662 Chappaquonsett Road, Vineyard Haven MA 02568

A quintessential Vineyard beach house of legendary fame, thus the name "The Swindle", offers an experience of serenity, solitude and beauty. Set among the dunes and surrounded by sculpted beach plums and ground hugging evergreen, this well cared for cottage features a snug interior offering expansive views of the North Shore with sandy beaches extending in both directions. Walls of windows invite the outside in with the ever changing light created by the sea and sky. The deck extending across the length of the house includes a dining porch, offering views to Nobska Light and the Elizabeth Islands. Entertaining or simply relaxing is done with ease in the open living and dining area. Painted floors, cathedral ceiling, built-in book cases, window seating and a fireplace add to the comfort of this area. The gourmet kitchen with breakfast area looks out upon Beach Plum Pond where one can moor their boat and tie up their dinghy at the dock at the edge of the pond. The west facing master suite includes a study, en suite bath, and fireplace. Guests enjoy their own wing with bath. A sturdy boardwalk leads the way through the beach roses to the sandy beach. Detached from the main house sits the "Swindle-ette", a studio/overflow space including the laundry and shower bath.  A generator provides peace of mind for those occasional power outages. Convenient to town yet miles from the hustle and bustle of the summer crowds. Perfection.
