Location was close to the ferry, main street and the adoreable cottages.  It's an older place but updated.  Our family room bathroom was so huge.  The pull out bed was difficult to get out but comfortable.  The view was stupendous.  The reception helped with luggage as no elevator.  The snack room had good stuff. 

Location was fantastic .

We have stayed at many places in our vast travel and we have never agreed on a perfect hotel. Until now. This place has it all, a perfect 10! Perfect location, steps off the boat dock. Perfect amenities like beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and ice for day trips to the beach. Perfect solarium with ice cream, candy, coffee, tea, snacks and even pop corn to pop in the microwave. Outdoor shower, games on back lawn, jacuzzi, porch seating outside rooms, the list goes on. We were greeted by Garrett who couldn't have been nicer and our room was ready 2 hours early to boot. Again, a perfect 10!

A perfect 10!

Unbelievable stay at The Dockside Inn!!! This place is THE BEST!!!! It was our first trip to the island. We stayed here for 2 nights and 2 nights in Edgartown and this was the superior portion of our trip. The Inn is located within walking distance of the Seastreak and Hyline ferries. It’s also directly across the street from numerous establishments (the sandbar, Nancy’s, Lobsterview, the Black Dog). The Inn also had a full room of beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels, toys, etc) all for free just take what you want and bring it back later to the beach which was walkable about a block away. There was also breakfast and snack items for free. The room was small but very well air conditioned and quiet despite the foot traffic. There is also a balcony that was great to have some quiet time looking at the ocean while having a coffee or a cocktail. We will absolutely stay here again in the future and can’t wait to go back. Thank you Dockside Inn for everything!!

AMAZING STAY!! Dockside Inn has it all covered and is the BEST location on MV!!

Super friendly welcoming, and they store luggage when you get off the ferry if you want to explore the Vineyard-   Easy access and informative staff    There is a receptionist in attendance full time 

Welcoming 

We did the Dockside Tour with Troy! It was absolutely amazing! We learned so much!! He knew about all the famous, infamous, and historic people and events from all over the island. I highly recommend this tour.

Oak Bluffs tour

Quaint old inn. We had a beautifully decorated room and bathroom (Room 29) overlooking the harbour at Oak Bluffs.  Coffee and snacks available downstairs all day to help yourself. Able to park our hire car right outside. Really enjoyed our stay!

Most things in Oak Bluffs are within easy walking distance of the hotel including the "gingerbread cottages" and restaurants e.g. The Tavern and Fishbone Grille

This hotel was excellent value for money compared with other places we looked at on Martha's Vineyard, (and what we experienced touring around Massachusetts in general). 

It was October when we visited and although some places had closed for the season, there was plenty to explore and enjoy across the island. 

(Note: they don't offer breakfast and there are stairs and no lift)

Great location on Martha's Vineyard

We needed an affordable place to stay for a wedding that didn't require a 3-night minimum. When we arrived we were greeted with champagne. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful (there were strawberry starbursts, cookies, and various snacks). The solarium also had a number of snacks: chips, pretzels, granola bars, yogurt, fruit, ice cream sandwiches, popsicles, coffee, tea, and water. Great location in Oak Bluffs. The only downside is the walls are a bit thin but it wasn't built to be a hotel, so I just chalked that up to be expected. If you are a light sleeper maybe get a room on the 3rd floor (but you have to walk the stairs) or in the back of the building, ear plugs are always an option too.  The bathrooms are also a bit small, so there aren't a lot of places to put your toiletries but I made due by keeping things in my bag and bringing the bag into the bathroom. 

Affordable and Great Snacks

Awesome location and service, Kevin helped advise not only what we should see while on the island, but made our stay at Dockside seamless - with all the towels and beach supplies we could need (minus the swimsuit!). Booked to be back in July next year! 

Going earlier next year!

We recently returned from our trip to Martha's Vineyard after spending several days on the island.  Our stay at The Dockside Inn was one of the many highlights.  The Inn is just the right size, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.  You can tell they enjoy what they do, and they do it well!  So many thoughtful extras - I really enjoyed the beautiful floral arrangement in the lobby, the 'solarium' with lots of help-yourself snacks, and the black 'make-up' towel in the room (what genius!).  John is an enthusiastic owner/innkeeper with lots of knowledge of the island.  We also took a bus tour with Troy our first morning and highly recommend it! The Inn was close to everything in the town of Oak Bluffs - we enjoyed being in the heart of everything.  We'll book again if we get the chance to come back to MV!

What a gem!

People have reviewed this inn as a 4.5. I’ll start with the positives, and then share the reality of what your paying for. 
The location is fabulous… you’re literally steps always to cross the street from the Hyline ferry. It is on the wharf, and there are many restaurants, as well as shopping to keep your interest up. Oak Bluffs is a very nice place. The other positive was that the staff was extremely cordial, considerate, yet limited (to no fault of their own)
Now… the downside… after coming from P-Town and an immaculate inn, this place was every bit as expensive with little to offer. Once you check in (and we were in a suite) it felt dirty, don’t expect the water bottles upon arrival, no ceiling fans, just 1970’s A/C units that work when they want to. One gentleman offered to help with one of our bags, other than that prepare for a lot of steps. Most of the food that is in the common area is left by other guests. We left a new quiche, and new cheesecake that we were happy to donate. The carpets were dirty, the locks didn’t work properly, the overall cleanliness was disastrous, unless you liked old Vegas motels. The only place for a real breakfast is called “Biscuits” which is moderate to fair, as ar the other restaurant’s. The one place that we found that was more than reasonable was a place called “Giordanos” A three course meal with reasonable prices, including wine. I’ve been to the island before, and it is bigger than you’d think. We met the owner of Budget, who  gave us a great discount on a car for 48 hours. I highly suggest a car. We covered everything even through a half day of rain, and the next to finish it with stops along the way. The island is always beautiful, and the homes, and people are extremely nice. I hope that this deportation does not affect its charm. Back to the inn. The TV’s are horrible, even at 100, you couldn’t   hear over the fan/A/C unit. Bring a Roku unless you enjoy commercials. The prehistoric TV’s are not even set up. We were in room #32, and the view from our bedroom was very nice. It overlooks the dock and harbor. This would be a fabulous 3 star inn, but until they do updating and improvements, that’s a generous grade. Should they update it, it would be one of the best on the island. We would recommend this, yet not for the prices of popcorn ceilings, and not much privacy.
