The “Sea Shrimp” is an iconic Oak Bluffs cottage that has been owned by the same family since 1968. Like many of the homes within the MV Camp Meeting Association community, it has evolved from a simple tent for summer gathering in 1870 to the welcoming wood structure it is today.
Illumination Night–an annual festival of light.
Available for use year-round, this charming home is set on an oversized lot and comes with a beautiful front yard. A large covered porch serves as the gathering spot for ‘porch living’ for which Oak Bluffs is famous. Send me more about this Oak Bluffs cottage!
Close to Shops & Ferry
The home is convenient to the ferry, OB harbor & downtown.
A further benefit is its in-town location so that all of what Oak Bluffs has to offer are just steps away. Oak Bluffs Harbor, Circuit Ave shops and restaurants, movie theater, public beaches and more–it’s all at your fingertips.
Best of all, you can leave your car on the mainland in Woods Hole and walk onto the ferry to Oak Bluffs and land on the Vineyard only five minutes from home. Send me more about this Oak Bluffs cottage!
Year-Round Living
A comfortable living room w/ beadboard ceiling.
It’s not unusual to find homes within the Camp Meeting Association unheated and limited to 3-season use. However, this home is fully heated with forced hot air (FHA). Furthermore, it was renovated in 2020, so it’s move-in ready.
The first floor features a convenient, owner’s en-suite bedroom and a guest bedroom. There is a modest deck in the back with an attached shed that includes an outside shower and lots of room for storage.
The second floor has two more spacious bedrooms as well as a full bath. Each bedroom has access to the second-floor front balcony where you will get your best glimpse of the Oak Bluffs Harbor. Send me more about this Oak Bluffs cottage!

A Rich History
The foundation of Oak Bluffs is the Methodist Campground. Located in the center of town, it is where people flocked for festivities and eventually started to settle in tents during the religious revival of the 1800s.
As the congregation grew, the tents transitioned to gingerbread cottages, each more colorful and charming than the last.
Today, you can stroll through the delightful cottages, clustered around a large, open-air Tabernacle, where there are events and live music throughout the summer. Send me more about 7 Central Avenue Oak Bluffs!
