About this property

Recently built, this spectacular 3 Bedroom carriage house is located on 3/4 acre estate on beautiful East Chop Drive. The interior is finished with top of the line decor, including a beautifully decorated living room, bedrooms, and open-living professional kitchen with granite counter tops and island. Other amenities include a dishwasher, trash compactor, air conditioner, ceiling fans in each room, walk-in shower, and large capacity washer and dryer in the garage below.

The Master Bedroom has 1 king bed, and the second bedroom has 1 queen bed. The pull out sofa is also queen size. All rooms have Smart TVs and Bluos sound systems to listen to your favorite music, and there are USB charging outlets throughout the house. Walnut hardwood flooring with oriental rugs.

The first level Queen Bedroom, walk in shower, air conditioning, smart TV, closet. Own entrance from driveway. No stairs to enter, just one step up.

The outdoor deck is furnished with Lloyd Flanders furniture and overlooks beautiful landscaped grounds. The home is just minutes to Jetty Beach and downtown Oak Bluffs where you will find many attractions, great restaurants and wonderful local shops. There is a private entrance to the Carriage House on West Ave.

We think the greatest asset of staying in our carriage house is the privacy and serenity. Sitting on the deck overlooking the beautiful grounds, taking in the fresh ocean air. The best part is walking out the door, through the landscaped yard and ending up on the ''Chop'' where you will take in the East Chop Light House and beautiful Nantucket Sound. Besides being located on East Chop Drive, you can easily walk to the local beach, downtown Oak Bluffs where you will find great restaurants like the Red Cat, The Chowder Company (which, by the way, has the best chowder ever), Lookout Tavern, Nancy's, Biscuits to name a few. Also, many boating excursions, fishing, pirate ship, ferry to Nantucket, the oldest carousell in the U.S., Mopeds and renting a car to cruise around the island. Fun shopping for clothes, tee shirts, beautiful island made items, etc. East Chop is the perfect spot for when you want to get away for relaxation and peaceful surroundings and only be minutes away from downtown from the hustle and bustle of downtown Oak Bluffs' nightlife; The Ritz is a must see where local musicians play 2x a night with no cover before 10:00.

Fabulous location

The perfect place to land and just the right amount of space. Lots of natural light and comfortable beds. Being along the East Chop bluffs was perfect for morning walks/runs down to the public beach for a swim! It was quiet. Elaine was just a text away and we had everything we needed. Walk to town for morning donuts, and easy driving distance to both OB (State Beach, restaurants, town) and VH (shopping, restaurants). We highly recommend this spot!

Perfect Carriage House

We had a great stay at the carriage house - I'm giving it 5 stars all around as that's as high a rating as I can give it. Elaine is a great host, the house is lovely and clean and perfectly equipped - kitchen, towels, sheets, furniture, etc. The location was great for our getaway. It is right across the street from the water and very quiet and serene.

Relaxing and great location

The carriage house is lovely in every way. It is very quiet, as advertised, and close to both Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs. My only disappointment was the deck as it was in the hot sun except for early morning and evening. A bigger, better umbrella or retractable awning would help a lot. Also, a small table to eat at either inside or on the deck for perfection.

Perfect in Every Way!

In addition to the Carriage House and its gardens being absolutely beautiful, it is clean and exceptionally well appointed with all high end furnishings and decor. Everything we needed was there, and the peaceful neighborhood and proximity to all our destinations while on the island was perfect. Elaine is a very gracious and helpful host. I highly recommend this gorgeous place to truly relax and hear the birds of East Chop as well as have the buoy bell in the distance lull you to sleep. We will be back!

The hosts were there to welcome us to their house, and explain everything. The house is amazing and modern, with no issues. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk to downtown Oak Bluffs. They were always quick to respond to our inquiries. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay in Martha’s

My wife and I had the best time at Elaine and Kevin’s property. We worked during the week from the cottage which was equipped with high speed internet. Then had the opportunity to explore the area in our downtime. We could not have enjoyed it more. It is perfect walking distance from town. Very close to Vineyard Haven which is full of interesting shops and restaurants. We enjoyed tennis at the club down the street and golf at Farm Neck. We could not have had a better time. Kevin and Elaine are phenomenal people and hosts. We hope to be back!!!

