Check-out instructions

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:

Remove personal items and remove leftover food and drinks

Please leave all towels cleaned and stored where you found them. Leaving as little as possible for the washer/dryer is much appreciated as it is a lot for the cleaners in the time they have. Thanks!

Please close the umbrella on the outdoor dining table after each use. The umbrella can catch wind and cause the table to topple over and break.

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!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Martha’s Vineyard home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the owners had taken great care to prepare the house for our visit. Everything was spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully arranged, making us feel at home immediately.One of the highlights for our family was the piano. My siblings and I all enjoy playing, so having a well-kept piano in the home was an unexpected treat. It became a gathering place where we spent time playing music together and creating memories that we’ll always cherish.The location couldn’t have been better. We were within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and everything we wanted to explore. It was wonderful to leave the car behind and simply enjoy strolling through the area each day.Every day of our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. This home exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would gladly stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed home in an outstanding location on Martha’s Vineyard.

We had a wonderful stay in this historic home. There was plenty of room for our extended family of 10. It was nice to stay at a home within walking distance of everything, including a beach.

About the host

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.
