Om overnatningsstedet

Edgartown Captain's Home - Luksus - Beliggenhed "en gang i livet oplevelse" 5 *

Captain Morse House er en af ​​Edgartowns førende hjem. Det blev bygget af kaptajn John O. Morse i 1840. Morse var en af ​​de mest vellykkede hvalfangst kaptajn. Det er et stort og storslået hjem bygget i den græske Revival stil. Captain Morse House har en fantastisk beliggenhed tæt på Edgartowns shopping og en kort gåtur til fire strande og North Wharf og byens travle havn.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Vi kan indstille huset til at rumme flere forskellige grupper. Fra et nådigt hjem, der vil være vært for en lille familie til sin maksimale konfiguration, hvor vi kan rumme op til 25 personer i 12 soveværelser. Der er 20 senge fordelt på 12 soveværelser og en hems. Det første og andet etage har de bedste soveværelser. Der er 7 fulde bade og en udendørs bruser. Der er også to fuldt udstyrede køkkener, to store spisestuer og to store stuer.

Vandvisning - er du på vandet
Der er udsigt over Edgartown havnen fra huset og fra begge vores verandaer. Vi er kun 200 meter ned Morse Street (60 m) til The North Wharf er. The North Wharf er et center for lancering, fiskeri, dockage, fortøjning og sejlsport. Kaptajn Morse plejede at holde sine både på The North Wharf, så det er virkelig som at have din helt egen dock! En morgen tur ned til kajen er en fantastisk måde at starte dagen på. Se vores Waterfront Page.

Interiøret går igennem
Hjemmet er fordelt over tre etager og tilbyder en række offentlige værelser og private soveværelser. Forsiden af ​​første sal har en stor formel stue med dobbelt adgang portaler til verandaen. Ved siden af ​​er den indgangsåbning, der har en dejlig vindeltrappe bygget af lokale skibsværfter. Herefter kommer medieværelset, der fordobles som et ekstra soveværelse og derefter en formel spisestue og gourmet køkken. Når du går forbi køkkenet, går du ind i bagsiden af huset med en stor stue og spiseplads, et privat en-suite soveværelse og et fuldt udstyret køkken. Dette er et fantastisk uformelt rum til mere afslappede sammenkomster.

Anden sal begynder igen med en storslået veranda, der kan nås fra enten soveværelse eller det andet store soveværelse. Herfra til bagsiden af ​​huset er der yderligere 5 soveværelser og 4 badeværelser. Disse er alle lagt ud på en måde, som du ikke vil se i andre huse bygget mere for nylig. Det er en del af charmen i huset.

På tredje sal er der yderligere fire soveværelser. Dette er den enkleste del af huset og var hvor tjenerne plejede at leve. Tilbage i 1800'erne tog det en lille hær til at køre huset. Ikke alle kunne rent faktisk bo i huset. Nogle boede på Chappaquiddick Island og tog færgen drives af kaptajn Morse's far Uriah.

Som du måske kan gætte, specialiserer vi dig i store familier, familiesammenføringer, bryllupper, jubilæer og enhver begivenhed, hvor folk vil nyde hinandens virksomhed uden at distrahere andre. Store grupper regelmæssigt bog vores hjem for sin charme, komfort og unikke karakter og nåde. Med det sagt, at vores lange tid gentage lejere tendens til at være mindre familier på 6 eller deromkring. De inviterer venner til at besøge og bruge de store rum til underholdning. I min ungdom boede jeg i huset sammen med min bror og forældre. Det ser ud til at være usædvanligt nu, men da tog vi det for givet og hjalp vores far med vedligeholdelses- og græsplænen.

BEKVEMMELIGHEDER
Vi er fuldt udstyret med stort set alt hvad du kan forestille dig. Højdepunkter er fuld sengetøj, to underholdningscentre, fuldt hus WiFi, 4 zone HVAC, elevator og gratis cykler. Klik på overskriften ovenfor for en komplet liste.

UDENDØRS
De dobbelte forreste verandaer er indrammet af 10 doriske søjler og vender ud mod havnen. De skaber et ideelt sted at tilbringe dagen. Den store baghave og haven tilbyder en privat oase fra travlheden i en vingård sommer. Værftet er præget af tre tårnhøje og storslåede Linden træer.

