Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:

Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks

Please leave all towels cleaned and stored where you found them. Leaving as little as possible for the washer/dryer is much appreciated as it is a lot for the cleaners in the time they have. Thanks!

Please close the umbrella on the outdoor dining table after each use. The umbrella can catch wind and cause the table to topple over and break.

Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

About the host

Host profile image

I grew up spending my summers on Martha's Vineyard and now split my time between the island and Nepal with my wife Sweta. I'm a stone carver and my work is exhibited throughout the property. In Nepal Sweta and I work with American students on semester study abroad programs as well as in humanitarian work.

Why they chose this property

We love the in town location and being able to walk into town for a coffee, dining, shopping or a swim at the town beach. The house has history and character but with new amenities (kitchen was recently remodeled). The house and yard are well maintained and will charm guests and visitors. The expansive backyard offers an "up island" spacious and secluded feel while only 2 blocks from downtown Vineyard Haven.

What makes this property unique

This historic house was built in 1905 by Captain George Eldridge who in 1875 first published the famous tide schedules still used by sailors today. Expansive yard with harbor views.
