Stayed at the Capricorn House with some family members. Accommodations were clean, bed/breakfast style. Beautiful Victorian home across from the beach with brilliant views of the ocean. The managers provided beach towels and chairs for us. The ocean side rooms have spacious decks, with loungers, table and chairs - a very inviting place to relax and enjoy the views. Very... More

We stayed in the room with the king size bed and ocean view. Loved the view. The room was bigger than I expected after reading other reviews. I found we had plenty of room. It is expensive but other b & b's were about the same this time of year. The continental breakfast was great and the owners were friendly.... More

Capricorn is a little gem in lovely Oak Bluffs. Perfectly located for walking, across from the beach, a couple blocks from Ocean Park and the ferry, and a few blocks into town. Shuttle buses take you to neighboring towns of Vineyard Haven and Edgartown. Okay so the rooms and bathrooms are small (get one with a balcony!) but this ain't... More

I stayed one night in this beautiful bed and breakfast on the ocean. My room faced the ocean with a deck. Diana greeted me with open arms. Her smile welcoming. The accommodations reminded me of the family house on the lake. Walking distance to the village of Oak Bluffs. I woke up to watch the boats at 5am go out... More

Location counts for a lot in picking a summertime B&B. The Capricorn House location was ideal for us: directly across from the beach, an easy walk to the downtown area (less than 10 min), very close to the bike path, and steps away from the bus route. The house is far enough removed from the downtown traffic and commotion to... More

I so looked forward to my stay on MV this past late summer here. Like the previous reviewer stated, there seemed to be no life and we felt unwelcome when we came and left. I am not an early riser, but not late either. By the time we got to the kitchen/breakfeast area everything was gone or picked over. They... More

This was our first stay in a USA B&B. We were amazed at the poor comparison with British B&Bs. (However later in our trip we stayed at some lovely B&Bs in North Conway NH and Woodstock VT). Inn: Great location and the balcony room was worth booking. The room was truly tiny however. Housekeeping: Did not make the beds. We... More

The Capricorn House is a gem in a wonderful location. The front porch is a perfect place to read and watch the Oak Bluffs scene go by. Deidre and Henry are wonderful hosts and the breakfast muffins are delicious.

My husband and I left another hotel in Oak Bluffs at the last minute because the room was so bad. I had never done that before. We had to scurry to find a room on the Vineyard at the last minute. We luckily found The Capricorn. It was quaint, clean and simple. No frills. Small but sweet. And the price... More
