The Harborside Inn

The Harborside Inn on Edgartown Harbor, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts is ideally located for exploring the island. It's accessible by ferry and small planes. There are daily trips between Nantucket Island & M.V. as well. The Inn is a hotel-type resort set on a quaint street in the most (my opinion) picturesque town on the island. The resort is a restored & expanded 18th century whaling captain's house and the rooms are nicely decorated in this period style.The hotel rooms vary in size and location. It is convenient to all shops, restaurants, transportation, beaches, etc. A scant 2-3 block walk will take you to several restaurants, movie theatre, drug store and bike rental .There is a large & spotless communal kitchen with sufficient , individual stoves, refrigs and microwaves. A small grocery store is within walking distance and a larger A&P is walkable, however, the island hop on/off bus would be better if carrying groceries. Burdick's Chocolatiers are located directly next door and it is wonderful for fine pastries, coffee, juices and cocoa. The Inn staff is courteous, helpful & professional. A ferry ride is required to bring your car over and ferry reservations are required. Bringing your car is not necessary as the island bus is economical, tour buses & taxis abound and there are car rentals on island.You can leave your car safely "on the other side" (Falmouth) and take the ferry. Bring your bike if you'd like.The Inn provides free parking (a great commodity in Edgartown). Boat slips are available for owners on a reserved basis.What the Inn might lack in room size, it makes up in location, location, location!
