Perfect weekend stay in the East Wing

The East Wing was a perfect place for my large group of friends to stay while in town for a wedding. The house had plenty of space and was in an ideal location. Platt was a great host and we felt welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay. Thank you!

A gorgeous home in a great spot!

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.

Great location, spacious property

This was a beautiful property in a prime location on the vineyard. The home is enormous, with lots of room for a group to enjoy. Communication with the owner was excellent, he was very informative throughout our stay.

Perfect Birthday weekend Retreat

No better place to sit on a gorgeous porch, sip wine, have honest convo and say good morning to passers-by (yes, even wine on some late mornings!). Lovely historic home. Warm in every way. So convenient to town, lighthouse and Harbor View. Hosts are great!

Great gathering place for large family

The house was beautiful and spacious. We loved having all ten of us in the same home, without feeling crowded. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for Thanksgiving. We will plan to stay here again!

Stunning

Beautiful property! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this charming historic house. The mothers were especially delighted, as they were able to check off their bucket list item of staying in a historic home. The updated bathrooms were a hit with everyone – the one with the waterfall shower was particularly popular. Thank you for hosting us; it truly felt like a home away from home after our busy days exploring Martha’s Vineyard.

Fun June week at Captain Morse House

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.

Porch Time

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 !

Great Historic Home.

The property is great. Location is great. Lots of rules for the house because it is an historic mansion. The water view from the East Wing is totally blocked by neighbors trees and bushes. So don’t select expecting a water view. The balconies with Street views are great for morning coffee and waving to friendly people walking by. Loved the free bikes onsite. Greatly enjoyed our stay. But no water view from inside the house or from balconies. The management is off site but very responsive.

Historic and comfortable house in the perfect location!

We stayed in the East wing of the house comfortably with 8 people. The house has nice beds and everyone is provided a plush robe to use during their stay. We felt right at home. We did a fair amount of cooking at the house and the kitchen is very well equipped with suitable pots of all sizes, dishes and top notch appliances. The house has amazing antiques and artwork throughout. We had use of nice bicycles and helmets and used the gas grill a few of the nights. The backyard is beautiful and private and has lounges and tables with umbrellas for al fresco dining. We enjoyed sitting on the upper and lower porches and looking out to the soothing water view. Five stars!

Jonathan stayed at the East Wing of the Captain Morse House and was a great guest. We enjoyed hosting him and his close friends. They travel annually to different locations and it was an honor having them select our house. Communication was excellent and the stay was easy and drama free.

Fantastic Trip All Around

Our week in the vineyard exceeded our expectations due in part to the fantastic location of the Captain Morse House in the center of Edgartown. Everything was in walking distance and the when we opted for porch sitting instead, it felt like we were at home. The rooms were well appointed and we even had a concierge visit when we arrived to assist with settling in and who came by almost daily to check in on our needs - we even had two bottles of wine ready to greet us! It was these extra comforts that made the stay exceed our expectations. Also, the backyard was huge and that’s something because in town center you just don’t see that kind of green space available for private use. We didn’t bring our pet this time, but understand that the rental is pet friendly which is also a rarity for this quality of a home. If we ever visit Edgartown again we would stay here without question. Thanks again!

Excellent location and history

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.

Heart of Edgartown

The Captain Morse house will not disappoint. We stayed in the lovely East Wing and enjoyed the exceptional detail in the preserved historic home. The owner and property manager were helpful and responsive, and anticipated our every need. The house is situated within walking distance of the best Edgartown has to offer, including the Chappy Ferry. If you are hesitant in renting a historic home, rest assured that you will find every comfort and amenity, including beautiful state-of-the-art kitchen and baths, comfortable beds and even a cozy study. The house is also fully equipped with WiFi for those who need to stay connected. If we could give this a six star review, we would.

Historic home in Edgartown

This property is a large former sea captain’s home located in the heart of historic Edgartown. It is beautifully maintained and has the best equipped kitchen I have ever experienced in a vacation rental. We were a group of 10 friends so we cooked and ate in most days as it was not easy to get such a large group into any of the local restaurants. We enjoyed sitting on the large upstairs and downstairs porches in the evenings after dinner. On cooler nights, we enjoyed the spacious living room. The house has a large, formal dining room that could accommodate our entire group for dinner and there are tables in the back yard which we used for bbq dinners and when we pâté lobsters, as these are too messy for the dining room. Whenever we had the slightest question or issue, these were promptly addressed. All in all, we had a great time and would highly recommend this house.
