    Watermelon crush and a Transfusion
    Michele C.

    Beautiful hotel on an incredible tip of Martha's Vineyard.... Edgartown. Shout out to Vuk, the bartender in the Clubhouse bar, for the tastiest drinks: watermelon crush and a transfusion; which we sipped while rocking on the front porch staring out at the Edgartown Lighthouse. Thank you for the good conversation as well.

    Amazing view from the room.

    Amazing hotel, and fabulous staff. Had a weekend getaway with the family at this beautiful historic hotel and absolutely loved it. The food at the restaurant downstairs was delicious, the staff at the front desk, valet, and turn down service were excellent. Our waitress at the restaurant knew when to hang back and went to approach the table and was so pleasant. The views from both rooms were absolutely amazing! Looking forward to going back in the future!

    If I could give it more stars I would. This is a Resort that stands alone. B4 my wife and I could open the front doors,there were 2 staff members each opening the doors as if we were royalty and thanking us for coming out in such terrible weather to stay here at this resort. I knew then and there that this establishment and its staff take pride in where they work and their job. We were checked in with such professionalism,I must say some of these chain hotels on the mainland can take some pointers from these people. After checking in the woman who checked us in Hannah said I'll show you to your room in the Roxanna area (this room is not in the main building but adjacent to the swimming pool and outside dining area. Then as my wife and I were about to roll our small weekend rollaway suitcases the woman insisted on taking my wife's suitcase and when my wife said she had it she said " oh girl I got you, my wife laughed and they walked off like besties, mind you as the hubby I bought up the rear. When we arrived at our room it was immaculately cleaned not anything we could find to complain about. Later this evening we went to the dining area for dinner but they were booked up, but they were willing to seat us at the bar ,we declined due to the crowd. But it is a very elegant restaurant which we may try another evening. We went to check the weather outside and met Staff member Steve from friendly and after speaking with him found out we grew up in the same neighborhood in Manhattan small world. All this day 1 of a mini getaway. Oh they also knew we were celebrating our belated 42 wedding anniversary and had a bottle of chilled champagne waiting for us upon our arrival. NICE TOUCH & a very nice day 1

    The image shows a hotel room with a bed that has a floral upholstered headboard and white bedding, accented by a striped pillow. To the left, there is a blue armchair and a small round side table. Several lamps, including a white table lamp and a red bedside lamp, provide lighting. The room has patterned carpet, framed artwork on the walls, and a wooden dresser with a tray and electronic devices on top. The decor includes floral curtains and neutral-colored walls.

    We had an absolutely excellent stay at the Harbor View. We're leaving New England in a few months and took my birthday as an opportunity to visit some spots that will be much less convenient to get to after our move. Cue Martha's Vineyard. As a white upper-middle class person I somehow managed to grow up in the northeast and NOT make it to MV. Until now. Yes, I am a chain hotel bitch. No, there are zero chain hotels on the island. We expanded our horizons to perusing vrbo and airbnb but nothing was really grabbing us. I found another place in Oak Bluffs that looked cool but didn't offer parking. This place offered parking and was conveniently located in Edgartown and so won our business for our four night trip. We came over on the latest ferry of the day and therefore, arrived to the hotel on the later end, around 11pm. We were promptly greeted by concierge who was friendly and welcoming. We were checked into our room quickly and provided with the down and dirty deets of the hotel during our stay. Parking is free and pretty close by. At nighttime, we did struggle to find a parking spot but were always able to. Our visit at the end of April was off peak but the hotel still seemed full. I can't imagine what parking is like during peak summer months. The room was on the smaller side but we did ultimately have adequate room to maneuver freely, mostly thanks to a small walk in closet which housed our open suitcases during our stay. The furnishings were beautiful and the climate control worked perfectly. The bed was very comfortable, the linens and towels soft, and the shower spacious with great water pressure and a faucet that was easy enough to figure out. The TV was large and I LOVE that they have a guide channel. I'm not sure if I should share this with the world but I've spent way too much time in hotels trying to figure out what the fuck was on TV. There are a few bad things that I have to mention. First, the sleeping temperature was peculiar. The fabric of the sheets are such that when you first get into them, they feel frigid. They provide a very thin blanket, no big fluffy duvet in which to warm up and subsequently overheat. I was legitimately so fucking cold I had to spoon the fuck out of GF to obtain some body heat. When I eventually HAD to turn over, I couldn't get warm and HAD to turn up the thermostat. After a few hours of sleeping, the sheets become warm and then you're ROASTING which requires a further adjustment of the thermostat. Additionally, the walls are very thin and it's easy to hear other guests in the hall. There was no issue in the middle of the night because I guess nobody was naughty but if you plan to sleep in, good luck. The shades don't do a great job of keeping a significant amount of light out in the morning. The service was spectacular. Everyone we interacted with was extraordinarily friendly and warm. Our room was pristine upon our arrival and cleaned to perfection daily. Location is PERFECT. Many restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance. Views from the hallway and some of the rooms are absolutely gorgeous of the water and Edgartown Harbor Lighthouse literally across the street. I would absolutely stay here again on another visit to MV!

