Own the Vineyard’s most celebrated address.
For more than a century, Harbor View Hotel has hosted generations
of vacationers who appreciate the one-of-a-kind experience this
Vineyard icon provides its guests.
Now, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary on the island, we are
pleased to release an exclusive collection of fully serviced, luxury
Cottage Suites that a lucky few have the opportunity to call their
home away from home.
Experience an entirely new level
of island living.No place better captures the spirit of a classic summer day than
Martha’s Vineyard. With pristine beaches, sailboats gracing the
scenic horizon, and a quaint, approachable character, it is a
postcard-perfect slice of casually sophisticated American charm.
The island has long been treasured as the beachside destination
for those “in the know.” With a more laid-back personality than
other New England destinations, the Vineyard provides a perfect
blend of sophisticated charm and carefree approachability.
It offers a kind of barefoot elegance that draws people back
generation after generation.
Edgartown has always been the gracious village on the island
with vibrant charm, a picturesque harbor of fishing boats and
sailing yachts, luxury boutiques, fine restaurants, and old-
fashioned ice cream parlors—all an easy stroll from your cottage.

For some, the lure of a book and a colorful umbrella provide the perfect way to while away a sunny afternoon. For others, it’s a
tour down the coast on a stand-up paddleboard, delivered to the beach by our waterfront concierge. And for the kids, a sand castle
contest, replete with an elaborate decoration of collected shells and sea glass.
A quick call back to the hotel, you’ll soon see the launch as it cuts through waves shimmering in the late day sun on its return across
the harbor to collect you. The resort pool awaits the children, while you toast the day’s adventures with a cocktail on the hotel porch.
THERE IS NOTHING SO QUINTESSENTIALLY SUMMER AS A MARTHA’S VINEYARD BEACH PICNIC. But as a cottage owner at Harbor
View, the idea of a simple family picnic is taken to an entirely different level. It starts with a call to our restaurant from your room
to place an order for lunch—a collection of sandwiches, salads and decadent sweets.
Then, gather the family together for the stroll down the sandy path to the Harbor View marina, where our wait staff will meet
you with picnic baskets packed and ready as you board our luxury motor launch. As you slip by the iconic Edgartown Lighthouse
and the point at Starbuck Neck, the warmth of the fresh summer breeze and smell of salt air greet you. A remote, pristine beach
is your destination.
Welcome to truly inspired Vineyard living.Of the many special things Martha’s Vineyard offers to vacationers throughout the year, the Captain’s
Cottages offer one more—the luxury of time. Time to enjoy the beach rather than mow the lawn. Time
to explore the island rather than worry about maintenance on your home. Time to build a snowman
with the kids on a winter day rather than shovel the walk.

EDGARTOWN IS THE SORT OF VILLAGE THAT WAS MADE
FOR AN INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION, WITH JUST
THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF QUIET, DOWN-HOME CHARM
AND FRIENDLY BUSTLE. It’s a classic scene straight out of a
Norman Rockwell painting, where kids decorate bikes with
red, white and blue streamers that flutter in the sea breeze
and race them back and forth on sandy side streets, past
classic cars getting a last-minute polish before the town
parade. Families stroll the village streets together eating ice
cream cones and then congregate on the village green for an
evening concert of star-spangled American music. It’s the sort
of small village where you see more friends than strangers,
and everyone shares in a collective spirit of town pride.
As dusk settles, fireworks alight above the waterfront. At the
edge of the harbor, framed by the iconic lighthouse, your
cottage at the Harbor View Hotel reflects the brilliant flashes
of color as a flotilla of decorated boats sound their air horns
in support of the show. As the crescendo of bursts comes to a
close you gather the family together for the short stroll back
home up North Water Street.
It’s days like this that our owners say best sum up why they
own here—for the simple times that carve out such a strong
memory of life well lived.
The Captain’s CottagesThe collection of one, two, and three-bedroom suites currently available are located in several distinct
cottages tucked throughout the hotel’s well-manicured grounds. Named for 19th-century Martha’s
Vineyard whaling captains, each features its own unique floor plan with comfortable interiors personally
created by designer Linda Woodrum of HGTV Dream Homes and Coastal Living Idea Houses. All embrace
classic Vineyard style and a breezy, seaside ambience that provides a refined yet casual sophistication.
THE CAPTAIN’S COTTAGES FEATURE:
· Private washer and dryer for each suite.
· Baths with marble or mini-ceramic tile, glass-walled showers, and separate tubs.
· Porches and/or decks with comfortable rocking chairs.
· Personal storage space for owners in the cottage basements.
· Several feature private cedar and mahogany outdoor showers that directly access the Master Bath.

THE VINEYARD AUTUMN IS A SECRET SEASON THAT MANY CONSIDER
THEIR FAVORITE TIME ON THE ISLAND. After the flurry of summer
visitors depart, the beaches become a deserted landscape of red-hued rose
hips and minty green surf. The town of Edgartown goes into a tranquil
state where staple shops and warm, inviting pubs serve a local population
of true islanders. And, across the island, the summer rental cottages are
boarded up awaiting the distant rush of Memorial Day.
At Harbor View, our owners embrace the off-season as a chance to
connect with family and friends and experience the allure of a personal,
pastoral Vineyard. Thanksgiving at Harbor View is the preeminent time
to do just that. The hotel—while open throughout the year—provides
the perfect backdrop for this special holiday. Our owners appreciate the
ability to provide lodging for guests in our hotel rooms, as well as the
traditional feasts prepared by our chef. It’s a time of sweaters, books,
hot drinks by the fireplace, and quiet walks on windswept shores.
Become a part of an island legacy.
Harbor View Hotel is stewarded by a small group of individual owners with
strong ties to the island community. Several are Edgartown homeowners
themselves, who live in the neighborhood and vacation with their families
on the island year after year. The common bond they share with Captain’s
Cottage owners is a deep appreciation for the island and an enduring
commitment to protect its spirit.
