Fantastic location - right in the heart of Oak Bluffs but still quiet and peaceful. Easy walk to the beach and fishing pier. The home is eclectic with many unique antique pieces, which we found to be charming. Would stay again!

Unfortunate
The property was clean, the location was amazing. As soon as we entered the smell was almost unbearable, smelt like old mothballs. It’s an old house with so many nicknacks you have to put some away so they don’t get broken. That didn’t bother us we love all the charm of a house with character. I had to get incense and vinegar to put in bowls to help get rid of the smell, it did work a little. If there was another option we would have moved it was that bad. We couldn’t use the dressers in the bedroom for fear our clothes would stink. The dryer vent sits in a container of water not vented outside, this is important to know and not mentioned anywhere on the listing. Imagine doing laundry and cooking in the same room and the heat from the dryer blasting in the kitchen it’s just not ideal. I would think it’s dangerous. Unfortunate it’s are only vaca all year I should have questioned the small when I saw it in another review.

Great location, beautiful property - problems indoors
Location was great. Had a beautiful vacation with family. BUT, this house needs MAJOR decluttering and professional repairs. Kitchen was fine, But we had several minor injuries to our group: tripping on heavy furniture (excessive old, uncomfortable & worn furniture everywhere), protruding metal on door locks and porch rail. House so full of unnecessary, uncomfortable, old furniture and sloping floors, there was no room to maneuver around dining room table, or corners, etc. Dirty rugs throughout. Didn’t want to go barefoot inside!
Note to Owner: your property and location are absolutely great. We would love to stay here again but not unless living areas were more clean & comfortable for all ages.

Observations on 20 Someset Oak Bluffs
20 Someset Observations
Good:
At the end of the week, we had had a great time at the property:
Loved sitting out on the porch with the ocean view
Beautiful ocean view from three of the four rooms
beds are comfortable
The outdoor shower is wonderful (when pressure is full...)
The kitchen is actually pretty well stocked and a sign in the kitchen will guide you to most of the available tools...
Not so:
There are a couple of windows on the property are broken
There are a couple of broken screens in the bedroom doors
grill gas ran out on Wednesday
hooks on the wall in the bathrooms are dangerous for eye health, particularly for tall people, which we are.
the dishwasher is wonky to start (I did get it running however by applying pressure to the closed door while I press the start button).
Cluttered arrangement of the furniture and other items in the home presents a hazard for big and tall (greater than 6') people to navigate
beds are too short for tall people
kitchen (in particular) was frustrating in its disorganization: several pots and pans and wood cutting boards were stored in the oven. Discovered this upon preheating one day!
finding kitchen items is a game of hunt and seek; example found an ice cream scooper in the dining room on top of a chest containing a variety of shot glasses
outdoor shower water pressure drops to pitiful flow when sprinkler system activates at 6:15 to 7 PM (a time when we might be coming off the beach and want to use the shower)
the ceiling on outdoor shower means tall individuals (my kids are 6'3" plus) have head against it when showering
None of the floors is level; you feel like you are falling backward when seated on some of the slanted floors (upstairs bathroom and first-floor dining room in particular)
The day we arrived, the place smelled great likely due to something the cleaners sprayed. Slowly we noticed a musty
(? Urine) smell at the base of the stairs and in the upstairs bathroom.
It might be nice to have an A/C unit in the 4th bedroom.

Premium price, dated house
Great location, great porch, nice outdoor shower. "Beautiful antiques" is a euphemism for old, outdated furniture. Ceilings had major water leaks at one point, and are falling in. Doors don't close, and bathroom doors don't lock. House full of clutter. Kitchen towels and oven mitts are years old and dirty. Dishwasher broke during visit, and even when fixed, had standing water in the bottom. Clothes dryer is in the middle of the kitchen (and is the "table" for the coffee maker), and is an apartment style dryer. It literally vents into the kitchen. Screen door broken, and missing screen. Bare bulbs on the ceiling throughout the house. Lawn sprinklers go on during the time you want to use the outdoor shower (5PM), and uses all the water pressure. If you're looking for a great location, you found it. If you're looking for the house described on the website for the premium price you are paying, then you will be sorely disappointed.
