This place is in a great location right next to the passenger ferry. The breakfast options are slim pickings (if medical diet needs bring your own as with notice they didnt accomodate) but lots of close restaurants and Sand Bar is across the road. Needs coffee pot and microwave in the room but not a big deal as the location... more

We came to MV to bike and this was a great location. Near the ferry for walking over with bike and suitcase and nice view of the busy harbor. I didn't see a better location during our 110 miles of bicycling in 4 days! R. Roody more

My first experience at The Dockside Inn was absolutely wonderful. Service was great and Alex was a great help, not only with the bags and local info, but he was a courteous young man and perceptive to our needs. The location of the Inn couldn't be better; we didn't need a car to find restaurants, shops and the square. The... more

My family have been going to Dockside Inn for many years. Sometimes we stayed in the Garden Apartments and the Sail Loft and other times in the rooms. I really enjoyed it when we stayed at the Garden Apartments and Sail Loft because it was truly like a home away from home. The staff was always helpful and the rooms... more

We stayed at the Dockside Inn and had a wonderful time. Our accommodations were clean. The staff was attentive. Breakfast was great. It was located near beautiful Ocean Park (great kite flying), beaches that were great for our two small children (gentle surf), boutique shopping, great restaurants that run the gamut, all within walking distance. A must for children is... more

My friends and I had a wonderful getaway at the Dockside Inn. The rooms were very pleasant and the location was the best we could have wished for--a few steps away from the famous Flying Horses and public transportation including the ferry from Falmouth to the Islands. The hustle and bustle of Oak Bluffs out front and the quiet and... more

There have been a spate of negative reviews lately, but before I booked there were only the older, more positive ones. I have to say, upon reflecting on the positive ones, I found myself wondering if we were staying at the same place. MV is expensive and we knew we had booked one of the least expensive facilities on the... more

One of Martha's Vineyard's poorest inns. Claimed to overlook Oak Bluffs Harbor. It overlooked a Budget Rental office. No water to be seen. Trash haulers were noisy and picked up trash cans at 6:30 in the morning. The bar across the street had revelers that interfered with any calm. Rooms were dirty and electrical sockets were overloaded and not up... more

Actually I am somewhat perplexed over his review. I talked to this gentleman every day , and at no time did he express his feelings. I do say that parking is not guarenteed but if my memory is correct, he usually had a space. Also, we have no control over trash pick-up in the town. It is done by private...

We stayed in the suite in the back (a separate building). The bed was probably 10 years old, it dipped in the middle, and squeaked endlessly through the night. We accidentally left a few items behind, and we called the next day to locate the items. They indicated they found the items and would be shipping them to us. Wonderful!... more

As you can see in our other reviews, If we find items left by guests we mail them back free. In this case in the initial phone conversation I said I would check with my maids, and if found I would mail the items back. At no time did I say the items had been found. We kept on playing...
