About This Home
As of August 2025Harthaven Cottage - This magical cottage, tucked away just 2/10's of a mile from the private association beach, is waiting for you to call it your own. A covered porch welcomes you. Once inside, you begin to take in the charming details of this classic 3-season home. There are cathedral ceilings with exposes painted beams. Home features 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths and outdoor shower. Both bathrooms were renovated in 2021. There is a screened-in porch that leads out to a sunny back deck overlooking a variety of flora and fauna. Mini-splits throughout for both heat and air conditioning. A Vermont Castings propane stove creates a cozy cottage. Harthaven Association has 2 private beaches, the only private, small boat harbor on the island and a tennis/pickleball court. Right off the bike path, you are just over a mile to town, ferry and more. The back side of the neighborhood connects to Tradewinds and walking trails along Farm Pond. Pack your bags and move right in. Home is being sold furnished and is available for you to enjoy this summer! Association fees include road and beach maintenance. There is an additional membership fee for tennis/pickle ball.
Created in the late 1800's/early 1900's, Harthaven has been referred to as "the best darn place to grow up." What was once a family enclave has grown into a neighborhood that is a blend of family, friends, and people who fell in love with the community feel of this low-key section of Oak Bluffs.