På den nordlige Water Street side af huset er der to rummelige verandaer med udsigt over Edgartown Harbor. Edgartown North Wharf ligger under huset i slutningen af ​​Morse Street. Det er et godt sted at gå og nyde den travle havnefront eller måske noget fiskeri. Vi har en beskeden indkørsel, der kan holde 4 biler, der fører tilbage til baghaven. Vores baghave er en af ​​de mest rummelige og sikre i byen og har en muret terrasse med plads til 20 med en meget flot grill. Værktøjsstuen har gratis cykler, strandstole og græsplæne.

Hvor er huset
Vi er på østsiden af øen Martha's Vineyard i den historiske by Edgartown. Huset er tre blokke nord for hovedgaden i Edgartown på Morse Street. Kort

Beautiful in an amazing location

The Captain Morse House's location made out stay last year worth it! Not only is it walking distance from all the amazing restaurants and shops but it is also large enough to house a full troop of people while still feeling as if you have enough space and not on top of each other. Norm was an amazing host so helpful and very gracious on check in and check out. We truly had the best experience here and would recommend it to anyone!

The house is elegant and well appointed and will accommodate a lot of guests.

The ship captain’s house is elegant and welcoming if you appreciate an atmosphere of yesteryear. It is like staying in your grandmother’s house just as she left it, except she fortunately had modern beds and an up to date, well stocked kitchen, actually 2 kitchens. We love that atmosphere and our children do as well, so everyone was happy. We were there in Winter and heating was satisfactory, so we cannot speak to Summer conditions. The house is lovely and charming and the only short coming was parking. The driveway can take 2 cars, one behind the other, which presents an inconvenience so the second car we had parked on the street. Fortunately in 2 weeks in December it never got a parking ticket for overnight parking which the sign says is prohibited. Old New England village not designed to accommodate automobiles. On that subject walking to the commercial center of Edgartown for restaurants and shops is likewise charming day and evening. Our family walked to restaurants, shops and the movie theater. How old fashioned, nice and healthful.

Fantastic Family Reunion

We had 3 generations of our family staying in the house over an Oct. holiday weekend- 14 adults/9 children and it was absolutely perfect! The location is superb, the spaces inside were great for small gatherings and conversations, and the children loved playing hide and seek in this grand old house. The host was most accommodating and we could not have asked for a better stay! HIGHLY recommend!

Beautiful accomodations in a fabulous location.

The Captain Morse House is a lovingly restored home in a fabulous location. The house mixes historic charm with beautifully updated amenities including kitchens & bathrooms. All of the rooms are spacious and comfortable for gathering. The kitchens are fully-equipped including outdoor gas grills. The backyard is beautiful with a lush lawn, flowerbeds and outdoor dining tables. I rented both wings for a large family gathering. The accommodations were so comfortable and in good order that it made the weekend effortless and enjoyable for everyone. Having the house walking distance to town was an added bonus. This was my first time renting on MV and I will definitely return to the Captain Morse House.

70th Birthday Party

We hosted a 70th Birthday Party. We invited friends and family to spend the weekend with us to celebrate this milestone. Everyone loved the property. It had everything we needed; plenty of places to gather, eat and walking distance to downtown Edgartown. It was March so it was cold and windy. The house has so much character, history and lovely little extras you have to experience. A wonderful experience.

There was absolutely itching we needed for our two week family stay that wasn’t there!! We’d highly recommend it for any type of event and hope to return again and again!

Winter on the vineyard

My family and I go to the vineyard every winter, and it’s always a great time. We usually stay at hotels but we really wanted to be together this time. We found the Captain Morse house and I could not be more thankful! Our weekend was everything we’d thought it would be and more. This house extremely homey and comfortable! We never wanted to leave! There were great paths for our annual night walk (yes, we walk in winter 😅) we were in walking distance to some amazing coffee shops and diners, and the kids had a ball during our dance party with all the cousins, aunts, and uncles! Above all I have to say, the management was the best part! You can stay at a place that has everything you need and more, but if the people running it aren’t accommodating or lack communication, you’d never want to go there again! This team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and we were comfortable! They responded to a late night request as well which was very impressive! Safe to say…. We will be back next February! Thank you so much!!! The Crafts Family

