New General Store opens on Chappaquiddick

The Chappy Store

Chappy has just about everything you could ever want in an island off an island – sand, sun, and surf. Peace & quiet, good neighbors, a sweet community. But it was missing something (until a few weeks ago)…a great general store called The Chappy Store.

Patrie Grace and her daughters have changed all that. They’ve opened a general store that carries basic groceries with a whole food, organic presence. They’ve got homemade muffins, sandwiches, chipwiches (ice cream sandwiches) and drinks. And it’s not all food! The store also sells planters, wooden toys and sketch books and more. Dedicated to keeping it local, they’ll sell Morning Glory Farms just picked produce.

You can find The Chappy Store two miles from the On Time ferry on Chappaquiddick road. I asked Patrie to describe the store in her own words, “It’s just me and my girls…and a cute and cozy lil grocery store.”

Martha’s Vineyard Vacation Rental: Chappaquiddick Cottage

If there is a quintessential Martha’s Vineyard beach cottage, this is it. If you aren’t familiar with Chappaquiddick, it’s a small island off the eastern tip of the Vineyard and part of Edgartown – though the residents of ‘Chappy’ consider themselves to be their own little island and village. And, now on to the perks of this fantastic cottage:

  • Like so many Vineyard houses, the cedar shake shingles on this cottage become one with the sand, sun and air. As such, this cottage doesn’t disrupt then incredible views, it really becomes part of the scenery. With the windows open, and the breeze floating through, you get the feeling that you’re living right on the beach. And luckily, it’s only 300 feet away from your door!

  • Still – this cozy cottage doesn’t leave you with only the bare essentials. It boasts a beautiful, fully equipped and modern kitchen, beautiful living room, a master bedroom with a queen sized bed and a ‘dormer’ with two bunk beds.

  • Don’t forget about deck time! This Chappy cottage offers both a screened in porch so that you can enjoy the beach air without the sun and an open-air deck perfect for barbecues. And the views! Oh…the views. Water and sky as far as they eye can see around this charming slice of heaven!
