Video of 100 Chappaquiddick Road | Edgartown (Chappaquiddick), Massachusetts
- With open and protected views to Edgartown Outer Harbor, private access to a beautiful sandy beach within a very short walk and close proximity to the ferry, this property provides easy access to and enjoyment of all beach and village amenities....this is truly an ideal location for those with an active lifestyle!
A quintessential summer cottage, of single story design, offers a simple and relaxed beach lifestyle
..originally built in the 1930's, the house has undergone both periodic additions and renovations that have created a somewhat pristine version of the original old cottage character, inviting a superbly comfortable and relaxed summer lifestyle.
The house has three wings that provide open, yet separate spaces for family and friends. The living room wing is on the northwest side of the house and has big windows to the view, a vaulted and beamed ceiling and a brick fireplace. This area is generously proportioned and so is actually two separate sitting areas on the west and east ends of the room with the center space providing a game table for adults and another for tots.
The kitchen wing is on the northeast side of the house, separate from the living wing but sufficiently open to it to draw the two spaces easily together when desired. This wing is also quite generous, with a long farm table that readily accommodates a big crowd from breakfast to dinner, a small sitting area grouped around the second fireplace and an efficient U-shaped kitchen downplayed to fit the cottage style of the house. Behind the kitchen is a mudroom/laundry, ideally designed to be accessed directly from the driveway so that all beach and sports gear get dropped here!
The bedroom wing is on the south side of the house and includes a master bedroom, a children's bunkroom that is so big on space it readily sleeps 6 plus allows enough space for another game table/play area! And there is a sleeping nook for a nanny or a teen requiring separate space. The main bath is in this wing and is so big on space that it would be easy to divide into two to provide a private master bath. There is also a guest bedroom and second bath separated from the family sleeping wing.
All of the living spaces enjoy the lovely views to Edgartown Outer Harbor and the Lighthouse, as does the patio that is accessible from either living room or kitchen wing.
A separate two bay garage provides ample storage for boating and beach gear, much needed as the Outer Harbor beach access is just across and down the street ...water front that is ideal for swimming and where a kayak or dingy can be stored for great recreation on the water.
There is over two acres of land, the majority of which is open and grassy...is excellent for yard games of all types. And the lot is of sufficient size to readily allow for renovation or expansion of the existing dwelling or the addition of a second structure.
There are very few properties offering all of these amenities that are available any where, at any time.

Tour Martha's Vineyard Edgartown, Massachusetts
Driving Edgartown Main Street, Martha's Vineyard
September 2018
Edgartown is a town located on Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 4,067 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Dukes County. Edgartown has the largest area in the entirety of Dukes County and Martha's Vineyard.
History:
In 1642, Rev. Thomas Mayhew, Jr. led a group of families to start a colony on the island after its purchase by his father Thomas Mayhew. Originally called Great Harbor, it was incorporated in 1671, and is one of the two original towns on Martha's Vineyard, along with Tisbury. The town's current name is in honor of Edgar, the young son of James II of England who died at the age of three in 1671.
The younger Mayhew began his work which led to his becoming the first church planting Protestant missionary after he settled in Edgartown. A Wampanoag Indian named Hiacoomes who lived nearby became his partner in founding the churches in the Indian communities.
Edgartown is well known as having been one of the primary ports for the whaling industry during the 1800s. Ships from all over the world would dock in its sheltered bay and captains would build grand mansions for their families with ornate top floor rooms called widow's walks, which overlooked the harbor. A myth developed that wives would watch for months from these tiny rooms, hoping to see the sails of ships that would bring their husbands home from the sea. There is little or no evidence that widow's walks were intended or regularly used for this purpose. They were frequently built around the chimney of the residence, thus creating an easy access route to the structure, allowing the residents of the home to pour sand down burning chimneys in the event of a chimney fire in the hopes of preventing the house from burning down.
As more economical alternatives became available the whaling industry began to decline. By the beginning of the 20th century, its influence on the tiny town which had made its fortunes through the industry, was ended. Today the town is more known for tourism, as well as the site of Chappaquiddick, where Ted Kennedy's infamous incident took place in 1969.
