INKWELL BEACH COTTAGE

Inkwell Beach Cottage sits directly across Beach Road from Inkwell Beach in Oak Bluffs, with the Oak Bluffs ferry terminal within a 10-minute walk. The Flying Horses Carousel, a national historic landmark, is a 7-minute walk from the bed and breakfast, and free island-wide VTA bus service stops outside the front door. Shops and restaurants in Oak Bluffs town center are within a 10-minute walk, and Joseph Sylvia State Beach and Edgartown town center are accessible by bus or car hire.

The hotel has 27 rooms, including Deluxe Double Rooms with Sea View, Queen Rooms with Sea View, and Queen Suites with Two Queen Beds. Each room has a private bathroom and air conditioning, and select rooms have balconies or front-porch access with ocean views. The Deluxe Double Room with Bath and the Superior Twin Room with Sea View are additional options for couples and families.

Complimentary full breakfast is served each morning on the front porch, with cooked-to-order spinach scrambled eggs, waffles, fresh fruit, and assorted breads. The house manager, Colleen, asks guests each morning what they would like and prepares breakfast using fresh local ingredients. Afternoon happy hour adds Prosecco, cheese and charcuterie boards, chocolate cake, and fresh-baked cookies, with coffee, tea, juice, and water available all day.

The front porch overlooks Inkwell Beach and is equipped with outdoor furniture and a picnic area on the terrace. The hotel supplies complimentary beach towels, beach chairs, and sun umbrellas, plus an outdoor shower and bike storage for beach days and cycling trips. Board games and fruits are available for guests, and parking and car hire cover island exploration.

Morning beach yoga with Christopher takes place on Inkwell Beach directly across the road from the hotel, and the front porch serves as a sunrise viewing point. The property displays artwork throughout the interior that celebrates the history of Oak Bluffs and the historic Inkwell Beach. Families can reach Edgartown and island beaches on the free VTA bus, and the hotel's board games, picnic area, and front porch support relaxed stays.
