Beloved by both in-the-know tastemakers and A-Listers—everyone from Ted Danson to the Obamas has owned a home here—the New England island’s mix of dramatic landscapes, raw bar fare, and the sweet gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs conspires to create a location that looks like something plucked out of a Nancy Meyers movie.

Not only does a rental allow you to live like a local, but many spaces are equipped with gorgeous ocean views and direct beach access.

Built in 1964 by famed architect Eliot Noyes, this mid-century spot is a blast from the past. Here, typical beachy decor is traded in for low-slung furniture and strategic pops of color.
