Summercamp Hotel - Front lawn of the Summercamp on the harbor in Oak Bluffs. - Hotels Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

Summercamp is a great place for a first time visit to MV. It was a great location walking distance to the fun parts of Oak Bluffs, air conditioned, & clean. The porch was my favorite area. I spent a lot of time on the rocking chairs watching the day go by. Other common areas such as the rec room (Wii and ping pong) and the indoor seating really lived up to the summer camp theme. The rooms are small which is fine because there's so much to do outside of the rooms. Like much of MV it's older so you may hear other rooms, but that seldom happened. Also you use keys instead of keycards. I highly recommend this place! read more

This hotel is fantastic. It is right on the water with a stunning view from the porch. In the mornings I walked across the street to the water and sit on one of the benches while I enjoyed coffee. This hotel is super close to everything but far enough away from the main street that there is some peace and quiet. The rooms are super comfortable and the staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend this hotel. read more

I paid $727 per night for a queen room with harbor view. I regret to say, it was NOT worth the money. At that price, I feel I can be a bit picky: 1. The tv was old and had minimal smart capabilities. You get basic cable or YouTube. No casting, no Netflix, no Apple TV. It was not signed into the hotel's wifi when we arrived, so we had to search for the settings to log in. The staff told us the tv had Netflix capabilities, but it did not. We like to relax with a show at bedtime so this was honestly a huge letdown 2. The harbor view was two windows that looked out into the harbor. And while this was nice, one window was blocked with a (loud) air conditioner. Also, there wasn't really a way to sit and relax and enjoy the view- just one chair, so my husband and I couldn't sit together. 3. The website claims the room had both "Bluetooth radio" and "USB ports." It had neither of these. Just an old clock radio-looking thing with a clock that didn't work. 4. I called ahead of time to ask about coffee (we are big coffee drinkers) and was told they are "all over the hotel." Well really there one coffee station in the lobby and one on the fourth floor. We were on the second floor. No big deal, the coffee was good and they had real cream... but again, at $727 a night, a Keurig in my room would be appropriate. Also, if you want anything other that sugar or sweet n' low, you'll have to bring it yourself. 5. As for the bed... it really wasn't comfortable. The sheets were hot and didn't stay taught on the bed. We both woke up a lot. You might want to bring your own pillow. 6. We rented two beach chairs and an umbrella for a total of $17.00. Not a huge cost, but again... $727. The chairs were incredibly uncomfortable. Had I known, I would have brought my own. What we DID like: 1. The games were fun - we enjoyed playing cornhole and ping pong. The cornhole bags were not regulation though, and smelled like bacon. 2. The front deck is nice. 3. Great location. Walking distance to Oak Bluffs center. 4. Free bike rentals from a place down the street (they have about 6, first come-first served). 5. I liked the shampoo and conditioner. Shower was small, but good pressure. TIPS: To make up for the ridiculous cost of this hotel, you'll want to save some money in other ways. 1. bring your own breakfast and lunch. Your room has a VERY small fridge (like, won't fit a quart of milk small) but no freezer. ... that's about it. Everything else is 36289286382 million dollars. read more

Terrible place! Administration terrible! Supervisor of administration does not know what to do at all. I called to be entered into graduation block - I was told that I was entered into the block - then I was never called back. Bed bugs and roaches in the room. The name of the block was the Carter group. This is a bad place. DO NOT STAY at Summercamp Hotel!!!!! Grade rating -10000. read more

Located in Oak Bluffs, it's hard not to miss the Summercamp Hotel. Summercamp is one of the last historic Victorian hotels on the island, associated with the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association. You can see it's brightly colored doors as you make your way through Oak Bluffs. From the minute you step onto the porch, you can see you're going to enjoy your stay. You can take calming views of the Oak Bluffs Harbor while sipping your coffee in the early morning, take a walk through the Gingerbread Houses, and grab a bite at one of the wonderful restaurants on Circuit Ave. This is a prime location if you are exploring Oak Bluffs! They also provide a map, itineraries for what you're looking for, and spots they recommend when you check-in. Since Summercamp was built in the 1800's... the walls are paper thin, the rooms are small, and the rooms aren't built like the newer hotels (ie: the outside of our window trim was broken and shuttered the entire trip as they wind blew). Sadly, you aren't paying what you should be getting. Instead, you are paying for the BRAND that is Martha's Vineyard. read more

