    We stayed at the sail loft (two bedrooms) unit from labor day 9/6 to 9/9 with my extented family (2 adults, 2 elderlies, a kid and a baby). The room is spacious, clean and confortable. It has a full kitchen which is very convenient when dinning out with two yound children sometimes are not easy. The best of all is the location. It is in such convenient location yet still quiet. It is within walking distance to flying horse, beaches, famous restaurants and shopping district. We had a really good time staying there.

    I recently took my family to the Vineyard and stayed at the Dockside Inn for the first time. We splurged on the Garden Apartment, and I wasn’t sure what we’d be getting for the money (the 360 tour doesn’t work on my computer). Although I still think it was pricey, I was very pleased with the accommodations.

    Upon arrival (with tons of gear as we have two small children), we were able to leave our luggage in a safe place and were given a tour of the inn. Faith was full of useful information on the buses, beaches, etc. We were offered beach chairs and towels although we brought our own.

    I was struck by how private the Garden Apartment is. Although it’s just behind the courtyard of the main inn, the fences, bushes and trees make it feel very secluded. We had a private deck with a table/chairs and a small back area with a private outdoor shower (so key for young children and the beach!). At night, my husband and I sat on the deck and enjoyed wine under the stairs, and although the deck is close to a busy street, we found it private and quiet. Inside, the apartment was very clean and well equipped and we had ample space to spread out. The kitchen had basic supplies so we could cook (including wine glasses, which was a nice touch). The bathroom was huge, and the separate shower/jacuzzi tub were wonderful. Overall, there was a ton of light in the apartment, and you could use the AC, or open the porch doors/windows. The only thing that I did not like was the mattresses – I prefer a firm mattress, and the bed and pull out were a bit soft and creaky. However, the linens were clean.

    On our day of departure, we missed our scheduled ferry and the other woman in the Inn’s office was so kind and considerate to us to make sure we knew in the meantime that we could store our luggage, use the common outdoor shower after the beach, etc.

    I would definitely recommend the Inn and the Garden Apartment and look forward to staying there again

    We (my husband and I) stayed 3 nights at the Dockside Inn, August 23 – 26, 2010, and really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, bed was great, staff was super helpful and friendly, and having tea and coffee available 8 am till 10 pm at no charge was awesome. The location to the ferry dock and the main shopping/entertainment street of Oak Bluffs was excellent. We would definitely stay again.
