Historic East Chop Beach House - 300 ft to Jetty Beach
East Chop-Oak Bluffs Vacation Rental - ID 14646

My group of ten booked this vacation property for the week of August 17-24, 2025. Downstairs and outside areas are spacious and have the charm of an older home. Upstairs is a complete nightmare! The mattresses are old and lethal! The bunk bed room, the double queen room, and the turret room mattresses feel like cardboard! In addition the staircase that leads up to the turret room is so narrow, you can't even carry luggage up the stairs! The queen bed mattresses ranged from brick backs to a sack of cloth! It was so bad, 4 of our group of ten only stayed for two nights, then stayed with other friends on the island so they could get a decent night's sleep! To add insult to injury, my group was accused of damaging a kitchen bench! We never even pulled the table out to sit on the back bench as there was ample seating at the center island counter and the single chairs around the table since there were technically only six of our group of ten who actually stayed at the house. As a result of that accusation, the owner threatened to deduct money from our deposit in order to replace the bench! After disputing the claim, and informing the owner of our intent to write reviews, she returned our deposit in order to avoid any ongoing discourse.
Overall, for the money, shop around and ask about the age and condition of the mattresses. Pictures alone can be deceiving! You can find a nicer house with more comfortable sleeping accommodations. As a matter of fact, a brand new house is being built right next door! It's huge and looks like it will be ready by summer 2026! show more show less

I have had the pleasure of staying at this special home a handful of times over the years, and each visit the home and grounds have been worked on and improved and my stay is even more comfortable! My favorite feature is the outdoor shower. My now husband and I stayed here the night of our engagement. It will always hold a special place in my heart. I love the history of the home. The location is walking distance to the "downtown" area, and also makes a great walk to a light house if you take a left instead of a right on the main road! The large open kitchen is inviting for family and friends to gather around for snacks and drinks. The large porch is mostly shaded and has plenty of seating. I have only stayed with small group but this home would be ideal for a large family vacation with lots of kids! The owners of the home are so kind and helpful and attentive to detail. They are a pleasure to work with, and I cannot wait to come visit again in October! show more show less

Our family had the pleasure of renting this home for a week and absolutely loved it. We have been renting in MV for over 30 years and this is one of the best houses we have rented. The house is tucked away in East Chop but is walking distance to Jetty Beach, the East Chop walking path and OB. At the house there is plenty of porch and lawn space. It is perfect for young kids as there is plenty of space for them to play outside without worrying about traffic.

The house itself is so clean and uncluttered with plenty of space to spread out. The décor is lovely and while it is a historic home, the amenities are up to date. We were grateful for the air conditioning!

Kendra was great to work with as well. She was responsive and the directions were clear and concise. We will definitely be coming back!! show more show less

We had a group of 16 family members of very mixed ages- from age 3 to age 80, and this house was perfect. It is set back from the road so it is safe to let the kids run around, and there was plenty of space for everyone so that we didn't feel crowded.

The new outdoor shower in particular was a highlight of our stay, and we especially enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces, including using the grills and eating outside on the deck. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The A/C units worked well and we were all very comfortable despite the heat during our stay.

The only drawback of this house was that the walk to town did feel a bit long with tired toddlers, since we have typically stayed in one of the gingerbread cottages closer to Circuit Ave. That being said, we appreciated the privacy, amount of space, and peacefulness of this house and would definitely stay here again if we have another large group!

Kendra was also very responsive and helpful with questions. We even had a power outage during our stay and she reached out to ask if everything was okay before we had a chance to reach out to her. Highly recommend! show more show less

I have stayed at this home with my partner a handful of times over the last few years, and we have always enjoyed our time here. The house has undergone continuous upkeep and upgrades, which tells me the owners really care about this property. I love how convenient it is to the beach and "downtown" oak bluffs. Walking into Oak Bluffs from this rental is a very easy way to enjoy all the food and drinks the town has on offer. Working with Kendra on booking is always a pleasure, she is very responsive. I look forward to my next stay here. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay on East Chop. show more show less

I absolutely loved this home and my time on Martha's Vineyard! It is comfortable and private with lots of little nooks to sneak away to and a large private yard and deck. But most of all you can't beat the location. I enjoyed taking my coffee out in the mornings for a walk along the bluff to the lighthouse and to the local beach in the evenings. You also get a great view of sunset from the East Chop bluff (save yourself the crowds and drive time to Menemsha and walk the bluff for an incredible sunset view!). If I wanted a bit more excitement I could take the quick 10 minute walk into Oak Bluffs to grab food, shop, etc.

Unlike a lot of vacation homes that can feel a bit sterile you really feel that this is a private, well-loved, family home first. It is full of antiques and tastefully decorated. I have stayed here several times during shoulder seasons (mainly in May and September/October) and plan on coming back. Highly recommend! show more show less

Spent a week in this charming house in the best location in Oak Bluffs. The house was charming, full of antiques and very comfortable. It has a great kitchen to gather in, a deck to relax on and a pretty yard to enjoy. Very comfortable for a large group or family with space to spread out. We truly loved the location and being able to enjoy daily walks to town, area restaurants, the beach or the lighthouse. If you are looking for a place to stay be sure to check it out!

We love this house! It's the perfect place for our annual family vacations. Close to the beach and town and the house is adorable. We have a big family with a mix of kids and adults and we never feel cramped. The yard is perfect for everyone. We will rent every year!

Our family spent a week at this lovely house that provides an unusual degree of privacy yet proximity to the busy hubbub of Oak Bluffs. It was so comfortable to stay here -- the kitchen had everything we needed, and the deck provided enough chairs for all of us to soak up the sun, prepare meals, and eat outside. The beds were very comfortable, and the house was clean and well maintained. We loved the tasteful way it was furnished and the variety of spaces that were available to relax within the house.

A highlight of our vacation was our daily walk to the lighthouse just down the road. Our children loved going to the nearby beach, and we were happy that the market was nearby for last minute provisions. Our only complaint was that we had to leave and return to work! show more show less