Very nice hotel. Friendly staff. Room and bathroom I had was a bit small but furnishing were well kept and themed to the hotel name.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Summercamp in Oaksbluff. I booked it based on their Instagram - I mean, the kitschy cute interior totally got me. I was thrilled when I realized it was a short walk away from the byline ferry dock. Perfect! Upon our arrival, a lovely gentleman cheerfully checked us in and shared some recommendations of what to do and where to go. They even surprised us with a bottle of Champagne for our honeymoon!!! The rooms are cozy, clean, and have GREAT A/C. We loved the location of the hotel - close to the ferry, gingerbread village, and circuit ave. Thanks again for a fabulous stay! read more

Just got back from 4 days. Very nice staff and very thoughtful for shipping something we left there back to us. Three big problems 1. For allowing dogs - property is not dog friendly and they don't allow inside besides the room 2. They advertise they provide dog bowls / bed , was expecting it waiting in the room but had to ask for it 3 Our room also had a door facing outside -- unfortunately lots of bugs by nature get into bedroom read more

Summercamp Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

First time in the vineyard. We will always try and stay here. Really nice place with very friendly staff. Complimentary coffee, tea, and seltzer water on every floor and all day. They have large lockers to store your luggage if you arrive before your room is ready. The location is perfectly located near everything. You can walk everywhere from here. Everything is updated at this hotel and clean. It is honestly perfect. No complaints at all. read more

PROS: - Great location - easy walk to where the action is, ferries, restaurants, shopping. - "Rustic Bohemian" style vibe. - Great front porch to sit and pass the time, enjoy coffee, conversation. - Clean but small rooms. - Lockers and showers near lobby if staying past 11AM checkout. - CONS: - Very small bathroom with boat cabin size sink, no counter space and no ventilation. - Rooms are not well insulated against noise from above, next door, etc. - There are no elevators and some stairs are extra steep. - Queen size room may not actually have queen-sized beds. More like two double beds. (Pillows were great, bed - not so much). - Old-fashioned room keys. Keeps with the hotel's theme and vintage vibe, but remember to manually press the lock and close the door. Neither functions are automatic. - Super cramped parking spaces and limited parking behind hotel. TIP - unload before parking. There's barely enough door space to get in/out of the car. If you're there for fun and sun and spend little time in your room, this is a great space. If you're honeymooning or want a super-comfy chill space, probably best to keep looking. It was perfect weather during our stay and we used the room for sleeping. I couldn't imagine spending more than a few hours confined to our room during inclement weather. Even more dreadful to think about having to do so in confined quarters with a couple of young kids. read more

Stay Length- Sun-Wed 9/5-9/7 Labor Day weekend 2 Queen 2nd floor Pros:Location.... Across from the water, close to shuttle, close to shops, close to popular restaurants. (5 minute walk) X-Large lockers to hold your luggage so you can explore while waiting to check in! Free! They give you a key. The porch! Perfect for relaxing in am with a coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Complimentary water and coffee! They even have a sparkling water option. Cute little canteen/shop Comfortable beds Clean Updated bathroom Really good smelling shampoo and conditioner and it was large containers not small bottles Really cute themed decorations Cute room key! AC very strong Rooms had wine opener They had 2 wine glasses in the room and a glass container to fill with water from the canteen Comfortable beds Beach chairs/umbrellas 5$ rental beach towels are complimentary and the umbrellas for rain were free too Common area bathroom has a shower GREAT AFTER YOU CHECK OUT YOU CAN TAKE A SHOWER AFTER THE BEACH! Cons: Random but they didn't have a plastic bag for the ice bucket You can't open the windows for fresh air. The grout in the shower and bathroom floor was dirty could have used some bleach for the grout Bathroom was small Bathroom was very small and there was not a lot of space for toiletries Staff was not friendly ... would not greet you or smile. Hallways were really hot and main common areas were warm. Porch had spilt wine and vomit one night and no employees cleaned it. (They should have the employees keeping areas clean. Common area was very small. They provided robes but we're not comfortable and very thin Towels were rough Blanket was not in a duvet it just had a flat sheet on top and bottom Overall I would stay here again I would bring a cooler bc the fridge was too small. Staff was very unfriendly you felt like you were bothering them. For kids it had a great hangout area with videos games and bean bags. They offer two pet rooms but there were a lot of up charges and rules. I would not pay more than 350 off season and 500 in season. Although you are paying for location. Overall it was clean and bright and modern. I would stay here again but for the location. read more

