This air conditioned 4-bedroom 2-bath house is located close, 1 mile from the Chappy Ferry, 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, yettotally 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.

    House is as advertised. Good open spaces, aging property, some moisture issues that bothered some of us more than others. Good location, very quiet

    Very quiet, listing description is exact, chappy ferry is a bit of a pain but not host issue just plan an extra 30 minutes. Beach is close and nice and you will be alone.

    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.

    A great spot. Could use a few updates and some bathroom fans but definitely priced right for the location. Chappy is such a great place!

    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!

    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.

    The house was nice. A little outdated but clean. The upstairs had a large living room, dining area and kitchen. The 4 bedrooms were downstairs.

    House is spacious , big enough for our group of 8 and a big dog. Need good cleaning ( lots of dead bugs and spider webs). Lower level needs TLS. Intense smell of mold in all bedrooms and lover bathroom. Great location! Very close to all restaurants ,bars and ice cream places in Edgartown. Just 2 miles to beautiful East Beach.
