The Captain Morse House
on Martha’s Vineyard Island
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. This is what you came to the Vineyard for.
The house has been fully restored with every modern comfort while preserving its original grandeur: 12 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 2 full kitchens, and space for up to 28 guests. Book the East or West Wing for an intimate getaway, or take the whole house for a reunion, wedding, or multi-family summer week unlike anything else on the island.