Fabulous in all regards

We'd not hesitate for a moment before returning. Our group was adult siblings, spouses, and young children. The house (we had both wings) was perfect for us. There was space to spread out--adults could be in the front living rooms while kids enjoyed feeling independent in the back. Two kitchens avoided any crunches of space. Bedrooms galore provided great flexibility. A short walk to Lighthouse Beach or to town provided perfect outings. And, used to living ourselves in a house of a similar era (early 1800s) with English antiques accented by China Trade pieces, we felt perfectly at home. The house clearly has a force field around it that avoids "beach house kitsch." It's just charming. And three big cheers for the Heidi, the manager. On top of providing a wonderful welcome when we arrived, she hit true heroics at 10:45am on New Year's Day when she answered our call on the first ring and arrived at the house within minutes and jumped our car, the battery of which had died, in time to make our boat off-island. That is truly above and beyond.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

We stayed at the Captain Morse House for a large family celebration (10 adults and 3 kiddos) and had the most lovely stay! The house is situated perfectly between cute shops in downtown Edgartown and the idyllic lighthouse. We loved taking strolls for a morning pastry, followed by lunch at the house and a meander to the beach to frolic in the ocean. The house also has bicycles, which we took out to explore other parts of the island. The Captain’s house was a perfect place to stay -- we got to hang out all under one roof, eat meals together, watch the Warriors together etc. All while having enough space for everyone to feel comfortable and enough rooms to nestle in by one’s self if needed. There are two kitchens (fully equipped with all sorts of cooking utensils, platters, dishes, anything you could want ) -- our family used the smaller kitchen for breakfast preparation and the large kitchen for epic dinner preparations. As for the sleeping quarters, the bedrooms are cozy and flooded with light. Two of the upstairs bedrooms connect to a gorgeous porch which is great for a nice view and people watching. There is also a downstairs porch that was perfect for cocktails and many games of chess. The backyard outdoor space was beautiful -- the tables outside were great for a delightful outdoor lunch while the kids ran around on the lawn nearby. The owners are also incredibly kind and generous and made our stay at Capt. Morse’s house very special, smooth and sublime! We cannot wait to visit again. June 10, 2019

I went here with a great group of women last week, and had a wonderful time! I had never been to the area, and couldn’t have asked for a more central spot. There was so much in walking distance, and such a quaint town! The house was beautiful, and so full of character and history. It was extremely well-appointed and comfortable too. I would definitely recommend it!!

Breathe taking house overall

This home is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to experience one of the best vacation rentals on the island. My family rented the house in July of 2018 and we had an incredible stay and the memories we made will last a life time. The home has EVERYTHING you will need to enjoy a fun filled vacation. The location of the home is truly ideal with just a short walk (2 blocks) to Edgartown Harbor, 3 area beaches to chose from and a just short stroll to the business district with some of the best restaurants and shops on the island. The home itself exudes old world charm, yet has ALL of the amenities and upgrades that will make your stay a memorable one. The owner, and his team, are there for you if you have any questions during your time at the property. Very nice people and very accommodating. There is plenty of out door living space including the private patio in the rear of the home with seating for the extended family that incudes a huge gas grill, plenty of front porch seating as well with some views of the harbor or you can even lounge out on the well manicured grounds with beautiful mature plantings. There is no need to rent bikes as there are plenty of high-end bikes with helmets in the shed for your use. You will not find a better vacation on the island. This is the one!! #fivestars

Amazing and Memorable Vacation with the Family!

My family and I absolutely loved the house and our stay in Edgartown. The house is in an amazing location right in the middle of town and within walking distance to everything.The house is very well kept and there is great attention to detail. Platt was an unbelievable host and was always available to take care of anything we needed. I highly recommend the home for anyone taking some time to vacation in Edgartown!

