Outside on the North Water side facing the water are two spacious porches with partial water views of Edgartown Harbor. There is a large dock at the end of Morse Street that you can walk out on.

My husband and I rented this home over the fourth of July for our extended family and had a wonderful time. What a beautiful place in a wonderful location. The parade went by the house and our kids loved it. We could see the fireworks from the house. We would recommend this home for family vacation anytime.Recommended for: People with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: The house is indeed perfect for the fourth. Thank you for your wonderful review.

The bride's family stayed in this home for the week berfore the wedding and it was perfect. We ranged in age from 7yrs. to 91yrs. old and had a wonderful time. The home was very roomy and had enough space that no one was bumping into each other and family members to were able to give the bride her space when needed. The bedrooms were all of good size and comfortable. The home was centerally located to all of the weeks wedding events and everyone was able to walk or bike all over and explore this side of the Island. We all were aware of the homes history which made our stay even more memorable and fun. The family members in the home were from Massachuttes, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois and Arizona and it was great to have time to reconnect and catch up on all things good. Thank you.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: We have recently added additional amenities for wedding parties to support a tent for 125 people.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1955
About the owner: I grew up in the home you are viewing and spent my summers there until I graduated from Tufts University in 1977. This home was purchased by my father the year I was born and was used by him and my mother until 2008. Prior to managing this property I owned and ran Island Sports from 1974 until 2007 with my wife Nancy, It is quite a home and I am proud to be able to share it with you.
Why the Owner Chose Edgartown:
This is the house where I spent my summers. Back in 1955 my parents purchased what was perhaps the best home in Edgartown and then restored it as a summer vacation home.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The biggest benefit is that you are right up from the water and close to downtown without being in the crowds of summer visitors. I love walking down Morse Street to the boatyard each morning and evening to see what's happening on the waterfront and to talk to the boaters and fisherman.
The restaurants and shops are all an easy walk away but it is the waterfront that is the best part of living at the Captain Morse House. After all - it is a whaling Captain's home
