Wonderful stay! The house we comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was nice and quiet, yet not too far from groceries and town. The house was clean and well equipped. It was a lovely place to stay!

Captain Morse House

We loved our stay at Captain Morse House! The home is beautiful and the backyard is extensive. It’s in a great location and the leasing crew was helpful at each step. Highly recommend staying here!
The Captain Morse House is a great place to stay if you have a really large group. There is an abundance of bedrooms, bathrooms and places to sit and eat. We had 17 people and we there was plenty of space to accommodate more people. Having two kitchens was a tremendous help. There was even lots of outdoor space to hangout and grill. It was the best place to make our stay great. And, everyone on the vineyard knows the house by name!!
Incredible home and the best location in Edgartown! Plenty of space for my family members and we created beautiful memories talking and playing games on the porch, spending time at lighthouse beach, boating , shopping! Truly an amazing home and vacation! Great service and assistance with catering and dining suggestions!
We invited a group of old friends from all over the country for a family celebration. They loved the prime location in the historic district and the charming and spacious common areas and private bedrooms, but most of all our guests loved the instant pleasure of such a welcoming environment that encouraged gathering together, camaraderie, and new and renewed special friendships. We would not hesitate to rent again, and our guests mentioned at our family celebration in the House’s beautiful backyard that they were already thinking about hosting a similar event at the Capt. Morse House soon.
The property was nice with lots of charm. It was well maintained, convenient for shopping, eating, and all attractions. Platt was welcoming, responsive, and he made sure everything was right. It was another memorable vacation at the Vineyard.
Beautiful, clean, spacious with all the amenities you can think of. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We were very happy with our stay and the house! Had what we needed while being simple and not cluttered.
Thank you for letting us stay at your place!
The place was truly beautiful, lovely furnishings, patio and deck table settings, garden and yard. And very well outfitted - full kitchen, with all you need, also lots of charming and inviting features. And our host was such a lovely person who greeted us warmly and generously and answered all our questions. Would love to visit again!
Lovely spaces that felt home on vacation
This is a great house located in the perfect location. Perfect place to relax when not out & about. Everything from the deck, private yard, grill, spacious open concept area, & included amenities surpassed expectations. This home is an extremely comfortable home away from home option.
Smooth as silk.

A beautiful home in a wonderful area. My family of three generations had a great vacation and are hoping to return again. The home is well cared for and fully equipped, we enjoyed the lovely and private yard. We were able to park our car in driveway and used the bikes that are provided. Thanks to Erick for taking care of us.
We had a wonderful stay at the Captain Morse House. The location is absolutely fantastic—right in the heart of Edgartown and within easy walking distance of everything. What really makes the house special, though, is its incredible history and character. Staying in an authentic 1840s whaling captain’s home gave us a true sense of old Martha’s Vineyard that you simply can’t get from a typical hotel or rental.
We had a wonderful stay at the East Wing of the Captain Morse house. Location is perfect, right in downtown Edgartown within very easy walking distance to everything. House was lovely with plenty of room, comfortable beds, beautifully stocked kitchen, fantastic backyard as well as a lovely porch on N. Water St.
We have been visiting MV for 20+ years and are very familiar with the area. This house is perfectly situated! Having a parking space was key because we like to visit different areas of the island. We enjoyed our time at the house. Comfy beds! The only tiniest bit of constructive criticism would be to make beach towels more readily available to the East wing of the house. Apparently the beach towels were located in the other wing of the house. The other thing that made me anxious is that I noticed the soap dispenser for the dishwasher was seemingly broken so I was worried that they were going to think that we did it lol. I just hand washed! The kitchen was VERY nicely equipped, but you will have to bring your own cooking oil. Tru was a great rental and we plan on looking into this same exact house again - that’s how much we liked it.
Best location in town. Most elegant accommodations for sure. Well appointed individualized rooms. Back yard sitting area expansive and peaceful. Well supplied and amenitied. Short walk to best restaurants and beach. Amazing shelling at closest beach. Thank you for an excellent vacation. Your place made it so special.
We as a family all agree, the Captain Morse House is the place to be . The front porches welcome you to sit and stay for a while . life slows down a bit and you can relax and enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails . Abundant living space inside and out. Well equipped kitchen and barbecue areas, The outdoor shed is filled family fun activities from bikes to fishing gear. If you are considering renting this place i have three words for you. Go For it !

Beautiful old Captains House, owner was very quick to respond when needed. Great location with much to walk to and of course the Island is breathtaking!
My family and I had such a great time on Martha’s Vineyard while staying at the Captain Morse House! It’s in a great location. Walkable to great shops and restaurants in Edgartown. We enjoyed it so much and plan to come back!
Amazing location on one of the most beautiful streets in Edgartown. House has a lot of character and is well maintained. We enjoyed our stay with a large group.
Amazing time at Captain Morse House! Beautiful home, wonderful location, awesome kitchen and baths. Everyone loved it and want to return, renting out the entire house! Very responsive to our needs. Just wonderful. I would highly recommend staying here with your family and friends, as I certainly would. Thanks again Platt and Erick, for making our vacation wonderful!!
Fantastic location for everything in Edgartown. Plenty of space for large groups with comfortable living quarters. The home offers lots of items to make your visit better (bikes, beach chairs, etc). The 3 flights of steep stairs can be a challenge with overweight suitcases but manageable.
Fantastic rental literally 3 minute walk away from all our fave Edgartown restaurants. The kitchen was a standout, we have a celiac in our group so did a lot of home cooking, and the kitchen was pristine and very well equipped, if you need to cook seriously you can definitely do that here (even had my fave instant thermometer!)... The back yard was enormous for downtown Edgartown and full of lovely hydrangeas; we shared with some very nice neighbors from the other East wing of the house. Great shower pressure/ hot water in all the bathrooms also. Manager very responsive. We would love to be back with a bigger group (we were 4 adults and a pet) since the house can definitely accommodate! Thank you, Platt for a lovely stay.

