East Wing of Captain Morse House Luxury Waterfront, Town & Beach, Pets - 5 stars | House in Edgartown
6 Bedroom House in Edgartown
The Captain Morse House is located in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. The East Wing of the house is a totally private home and part of the 26-room Captain Morse House. The Wings are 100% private, just like a townhouse. No shared interior space; each 6-bedroom wing has its own kitchen, entrances, and rooms. See below for detailed information.
The Captain Morse House is one of Edgartown's premier homes. The island's most successful whaler, Captain John Osbourne Morse, built it in 1840. The Captain Morse House has a superb waterfront location and is a short walk from Edgartown's shopping and beaches. The Captain Morse House is located at the corner of Morse and North Water Streets. Edgartown is defined by its Main Street. To the south is South Water Street, which winds by the giant pagoda tree and towards the road to Katama and South Beach. North Water Street runs the opposite way, and the Captain Morse House is located about halfway between Main Street and the Harbor View Hotel, which overlooks the Edgartown Lighthouse and the outer harbor.
On the North Water Street side of the house, two spacious porches framed by 10 Doric columns offer views of Edgartown Harbor. They create an ideal place to spend time with friends. The large patio, backyard, and garden offer a private oasis. Three magnificent Linden trees grace the yard. Edgartown's North Wharf lies steps away at the end of Morse Street. It is a great place to enjoy the waterfront or go fishing.
As you may have guessed, we specialize in large families, family reunions, weddings, and anniversaries. Changing guest demand has led us to offer the home in Wings. Wing rentals are now fully 50% of our rental business. East Wing Rental (The property you are currently viewing)

EXTERIOR
When you rent a Wing of the house, you share the large backyard, patio, and driveway. The patio has two large 8-person teak tables, each with a large market umbrella. There are two large BBQ grills. Six chaise lounges sit on the lawn. The tool shed has shared bikes and a toy box with beach chairs and umbrellas. Our single-lane driveway fits four cars. Parking is available one block away for two more cars.
PARKING AT THE HOUSE
The fewer cars you bring to the island, the better. That said....
If the owner is in residence in the West Wing, then the East Wing guest will park at the 69 Summer Street Parking Lot, two blocks away; otherwise, the East Wing gets priority use of the driveway.
When the Wings are both rented, the East Wing gets the driveway, and the West Wing gets the two spots down the street. This way no one gets blocked in.
OTHER PARKING
There is free parking on the street during the day for up to two hours in the season and all day off-season.
No overnight parking is allowed from 2:00 am to 7:00 am.
Two town parking lots offer overnight parking at the foot of Main Street and at nearby Mayhew Lane.
There is another lot up at the Triangle called the Dark Woods Lot. Obey local parking rules.

EXPECTATIONS
In the interest of transparency, this is where we share everything you should know about the house.
This may repeat what is on Airbnb.
WATER
You are 200 feet from Edgartown Harbor. Walk out of the house and down Morse Street to Edgartown's North Wharf. This is a public wharf and also houses the harbormaster and a marine store. We have a Boston Whaler that is docked here and available as a separate rental. We mention this because some may consider that a hazard.
STAIRS & RAILING
This house was built in 1840 before modern building standards. There are steep stairs from the West Wing of the 1st floor to the 3rd floor and from the East Wing's 2nd floor to the 3rd floor. There are also low railings on the porches and at the West Wing 2nd-floor landing. Small children will need supervision. People with mobility issues should stay on the 1st floor or use the elevator in the East Wing.
CAMERAS
Two exterior cameras and three doorbell cameras cover entrances and patio. The interior camera can be turned towards the wall when you come in.
These are for your protection only.
NOISE
You are three blocks away from Main Street. This is an "in-town" location with all the advantages of walking to pretty much anything you want. The disadvantage is that traffic will be sometimes heard at the corner of Morse Street and North Water Street. The other Wings Guests can sometimes be heard.
