About this property

Gracious Victorian On Chappy

Spectacular Victorian home with a gorgeous view overlooking Katama Bay to the Ocean beyond A great combination of original early 20th century features and modern conveniences. Situated on spacious but secluded grounds.
Seven bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths and an outside shower. House constructed in 1905 and includes original moldings, beams, doors, gas lamp fixtures, diamond windows and fireplaces (which we do not use for safety reasons), plus modern conveniences such as Direct TV and wireless Internet.
Walk to private beach. Close to miles of unspoiled island beaches and fishing spots. A great summer vacation escape for large or multiple families.

Beautiful Chappy home
The home was spacious with plenty of room for 13 people. The view of Ketama was wonderful to wake up to and end the day. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our time very much. Carolyn was very patient with all my questions and was wonderful to work with. We look forward to staying here again.

A TRUE GETAWAY
This is a true getaway. Not to be confused with a party house for sure. It is the type of place you go to relax, be lazy, enjoy the view, read a good book. Very quiet and peaceful. The house is over 100 years old and is truly charming from the creaky floors to the mysterious doorbells in some of the rooms. It is to be cherished and treated with care. We had twelve people with us and there was plenty of room for all. The owners were great, the house was clean and I would absolutely recommend it to people looking to unplug from the world. Make sure to rent bikes over in Edgartown as there are plenty of biking trails on the island. Also, get a ferry pass for the week and make sure to do your shopping before coming on the island. I would also strongly recommend the little farmer's market open on the weekends . The yogurt and cheese are amazing. We enjoyed our family time and will definitely be back for more.Thank you for sharing Harvey and Cindy!
