  Absolutely LOVE this HARBOR-FRONT HEAVEN!!!

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This beautiful and historic Edgartown inn is the ONLY direct waterfront resort on Martha’s Vineyard. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Right on Edgartown Harbor the views are breathtaking. The center of Edgartown is just steps away - featuring 20 + restaurants, entertainment, shopping, galleries, bookstores, movie theater, fishing pier, historical sites, preserved whaling-era architecture, lush gardens, stunning waterfront views, beaches, a museum, bus transit and all the activities this charming village has to offer. The grounds are gorgeous - impeccably maintained with beautiful, colorful flower gardens and a crystal clear, outdoor heated pool, a BBQ patio with 5 gas grills plus outdoor café tables/chairs with umbrellas for outdoor dining, 3 mesmerizing harbor-front firepits, and an expansive sundeck with amazing views of the pool, the gardens, & Edgartown Harbor. The sundeck has rocking chairs and tables & chairs for snacks, drinks, games, & socializing with others. Weekly activities include yoga, live musical entertainment, trivia nights, karaoke nights, Fri night JAWS movie by the pool, s'mores at the firepits, plus evening cookies & milk in the lobby. Off the lobby is a lovely great room / guest lounge overlooking the harbor and in the small fireplace room has a computer corner with a printer. All the buildings have recently been renovated to ensure an upscale, luxurious experience. Rooms are immaculately clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated with fridges, free wi-fi, flat screen cable smart TV’s, Keurig machines, and A/C or heat. There is a free parking lot -but it is 1/3 of a mile walk down beautiful, historic South Water St. The staff and management are exceptional and work incredibly hard, all following the same vision & professional ethic and truly excel in the art & science of HOSPITALITY. These wonderful people deliver the highest level of customer service, bending over backwards to fulfill guests’ every little need and request. The HSI team are genuinely friendly & gracious, extremely accommodating and pay exquisite attention-to-detail, making each and every guest feel welcome, comfortable and at home. They have become like family over my 21 years of vacationing at the Harborside. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EACH OF YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO! Here are the drawbacks that you may want to be aware of: WARNING - there are no elevators. The Ripley and Main Buildings may require 2 sets of stairs! (But you can have the Bell Staff bring your luggage up & down.) The smallest rooms are extremely small. Some of the rooms have very small bathrooms & narrow showers. Some of the rooms have very small closets. The Harborside Inn is very pricey, but are actually competitive compared to all the other lodging on an outrageously expensive island. I love the Harborside and can’t recommend it highly enough!!! It is a beautiful, relaxing resort/oasis. The staff will make you feel so welcome, comfortable & “at home” that you will never want to leave!!!

  Beautiful room, views and LOCATION!

  The Inn was just lovely. Our room was beautifully decorated and our bed and the bedding were sooo comfortable. The location was excellent! The extra amenities like hot coffee in the lobby, fresh cookies each night, complimentary water bottles and turn down service added to the experience. Would 100% recommend. A great experience.
