    Our family history spans three generations of vineyard summers in Oak Bluffs.  We grew up playing in the sand of the Inkwell Beach, going on adventures up-island, digging for clams and building sandcastles.  Exploring and immersing ourselves in forests and hidden coves. Always feeling welcomed by the warm smiles and generous spirits of those who greet you all over the island.  We have lived in - and loved being part of - for many summers before we became innkeepers here. Our motivation for choosing to take on the responsibility of these historic properties was simple: to uphold the island's history and its values. To keep them personal and locally owned.  We want to preserve the enduring community spirit and its unique porch life culture, that connects us more deeply to one another. 

     

    The Inkwell Beach Cottage is a place of special significance to us for many reasons.  We love Oak Bluffs but the heart of OB is the Inkwell Beach which faces the cottage and we welsome the sunrise every morning from the porch. The Inkwell Beach Cottage now joins together our historic properties of the Narragansett House (built in 1870) and the Dunmere By The Sea (built in 1884). 


    Dunmere House is the adjacent property next to the Inkwell Beach House and is a stately blue wedding cake Victorian.  The Dunmere is notable not just for its architecture, but also because it has been listed as the new Site #37 on the African American Heritage Trail of Martha's Vineyard as a listed sanctuary site in the Green Book, first published in 1936 by Victor Hugo Green, a guide to vacation refuges for African American travelers.    


    Here, we are lucky to experience the restorative powers of water, wind and sun each day. With dozens of beaches, peaceful forests, history tours, lively harbors, waterspouts for all skills, as well as a vibrant music and art scene, we invite you to immerse yourself in island life. 



    We want each of our Inns to feel like a haven for our Guests - a place to relax, recharge and restore. 


    Welcome to Inkwell Beach Cottage. 

    Welcome to the family.
