CHAPPAQUIDDICK MAY/JUNE/JULY! WATER VIEW, WALK TO BEACH, KAYAKS + FERRY TICKETS

Nestled on the beautiful tip of Chappaquiddick Island near Wasque Point, this private water-view retreat offers the perfect Martha’s Vineyard escape. Overlooking both the Atlantic Ocean and Katama Bay, the home is designed to maximize sweeping water views, stunning sunsets, fresh ocean breezes, and the peaceful natural beauty that makes “Chappy” so special.

Just a short walk to nearby bay and ocean beaches, the home combines privacy, comfort, and an unbeatable location only a quick ferry ride from Edgartown. Guests enjoy easy access to miles of conservation land, walking trails, fishing, kayaking, clamming, and some of the Vineyard’s most beautiful beaches.

The home’s reverse-design layout places the main living spaces on the second floor to fully capture the spectacular water views. Upstairs you’ll find a bright open-concept living area with cathedral ceilings, large picture windows, beautiful oak floors, multiple seating areas, a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, half bath, and a sunny solarium/TV room. Sliding glass doors open to the large private wraparound deck — the perfect place for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or watching the sunset over the water.

The home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and includes:
- Spacious primary suite with king bed, sitting area, TV, and private bath with jetted tub and shower
- Guest bedroom with queen bed and TV
Third bedroom with two twin beds and TV
- Solarium/den with queen sleeper sofa
- Two and a half bathrooms
- Outdoor enclosed hot/cold shower
- High-speed WiFi throughout the home

Outside, guests can enjoy the large yard, wraparound deck, commercial gas grill, picnic table, hammock, and private outdoor storage for beach gear and bikes.

Included for guest use:
- 2 kayaks with life preservers
- 2 mountain bikes
- Clamming equipment and Chappy clamming license
- Book, game, and video library

The home is located near the famous Wasque Reservation, known for spectacular beaches, surf fishing, nature trails, and over-sand vehicle access. Chappaquiddick itself is quiet, uncrowded, and wonderfully preserved, with only a small number of homes, a general store, golf course, and botanical garden — offering a peaceful island experience unlike anywhere else on Martha’s Vineyard.

Priority auto ferry reservations at desirable travel times are available for in-season renters (May through August). Guests may purchase these reserved ferry tickets directly from the owner for added convenience and easier access to Chappaquiddick during busy summer periods.

Whether you’re looking for beach days, kayaking adventures, fishing, sunsets, or simply a relaxing escape surrounded by nature and water views, this Chappaquiddick home offers an unforgettable Vineyard vacation experience.

Beautiful home on Chappy with everything we needed - and more - for a wonderfully relaxing, two-week vacation. Walk to the nearby beach, take the ferry into Edgartown for dinner or shopping, visit the beautiful Japanese garden on the island, and admire the incredible view and spectacular sunsets. Very comfortable, immaculately clean, well maintained home. We cooked most meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and sofas. We absolutely loved our stay! Thank you Cynthia, for sharing your lovely home with us.

Not a normal listing....

After the booking accepted we found out many things not included.... -Electric usage (in our case we are being told to pay $21 for 112 kwh of use over 3 days). -Sheets/towels (bring your own) -Garbage/recycle (pack it our yourself) -Toiletries (no soap/shampoo in showers) -Number of guests: Our booking for 6 was accepted, then owner wrote up contract with 3 guest limit even though booked for 6 and mentioned that up to 6 would be coming. Positives: The House was designed for its location/view and the path of the sun. The views from upstairs are great Other major negatives: 10am strict check out, with cleaner arriving to enforce it (no phone call or warning, just a rude email announcing to get out now) and $500 fines if miss, even though sign on fridge says 11am check out.

This rental was a very unpleasant rental. Since we rented to these folks we have spent hours dealing with problems caused by them not complying with the terms they agreed to before the rental period. We have been so lucky with all our past renters. We rent to good people who appreciate the care we put into providing them with a very special vacation home. These folks did not and are hostile. Please don’t consider this an acceptable review. Read what so many of our tenants have said following their wonderful visit to our property.