Great Venue for Large Gathering

We spend a wonderful week at the Captain Morse House, which was rented for my son's wedding. My son and his bride wanted a "destination wedding" and the Morse House in Edgartown was the perfect place. We had a total of 20 guests who were comfortably accommodated. Many traveled in from the Midwest and were first time visitors to the area. They were impressed by the grandeur of the house and the many nautical themed pictures which adorn the walls. Having everyone under one roof certainly made the logistics of an event like a wedding much easier. The kitchen and food preparation areas are first-rate. The two kitchens are well stocked with every imaginable kitchen gadget or pot and pan, as well as enough place settings for almost any sized group. One of the two kitchens features a six-burner range that would please any gourmet chef. Although the Captain Morse House is an old house, what is most impressive is everything works. The plumbing is great, and all the showers have an impressive amount of water pressure. The electrical system is modern and unlike some old houses, you can simultaneously run the coffee maker and microwave and not pop circuit breakers. There is a great WiFi setup, and several big screen TV's. We didn't spend much time indoors watching TV as the weather was perfect when we were there, but you could do that on a rainy day. As there is limited parking at the house, I would recommend off-island guests leave their cars on the mainland. Getting around the island is easy using the VTA buses, taxis, or Uber. Once in Edgartown, guests really don't need cars, as there are dozens of shops and restaurants nearby within easy walking distance. Adventurous types can use one of the bikes available for guests to go exploring around other parts of the island. Overall, the Captain Morse House is a wonderful venue for any event that involves a large group of people. It's perfect for weddings, family reunions, or corporate retreats. If you decide the rent the house, I am sure you will enjoy it and the Edgartown area as much as we did.

The Captain Morse House has been in our family since my father purchased it in 1955. I spent my summers at the house until I graduated from Tufts University. In 1973 I started Island Sports, a boat rigging and windsurfing shop. I expanded it to Newport, RI, in 1979 and ran it there until 2007, when we sold it. In 2008 I entered the vacation business and converted the Captain Morse House into a successful vacation rental. Since 2008 we have rented the home to over 200 families and groups.

Our most recent project is Vacation Rental MV. This full-service vacation management business is designed to assist busy homeowners with listing and managing their on-island rental properties. 2021 will be our second season in business.

In the winter, my wife and I live in Florida. Each spring, we drive up to the island, where we open up the house and prepare it for the season. We spend about a month doing this and then travel to Oregon, where we spend the summer windsurfing, kitesurfing, and enjoying all the Northwest offers. In the fall, we return to the island, help close the house, and prepare it for winter. There are always jobs to do on a house this large, allowing us more hands-on time. We travel back down to Florida in the late fall with the geese. I have built several homes and enjoy the challenge of maintaining this old house and of creating wonderful living spaces suitable for large or small numbers of guests.

Due to my long time on the island. I can help you plan your vacation. I can provide you with the best possible service if we communicate via telephone or email. Our guests aren't clients so much; they are friends assisting us in maintaining the property and keeping it in our family for future generations. The vacation rental business has allowed our family to continue to own the house and to share it with other people who love the island and the unique architecture and heritage of this wonderful building.

My father often visited Edgartown on his father's sailboat, the Gertrude. In 1955 my parents purchased the Captain Morse House in order to have a summer home to raise their growing family. Back in 1955 Edgartown was still a failed whaling town without the top reputation it now enjoys. Shortly after the purchase they added a separate kitchen and changed the house so that they could divide it into wings. This allowed them to rent them out separately. We have kept this configuration and you can still rent out the home Complete or as an East Wing or as a West Wing.

and I then spent every summer there until I moved to Newport Rhode Island in 1979. I continued to visit my parents each summer until 2007. I now spend as much time as I can on the island attending to the house and maintaining it. When it was built in 1840 it was perhaps the best home in Edgartown. Now movie stars and celebrities have built larger homes but non with the style and class of the Captain Morse House.

There are lots of modern and redone houses around but there are very few of these homes. Built in 1840 and filled with charm and character you will be enthralled by the beauty and simplicity of the home and it's surroundings.

Our guests say this is the perfect location. You are close to town and right up from the harbor. Park the car for the week or leave it on the mainland. Our location allows for freedom from car pooling and shuttles. Everything is literally a walk away. We love walking down Morse Street to the boatyard to see what's happening on the waterfront and to talk to the boaters and fisherman.
The large open home offers privacy and retreat no matter how many people fill the house.
The large backyard can serve as a base for quiet afternoons as well as an evening party.
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