Short vacation stay

The Grassa's home was a beautiful, comfortable place to spend a short vacation. My family primarily traveled to MV for a college essay writing course so it was a relatively short vacation. However, we ended up relaxing instead of touring one of the days because the home was an ideal place to lounge. We enjoyed a day of reading and relaxation. I would definitely choose this property again.

A romantic twosome

Me and my wife had our wedding anniversary for a 4 nights at Elaine's Carriage House and it was exactly what we were looking for. The place is a high-quality quiet and comfortable haven in MV. Everything is very well thought through to a minute details. The kitchen is very nice and has all the appliances and kitchenware that you need. We felt very welcome and Elaine was very responsive and friendly. Would definitely like to come back again!

Slice of Heaven

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, it was a true pleasure to stay at this home. The property is close enough to walk to the downtown area , but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The gardens on the property were amazing and we loved watching the birds and the deer passing through. We spent nights on the deck and just looked up at the stars. 🌟 Our hosts were too kind and they went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. We would definitely go back!!!!

Beach Cottage Splendor

The six of us so enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, well-appointed beach cottage. My mother and mother-in-law particularly appreciated the thoughtfully well-equipped kitchen. We spent many happy meals inside and out, celebrating my husband's birthday on the lovely deck, surrounded by bird calls and the fresh sea air. My dad biked around 50 miles across the island in one day, thanks to the bikes made available during our stay. The cottage location is wonderful - situated directly across from the beautiful East Chop Lighthouse. A walk along the nearby road overlooking the sea as butterflies danced to and fro by the bluffs is a memory I will long savor. The hosts were highly responsive during our stay, available through messaging via VRBO as well as directly over the phone to help us enjoy the sound system throughout the cottage and deck. We will forever treasure our visit here.

Beautiful East Chop Carriage House

Wonderful two bedroom carriage house on a gorgeous East Chop property directly across from East Chop Lighthouse. The carriage house is beautifully appointed, with two spacious bedrooms and a well-equipped gourmet kitchen. Can accommodate two couples or a small family with no problems. The property is shared with a main house, with beautiful landscaping throughout the property. The carriage house has it's own separate driveway/parking area and a large deck off of the comfortable living room. All furnishings are newer and in excellent condition. The kitchen features all high-end appliances for preparing great meals and there is also a gas grill on the deck. The bathroom has a spa shower for post-beach cleanups. A full-size washer and dryer are available in the garage below the carriage house. Everything you could possibly need is provided in terms of kitchen items, linens, towels (including beach towels), beach chairs, even a pair of bikes. The owner was on-site the week we were there and she was super responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. Overall just a wonderful property for a relaxing Vineyard vacation. I would definitely stay there again!

This carriage house was a perfect spot for a mini-vacation. Conveniently located 5 min from the ferry with the possibility to walk or bike into town, well-equipped kitchen and grill, comfortable living room and deck and beautiful garden surrounding the carriage house.

Icing On The Cake

While we so looked forward to spending time on Martha’s Vineyard, we of course were nervous to select a place to stay which would enhance this stay. We really feel like our stay was the “icing on the cake”. We found an immaculate, cozy and comfortable experience at this property. It could not have been easier, or more enjoyable. Obviously a lot of thought went into designing this space and so many small touches from our hosts were very much appreciated. This is a real gem and we are happy to have found it.

About the host

Hosted by ELAINE GRASSA

We have been vacationing on Martha's Vineyard for over 25 years. We were blessed to have been able to purchase a beautiful piece of property on East Chop Drive, Oak Bluffs, nine years ago, doing a total renovation of the main house and then building a carriage house a year later. We are very protective of our properties as we have put our heart and soul into building and decorating our homes resulting in a spectacular main house and carriage house, in addition to our properties off island. This will be our forth year of renting and continue to welcome guests who will appreciate and enjoy the experience of staying in our beautiful carriage house, smelling the ocean air, walking the Chop and taking in how beautiful the island really is.

Why they chose this property

We would walk East Chop Drive with our daughter when visiting Oak Bluffs and always loved how beautiful it was. We were lucky to be able to buy this piece of property 9 years ago after it had been empty for10 years. One of the best decisions we ever made!

What makes this property unique

What is truly unique about our location is the serenity and quietness. The only thing you should hear are the beautiful birds chirping and at times the sound of the buoy bells ringing on a stormy night.
