  My daughter wanted to celebrate her 40th birthday by staying in Vineyard Haven, the location where her maternal grandmother vacationed with her family when she was a child. The Sea Captain's House provided the perfect location for our family vacation. The home was beautiful inside and out, with a modern kitchen, luxurious furnishings and spacious rooms for sleeping, relaxing and enjoying family time. We had our 1yr old grandson with us and the owners even had a high chair and port-a-crib available. The owners provided great support in ensuring we had the access, information and accommodations we needed to ensure our time in their home was everything we hoped it would be. The location was near the ferry, grocery stores, restaurants, and retail shops. As a parent and grandparent, I have spent many years trying to help my children and grandchildren realize their hopes and dreams and this trip and this home enabled us to provide our family with one of the best vacations ever. Thanks Catherine for all you did to help us make this possible.

  A stunning home! My familly and I rented this beautiful home for a weekend and although it is gorgeous in the pictures, it far exceeded my expectations. It is unlike any vacation home I have ever rented with its combination of grandeur and coziness at the same time. Catherine has given this home a warm & inviting feeling with her family pictures, beautiful furnishings, artwork and decorating. Everything was so clean and fresh. Located right on the Main street of Vineyard Haven and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, the grocery store and the ferry. Everything about this home was perfect and I hope to have the opportunity to stay there again.

  I booked this for a milestone birthday celebration with 5 couples. I have to thank Catherine for making me look like a genius! The place was beautiful, well-equipped, and with a superb location - beyond our hopes. The price was fantastic for all we got - we had fun cooking "at home" and had lots of great spaces to gather from the large living room and dining room to numerous smaller sitting rooms. A short walk to the ferry or to a supermarket and local shopping. We'll be back.

  We stayed here for our family reunion for my mother-in-law's 75th birthday. Our group aged from 8 to 75, and the house provided plenty of room for everyone to have their own space while still enjoy being together (all those bathrooms were especially great--with such a large group, it's hard to find so many with plentiful bathrooms!). The house is immaculate and beautiful, and the owners are nearby and always helpful to address anything that might come up immediately or provide suggestions or guidance for your stay. The location is also great--literally steps away from the shops and restaurants of Vineyard Haven, as well as the little beach and beautiful neighborhoods for biking or running. All at what seemed like a really great value compared to other large family rentals. Thanks Catherine!

  My high school friends [ class of 59 ] and I have been having breakfast once a month and traveling one weekend a year for the last 11 years. We have stayed in many nice places. This beautiful and comfortable home on Martha's Vineyard has been our favorite. So much so that it is the only place that we have returned to. I can't say enough about this home and its owner, Catherine. We have truly enjoyed staying here. There are 10 of us and Catherine's home is both comfortable for us and convenient to many sight seeing opportunities on the Vineyard. I know that my friends would agreed that if you should choose this home for your vacation you will be completely satisfied.

  This is one of the most lovely homes I've ever stayed in. This is a mini mansion in the heart of Vineyard Haven with newspaper stores, a movie theater, coffee shops and boutiques right in the neighborhood. Superbly equipped kitchen with room for everyone to gather around the central island and talk up a storm. Owner is a pleasure to work with!

  I told the owners I'd write a review, even though I was hesistant to do so because selfishly I wouldn't more people finding out about how incredible this place is. I stayed here and hosted out of town friends in July, and then out of town family in September, and everyone was incredibly impressed with the house, and its location right on Main Street. In particular there was a lot of space for 14 - this is not like some of the Vineyard houses that are just a bunch of sleeping rooms stuck together - there is plenty of living space for everyone, namely three living rooms, two dining areas, a huge kitchen, and two impressive master bedrooms (and also a basement with a ping pong table). All but one of the rooms are attached to a bathroom and shower. Finally, the Urbans really put a personal touch on the house - the owners are graduates of Cornell's prestigous school of hotel management and it really shows - I love the furnishings, art work, and family photos around the house that make the place feel like a real home and not just a place to sleep. I'd highly recommend this house to anyone who plans on coming to Vineyard when I don't plan to be there myself.

  We housed 13 people (7 adults 6 kids) in this wonderful former B & B. Many bedrooms give everyone their space, but the huge kitchen is a great family gathering area. Right on the edge of Vineyard Haven, a small cozy town with a wonderful bookstore and movie theater. Highly recommend!

  This lovely home was shared by 16 women for a week in early June 2011. The property was spacious, VERY clean and well maintained. The patio and porch were a wonderful area to gather in addition to the large great room/kitchen. The owner met us to explain everything on the 1st day then called during the week to see if everything was going okay. We plan to rent again next year. This is our 22nd year on MV. I do believe we have found our vacation home for the next 22 years!!! The owner went out of her way to make our stay relaxing and inviting. You will not be disappointed with this rental. It is also w/in walking distance to shopping and the finest restaurants on the island!! No need for a car with this rental!! Enjoy!!

  We spent a week in this house with our two children and 4 grandchildren. Everything about it was beyond perfect. We had read the positive reviews before selecting it, but no review could really do it justice. Everyone loved it--the grandkids (ages 1-6) loved their comfy rooms, the outside porches and deck, being able to go next door with Grandma first thing in the morning when everyone else was asleep to get fresh bagels. The kitchen had every appliance and gadget you could want. We lit fires in the fireplace and had wonderful outdoor barbecues. Each time we had a question we were able to contact the owner quickly. Our grandkids said they wished they could live there all the time!
