Property Details

A coastal Chappaquiddick retreat at Katama Bay offering beach access, shallow swimming waters, excellent clamming, open living with deck views, and proximity to Mytoi Japanese Garden and Wasque Reserve.

Experience the effortless beauty of Chappaquiddick from this completely renovated top-to-bottom coastal farmhouse cottage overlooking the sweeping waters at Katama Bay. Thoughtfully reimagined with all-new furnishings, elevated finishes, and a light, airy design aesthetic, this retreat blends timeless Vineyard charm with modern comfort for a truly special island escape.

The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is the heart of the home, inviting both relaxation and gathering. Expansive sliders open directly to the generous sun deck, where serene bay views provide a stunning backdrop for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or outdoor dining under the Vineyard sky. Crisp interiors are accented by natural textures and coastal details, creating spaces that feel both refined and welcoming.

Guests enjoy convenient access to a sandy, warm-water beach, known for its gently sloping entry and calm conditions, well-suited for families and relaxed swimming. The area is also celebrated for its outstanding clamming, offering a quintessential Vineyard experience just moments from the cottage. And, come back to the house to rinse off the sand and salt in the outdoor shower.

The home’s quiet bedrooms provide peaceful retreats after days spent exploring the island, while the refreshed layout allows for easy flow between indoor and outdoor living—perfect for laid-back summer rhythms or cozy fall stays.

Beyond the beach, the property’s location offers quick access to some of Chappaquiddick’s most beloved destinations, including the enchanting Mytoi Japanese Garden with its winding paths and tranquil ponds, and the wild, breathtaking beauty of the Wasque Reserve, famous for expansive ocean views, scenic trails, and spectacular fishing grounds.

This cottage is especially appealing for guests visiting during the Vineyard’s renowned Fishing Derby season in September and October, offering an ideal home base for competitors and their families seeking comfort, convenience, and a peaceful place to unwind after days on the water.

Set on legendary Chappaquiddick Island, reached by a short ferry ride from historic Edgartown, this home delivers rare privacy, unspoiled natural surroundings, and effortless access to the very best of Martha’s Vineyard living.

Whether you’re here to swim, clam, explore Mytoi, walk Wasque’s dramatic bluffs, or experience the excitement of Fishing Derby season, this beautifully renewed coastal cottage provides an unforgettable Chappy escape—at every time of year.
