The property is great. Location is great. Lots of rules for the house because it is an historic mansion. The water view from the East Wing is totally blocked by neighbors trees and bushes. So don’t select expecting a water view. The balconies with Street views are great for morning coffee and waving to friendly people walking by. Loved the free bikes onsite. Greatly enjoyed our stay. But no water view from inside the house or from balconies. The management is off site but very responsive.

Stunning
Beautiful property! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this charming historic house. The mothers were especially delighted, as they were able to check off their bucket list item of staying in a historic home. The updated bathrooms were a hit with everyone – the one with the waterfall shower was particularly popular. Thank you for hosting us; it truly felt like a home away from home after our busy days exploring Martha’s Vineyard.

Great location, spacious property
This was a beautiful property in a prime location on the vineyard. The home is enormous, with lots of room for a group to enjoy. Communication with the owner was excellent, he was very informative throughout our stay.

Fantastic Trip All Around
Our week in the vineyard exceeded our expectations due in part to the fantastic location of the Captain Morse House in the center of Edgartown. Everything was in walking distance and the when we opted for porch sitting instead, it felt like we were at home. The rooms were well appointed and we even had a concierge visit when we arrived to assist with settling in and who came by almost daily to check in on our needs - we even had two bottles of wine ready to greet us! It was these extra comforts that made the stay exceed our expectations. Also, the backyard was huge and that’s something because in town center you just don’t see that kind of green space available for private use. We didn’t bring our pet this time, but understand that the rental is pet friendly which is also a rarity for this quality of a home. If we ever visit Edgartown again we would stay here without question. Thanks again!

Great gathering place for large family
The house was beautiful and spacious. We loved having all ten of us in the same home, without feeling crowded. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for Thanksgiving. We will plan to stay here again!

Historic and comfortable house in the perfect location!
We stayed in the East wing of the house comfortably with 8 people. The house has nice beds and everyone is provided a plush robe to use during their stay. We felt right at home. We did a fair amount of cooking at the house and the kitchen is very well equipped with suitable pots of all sizes, dishes and top notch appliances. The house has amazing antiques and artwork throughout. We had use of nice bicycles and helmets and used the gas grill a few of the nights. The backyard is beautiful and private and has lounges and tables with umbrellas for al fresco dining. We enjoyed sitting on the upper and lower porches and looking out to the soothing water view. Five stars!

Heart of Edgartown
The Captain Morse house will not disappoint. We stayed in the lovely East Wing and enjoyed the exceptional detail in the preserved historic home. The owner and property manager were helpful and responsive, and anticipated our every need. The house is situated within walking distance of the best Edgartown has to offer, including the Chappy Ferry. If you are hesitant in renting a historic home, rest assured that you will find every comfort and amenity, including beautiful state-of-the-art kitchen and baths, comfortable beds and even a cozy study. The house is also fully equipped with WiFi for those who need to stay connected. If we could give this a six star review, we would.

Historic home in Edgartown
This property is a large former sea captain’s home located in the heart of historic Edgartown. It is beautifully maintained and has the best equipped kitchen I have ever experienced in a vacation rental.
We were a group of 10 friends so we cooked and ate in most days as it was not easy to get such a large group into any of the local restaurants.
We enjoyed sitting on the large upstairs and downstairs porches in the evenings after dinner. On cooler nights, we enjoyed the spacious living room. The house has a large, formal dining room that could accommodate our entire group for dinner and there are tables in the back yard which we used for bbq dinners and when we pâté lobsters, as these are too messy for the dining room.
Whenever we had the slightest question or issue, these were promptly addressed. All in all, we had a great time and would highly recommend this house.

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 is a full-service vacation management business 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 that the Northwest has to offer. In the fall we return to the island and help close the house and prepare it for the winter. There are always jobs to do on a house this large and so this allows us more hands-on time. In the late fall, we travel back down to Florida 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 to plan your vacation. I can provide you the best possible service if we communicate via telephone or email. Our guests aren't clients so much as 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 that 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.
この宿泊施設の特徴
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