Tourism:
Edgartown was an old whaling port and is now a summer and tourist destination with a multitude of houses built by whaling captains and other prominent people of prior centuries. The growth of the population over the past 25 years has led to a period of intense renewal of these old houses. Water Street along the harbor is the location of many of these Captain's Homes which line both sides of the street. The town has also encouraged renovation of historical structures. As part of this effort, the Whaling Church, a large 18th century church, has been converted to a performing arts center and the adjacent Daniel Fisher House is now used for a variety of social functions. In addition to the architecture of the town, Edgartown is easily traversed on foot or bicycle, making it attractive to tourists.
Edgartown was used as the main shooting location for the town of Amity in Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster Jaws. Many landmarks and buildings in Edgartown that were filmed in the movie can still be seen today.
The Edgartown Light at the end of north Water Street defines the entrance to the Harbor. The harbor is large and entered through a modest sized channel on the North side of Edgartown. It opens into Katama Bay, created by a barrier beach that sometimes connects the south end of Chappaquiddick to the remainder of Edgartown, The barrier beach opened during a spring storm in 2007. This has led to a 3 knot current through Katama Bay and Edgartown Harbor. This protected body of water provides ample mooring for small and large boats. The opening of the harbor will accommodate large sailing and motorized boats, but will not accommodate large ships or yachts which may anchor outside the harbor.
Another feature is South Beach, a small part of the ocean beach that runs the entire southern length of the island from Edgartown to Aquinnah. It can be reached by driving or riding the bus south from Edgartown center for approximately 2.5 miles. South Beach is a crashing ocean beach. It is a major destination for tourists. Much of the beach in Edgartown is open to the public with ample parking available.

Martha's Vineyard Chappaquiddick Island Ferry
The Chappaquiddick Island Ferry Time Lapse September 2018
Chappaquiddick Island (Massachusett language: Noepetchepi-aquidenet; colloquially known as Chappy), a part of the town of Edgartown, Massachusetts, is a small peninsula and occasional island on the eastern end of Martha's Vineyard. Norton Point, a narrow barrier beach, connects Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick between Katama and Wasque (pronounced way-sqwee). Occasional breaches occur due to hurricanes and strong storms separating the islands for periods of time. Most recently, the two were separated for 8 years from 2007 to 2015.
Though both land forms have, over the course of history, mostly been connected to one another, Chappaquiddick is nevertheless referred to as an island.
Visitors come to the isolated island for beaches, cycling, hiking, nature tours and birding, and the MyToi Gardens, a small Japanese garden created amidst the native brush. Two fire trucks are stationed on the island from Edgartown. Chappaquiddick Road and Pocha Road, both paved, provide access to sandy, woodland roads, trails, and shorelines.
Chappaquiddick became internationally known following an incident in 1969, when U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy claimed to have accidentally driven his car off the island's Dike Bridge, fatally trapping his 28-year-old passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, inside the vehicle.
The name Chappaquiddick comes from a Native American word cheppiaquidne meaning separated island, so named because this island is separated from Martha's Vineyard by a narrow strait or gut.[4][5] The island has been historically spelled Chaubaqueduck or, alternatively, Chappaquidgick.[6]
The island was once mainly the home territory of the Chappaquiddick band of Wampanoag Indians, and remained exclusively theirs well into the nineteenth century.[7] They still have a reservation of about 100 acres (40 ha) (40 hectares) of brush land in the interior.
Early colonists settled Edgartown in 1642, and quickly proclaimed Chappaquiddick as village property. The first homes owned by people of exclusively European descent were built around 1750; these residents raised livestock and farmed the land.

Edgartown - Chappaquiddick On Time Ferry
Edgartown - Chappaquiddick On Time Ferry Martha's Vineyard
Martha's Vineyard (Wampanoag: Noepe, /mɑːr.ðəz.viːnjʊd/, often called just the Vineyard) is an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts that is known for being an affluent summer colony. It includes the smaller Chappaquiddick Island which is usually connected to the Vineyard, though storms and hurricanes have been known to separate the two. The last such separation of the islands was in 2007 and the two islands are again connected as of April 2, 2015.
