessities. We had no concerns and didnât have to reach out to anyone. Will stay here again in the future.
We stayed for three days at this cottage in mid June. The layout of the house is very open, so air circulates well. It is nicely decorated and the furniture and beds are comfortable. The location is great!!
Cottage on Mud Puddle Rd is a lovely, peaceful visit. Accommodations clean, bright, and comfortable. The 5 hen girls will welcome you and provide entertainment for treats. Many amenities, kitchen complete , washer/dryer, grill, all comforts of home.. we will be back, please!
I had a milestone birthday getaway with four other ladies here at the cottage we affectionately called Mud Puddle. For three of us, it was our first time visiting Martha's Vineyard. We had a *wonderful* time. The cottage had plenty of space for the five of us. I brought two folding chairs so we could all sit at the dining room table together with a guest. The beach/nautical decor was very tasteful, with the blue paint and the polished oars as wall hangings and as the stair railing fondly noted. When it got hot, we were able to use the fans available in many of the rooms. The cottage also had plenty of windows for light and cross-breeze. The kitchen was a popular place. We cooked three full meals using the utensils, dishes, and even a few spices we found. The coffeepot did not work for us, so we boiled water in a pot for tea every day and were just fine. We left some vinegar and seasonings behind for the next guests so they could make a salad dressing like we did! One of my cousins walked into town to pick up some food and enjoyed her journey. It was less than a mile one way. Our neighbors were great, one child even coming to our rescue by getting his chickens out of the road so we could pass by. My only minor disappointment was the lack of curb appeal. When we pulled up and saw the tall grass and weeds, we were concerned about what might be lurking in them. So once my friends saw some wild turkeys in the back and a skunk crawl under the deck, it was difficult to get anyone outside to enjoy the backyard. I know the owner said he'd been on vacation for a few weeks, so that would explain it. But again, once we were inside, the cottage was immaculate and just what we needed for our restful getaway. Two of us used the outside shower, which was an amazing experience! All in all I highly recommend this property on Mud Puddle for fond memories. I want to thank the owner for remaining in touch with me from when I originally reserved this for 2020 and postponed my visit due to the pandemic. This was worth the wait.
Cottage was really cute inside, clean, and in a great location. A few small appliances were low end/ could use replacing, but overall we really enjoyed our stay!
This was a great home to stay. Though it may not be on the beach, the beaches were not far. Easily accessible, great location and peace and tranquility felt both inside and outside of the home. Thank you so much!!!
