    Spent memorial weekend in Martha's Vineyard and 1720 House was our choice of accommodation. This place was introduced in NY Times 36hrs and was the only option that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. They were very nice to bend their 3 day reservation rule and allowed us to stay for two days. We paid ~ $250/night including tax. Location is good, about a 5 minute walk from the dock along main street. However, I did see some B+B's with better locations once I arrived to the island. I guess this is why you have to be 'in the know'. We stayed in the Americana Room with a private bathroom. Bathroom door opens to the hall way and the lock did not work making us a bit nervous every time we had to use the bathroom. The room had one queen size bed and a side bed. The side bed was too lumpy and uncomfortable. Breakfast is included but meh.. it's just cereal or stale bread/bagel and a few pieces of fruit. Coffee and yogurt is also on the table but they are both the weak and flavorless kind. The cleaning staff was very nice but kinda pushy with the tip. Deliberately leaving two envelopes for tip in visible areas. All in all, it was ok because I got to experience a 'traditional american B+B' but I wouldn't go here again unless I'm in a pinch.

    Let's start with the positives: 1) Location. Short walk to downtown VH. Even though nothing happens in VH and you really want to be in Edgartown or Oak Bluffs, I can't hold that against 1720. +1 2) Price. The price was relatively low compared to other B and B's. +2 3) The breakfasts are exceptional. +2 Now with the concerns: 1) If you book on Travelocity call 1720 first and ask how much will be billed to your credit card and when. Very non transparent billing. -1 2) I recognize that running a business like this is a great deal of work and setting the price point and balancing with needs is difficult. However, when 4 days have gone by and no one has cleaned the bathroom, your room, or changed out your towels (even after saying that you would), something is not happening that should be, especially when there are only 5 rooms. -4 3) You hear every creak when people walk. While the charm is definitely there in terms of it being aged and quaint, some updating wouldn't hurt. -2 Overall rating -2

    Just got home from one week stay at the beautiful, historic 1720 house. We sat outside often to enjoy the serenely landscaped grounds. Accommodations very clean and cozy. Great shower, very comfortable bed, great room A/C. The staff was attentive, kind, Island knowledgeable , and professional. 5 minute walk from Main St shops and restaurants. 3 minute walk from public beach. The most stress free , relaxed vacation we have ever had. We are already looking forward to returning next summer for a longer stay. A special thank you to the owner Abby for her warmth and terrific dining recommendations

There were so many adorable details, I wish I had taken more photos. Inside, there's tea available all day, and free breakfast in the mornings. The spa is embedded right in the hotel, and when you're a guest using the amenities is seamless. You can easily get into an exercise class, like Zumba or yoga, or use the pool and the saunas- there's one with hot dry heat and another with steam. When you get up to your hotel room it feels more like you're in some kind of time capsule. They have kind of an exhibit of historical objects from the area. Then the room is kind of effortlessly elegant, in that unique New England-y way- just nice furniture, great materials in the bed sheets and whatnot, and some spiffy flair- like a luxurious tub with a huge tabletop for putting bubble bath, salts, spa essentials, maybe a bottle of wine?, and an outdoor terrace for having a light breakfast in the morning (put some fruit in your mini fridge, from the morning or from a market nearby). Five out of five experience.

    A group of friends and I visited this spa while on vacation last July. We figured it would be a fun…read moregirls' outing. Overall, I'd say that the experience was below average to average. The amenities were pretty basic and the facilities were dated. Perhaps the hotel side is nice, but the spa needs a bit of renovation. I don't plan on returning anytime soon.

Because…read morethere were three of us we stayed in the loft 2bd/2bath Edgartown room which was spacious yet cozy. We appreciated the thoughtful details around the room like the warm towel racks, the homemade oatmeal and coconut cookies, the bottle of wine that was left in the fridge (which we most certainly drank!). The property itself was well manicured and beautiful, and the homemade breakfast was to die for. We were given great suggestions for things to do as well which we took advantage of on our last day and we're so glad we did. On our last morning we let them know we were leaving early for the airport and they dropped off homemade strawberry scones which were the perfect on the go breakfast for our ferry ride back to Woods Hole. If you're looking to experience a clean and inviting place with 5 star hospitality, Charles and Charles is a must!

The owners are actually from LA so we connected about that, and they actually took us to the ferry on our last day as we went to Nantucket. A very special place, we also loved borrowing the bikes and riding all over the island. This place is perfect. The only tip I would have though is to bring earplugs because the beds are so comfortable you will hear snoring from your neighbours :)
