I started fishing at the Vineyard in the fall during the early 70’s and fell in love with the Chilmark area, particularly the village of Menemsha. I subsequently started family vacations during the summer months. Eventually, my daughter and my son both married and blessed us with four grandchildren. Unfortunately, many times we did not have a location which could accommodate all of us. Mary and I were forced to spend part of the vacation with one family and the balance with the other. We then discovered Chocker’s Point. It comfortably accommodatesd ten of us. The house has a lot of character, there is adequate sleeping quarters, complete kitchen, great dinning area, and plenty of space if you want some private time. We enjoyed gathering around the conversation pit each evening. The lawn area is huge….great for ball games, racing, and flying kites. There are several areas on the large parcel of property for swimming, crabbing, fishing and kayaking. Our favorite was the sand bar on the channel leading into Quitsa Pond. Each morning, the four grandchildren would select a location. No need to load ten people and their gear to travel to a beach. In the event we all decided to return to the house, we simply left everything at the swimming area. I guess our experience can be summarized in one word….wonderful!! Already booked for 2012.
