East Chop Harbor Front Apts

One of the best places to stay if you visit the Vineyard or can grab one for the winter. These are fully furnished apartments that rent by the week. (Two week maximum.)
The owner provides everything– kitchen equipment, coffee pot, lobster pots and in some cases, dish washers. You do need to bring your own linens. There’s cable TV and you can get free wireless through the town. The apartments are all a little different in terms of layout. Some have two bedrooms and some have one. They all overlook the Oak Bluffs harbor and come with a spacious balcony. You can easily walk to town and the biggest liquor store in OB is five minutes away if you need a few cold ones.
The owner is very concerned about cleanliness and the place is spotless. There’s a small outdoor space with benches and grills for cooking out.
It’s not all perfect. The walls are exceedingly thin so you can really hear lots of action from the neighbors. Snoring, kids whining, arguments, a little love making… you will hear it. The art work on the walls and the décor will not win any awards. And if you have a 2 bedroom apartment, you will find that the bathroom is off one of them, meaning you need to walk through that bedroom to get into the bathroom. Not convenient for some families or couples traveling together. In fact, it could be a real deal breaker.
None the less, it’s a super spot, close to the beach, with fantastic views. You’ll see the ferries come and go, the fishermen, and the sunrise. There are some spectacular birds here, including the osprey who nest in the pole right out the window. A nice place to consider for a family trip. Note that the location is incorrect on the map here. It is right on the water.