Summer camp was outstanding. Rooms were supper clean. The hotel staff were very concerned about mask wearing in all public places, but nicely. When I discovered I left my phone in the lobby, Victoria was able to get it on the next ferry. Best service ever! btw... steamship authority crew and shuttle bus driver were also very helpful! Thanks to all for a great visit to the vineyard! read more

Summercamp Hotel - Beautiful lobby seating - Hotels Near Me - Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts

I could spend the entire summer here. Such a fun, bright, and cheery hotel with wonderful amenities. Formerly the Wesley but recently renovated to this new whimsical but still charming historic hotel. The rooms were immaculate and subtly luxurious - clean walls, crisp white linens and cool comforter, fluffy pillows, plush white towels, and furnished with a modern beach resort style. There are refreshing shampoo and conditioner pumps in the shower, soaps, lotion, make up remover, and black wash cloths that remind you you're staying at a five star hotel. Hair dryer, iron and board, mini fridge, ice bucket are provided. We loved our room, but we spent most of our time in the lobby, game room, or lounging in their rockers or hanging chairs. There's complimentary coffee and tea for residents, beach towels to borrow, and a small snack bar with a fun selection of bulk candy. You can walk to all the great restaurants, shops, beach, gingerbread cottages, the oldest carousel in the country, and watch the sunset across the water from the porch. This is definitely one of my favorite hotels. read more

I visited Summercamp in May with a friend and we were absolutely blown away! The property itself is stunning with bright, fun decor and a breathtaking view and porch that overlooks the water . The hotel has a "canteen" with complimentary tea, coffee and sparkling water which we absolutely loved. The staff was the absolute highlight of the stay. The women working at the desk were attentive and friendly. The manager Mary Lou went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable! She gave us incredibly helpful recommendations and continually checked on us during our stay. We had a phenomenal time and will definitely be back! read more

If you are looking to be close to the Ferry and close to the activity on Oak Bluff this is the place to be. It's pricey but you pay for the convenience. Room was small but the bed is super comfy. Staff very nice. The bathroom could use some updating the tile in rough shape. The room wasn't very dark we tend to like it dark. But a personal preference. The porch is wonderful to sit and relax it's right across from the water! Was a nice weekend. read more

First of all, what a Stark contrast to the hotel situation in New Hampshire. Our family was planning a getaway over Columbus Day weekend. At first we thought we had reservations at the Lodge in Lincoln, to our surprise they canceled the reservation, and sent and sent an email doing so. When I called for an explanation, I was blamed, and the service was appalling. Enter summer camp. My wife and I have always enjoyed going to Oak Bluffs, and we still really want to get away for Columbus Day weekend. We took a look at some reviews as everybody should when it comes to booking hotel or anything for that matter. We booked a room for one night, for us plus our children. We dealt primarily with Scott, who I must say, is one of the most kindest, professional and wonderful person in the industry. He took care of every need, thought outside the box, gave great recommendations, and because of his professionalism and passion for real customer service, we will most definitely go back! Great Job Scott, and great glasses too!!! For example on the first night, after dinner, Scott let us into a family playroom that was previously locked. We enjoyed playing ping-pong, and the kids got to run around a little, which was a nice touch. The next day after shopping around a bit when we returned back to the hotel to gather our stuff, and surprise my son, with an awesome stuffed animal. Also, because it was our birthdays, the hotel provided goodies and complimentary champagne. They made us feel like the Royal family!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!! The room was awesome, the bed comfortable, location epic!!!! Can't wait to return!!!! Extra shots to Scott!!!! read more

