The Wesley Hotel- Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, MA
History of the Wesley:The Wesley Hotel is the last of the grand hotels which were built in Oak Bluffs during the late 1800's. The Wesley has been in continuous operation as a destination for travelers since 1879. The Wesley was built by Mr. A.G. Wesley for the sum of $18,000.00. Over the years, the hotel has undergone many changes. At its largest, there were 105 rooms, including those in the Arms building which was built around 1924. Currently the hotel has a total of 95 rooms.
The Wesley occupies a highly visible location across from the Oak Bluffs harbor. It is one of the first buildings seen by travellers coming by land or by sea. The hotel personifies the Victorian atmosphere which can be seen throughout the town. The majority of the hotels were not yet in existence when the Wesley House opened in the spring of 1879 in Vineyard Grove (Cottage City from 1880-1907 and now Oak Bluffs).
To the Letterbox:
The Lettebox sits just past the Wesley Hotel. In a field overlooking a Sunset Pond. The pond is on Lake Ave. It sits across from Oak Bluff's Harbor and East Chop Drive. Walk through opening in fence. You will see 3 trees and a couple of benches, that overlook the pond. In the very first tree, in the crotch is a large hole that the box sits in. It is approx 5 feet off the ground, so you will have to reach for it. Please use stealth and rehide well, it can be a busy area.
