Martha’s Vineyard Vacation Rental: Chappaquiddick Upside Down

August 5, 2009 Leave a comment

In a place like Martha’s Vineyard, where the views are breathtaking and the sun beckons us out to play all day, I am a huge champion of the upside down house. If most indoor hours are spent in the common spaces – kitchen, living room, dining room – then doesn’t it make sense for them to be on the second floor, surrounded by windows out to the island? I think so!

This Chappaquiddick vacation rental is the ultimate reverse level post and beam contemporary house full of beautiful wood – floors, walls, ceilings and beams, of course, with built-in shelves everywhere you look.

Featuring 3 decks, a screened-in porch, patio, widows walk, and gorgeous waterviews from the second floor. But, don’t worry, you’ll be able to get your feet wet too. The house includes Katama Bay access right at end of the road. Additionally, a shared tennis court is included with the property rental.

‘Chappy’ is the island get away off the main island of Martha’s Vineyard. Accessible only by the small ‘On Time’ ferry that only holds a few cars at a time, this isolated retreat really lets you get away from it all. Stunning beaches and ocean to the horizon await…

New General Store opens on Chappaquiddick

June 25, 2009 1 Comment

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

June 22, 2009 Leave a comment

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!
