Quiet, Comfy Home in Heart of East Chop - walk to the beach!
Oak Bluffs, East Chop Vacation Rental - ID 35529

We had a wonderful time at this home in East Chop. It is large enough to accommodate our extended family - grandparents, parents, and grandkids.
Having the extra half bath and the outside shower were a real plus for us with young kids in the party.
We enjoyed the walk to East Chop lighthouse - just .5 mile. A fantastic way to get kids out of the house when there are other sleeping adults. Meeting some neighborhood dogs on their morning walks was another benefit. The 3-year-old was quite thrilled to get to pet and even walk a few dogs.
We had recently purchased a plug-in hybrid vehicle and were thrilled that we could charge the battery through an outlet in the garage.
Everything in the house was "as advertised" and in great working condition. The owner was very helpful with suggestions for things to do and small questions about the home.
We look forward to another visit.

We had a great stay at what felt like a much loved summer home. It has all the amenities, charm and idiosyncrasies of a home that's been in a family for a long time. The porch is a perfect outdoor gathering place for meals or for just relaxing. We used the yard for games and hung out in the hammock too! It's close enough to cycle or walk to the light house, the beach, downtown OB. The house could benefit from a few updates, but by the end of our stay we were able to overlook them. Tim was very responsive and it felt like we had made a new friend by the time we left. show more show less

We stayed at this mid-century modern house in early August, at the height of the tourist season, and it offered a serene, green and peaceful retreat close to all the busy fun in Oak Bluffs. Located a block from the East Chop drive, now closed to cars but a great place to walk, the house was an easy amble past the tennis club to a small pleasant beach by the harbor. The owner was a delight to work with , answered all of our questions promptly and accommodated our unusual scheduling needs so we could participate in a special event at the Tabernacle. The house was well-equipped with everything required for a great visit to the Vineyard: we found what we needed to cook clams, bake zucchini bread, and enjoy preparing other Island produce. Our group appreciated the availability of washer and dryer in the basement and eventually figured out the high-end dishwasher. We spent a lot of time on the shaded and well-lit covered porch ---a great place to relax and catch up on summer reading and even some writing,. Each couple had a pleasant, 2nd floor bedroom with comfortable sleeping and plenty of storage space. The two other bedrooms, one with bunk beds, seem like they would be fun for young ones, The downstairs is well furnished with comfortable older chairs and couches. There is plenty of good lighting and numerous places to plug in electronics and the older electrical system takes a little bit of getting used to. We also enjoyed the al fresco dining spot, the efficient gas grill, and a really great outdoors shower. The house has many family photos and other interesting things on the walls: all of this made us all feel like this was a well-loved home with great family history that felt familiar and nostalgic. Over the years we have stayed in a variety of Vineyard summer houses: unlike many this house has adequate ventilation and very little of the moldy feeling some rentals get. If you like the energy and diversity of Oak Bluffs but also want space, quiet and comfort, this house would be a great choice. show more show less
