About this property

FISH DERBY FROM CHAPPY, Walk to Beach or Salt Water Pond, 4 BR 2 BA, Ferry 1 mi

On Chappaquiddick. Be in the center of the annual world famous mid-September to mid-October Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby. This air conditioned 4-bedroom 2-bath house is located close, 1 mile from the Chappy Ferry and Edgartown Center, and a 10-minute walk to the beach to the north, or 10-minute walk to Caleb’s Pond, saltwater, to the west. Great for swimming, clamming, hiking, or fishing - yet still just 1 mile to the center of Dock Street in Edgartown where everything is within walking distance. The most convenient parking lot in Edgartown is Chappaquiddick! When you’re here, you are in the middle of everything, yet totally secluded at the end of a curving 300 foot driveway on a completely private 1.5 acres adjacent to a 10-acre nature preserve. The house is conveniently located a 10-minute walk to the nearest beach. You can use the “beach cart” with some beach chairs and sun umbrella and either walk or drive the 1/4 mile to the beach walking access from Chappaquiddick Road. There are 3 more easy beach access paths between this closest one and the Chappy Ferry landing. For fishing and surf for experienced swimmers, just go east on Chappaquiddick Road to Trustees of Reservations beach entrances.

Chappaquiddick is a unique, special vacation place. Where we are located is in a quiet, secluded neighborhood on a private road that is just 1 mile to the Chappy Ferry and the center of Edgartown. This 100% solar electric 2-story house with cathedral ceilinged great room, 4-bedrooms, and 2-baths has the unique advantage of being really close to Edgartown, and yet secluded and private on a 1.5 acre lot on Chappy. It is fully equipped with all the modern communication conveniences like WiFi, 50” flatscreen TV including Roku with streaming channels Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Peacock. There is an air conditioned 2nd floor great room as well as three air conditioned bedrooms. You just need to bring your sheets and towels. It's really close to the ocean, clamming, endless walking trails, and great bike riding on the quiet Chappy byways. This is a place you can unwind, relax, and recharge, and then go in to town for dinner, a movie or shopping in the many boutiques and stores. NO PETS. NO SMOKING. Children over three years of age are welcome.

If you haven't been to Chappaquiddick, you should come and see for yourself. If you know Chappy, you know what we are talking about. We work very hard to deliver a comfortable, great location for a family Vineyard vacation. TV with streaming on Chappy, high speed WiFi, induction range, lots of air conditioning (including Midea units in Great Room), beach cart to make it easy to get to the close water accesses, large outside raised decks to enjoy, all in a 2000 sq ft house. The biggest attraction is the great, convenient location. And, last but not at all least, we invite families with kids over 3 years old to our house where we bring our grandkids. Mostly they sleep in the house, and spend their vacation outdoors. Comfortable, without obsessing about designer furniture, which we don’t have. Nor do we charge for it in the rent.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Spacious common spaces, thoughful arrangement of rooms & amenities and well situated on Chappy Island for all major attractions. Secluded & surrounded by lush greenery - which does lead to increased insect activity & dampness, particularly on the ground floor. However, the host is very proactive in addressing both

You are right. Chappy in the rain is damp for sure. It is a Sunshine place. Thank you for using the dehumidifiers. We realized we didn’t put any instructions on them. Just put them on so people can keep them running. Thank you for your review.

Great spot on Chappy

The outside decks are great, and the beach really is a 10-15 min walk away. If you rent your self a bike you’ll be able to go wherever you like. Would definitely stay again.

Very rough property

The owners are super nice. All appliances worked but are low end. Tv and internet worked great. The upstairs living area is nice and pretty clean, although very mismatched furniture and decorations which I realize may not be important to all. The house looked clean, but due to its aging state, it did feel dingy. This review is only as a caution to others so your expectations are not too high. I’m assuming if you are used to paying this price per night, you will expect more. First, the house is very rough. It’s very secluded and nothing is available on Chappy Island. The house has a strong mildew smell downstairs. We found bugs everywhere including crawling on our beds. The bedding seems like it’s been around since the 80s as does all the bedroom furniture and decorations. Repairs that have been made are an eye sore. One last thing we wished we knew, every time you cross over on the Chappy ferry, you pay 15 for car and 1 passenger and 5 per every additional passenger for a round trip ticket. No beaches are within walking distance.

Cheap for a Reason

We knew it wouldn’t be the Ritz, but the house wreaked of mildew and mold the moment we opened the door. Because the bedrooms are in the basement; carpets, blankets, and mattresses were consistently damp. Turning on the window air conditioner units only condensed things and made it worse! In addition to the mold smell, they had plugged in Bell & Howell Ultrasonic Pest Repellers (mice?), there were bugs, and just a general disrepair of the house. Oh yes, almost forget to mention the run down car in the driveway filled with mouse poop. When my 1-year-old developed a hacking cough by our 2nd morning, we decided to move her pack n’ play to the loft area. Her cough remained for the week. We all experienced nasal congestion, sneezing, sinus headaches, and fatigue. We messaged the owner, who did immediately call, but gave us an “is what it is” explanation, there’s nothing that can be done about the humidity and moisture. He stated he wasn’t even sure why anyone would visit in July anyway due to the weather. He stated we had already gotten the place for cheaper than anywhere else on the Vineyard, so any kind of discount was out of the question. He would only refund the entirety, but our ferry home was booked for days later. We were stuck. We were forced to make the best of it. But we certainly learned our lesson! My best advice, spend a little more money somewhere else for comfort and peace of mind!

This is a 2-story house with no basement and just one step to enter the first floor. This week the humidity was over 90%, and it rained practically every day. When the guest texted their second day, we immediately called them. They described the damp conditions and asked what could we done. We told them exactly what we do. Close the windows, run the Midea air conditioners at a comfortable temp until the humidity drops. No more communication until this after stay review. We found the a/c on 64 degrees, high cool, and the house like a refrigerator. The strong odor of soiled diapers came from 3 unemptied wastebaskets. There is trash service with outside bin. The house has regular professional cleaning, and pest control by local companies. Our Island vehicle is 40 feet from the house in the far corner of the parking area. Because of this experience with this guest, we have reluctantly had to exclude under 3 years old even though we will continue to keep our costs lower so more families can enjoy the Vineyard. We have children, and grandchildren, and will continue to welcome families here 1/4 mile from the ocean, and Caleb’s Pond.
