We had an amazing time at the Captain Morse House! All 14 people have contacted me, asking can we return next year, but rent the entire house out. Thanks again, Platt and Erick, for making our vacation awesome!

Wonderful

We very much enjoyed our time in the West Wing of the Morse house. It was perfectly located for both beach-going and exploring town. It was well appointed for relaxing in as well. It was clean and charming. We would definitely come back again and look forward to doing so. A great place to come with kids.

Family getaway

The East Wing was lovely, well equipped and in a perfect location. It was very comfortable for our family of 8. We had originally booked the West Wing but it did not work for our family. The bedroom configuration for the West Wing is a bit confusing so I would advise potential tenant to review it carefully.

Nostalgia at its best!

We had such a wonderful stay in the West Wing! From the initial communication, to the check in, during the stay and even after we were home, there just were no hiccups to speak of. The location could not be more central. We walked right across the street to the harbor and there are countless restaurants and boutique shops in every direction. We rented the Boston Whaler one afternoon and enjoyed cruising through the harbor. I highly suggest doing that! The West Wing itself is simple but more than adequate. Everything was very clean and well stocked. Martha’s Vineyard is such a special spot and our stay really captured that essence. Thanks for a great stay!

Relax and enjoy the quiet beauty of this home in the heart of Edgartown!

If you are looking for a lovely place to stay in Edgartown, where you can walk to shops, restaurants, spas, beaches and more, look no further. 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!
