About this property

Pirate's Cove is a young, Victorian-style home, designer-decorated and nestled on a quiet lane in East Chop, located just minutes away from all the charm and activities Oak Bluffs has to offer. The beach, harbor, and town are all just a pleasant 15-18 minute walk away, or less than a 5 minute drive/bike ride.

NEW UPGRADES: The kitchen has been remodeled to included fresh cabinetry, gorgeous dark gray quartz countertops, and white subway tile backsplash. The first floor bathroom has also been remodeled top to bottom, to include new flooring, new vanity, and a white floor-to-ceiling tiled, zero-entry shower.

This air-conditioned home has a newly renovated eat-in-kitchen and separate dining room that can accommodate up to 9 guests. The living room is accented by a 40-inch Samsung SmartTV, and a charming beach stone fireplace.

Upstairs, the spacious master en suite features a warm blue color decor, 40-inch Samsung SmartTV, and a separate attached room that makes for a great office, sitting room, or nursery, and the bathroom features a mosaic-tiled shower.

The two upstairs bedrooms each have two twin beds, including one with a trundle, and share the full hallway bathroom. The twin beds can also be converted into king beds.

Downstairs you will find a finished basement with a full bathroom, laundry room, 48-inch SmartTV, and an arcade machine – perfect for rainy day activities.

The front porch is equipped with rocking chairs perfect for a quiet afternoon reading or relaxing. Outside is a large deck, Weber gas grill, patio furniture, a backyard, and a hammock, which provides a great environment for cookouts and gathering with friends and family.

Good for families or a group of friends

The house itself was great for us. The basement was a little musty. It’s location is close to town, but I wish there was a direct way to walk into town without having to walk on a main road.

Exactly what we were looking for!

From the minute we booked his lovely home, Carrington was extremely communicative and helped ensure we had an informed and fun first visit on the island. His property is spacious and has enough room to accommodate groups of many different sizes and flavors. The property also has a surprisingly large back area with a functioning gas grill. The downstairs/basement also offered a fun arcade style video game setup which the kids loved as well as additional lounging and restroom options. Most importantly the property was very close to the main drag of Oak Bluff and we enjoyed our daily walks to Circuit for shopping and dining as well as to the Inkwell for our beach day. Overall had a great time and would not hesitate to stay again at Carrington’s property!

Oak Bluffs Oasis

What an incredible location! We were so excited to be just a short bike ride to OB for our 5th annual vineyard vacation. Carrington's house was perfect for us with spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. Our girls loved the outdoor shower, and the basement offered a fun play place. The porch out front was great for morning coffee and book reading. Carrington was very communicative and responsive, even helping us out on night one when my little one accidentally locked herself out of her bedroom. There was plenty of general house needs, like ample kitchen wares, beach towels, and beach chairs. We were incredibly happy with the accommodations, and will be back!

Long Weekend

House was just as described, with a very cute back porch that we relaxed on. We honestly didn't spend a ton of time on the house, more out and about enjoying the island. The only odd thing we found was the bathtub on the front porch, but other than that it was a very nice house and stay. Thank you!

Nice family/friends getaway in East Chop

Our family enjoyed spending time together, and with friends, at this nice home on MV in the East Chop area. When we weren’t traveling up island or to Edgartown, we very much enjoyed the short walk to Circuit and jetty beach, as well as quick drive to Vineyard haven. The owner was receptive to us for any of our needs before and during our stay. We had a lovely time!

Wedding Weekend

We stayed here for a family wedding. The location was perfect, a very quiet street in September, you can walk to Oak Bluffs or an easy bike ride. The owner was easy to communicate with, he sent me a welcome text the morning of check-in (first time an owner did that) and later that first day, we wanted to play corn-hole but couldn't find the bean bags. He suggested a locked closet and they were there. Very responsive and even at check-out I had a question and he responded within minutes. The house is tastefully decorated and has everything you would need. Would stay again if I had a big group, we had 5 adults.

Lovely stay in East Chop

We rented this home for a family vacation which included 7 adults and one infant. Everyone enjoyed the stay and was comfortable in the house. Carrington (the owner) is very responsive to any needs you have prior to the trip and during. The extras included in the house were nice to have access to, like kids toys, washer/dryer, beach chairs and umbrella, kitchen tools, etc. The deck in the back was a great gathering spot for our family and we enjoyed the gas fire pit at night. I would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful home in the heart of everything MV has to offer

What a fantastic week my family and I had at Pirate's Cove! This house is spacious, immaculately clean, and in a wonderful location with easy access to everything. We rode bikes to the beach, into town, and enjoyed the patio, games, and relaxing front porch on this beautiful Victorian. Carrington was a dream to work with and communicated with us every step of the way. He even had extra pillows and blankets delivered right to our door. Five-star service at its best. We will be back and we highly recommend this property!

