Perfect for: Small People with Small Families
It’s kind of like an apartment on a lot, but one with killer ocean views and enough beadboard to remind you that you’re on Martha’s Vineyard. And consider its massive mahogany deck (this is when size matters). Bonus: With only 855 square feet, you won’t have to make excuses for turning down weekend guests.

Address: 10 Namas Ave., Oak Bluffs