A very honest review good: location- close to town but not so close that you hear it. Bedding was soft. Bed was soft. bad: price- not worth half the price, tiny rooms, itty bitty bathroom, dirty, hidden charge for beach chairs etc. plus the whole "it's summer camp for adults" is a joke. They have a ping pong table. That is it. Sabe your money Stay elsewhere read more

My boyfriend and I stayed for a week (the week before Memorial Day weekend. Our room was great, we stayed in the Water View Queen. The room was a good size for two people. The shower was on the smaller size, but other than that everything was as pictured and very clean. The Canteen has free coffee, tea, water, and hot chocolate all day. The front porch is great to enjoy wine and a good book. I would 100% recommend this location if you are looking to enjoy the island. You are walking distance to restaurants, beaches, and shops. The front desk gave us a map and the staff were knowledgeable of the area and gave great suggestions! read more

They have done a decent job of renovating the hotel, but unfortunately it is very, very loud and poorly constructed. The walls are very thin and this prevents you from getting a good night sleep. The walls are so thin, you can hear your neighbors talking and snoring through the walls. Every move, every shower, every flush can be heard clear as day. This kept me up every night. I did like the water and coffee bar. That's a nice touch. The hotel is walkable to everything in Oak Bluffs which is great, and the front porch is nice to hang out on. For an average of $500 a night, I do expect a good night sleep in a larger room. Additionally, my lamp shade and ceiling were covered in mold. Again, for the price, that is unacceptable. read more

What an excellent place to stay in Oak Bluffs. It was so great to be close to everything, yet have peace and quiet at the same time. I'm not sure how, but our room seemed sound proof. Lots of great amenities and so close to the water and beauty of the island. The staff was very attentive and friendly, especially Sandy at the front desk. She made sure we had everything we needed. The decor is fun, tasteful and creative. Everything was very clean. read more

I hate writing long, unpleasant reviews but here goes... Came to MV to celebrate my anniversary and my boyfriend and I were super excited to stay here because of all the great reviews, we stayed 2 nights mid-week, and booked a queen room with partial ocean view. When we got to our room, on the ground level, I noticed a 2-3 inch open gap between the top of the door and the molding. It was very strange and made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Our partial ocean view was partial because our view was actually of the emergency stairs that came down to the first floor. Why would I pay extra for a partial ocean view to only be staring at a huge stairway instead? I guess partial ocean view meant partial sky, road, and grass view as well. I asked the front desk if we could switch rooms because of these two reasons and they said they would check to see if another room is available, but in the meantime, they would fix the door. We left for lunch and came back a couple hours later and they did indeed fix the door by gluing and repainting another piece of wood to attach to the door. I was actually surprised by how well the fixed it. We were then told we could not move to any other room without paying an extra fee. Our sleep was unpleasant to say the least as there were flood lights directly outside our window that shone through the shades all evening. The AC is at head-level when laying down in bed so be prepared for air blowing directly on your face all night if you turn it on. If you're on the ground level there's lots of traffic noise throughout all hours of the evening, as well. As someone who recently moved away from NYC to get away from all the lights and sounds, I was looking forward to a quiet, (and dark,) getaway which I did not receive. I was super disappointed I chose to spend extra money on an ocean view that was anything but. The only positive was the free bicycle rentals which we took advantage of, and had lots of fun. For the price you pay to stay here, and they don't even offer food options (only snacks for purchase during specific hours), I would stay elsewhere next time I visit MV. read more

We stopped here because there aren't any showers by the beach! It's 10 to shower and 7 for a locker if you need it. They provide soap, shampoo and a towel. Super convenient and the hotel is adorable. I really liked how it was decorated! Also as a side note I accidentally left my wallet in the lobby and service couldn't have been better :). I would definitely consider staying here on a future visit. read more