Spacious, great location - excellent spot for a family to vacation on the Vineyard

House location is situated very close to Oak Bluffs (about a 3 min. drive) & just a short drive to Vineyard Haven. Neighborhood was quiet & situated just a short distance off of one of the island’s main roads. House is spacious & easily accommodated our large group with its 4 bedrooms & expansive basement space. The 3 full bathrooms & the other with only the standalone tub was extremely convenient for a big group & helped avoid competing for showers after long days on the beach. The multiple dining areas, inside & out, made it a great spot to dine in & avoid having to go out for meals constantly with such a large group. Large back deck with grill for cooking out accommodated our group for multiple meals at home. Living room space, basement & back deck provided excellent areas for relaxing & watching TV. Front porch provided a nice quiet spot to hangout & the yard provided a decent space for children to play. The multiple AC units throughout the home are a nice convenience & given the average temperature during our stay was in the high 80’s to low 90’s, the AC was able to sufficiently keep the entire home quite comfortable. Would suggest guests bring extra towels as they were limited, however the onsite washer & dryer allowed us to be assured of having clean towels at all times. All in all is a great & highly recommended spot for large groups or families looking to take in all that the Vineyard has to offer in a comfortable, spacious & well located home on the island. We’ve been traveling to the Vineyard for 25 years & this was certainly one of the better homes we’ve had the opportunity to stay in.

Short walk to Oak Bluffs.

The property was nice, the owner was very accommodating, and we could walk to the shops and restaurants in Oak Bluffs. We came for a wedding and found the house worked well for the seven of us who shared it. It would have worked well for one more couple since there was a sofa bed in the basement that we did not even need. All we needed to do was pick up personal items and food for our stay, and that was all available in a 5 minute drive from the house.

Very comfortable and efficient house

Very good property. The layout was completely amenable to the 9 of us. Master bedroom was really nice with a small office and a nice bathroom. Other rooms were comfortable and sizable enough for 2 each. Yard was decent for some bocce and cornhole but not big enough for our badminton net. Gas grill was on its last legs but worked overall. Full bath on main floor is a tub with no shower, but there are 4 other showers including the outdoor shower. Carrington reaches out before our stay, as well as after some bad weather that hit the cape and islands. Overall, we were really satisfied - had great meals, great cocktails, great sleep, and easy access to OB, East Chop, and VH. We would all happily return.

perfect getaway

The house was perfect. We had a big group so used all 5 bedrooms including the basement pull out sofa and the fact that there were 4 bathrooms made it all so easy for such a big group to be living together. The outdoor patio in the back was perfect for all meals and just hanging around and the outdoor shower was a good size and very convenient to use. The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet but was also only a 10 minute walk to the waterfront and oak bluffs. Carrington the manager was really helpful and easy to work with and always responded to our many emails promptly and was always friendly and courteous. We loved the house and will be back next year.

About the host

Hosted by Carrington

Myself and two college friends purchased this home and started a vacation rental home company called Getaway Society.

I know how important vacations are, so as a Vrbo host and as a customer service-oriented person by nature, I always try to ensure guests have an amazingly memorable experience, when they are able to travel.

I have been to eleven countries so far (DR, Jamaica, Indonesia, England, France, Germany, Singapore, Barbados, Italy, Belize, Costa Rica) and can't wait to add to the list. My interests are reading, exercising, investing, public speaking, mentoring, making a difference in the world, and real estate.

My life mottos are "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." by Mahatma Ghandi and "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Why they chose this property

Martha's Vineyard is truly a special place. It was love at first sight when we saw this house in August of 2014. We closed December 1st and spent the following spring investing heavily in upgrades and improvements. We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to share our home with others, to make their Vineyard vacation amazingly memorable.

What makes this property unique

We love the versatility of this home. It's spacious enough for an extended family, a large group, or even two small families. Entertaining areas include the living room, dining room, patio, and full finished basement. The four full bathrooms also make it easy for everyone to get ready at the same time. It's close to everything, but still allows for a quiet escape.