Our stay couldn’t have been more perfect. We loved being walking distance to plenty of things and a short uber ride away from oak bluffs. The host was very responsive and the house came with everything you could imagine down to an air fryer which came in handy! The kids loved the big back yard equipped with hammocks and a grill. Netflix was already up and running so we even had a movie night. 10/10-would recommend.
This place is so charming and well designed. Sooooo much light and also lots of privacy but walkable. Erick was very kind and communicative as well.
Great location , close to Oak Bluffs town . Erick made the check in process nice and easy. Will def stay again next time on the island . Great value
We had a wonderful stay in Vineyard Haven and truly enjoyed the house and its location. The home was comfortable, spacious, and a great fit for our family. We especially appreciated being so close to everything in Vineyard Haven while still having a peaceful place to come back to at the end of the day. The house had everything we needed for a week on Martha’s Vineyard and made it easy for us to settle in, cook meals, relax, and enjoy time together. The location was also a great home base for exploring the rest of the island, including Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, and the beaches. Communication and check-in were smooth, and everything was as expected when we arrived. We made some great family memories during our stay and would absolutely consider staying here again on a future trip to the Vineyard. Highly recommended for families looking for a comfortable and convenient home base on Martha’s Vineyard!
Great stay and a beautiful home
We loved our stay here and Erick was amazing. We’ll be back we had an amazing time!
Outermost House

This home was truly a blessing—a peaceful getaway in every way. The house itself is beautiful, and the surrounding water is just as lovely. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, and the beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. Tim was wonderful—so knowledgeable and kind, always willing to help us out. We especially loved spending our days down by the water, which made the whole experience feel extra special. We highly recommend this place and are already looking forward to coming back next year!
If you want solitude and gorgeous views from a great house, look no further. Hosts were super nice and thoughtful. Property is stunning. They're not kidding about the 4WD - you really do need it to travel the dirt road and loose sand to get to the house. But once you get there - wow.
We had a great time at the Outermost House! Wasn't beach weather but the view from all parts of the property are stellar from morning to gazing at the stars at night. The house was very clean, lots of room for everyone. Definitely well stocked with kitchen gear to beach games/water craft. You have to have 4WD to get there but its worth it...rent a jeep if you need to! You don't need to go to Menemsha for the sunset just enjoy from the property. Tim the caretaker was a great guy with lots of good tips. We had a blast and hope to go back soon.
We spent the holiday weekend at this special property located on its own spit of land on Chappiqudick. It has all the characteristics you looking for in a beach house. Lots a gathering spaces inside and out. The 360degree views are spectacular. EVERY room has a water view. You feel like you're on a land yacht. The kitchen / bathrooms are well equipped. The garage is full of beach activity equipment. There are kayaks and small boats just waiting to be used. Many memories were made over the weekend. We would definitely rent this property again.
Great property, secluded. Kitesurfing paradise. Can kitesurf in any wind direction with flat water. Accommodations are very nice and the support from the owners is superb, any issues and they are on it immediately. I highly recommend it.
We had such an amazing time! We loved every part of our visit there. Don’t forget you need 4WD and higher ground clearance to get to the property. We loved the sunfish and kayaks...the sunsets were gorgeous...the views were second to none. And the house was perfect too! It’s ruined us though - no other beach rental will ever be able to compete! Susan was responsive and helpful anytime we had a question!

Fantastic location where we could walk to everything. Fabulous views. You felt like you didn't even need to leave the house. Will definitely be back again
The house has a magnificent 180 degree view of the harbor and is in a perfect location to walk to all downtown Edgartown shops/restaurants and the lighthouse (Children’s beach). Very clean and luxurious Matouk bedding and towels. The lower level den could use more lighting, the room is basked in natural sunlight but dark after sunset. We stayed off season with just us as a couple, and another couple for a total of 4 on a few nights. House was comfy and spacious for us. Would stay again.
The house was perfectly located with an amazing view, neat and clean. Bed linens and towels were wonderful Matouk. My wife has poor eyesight and more lighting in the lower den and bedrooms would be an improvement and really the only item the property could use.

Perfect walk into town, lots of great restaurants near by and walkable to morning glory farm. Great bike and walking path outside the door as well as edgartown library. Beach is within 7 min drive - take the free shuttle
We had the best time in Edgartown. The house and garden were so clean and welcoming… the garden space was a bonus place to relax and have some family time. The house was so well equipped with everything you could possibly need
Edgartown Pool House on 20th
2 reviews
Everything was wonderful! Exceeded our expectations. Beautiful home. Kinda scary driving up to it, but once there it was a beautiful oasis.
Wonderful property to enjoy with family and friends… and our small dog. Incredible backyard (huge) with fire pit, seating, swing set, miniature golf, deck, lounge area, pool and well lit! Friendly and timely communication with the property managers/hosts. Perfectly located in Edgartown (along Bus Route 1) and easily accessible to OB, Downtown and Vineyard Haven. Even the neighbors were friendly! Enough parking to accommodate 3 cars. The home was clean and nicely furnished. WiFi was stable. The rooms were spaced out nicely. The second kitchen was a great surprise! As well as the massage chair in the basement. I’ve already made my inquiry to book for next year!

Perfection! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The views from the multiple porches made us never want to leave. Interiors were well appointed with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and everything else you could want on the Vineyard. We loved the walk ability of the location. Platt was great about checking in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and the caretaker was prompt in responding to any questions we had. Our family looks forward to staying in the amazing location again.
