China dishware decorated the built-in cubbies and beautiful vases adorned the fireplace mantels. The hard wood was still in immaculate condition despite the probable many parties the house has hosted. The house gives way to a beautiful lawn next door to the Old Whaling Church. We had a wonderful time being part of such a beautiful wedding, the house only added to the success and beauty of the party (just don't touch the piano!).

Maybe take a dip in the pool while being served lunch by the most outstanding waitstaff on the island. All this while overlooking the lighthouse, bobbing sailboats and magnificent gardens. If you must leave the property a golf cart will take you downtown. You can use the incredible on site concierge to make you a reservation anywhere. It's almost worth the $1,600 a night price tag. (X3 night minimum) Rooms are small and unimpressive, but both of these are easily forgiven after the greatest weekend ever. Have fun!

Edgartown is so quant and fun. This is right on Main Street and near all the shops and restaurants. It also has such a beautiful view of the boats and water. The room was clean and beds comfortable: The walls are thin and I could hear running and walking above my head. We also had a room on the Main Street and there is a loud bar outside our window that closed at 2:00 am. On Saturday night you can hear the people in line and music. Sunday morning they have early morning garbage trucks. I would stay here again due to location and views but perhaps stay on other side of hotel.

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!

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

I'll definitely be checking back in

Almost like the smell of a Westin Hotel when you walk in? Staff is super warm and also offered a complimentary cocktail when we walked in. The hotel almost acts as a compound.

I will give him credit too, because we encountered a lot of bad drivers and he kept his composure, when I probably wouldn't have. The tour is nice, but not something I can give 5 stars to. Nothing was necessarily wrong or bad about it, it just didn't quite pop with me. A lot of what is presented his classroom type stuff. Mileage may vary, but for me this was more a 'B' tour if we were using school grades.

They also tried to say I wasn't on their tour, so I am posting proof here that it was their tour I was on for sure, (assuming I can post a photo of their email when I get done with this part.) Here is the review: "Tour was just okay. We didn't stop at things people clearly wanted to stop at and there was a lot that no one cared about. The driver (my wife said his name was Richard) was anxious to get through the tour because there was so much to see in 3 hours... I'm like, okay then let's stop at the stuff people want to take pics of and blow off the rest of this crap. He also zoomed by and barely slowed down long enough to take a photo of something other than the back of the hand of the person sitting in front of you... the hand that was still there because they didn't have time to take a pic either. The driver also talked about Obama and Clinton the ENTIRE tour. I lost count at 8 stories. (This is not an exaggeration.) (Owner denied this could be true... ask anyone else who was on this tour... and I'm sure he uses these stories consistently.) I'm not a staunch anti-dem, but this was simply ridiculous. If Obama ever comes to a sudden stop this guy's head will end up mid-colon or so. Surgery might be necessary. Anyway, I would try a different one if I were you. Tries to pack in too much." (Owner also said they never wanted me to book with them again... lol, pretty sure I wasn't going to?)
