From $400 a nightThe Captain Morse House
Edgartown Vacation Rental
Built in 1840 by Captain John Osborne Morse, a Martha’s Vineyard whaling captain, this historic home has anchored North Water Street for nearly two centuries — and it’s never looked better. From the twin front porches, Edgartown Harbor unfolds directly in front of you. Sailboats at anchor, the lighthouse in the distance, salt air off the water.
Martha’s Vineyard’s largest vacation rental — and still the most talked-about address in Edgartown.

East Wing, West Wing or Entire House
The house splits cleanly into two private wings — each with its own entrance, full kitchen, and living space. Book the East Wing for harbor-facing porches and a quieter feel. Take the West Wing for direct access to the backyard and patio. Or rent the whole house and fill every room. Same address, any configuration.
Open Year Round
Most of the Vineyard shuts down in October. The Captain Morse House doesn’t. Long off-season weekends, Thanksgiving weeks, corporate retreats, and winter escapes — the house is available year-round and a different kind of beautiful when the summer crowds are gone.
Location
Four beaches within walking distance. The restaurants, shops, and harbor of Edgartown village three blocks away. Free bikes for everything in between. Private off-street parking for when you do need the car. The address does a lot of the work for you.

We loved our stay at Captain Morse House! The home is beautiful and the backyard is extensive. It’s in a great location and the leasing crew was helpful at each step. Highly recommend staying here!