    View from the front door - The image shows a lighthouse situated on a distant shoreline, with a grassy area and some bushes in the foreground. The water appears calm, reflecting the sky above, which has scattered clouds and a soft pastel hue. There are a few people walking along a path near the shoreline, and the scene suggests a peaceful coastal setting.

    A beautiful property on Martha's Vineyard worth checking out. This was my first visit & it was super special. The rooms are spacious, clean and newly renovated. Everyone was very friendly & accommodating to us. The sunset views were perfection. The hotel overall reminded me of the White Elephant in Nantucket. Walking distance to town for restaurants & bars. The perfect summer weekend getaway!

    Edgartown excellence. Incredible grounds, amenities, service and stay. Mercedes Benz partner- you can request to be on the list to drive a complimentary car- great way to see the island and have excursions. Location is lovely, use complimentary bikes or walk 10min to Main Street. Restaurant is top tier, great for a night out or special occasion. Rooms are spacious and well kept. Real fireplace in suites. If you're wanting MV luxury, stay at Harbor View.

    A simple fix

    Pros: Quiet area Beautiful setting Elevator Good toiletries Fruit and water complimentary in the lobby Free parking (limited. First come first serve) Free WiFi ( worked 98% of the time) Beautiful porch with rocking chairs Heated pool Ice machine available Cons: Room old and weathered. Shower leaking Staff not friendly Pricy for what you're getting We had the opportunity to stay at another hotel on day one which was cheaper and overall better than this place and that is why I have given it a three star. I expected more. I think if the staff made us feel welcomed and cared about what was going on, it could have gotten a four. The hotel is a 10min walk from restaurants, stores and bars. We stayed in the main house. I can't vouch for the other rooms. First the good stuff: We were able to check in early. They did hold our bags while the room was being prepared for us. The lobby is beautiful and always has a fire in the fireplace going. They have water and fruits to snack on. The porch is perfect for afternoon tea or even to read a book. The area is pretty quiet, so can definitely have the peace you need. The rooms are big. The bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and a keurig. The bathroom was clean and had great toiletries. There's an iron and an ironing board. The closet is spacious enough. The Parking is free. Even though it was limited, we never found a problem finding a space. The not so good: Our room was on the second floor facing the parking lot. What threw us off is the little things that could be done to make it look presentable. The plate around the sprinkler was dangling. Same with the one around the vent. The door trims were either stained or cracked. The paint was peeling. The shower leaked all day and night. We did inform the front desk and it still leaked when we returned. The toilet lever must be held down for a prolonged period of time in order to flush. Staff never acknowledged us. One day it was pouring and we came in wet. At any other hotel, you would expect someone to ask if you need a towel or something, this didn't happen here even though there were at least 5 staff members around. For over $500 (depending on what deal you get) a night to stay at this hotel, I expected better rooms and customer service. I would say to look around prior to booking this hotel.

