About this property

Historic Captains House - Newly Renovated Primary Bathroom and Upgraded Kitchen


Beautiful restored 130 year old Sea Captain's House on historic Music Street in the heart of West Tisbury. The home was lovingly restored to it's original splendor by the owners, keeping all the architectural details. The candlelight dining room is wonderfully cozy to entertain friends. A spacious screened-in porch allows al fresco dining, a quiet location to read the book you have been meaning to read for the last year but never had time. The bedrooms are bright and airy with shutters and ample closet space. The outdoor shower is great for when you return from the beach. There is a gas barbecue in the backyard and an area for outdoor dining. Ample parking. Sleeps 10.

Historic captains home
A beautiful house that is well located next to the Unitarian church and Alleys general store. The screened porch is epic and everything in the kitchen is updated and the beds were very comfortable. It absolutely has the feel of a historic house that has been lovingly maintained. Only comment might be to add more instructions/information in the welcome packet. Would definitely go again!!

Historic House in Great Location
Having grown up in classic old home, this property really appealed to me. The large, screened in porch overlooking a very nice lawn was also very appealing. Having spent years coming to the Vineyard, I also appreciated the convenient location and its accessibility to all points of interest on the island.

Excellent rustic accommodations
We came to the island for a few family memorials, and hosted two post-event large-ish evening get-togethers at the beginning of our stay. The weather complied and the lovely and capacious screened porch, dining, and two living rooms enabled several small groups to congregate pretty well.. The house is outfitted for a party- with lovely and plentiful (non-plastic!) serving supplies, glassware, flatware etc. which was very happy-making. The art and unpretentious, yet elegant furnishings create a very homey, comforting environment. The kitchen was a pleasure for collaborative cooking - there we found everything we needed to cook great multiple daily meals for our group. Our only recommendations would be to 1) improve lighting (particularly in the waning summer, early fall, with the earlier darker evenings); and 2) provide more comfortable seating for 6-8 people in the communal living/dining spaces. It was impossible to play games, hang out comfort or read in the two sitting rooms in the evenings with the minimal lighting. Likewise, the full bath upstairs needs additional lighting-it would particularly make the room safer for older folks. That said, we made do quite nicely and loved our stay. Would definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Gothard

Host profile image
English fashion photographer who discovered the magic of the Vineyard whilst on a fashion shoot in the late 70’s moved permanently to the Island 5 years later. In those days travel was so much easier for international assignments so the island was the perfect retreat from the madness of the fashion and rock and roll business. Worked for most of the great fashion designers, Vogue for many years, numerous album covers including a dozen for Carly Simon.

Why they chose this property

You are right in the heart of the Village of West Tisbury, on a quiet side street. Centrally located on the island with most destinations no more than a 15 min drive.

What makes this property unique

Historic captains house in the heart of West Tisbury with access to the farmers market twice a week, artisans shows, antique shows and children's playground, library, country store and 7A bakery. Yoga Barn and Grey Barn close by.