Stayed at Summercamp for the Fourth of July and honestly the most adorable hotel I've ever stayed at! I booked very last minute and was thrilled that Summercamp had a room available for the holiday without completely breaking the bank. From the bedroom, bathroom, lobby, and grounds, everything was clean and beautiful. Beds were amazing and the shower has awesome wash and shampoo built in (not typical hotel cheap stuff)! I am already looking into booking a longer stay next month! Only complaint at all was that when we got off the ferry at noon we went to the hotel to see if we could leave our belongings while we went to the beach and waited for the 3 p.m. check in. We were told yes-- but only if we rented a $7 locker behind the main lobby area. We did, but I felt as though charging a fee was kind of petty when we were paying nearly $400/night already. Nevertheless, totally deserves the 5 stars! Would recommend staying here to anyone! read more

Hip vibe, great location, and comfortable accommodations. We really enjoyed our stay at Summercamp. It's got that kitschy, hip, modern feel, but with a nod to the history of the place. The rooms aren't huge, and there is a window AC unit running, but you can't beat the location, cleanliness, and comfort. There is a huge front porch where people congregate and watch the active harbor across the street. Very nice stay! read more

Extremely small room!!! We had a queen size room and bed is definitely just full size. The whole room plus the bathroom is TINY and I feel so restricted there and can't wait to get out of it.

We spent 3 days and 2 nights at summer camp and it was perfect. Our room had a partial water view and a private deck with a cute little lounge area. The hotel and our room were both decorated with whimsical odes to childhood summer camp activities.

4.5 stars. Great location, close to restaurants and walking distance from ferry. Free bike rental was great (only available on first come, first serve basis but we are early risers so wasn't a problem for us). Bed was super comfortable (on the soft side). Room is small but fine for 2 people. TV didn't work great which wasn't a huge deal since we weren't in the room all that much. No pool or gym. Did have complementary coffee and tea available 24 hours. Would definitely stay again. read more

Booked a last minute vacation here and was very happy with my stay. The rooms were really small, but I guess that's kind of par for the course in Martha's Vineyard. The hotel was pretty clean and from what I understand was recently updated. The staff was also very friendly and some of the perks include free parking and free coffee and water in the lobby. The camp theme is kind of cheesy, however being in a prime location close to some great restaurants and shopping make it bearable. My favorite part of the hotel might have been the beds. The mattress, pillows, and sheets are some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on. Overall I'd definitely recommend staying here. read more

For what we're paying it's a rip off. To start they say free parking but it's a tiny lot and not guaranteed. Parking is sparse everywhere here. Staff is unfriendly and don't really speak English. The room was very small and the the door was thin with no seals, we could hear everything. Maid service is suspect. We found food in our fridge and the in shower shampoo/conditioner was basically empty. We were out all morning and came back about 2 for a quick break. This is when room service decided to come by. The place is not that big for late maid service, 11am checkout for . On the plus side it's a great location and the porch is great to hang out. Your response is terrible I feel worse now than if you had just ignored it. read more

BEWARE of their cancelation policy or rescheduling policy. You need to do it 21 days in advance or be assessed a stiff penalty. They do not operate like the other hotels you may have used in the past. They don't care if you are calling 3 days in advance (76 hours before check in I called) from a pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I paid for a 2 day stay. I ended up with a 1 day stay and a balance due of less than $2. So if you have a family, I would avoid booking here. You never know what could happen. Find a place that respects families who try to get their loved ones proper medical care. Their policy is black and white. Even when offering to send proof of a hospital stay in the ICU they will not bend their policy. read more

We absolutely loved Summercamp. Location, amenities, convenience and property were superfab. Would def return here (though next time on Vineyard, may want to stay in Edgartown just for a different vantage point). Loved the fairy tale neighborhood behind the hotel, harbor view, comfortable porch /various seating areas and endless coffee supply among other things. Yes, our room was a small box, but a clean little jewel box nonetheless, lol. I knew when booking it was teeny and chose that level so was prepared for it. Only criticism was loud AC unit which could be upgraded but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend. read more
