*Before describing our lovely home we want to make our renters feel that their vacation stay will a safe time. Chappaquiddick Island is 6 1/2 miles by 3 1/2 miles. There are only 200 homes on the Island. All homes are spaced nicely apart.
The Island has one general store, a small 9 hole golf course, a botanical garden and no other commercial undertakings. It is a quiet, clean island with miles of beaches and nature trials. a lighthouse, great fishing, clamming and kayaking. You couldn't find a safer or better place to vacation this summer. It is '"Paradise Island" just a 2 minute ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard's Edgartown center.



Location... Location... Location!!! This house has it all!!! Privately owned and managed, gracious and spotless contemporary home is a reverse designed home - popular on Martha's Vineyard for those special water-view homes. You will be on Chappy in a safe environment with wonderful fresh air, pure deep well water, clean open beaches---a safe escape from the busy world. Plus if you need to do business work or do school work, this can be done at the house using our high speed internet service-while sitting on the deck, seeing and listening to the ocean.

The bedrooms are on the first floor and the main living area (for maximum views) -kitchen, living room, dining room, half bath and den,/sun room are on the second floor.

Located on the tip of Chappaquiddick Island (Wasque Point), our ' Bayview' faces both the Atlantic Ocean and Katama Bay which separate Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick Island. Ocean views and wonderful south western bay views are our special- beautiful offering with spectacular colorful south-west sunsets. We abut much water!

Beautiful Home on Chappy

Our family spent a week at Cynthia's beautiful home on Chappy. The views are amazing and you can't help but relax from the moment you walk in the door. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. Cynthia was very helpful and responsive leading up to our stay and we can't wait to get back on her calendar in the future!

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful, tranquil spot

I spent 2+ weeks at this fabulous house in the fall. What a wonderful, relaxing experience. The view over Katama Bay is spectacular and changes every day an throughout the day. The the fabulous deck and comfortable deck furniture is the perfect place to watch the colors change, read a book, watch the birds over the marsh, or take a nap. The location is great for taking long walks on the beach or walking on the Trustee land or the lanes of Chappy. The property is very private and very quiet -- especially in the off season! The house is beautifully appointed, very comfortable (great mattress in Master bedroom!) and has anything you need for a short or extended stay. The owners were the best! They were great with communicating details and making arrangements. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Lally

Host profile image
Tom and Cynthia Lally
We designed and built this wonderful home. It is our dream home. Tom, my husband, owned an insurance agency. I, Cynthia, taught high school and college mathematics in the Hartford, Connecticut area. We now live on Marco Island in Florida during the winter and Old Lyme, Ct. during the summer when not on Chappy. We have 2 grown sons with their own special families and 5 grand children (4 girls and 1 boy). We personally manage this home and take pride in it. We do all our own renting, speaking with potential renters and getting to know their special needs and concerns. Each year new, exciting improvements are added to make our home a wonderful place to share with our great renters. In 2020 my husband of 59 years, Tom passed away. With the help of my son, I continue to manage and care for our forever dream home on Chappy.

Why they chose this property

We wanted something 'very special' and this home is 'very special'. The location is so fabulous! We watch sunsets each evening from either our great cable system deck or while eating dinner in our dining room. The setting is amazing! We border Katama Bay at it's tip which is parallel to the south beach of the Atlantic Ocean. It is just a short walk to the water. Plus being on Chappaquiddick Island is being on one of the world's most beautiful and incredible islands.

What makes this property unique

This home offers total privacy, peace and quiet escape. You will not find a more wonderful place to relax and enjoy Views... Views and more Views. Far from crowds.* Read our past renters' reviews and then decide if this home offers everything you want for your lovely vacation.
