Oak Bluffs Family Retreat - Private Roundabout, Walk to the Beach & Downtown OB.

Renovated in 2022, The Panola House is tucked away on a private expansive lot with its own roundabout driveway. The property offers a chance to enjoy your time in the Vineyard with family and friends in a private setting, and a short walk away from the action. Walk to the center of Oak Bluffs and to the OB Ferry. (The scenic 15 minute walk brings you to the Historic Campgrounds, right behind the center of Downtown OB and Circuit Avenue.) the beach is less than a 10-minute walk from there, unless your plan is to stop for ice cream :)

Each location above is accessible by bike, 7-8 minutes, and car in less than 10 minutes.

The 1st floor has 1,500 sq. ft of living space with an additional 1,500 in the finished lower level, perfect for family time, children, teenagers and adults. There is a 65 inch TV that connects to Sling TV, Netflix, and other media providers. The lower level is great for media & entertainment, board games, and movies.

The lower level also has a pullout full-sized bed and a 1/2 bathroom in addition to the three bedrooms on the 1st floor. Central A/C throughout the house (installed in 2022).

The outdoor landscape/ grounds, front and rear decks, are surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees which provide tranquility and privacy. There is a gas outdoor grill on the rear deck and outdoor shower.

As 5-Star VRBO hosts since 2013, we welcome families and friends, many of whom return annually. We look forward to sharing our own home away from home with wonderful families and guests.
