Vineyard Haven in July

We had an incredible stay at the Captain’s House. The house had everything we needed and more! There was plenty of space for our two families with six children between us to spread out comfortably. The house was in a great location- less than a 5 minute walk to the center of Vineyard Haven. Everything we needed was provided- linens, towels, beach chairs, toys, bikes, etc. Adrian was an excellent host and very easy to contact. Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Adrian Smith

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.