Ultimate Martha's Vineyard Vacation Rental

Our family of 4 (including two teenagers) had a perfectly wonderful time at Tom and Cynthia’s ocean-view home on Chappy. As the listing and other reviews say, this place really does have it all: beautiful views (and sunsets!) from the outdoor patio; kayaks for water fun; bicycles for exercise; a hammock for relaxing, and much more. The interior is extremely spacious, airy, and full of light. We wanted a relaxing week by the beach, away from the Martha’s Vineyard crowds, and this home delivered. There is a small beach by the pond near the house that is about a 5-min. walk. Wasque Beach on the ocean is a 5 min. drive. Perfect! Be aware that Chappy is accessible only by a 2-min. ferry from Edgartown ($25 RT for a family of 4). And it can occasionally get crowded—we had a 45-min. wait for the ferry one afternoon, so plan your off-island excursions carefully. Also, the house, like many on Chappy, is accessible via a sand/dirt road and there are no street lights, so make sure you arrive before sunset. If we could have stayed longer, we would have. Most highly recommended!

Disappointing

The house was fine but the location is problematic because the beach access was nonexistent. There was a small beach accessing the harbor. The solarium is a porch off the kitchen - not private in my opinion. Keep in mind you have to pay for the chappaquiddick ferry every time you cross. Since the beach access was washed out, that was going to mean a daily trip to find a beach on the main island. We had issues with the owner because she asked us to take pictures of anything broken and smudges on wall. When I sent the pictures, she told us she wanted us to leave the property. We were beyond insulted. We had to leave after one night- after taking 2 ferries and unpacking all of our stuff. Then we had to move to a different property at great expense and spent the entire first day of vacation arranging a new place to stay and arguing with vrbo and the owner. The owner sent us a partial refund which did not nearly cover the hardship we were put through. Vrbo kept the fees they charged us even though they said they would pay for new accommodations. The whole situation was absurd and we are never renting on this website again. It was the most inhospitable experience I have ever had on any trip - ever. We would have just gone home but we had promised our children a trip and did not want to disappoint. The owner asked me not to rate her but I don’t think vrbo works at all if renters are not honest. I would hate to think that another family experienced this because I remained quiet.

These folks were "Renter's from Hell" Prior to the discounted off season rate, they asked to have the fair weekly rate reduced claiming it was a special trip for their 14 year old daughter. I cut the rate to make their daughter have this special vacation. During the winter I had had a beautiful upscale kitchen installed. They were to be my first renters. Before arriving they sent me 76 emails with requests and questions. I answered every single one. The day they arrived they found fault with small insignificant things like a 1 inch scratch on a wall. By the end of the day, after hearing nothing but ridiculous complaints, I told them they could leave or stay. It was up to them but I didn't want to hear from them again. I knew the house was in perfect condition and their emails were very upsetting. I learned that they left after staying 1 night and therefore sent back every penny of their rental money. I don't think they are a family who should rent anyone's special home. They would not appreciate it.

Perfect getaway!

We had a wonderful time at Cynthia’s house- the views are incredible and location couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed our meals on the deck or inside looking out over the incredible water views, strolled down to the beach, explored, hiked, and played games in the sunroom. Would definitely come back here to stay!

Perfect Peaceful Getaway

Wow-what can I say. Cynthia's home is so exceptional. I scheduled a Fall mom and daughter trip last minute to treat my mom and get her away from stress. We have family history on the Vineyard and Chappaquiddick. Driving up to the home took our breath away. Just being able to sit on the deck, take in the view made our trip. We loved the short walk in the morning to the little beach close by - I will treasure those morning walks with coffee in hand with my mom for years to come. The house is spotless, and all the instructions were crystal clear. Cynthia is very kind, and I appreciate her opening up her home to my family. Thank you again for everything!

Island Escape

Cynthia is a wonderful host. The property, the location, and the views are magnificent. It was the perfect island escape for my family of four. The house is spotless, comfortable, well-appointed, and beautiful. I would return in a heartbeat. Chappaquiddick has some of the most breathtaking beaches I have seen in New England. The location is safe and serene. And it is really easy to take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard for shopping and dining.

Great private getaway spot on Chappy!

Beautiful views of Katama Bay and the ocean from the large 2nd floor living room and big deck. Wonderful private location just a short walk to a secluded beach on the bay. The owners provided a shellfish license which allowed us to gather fresh clams for dinner nearly every night. Owner was very thoughtful and responsive. Definitely recommended.

Very nice location on Chappy

The home is a very nice place to stay. The house is great in nice weather and a cozy place to hang out with your family if the weather is not perfect. A nice location to be away from the crowds but close enough for an easy trip into Edgartown. Close to nature trails and a nice beach walk. Near secluded and picturesque East Beach on Chappy. The view from the deck is the most beautiful I have ever seen.
