Captain Morse House - Edgartown Village Living at its Finest
Edgartown Vacation Rental - ID 18084

My family and I stayed at Captain Morse House for Thanksgiving this year. We were 11 adults and 4 children (1--13). We had planned this trip for quite some time and were holding some very high expectations. The property and the manager exceeded them all. The house is extremely comfortable and well-appointed. The area was perfect for us -- walk to bars, restaurants, attractions. We prepared Thanksgiving dinner at the house and the kitchens (2) are incredibly equipped. We lacked nothing. Platt Johnson was super responsive to a number of questions we had both before and after our arrival. Overall, our stay was a treasure that we all will remember for the rest of our lives. CMH is the bomb!! show more show less

My husband and I rented this home for our closest friends and extended family members to stay during our wedding on the Vineyard this October. Although we are very familiar with the island, the vast majority of our guests had never been before, and the Captain Morse House offered a perfect location, very comfortable accommodations, and so much MV history for the group. The house is incredibly spacious and has numerous bathrooms and areas to spend time, while still offering plenty of space for groups looking to relax -- we had a rainy weekend and our guests loved solving puzzles in the living room and taking advantage of several of the DVDs provided as well. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and all guests said the rooms and beds were very comfortable. The location cannot be beat - a parking space is available but there is not a need for a car if you're looking to take advantage of all Edgartown has to offer.

We would highly recommend the property for anyone looking for a relaxing group stay in one of the most historic, well-maintained homes on the island. The owner was very responsive as well - the weekend was cooler than the previous week so we requested a temperature adjustment (it was controlled remotely). He immediately adjusted the thermostat for us and provided a quick text update as well. The house is a remarkable property and all of our guests left with very fond memories. show more show less

We stayed here for my wedding weekend and hosted our rehearsal dinner in the backyard. The house is incredible, well stocked with virtually all the amenities of a hotel and then some (everything from extra sheets, soap, shampoo, etc., to a leaf blower we used to prepare for our dinner outside. Only "downside" was that every friend and family member in town wanted a tour of the house! It oozes with charm and history. Everything we needed to know about the house beforehand was evident if you read the listing and view the photos. The owner was friendly and prompt with communication. We would definitely recommend the Captain Morse House to a friend. show more show less

Truly superb home with all the amenities and ideally located. It was a brief ten minute walk to fine dining and shops in Edgartown.

Staying in this elegant home was an experience in itself. It had all the finery and grandeur of a home of its significance but still felt warm and cozy for family gatherings.

Although the home is ideally suited for a family reunion with many adult couples and children in tow, my four sisters and our mother (who requires a wheel chair ) never felt lost in this grand home. Highly recommend! show more show less

We had a lovely family vacation in the house. We were a group of 16 and had plenty of room. The kids enjoyed the lawn and front porch. We all enjoyed having different family/living rooms to gather in or separate to. It was convenient to have 2 kitchens. The house was very well stocked with towels, cookware, dishes, beach chairs, etc. The bicycles were a great bonus, and one of our favorite activities was biking around. Excellent location. It was lovely to be able to stroll downtown for ice cream or fudge whenever we wanted. The owner was very accessible and accommodating prior to and during our stay. show more show less

This house is a grand example of the history of Edgartown. It's steps from great shopping and dining options.

Our week here was beautiful! Family and friends came together to share a relaxing week, and the house didn’t disappoint. Perfect for a large group! Our favorite time was meeting on the porch early for coffee, and later, for a nightly signature cocktail, always chatting with the passers-by, one of whom happened to be an old neighbor!

The convenient location allowed for nightly walks into town for exploring the shops, enjoying the restaurants, and indulging in nightly ice cream. With public transportation nearby, everyone was able to go their own way during the day to see all that Martha’s Vineyard offers.

We are already looking forward to a return trip!

We had a great time, nobody wanted to leave! Superb location for all things in Edgartown, walking or biking distance to most activities. The yard was great for kids and the property worked very well for large families like ours, who included 24 people. Every amenity was provided that one could hope for. Martha's Vineyard is a wonderful vacation destination. There are so many options for every type of interest. We happened to come during the 4th of July, and it was perfect. The parade went right past the house and we could all watch from the spacious front porch, and the fireworks were seen from the second story balcony. Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful home for our annual vacation. show more show less

We just finished 2 fantastic weeks at the Captain Morse home. This is the second year we have rented the home for our family vacation. The home is very well maintained, furnished and ready for guests. The home is large so other guests or visitors have plenty of room to move around without stepping on each other. The bikes are a great addition and make arrival so much easier. The owner and caretaker are very responsive and go out of their way to make sure your stay goes well. We highly recommend the Captain Morse home. show more show less

We spent a relaxing and memorable week at the Captain Morse House. The location is superb -- a few short blocks to the beach, harbor and Chappy Ferry. And the house is unique and very comfortable. We loved it.