    Having never been to MV, I asked friends and did some research. The Harbor View came highly recommended, especially with the newly done updates. I booked a historic room with ocean view and linked up with concierge, Darlene. Darlene is amazing! From the minute I booked until we took the ferry back from the island, Darlene was there. She helped me arrange a surprise 40th birthday golf trip for my husband in which I had secretly taken lessons. She went above an beyond booking every detail. When we arrived she had arranged for a driving tour around the island that dropped us off at the hotel. Darlene was right there to welcome us when we arrived and wished my husband a happy birthday. The room was ready early, had a perfect view of the ocean (and sunrises), newly renovated and immaculate! Darlene arranged a dinner at the Terrace for us that was bar none the best dinner ever. She must have called before we arrived as they sat us early, drinks in hand and the chef was sending out a few special pre-dinner samplers. The next morning Darlene arranged 18h at Farm Neck Golf course along with a driver to get us there. We were early, they were already waiting for us and ready to go. We had an amazing time and ate lunch there. Back at the hotel we checked out the pool, so perfect! They had fresh pink/regular lemonade and ice water there; and, there were tons of towels and chairs. Absolutely breathtaking venue and the pool was perfectly cleaned! That night we grabbed an early dinner in which the hotel went up a little birthday treat before we headed out; and, then had drinks and dessert at the hotel out on the front porch. Darlene checked on us again as she had arranged another perfect tee time at the Minks Meadows 9H course, along with transportation. Again, the next morning was perfectly done with the ride being early, and Minks Meadows ready and waiting for us. Darlene/they had us back on the ferry and home with time to spare. The island is full of wonderful warm inviting people and phenomenal service. I wouldn't stay anywhere else and we plan on returning with our children. I would recommend calling and asking for Darlene ASAP as she makes the stay worth it, worry free with impeccable service and kindness.

Our family has stayed here many times over the years, but after this recent interaction, we won't be coming back. We booked a stay for next year, received a confirmation email, and had a deposit withdrawn from our account -- only to have the deposit refunded days later without any communication whatsoever. When I called to find out what happened, Julia told me there was a "website issue" and that we never should've been able to book because next year's rates haven't been set yet. This directly contradicted the confirmation email, which clearly stated our rate was locked in. When I asked if they could honor the confirmed rate -- a basic standard in most reputable businesses -- Julia became defensive and irate. She told me, verbatim, that if I thought she was a terrible business owner, I probably shouldn't stay there. She was rude, condescending, and completely dismissive. Julia may claim the business has "integrity" and a long history on the island, but it's clear the current management does not reflect those values. This place might have had a good reputation in the past, but it's absolutely not the same under her leadership. A hospitality business with no regard for basic courtesy or professionalism is one to steer clear of.

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

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!

Here is the review: "Tour was just okay. We didn't stop at things people clearly wanted to stop at and there was a lot that no one cared about. The driver (my wife said his name was Richard) was anxious to get through the tour because there was so much to see in 3 hours... I'm like, okay then let's stop at the stuff people want to take pics of and blow off the rest of this crap. He also zoomed by and barely slowed down long enough to take a photo of something other than the back of the hand of the person sitting in front of you... the hand that was still there because they didn't have time to take a pic either. The driver also talked about Obama and Clinton the ENTIRE tour. I lost count at 8 stories. (This is not an exaggeration.) (Owner denied this could be true... ask anyone else who was on this tour... and I'm sure he uses these stories consistently.) I'm not a staunch anti-dem, but this was simply ridiculous. If Obama ever comes to a sudden stop this guy's head will end up mid-colon or so. Surgery might be necessary. Anyway, I would try a different one if I were you. Tries to pack in too much." (Owner also said they never wanted me to book with them again... lol, pretty sure I wasn't going to?)
