    Quaint little lighthouse, free quiet beach, beautiful boats pass by One of my favorite parts of Edgartown is the fact that you can walk around, get lost, and always end up finding a gem at the end of the road. There is a little sandy trail that leads you to this secluded quiet beach. You can swim, sit, read, find shells, and just watch the boats go by. My favorite time of the day to go is around 5pm. The sun is a bit cooler, and you can walk around this precious lighthouse. You'll pass by discarded sandcastles, see families wrapping up for the day, and other fellow explorers. You can go up inside of the lighthouse during the day until 6pm. I believe there is a small fee. It is a small lighthouse - 5 feet tall, and the light does not work. But it is still incredibly cute, and reminds you why you love New England so much :)

    Short walk to see the lighthouse. Quaint area to look at houses and beaches.

    Absolutely gorgeous and calm. Beautiful views :) only problem is there isn't much sand for the actual "beach" part.

    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

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!

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.

    Our first stay was July 2020-an unusual year b/c of COVID. Still we had a lovely time, location was…read morewonderful, unit was clean and big enough for 3 of us, plus felt homey. The unit was well stocked, everything was what we expected and more- easy to find. I can't say enough about centrally located it was to everything, we walked and biked from here to all. Great place for families or just as a getaway for 1!
