If you are looking for a lovely place to stay in Edgartown, where you can walk to shops,…read morerestaurants, spas, beaches and more, look no further. The Captain Morse House is situated in the ideal location. After a great night's sleep in one of the numerous cozy and quiet bedrooms, wake up and walk to the beach, or to Behind the Bookstore for a perfect cup of coffee. The house has so many convenient amenities, including bicycles and beach gear to use for your day's adventure. If you are looking to just chill in the beautifully landscaped yard and read, or enjoy a nice meal on the BBQ, this property is great for that too. The owner, Platt, and caretaker, Timothy, were both wonderful. The whole rental process is very well organized, not a detail is left out in house manual, and communication with a Platt and Tim is easy and prompt. My family and I had a lovely time staying in the West Wing and would definitely rent again and recommend to others. Maybe we'll try the East Wing next time in order to enjoy those great porches!

My family and I go to the vineyard every winter, and it's always a great time. We usually stay at…read morehotels but we really wanted to be together this time. We found the Captain Morse house and I could not be more thankful! Our weekend was everything we'd thought it would be and more. This house extremely homey and comfortable! We never wanted to leave! There were great paths for our annual night walk (yes, we walk in winter ) we were in walking distance to some amazing coffee shops and diners, and the kids had a ball during our dance party with all the cousins, aunts, and uncles! Above all I have to say, the management was the best part! You can stay at a place that has everything you need and more, but if the people running it aren't accommodating or lack communication, you'd never want to go there again! This team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and we were comfortable! They responded to a late night request as well which was very impressive! Safe to say.... We will be back next February! Thank you so much!!! The Crafts Family

This tour of Martha's Vineyard is amazing. In about three hours, we got an interesting glimpses and…read moreexperiences on the island. Our tour guide, Stan, gave an interesting & informative presentation of the island's history and qualities. He's lived on the island from childhood & brings many personal insights of the island and its inhabitants. Stan's the Man! Dee-Dee of HomeGrown Tours was superbly helpful when she contacted us about a need to reschedule our tour for earlier in the day. She asked how we were getting to the island and shared a much better way to get to Oak Bluffs. Very glad she went the extra effort to make our trip more enjoyable. Among the stops on the tour were Menemsha where we enjoyed seafood soup samples & had seafood sandwiches from Menemsha Fish Market. The stop at Aqinnah (Gay Head) Cliffs was stunning with the views of the ocean, beaches below, multicoloured cliffs, and a lighthouse. Another memorable stop was at Orange Peel Bakery. Oh, what trip on Martha's Vineyard wouldn't mention Jaws filming sites. Stan pointed out several of the key locations, including "the Jaws Bridge", providing back stories about the filming. I highly recommend HomeGrown Tours.

I made a few phone calls and Deedee arranged to meet us for an afternoon tour. She is a very enthusiastic MV host. We got a fun tour of things you would expect and some you would not. The narration, history and stories of local life were non-stop. We had a great time. She really is a pleasure to work with and saved the day for us. Give Deedee a call if you are planning a trip to MVI.

Lifeline to the Islands [Martha's Vineyard MA]…read more Oak Bluffs was the last town we visited and we took the ferry here back to Woods Hole. Steamship Authority also manages the off-site parking lots located in Falmouth and Cataumet... this makes parking convenient and easy for Martha's Vineyard visitors and travelers. We parked at the Thomas B. Landers parking lot in Falmouth. Shuttle service was free. The ferry we boarded from Oak Bluffs was different from the ferry we boarded from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven. This ferry was much larger and it had a full-size snack bar (versus a vending machine). There were plenty of seating and travelers can sit on the deck outside or indoors. It got too windy for me so we chose to sit inside. Clean inside. There were staff members on board that keep the ferry boat clean. No complaints. Pleasant experience. Review #3033

The staff was also kind enough to gift us with a nice bottle of wine in our room, as we were there celebrating an anniversary.

TLDR: Don't pay upfront if you book this company!…read more I had booked the All Star Tour company for a private bachelorette tour on May 17, 2025. Not only were we left stranded at the ferry stop for hours due to a "van issue," but the backup tour companies that were allegedly sent over never showed. My group of 9 girls was left to fend for ourselves - we ended up finding a very nice taxi driver with a van to take up around instead. I had paid the full price of $450 upfront on Venmo, and afterwards the owner Jeffrey C. refused to issue a refund, even after weeks of texting. I would absolutely not recommend this company.

BUT the backup company he promised to send didn't show and we were left stranded at the ferry dock and had to pay for a second tour. Now he won't refund my money and has stopped responding. Martha's Vineyard was beautiful and the people were great but DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY. I have found others who have been ripped off this month alone. I would give zero stars if that was an option. I want my money back, money that I saved a year for to celebrate my mom's 81st birthday. Im hoping honest reviews, a police report, a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, BBB and the MA Attorney General will do the trick.

When we first arrived we were greeted by a salty sailor type guy who grumbled "it's not running today. Hasn't been running all day..." then rattled off a confusing list of options as if it was our problem, and "go to the ticket booth". We went to the ticket booth where the guy - who clearly hates tourists - rattled off options, each one with an attitude like it was just our problem and we had to know the area and options and if we didn't we were just stupid. "well you could take the freighter... well you could try that other boat over there... well..." We asked, "any idea when it could be back running again"? "nope." 2 stars because they gave us a free ride back. But even that wasn't clear. Return boat was canceled. Went to ticket building before the return trip... got another ticket person who was very unclear. "We can't give refunds here." (WTH, this is a large ticket building, not just a booth and they can't rectify there?!). Now we knew about the freighter and passenger "slow boats" (2 hours instead of 1) and were lower cost so we were just looking for the difference refunded. "can't do that here". then "just hop on, and it will be free back, then go to the ticket counter and talk to them". Of course when we got back nothing was open. So we got online the next morning. Managed to get a full refund so the return ride was free. Turned out ok. Slow boats took 2 hours off our day but whole trip ended up costing 1/4 of what it would have it the boat was working.