It is the 58th largest island in the United States, with a land area of 100 square miles (260 km2), and the third largest on the East Coast of the United States, after Long Island and Mount Desert Island. The island constitutes the bulk of Dukes County, Massachusetts, which also includes the Elizabeth Islands and the island of Nomans Land.
The Vineyard was home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language developed on the island called Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL).
The 2010 census reported a year-round population of 16,535 residents, although the summer population can swell to more than 100,000 people. About 56% of the Vineyard's 14,621 homes are seasonally occupied.
Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and it is only accessible by boat and air. However, its year-round population has considerably increased since the 1960s. The island's year-round population increased about a third each decade from 1970 to 2000, for a total of 145% or about 3 to 4% per year (46%, 30%, and 29% in each respective decade). The population of the Vineyard was 14,901 in the 2000 Census and was estimated at 15,582 in 2004. (Dukes County was 14,987 in 2000 and 15,669 in 2004). Dukes County includes the six towns on Martha's Vineyard and Gosnold; it increased by more than 10 percent between 2000 and 2010, according to Census data released in 2011, gaining nearly 1,548 residents. The Island's population increased from 14,987 to 16,535.
A study by the Martha's Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60% higher than the national average, and housing prices are 96% higher.[7] A study of housing needs by the Commission found that the average weekly wage on Martha's Vineyard was 71% of the state average, the median home price was 54% above the state's and the median rent exceeded the state's by 17%.

Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts USA tour
Parking near the ferry in Falmouth, Massachusetts was $15 for the day. $20 round trip for the ferry. The van load was $225 for all of us and tip was additional for a 3 hour tour of all of the island. Ted Kennedy, Chappaquiddick Billy Joel's place, Oprah Winfrey's yacht, Norton Internet Security inventor's house, US President Ulysses S. Grant's haunts and house, the story of Barrack Obama wanting to sit drinking beer after beer costing taxpayers hundred of thousands in not millions for Secret Service and helicopter hovered for hours and traffic for all was blocked up around the July 4th holiday, the part of the island reclaimed by Native Americans, history of the island, and much more was part of the tour. Food and drinks were very reasonable, especially as you walk away from the car rental and ferry area.
I will consider going back and renting a Harley and touring the island that way next time.
More video and post on my blog, here:
The elite have their own little playground. The rich get richer. The rich don't want chains, corporate stores, fast food, GMO food, and other such filth inflicted on the general population. Food grown on the island is sold on the island in local grocery stores. Some resident spend more on a season's landscaping than the average American can save in a lifetime.
Heroin is a big problem on the island. According to the native who took us on the tour, heroin is the drug of choice. 100's of millions, if not billions of heroin and cocaine money is laundered with the big banks complete complicity. Bankers and global corporate operators don't go to jail, they get fines that are mere pennies to them.
The scenery is beautiful. The air was very nice. Soon, these type of towns will be off limits to the general public. The elite will still need service help, landscapers, and minions.
Video of 109 William Street | Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts (Martha's Vineyard)
- Premier Location, Historic District, Custom Renovation, Professionally Landscaped. If this is an adequate description, no need to continue. Historic William Street, tucked quietly behind the activity of Main Street and the Harbor, is an enclave of grand, elegant homes that create a neighborhood filled with architectural splendor. The restoration of this neighborhood is an on-going activity and this property is a perfect example of the commitment of residents to retain the charm and grandeur. The original portion was built in l850. The new wing and addition were part of the recent restoration. There are choices on William Street of homes that are large and grand with expansive yards, homes that are small and charming, homes that will require total restoration and then there is a property like 109 William Street that will satisfy that center road and ready to move in; the work has been done. The primary room in the house, the living room with fireplace remains it's grand size. A lovely screened porch was converted to a year round sun room and is exactly that, a sun room in the winter months and a garden room in the summer. The balance of the house was adjusted and arranged to provide more contemporary use. The large addition provided room for en suite bedrooms, office and laundry rooms.
