About this property
In Town Historic Captain's house
An elegant historic Captain’s house 2 blocks to downtown, the ferry, town pier and beach, and restaurants. An expansive garden (double lot), patio, and outdoor dining make this property a refuge in the heart of Vineyard Haven. 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. On Main St, a short walk from the downtown, “Fairtide” sits on a double lot with expansive lawn and gardens. The kitchen was recently remodeled and the house is well kept and cared for. Original douglas fir floors, a piano, 65" TV, indoor and outdoor dining, outdoor shed and garage, zipline, bikes. Apartment included. Linens and everything needed for the beach (umbrellas, chairs, toys) are provided.

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