About this property

1820 Whaling Captain's Home - New Kitchen!

Set in the historic section of Greenport village, the Captain’s House, built in 1820, is an elegant and charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath home ready to enjoy, especially for a summer getaway or a cozy holiday retreat. It's a 3 block walk into town and a short bike ride or drive to all the area beaches, wineries and treasure finding.

The Captain’s House is in the perfect location for those who’d like to leave the car at home and wander into town to visit shops, wine bars and restaurants. It's even a 10 minute walk from or the Jitney/train.

There are three bedrooms (one with a queen bed, one with 2 twins or king and a smaller 3rd bedroom with a full bed) and two full bathrooms, one with a washer/dryer that is on the ground floor. There are two comfortable living rooms, one with a fireplace and large color TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Smart TV as well as a selection of puzzles and board games for all ages. There is a TV in the master bedroom as well. Attached to the living room is a formal dining room with a farm table that seats 8 for those chilly or hot evenings better spent inside.

For the ultimate chef, the home has a fully stocked kitchen with Cuisinart appliances, a Garland stove, every utensil imaginable as well as all dining-ware. There is no need to bring sheets, towels or beach towels, it’s all here. For those with small children, note that I do not toddler-proof the house, remove the nicknacks, etc. so keep that in mind when renting!

There is a very large and beautifully landscaped backyard complete with a 'Secret Garden" hidden in the far back of the property overlooking a zen fountain. Attached to the house is a back deck with a charcoal and a gas grill and an outdoor garden shower. Dining al fresco with friends and family a the patio dining area allows room for entertaining.

* PLEASE NOTE: Beaches are now open again to renters with permit. I will send you a signed copy of your rental agreement, my rental permit and you will need to provide your vehicle registration with the same name as it appears on the contract. Fee for beach passes is $100 for 2 weeks or 2 months!

Wonderful Oasis in Greenport

We had a wonderful stay at Marcia’s beautiful house in Greenport. Marcia was incredibly welcoming and accommodating and the house was perfect for our trip. The location is ideal - a short walk to everything the NoFo has to offer. Marcia was very responsive and gave great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

Great place despite the weather

We stayed at the Whaling Captain's home during a unseasonable rain storm. Though the weather outside was frightful, we stayed nice and cozy inside the house. Unfortunately, we were not able to do much with the beautiful backyard, but perhaps that will be for another stay. Thumbs up, Five Stars, all that good stuff.

The property was charming. The lockbox was very difficult to access and I was given two different codes to open it. Would have liked more info on how to get onto Wi-Fi - instructions were wrong, and info on how to find the bike would have been great. But generally very pleasant place.

Enchanting Haven

We felt so welcomed and every room we entered increased the sense of being in lovingly appointed atmosphere surrounded by art and furnishings, a fireplace stacked with wood, the artful curation of books and shells and beautiful but welcoming, comfortable furniture. We gathered in every cozy room when our son and his wife visited for dinner with our grandchild. The kitchen is so delightful to cook in and once you step out into the sweet deck in the back you are in a lush yard with a huge lilac tree and a tree swing and through the bamboo you discover the fountain and koi pond and a seating area. Pure serenity. The bedrooms are lovely and cozy and the bathrooms beautifully designed and modernized. We felt so at home. So relaxed and at the same time enchanted and renewed from being in such a home. Thank you Marcia

Best House Ever

Best house we ever rented. VRBO listing does not do justice to the house. It was fabulous, awesome decorations, something new every time we turned around. So much so, we hated to leave even to go out to dinner. The owners truly took pride in the house and maintained its historic charm in every room.

Special place

My husband and I and our Havanese, Max , spent much of the summer at Marcia and Robert’s beautiful home. The house exceeded our expectations. It is a gem and the garden with its water fall was an oasis. The house was fully equipped with all that one would need. Dating from 1821 It was tastefully updated retaining its charm. Close to town it was an easy walk to the many fine restaurants and shops. Beaches were near by both on the Sound and Gardiner’s Bay. We felt so at home here. Thank you Marcia and Robert for sharing your home with us. We can’t wait to return

Great location, charming house

Marcia's house is great location just a short walk into town, and the house itself is adorable and charming. It's listed as a 2BR but there is actually a small 3rd BR as well. The yard also is very well manicured and we enjoyed relaxing back there as well. Overall would definitely recommend and stay again.

The best

Beautiful home, magical setting. Greenport is charming and bustling and the house is a 5-minute walk from downtown. It’s also close to many local farmstands and wineries. Only small negative - and this is not the house or its owner - is that going to the beach was a pain. No beaches are really walkable and only two beaches allow parking without a town parking permit and they’re not that great. So if going in summer either pony up for the $300 non-resident parking pass or get the owner to get a seasonal guest permit (it’s only $40 but it requires the renter has to go to Town Hall in person to get the permit). Would still go back and recommend in a heartbeat!

Nicely updated home built in 1820

We've stayed in a dozen rentals in Greenport over the years (family of 4 + small dog) and this was our favorite that is still available for rent. The renovations were done with care to make this a modern house but not destroy the sense of being in an early 19th century home. Ample electrics (eg double three prong sockets plus USB charging ports next to every night table), terrific central air/heat with Nest thermometers, large screen TVs available but not dominating the rooms they were in, new floors through out, all made staying here very comfortable. The kitchen features a commercial 6 burner stove and enough plates and glassware to serve at least 20 (in our case, we just had dinners for 4 + pup, no visitors). Nicely decorated and well curated, the house is NOT a storage space for a collection of vintage junk, unlike a few homes we have been in where we suspected the owners were hoarders who had bought the house to use as a storage space. The grounds are VERY well landscaped and excellently fenced. Our three year old Cavapoo loved roaming around and exploring but we could always see where she was, and did not need to worry about her escaping to a neighbors yard or the street. In the back of the large yard, there is an Instagram-ready (if thats your thing) bamboo grove with seating, lighting, and a waterfall that would be perfect for morning yoga or an evening cocktail party (though we did neither LOL). Finally, the location can't be beat, its a 5 minute walk to town and 15 minutes to the nearest beach.

We LOVED it!

The house is charming, full of character and beautiful. It feels like you are staying at a family friends place because it is stocked with everything you might need and is also decorated with specially curated objects everywhere you look. Beautiful vintage handmade quilts, an impressive collection of books, pillows and throws galore, lanterns and a working fireplace, a huge dining table, a secret staircase, old doorknobs, incredible outdoor spaces, a nest heating and cooling system, and wide plank wood floors. The location couldn’t be better, making walking to the main drag a beeeze. The 3rd bedroom is quite small, but I found it cozy and comfortable. All bedding, sheets and pillows were nice. I really loved this house and if it actually belonged to a family friend I’d be out there all the time, haha. Thanks Marcia!!
