Wonderful home; lot's of room to hang out. Kitchen is well equipped. Of course we loved the screened in porch. Good location- walking distance to the store and bakery.

Our return to the Captains House after a few years of staying elsewhere on the island was all that we hoped it would be. It’s a beautiful home full of comfort and charm. Spending time on the large screened in porch, day or night, remains a highlight. In addition, the Ag Fair is in walking distance and access to Lambert’s Cove is a major perk. We look forward to returning next summer.

We just love this home on Music Street and have stayed there before. Everything about it is wonderful - it is so comfortable and tasteful, with everything you need from the kitchen to beach towels! The screened in porch is A - we spend hours and most of our meals there. The location is great - with easy walking access to a store, the library, a playground, a wonderful gallery and more. And our hosts are so responsive and helpful, making it easy from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Wonderful home in West Tisbury

We had a wonderful stay at Music Street. Bob was a gracious host. The house is amazing. It’s both historically charming and well appointed. We practically lived on the back porch, and access to the park across the street and Alley’s and 7a around the corner was extremely convenient. Highly recommended.

Historic captains home

A beautiful house that is well located next to the Unitarian church and Alleys general store. The screened porch is epic and everything in the kitchen is updated and the beds were very comfortable. It absolutely has the feel of a historic house that has been lovingly maintained. Only comment might be to add more instructions/information in the welcome packet. Would definitely go again!!

Beautiful historic house, best for small groups

I stayed here with a group of 4 adults and we each had our own room, but the bathroom situation was unique. 1 had a half bath attached, one had full bath down the hall, and 2 were in conjoining rooms that had half bath+ basin tub and no shower. The master has a wonderfully firm foam mattress, but does not have an attached bath and is right next to the only true full bath. Every day, most opted for the outdoor shower instead. The historic nature of the house is beautiful, however the electronics (especially dishwasher and oven) are in desperate need of replacement. Overall a nice stay for out of season.

Music Street Delight!

Wow -= what a wonderful time we had during this stay And this was our second time at this house - so we knew excatly what to expect, And it was even better!! This is such a wonderful and welcoming house - just so easy for our family. The location is terrific - especially with young children - the playground across the street, the wonderful library around the corner, a great place (7A) for breakfast food and perhaps my favorite place on the island - the Field Gallery!! Having stayed there before, it was so easy to settle in - but since we were there, there were many renovations/improvements- including the kitchen and master bath And the screened-in porch is fantastic - we all spent so much time there - meals, playing, perfect for rainy days, too!! But perhaps the icing on the cake is that the owners, Josh & Grace, were a pleasure to rent from - at every step of the way. They are so responsive, helpful and truly couldn't be better landlords. So I give this house and our stay an A+++

Great Place for Family

Beautiful historic home right in the village of West Tisbury; easy access to the bus station, historic general store, library, playground, and art gallery. We had a slight hiccup with the air conditioning units early on but the owner/property manager was great and it was fixed quickly. One bedroom did not have an AC unit which complicated our stay a bit (child’s room) and the cleaning crew showed up an hour early on the last day (9 AM although check out was 10 AM) and hung out in the back yard until we left at 9:45 AM. (That was a bit disappointing since our flight wasn’t until much later in the day and we wanted a relaxing morning before departing.) Minus that, it was a good property with gorgeous furnishings and a nice back yard. I would recommend staying there when the weather is a bit on the cooler side.

Heavenly 1st Vineyard Visit

Perfect peace in an exquisite home & location. If you seek the comfort of home on MV, you have found THE place. This Music Street home is filled with character & every comfort one could imagine - just as listed. A well appointed kitchen, comfy beds and multiple living/dining areas as well as a serene outdoor space one would be hard-pressed to not be enamored with. And do not miss the opportunity to use the outdoor shower as often as possible! Do bring your own beach items - chairs, towels & the like. Bob & Josh were spectacular hosts, attentive to every need & with provision of thoughtful suggestions. We enjoyed many area walks including Menemsha Hills Reservation & Nat’s Farm as well as the dining at State Road. Grey Barn was a lovely place for a number of pastries, cheeses & wonderful raw milk. This perfect location made it easy to enjoy the entire island. I am already planning a next visit!

Beautiful home in the center of West Tisbury

This wonderful home in the center of West Tisbury was everything we were seeking this summer and more. The house is so spacious, we spent different times of the day in different rooms. The kitchen, with washer and dryer included, is a perfectly working kitchen to whip up any meal, and then enjoy it on the totally awesome screened in porch. As a family we spent most mornings and evenings sitting on this porch. A private back yard garden provided a place for us to play, and the outdoor shower was perfect when returning from the beach. Sitting in the center of West Tisbury we were a direct shot to all of our favorite destinations - Edgartown, South Beach and Menemsha. The street is walkable and bikeable, and the offerings of the various daily markets across the street made life even better. Alley's General Store and the bakery 7a behind us, as well as the library and art galleries, playground and an island bus stop and gas station, provided for everything we needed. The buzz of this local town was so fun to be a part of on a daily basis. Wonderful yoga studios are near by, as well as some relaxing drives to pick up some local honey, produce or totally delicious sandwiches and pizzas. The house was clean, airy, private and safe. It had all the amenities needed for daily life. The owner was 100% available at all times. We totally appreciated our month of July at this house. We would highly recommend this house for a lovely vacation of rest, relaxation, fun and adventure.

Central Island Location

We very much enjoyed our stay and had a very positive experience overall, especially the large screened porch became our go-to place to relax, enjoy evening cocktails and dinner. The house has plenty of comfortable space inside and out even for large groups. The only drawback was that the lighting on the porch is very minimal; indeed we temporarily moved one or two table lamps from the inside to the porch so that we could read and see our food :-) There are many board games and an endless supply of books. Our host even allowed us to take a few home and send back once we finish reading them. The kitchen is equipped well with pretty much everything one would expect . Contrary to the description there where no beach chairs and beach towels. Our host quickly remedied that by dropping a few off the day after we asked for them. However, there where a couple of things that didn't impress us. One thing especially we didn't expect: only one bathroom has a shower, and it is not very spacious due to it being inside a free standing bath tub. It was described correctly but we didn't notice and didn't think of asking before booking. The outside shower, however, is wonderful - and the weather was still warm enough for it to be used comfortably. The mattress of one of the queen beds clearly has seen better times. We found it uncomfortably soft and worn out in the center. Also note that the downstairs bedroom has no closet. We didn't use it but it's good to know especially when booking with a larger group.

Historic House in Great Location

Having grown up in classic old home, this property really appealed to me. The large, screened in porch overlooking a very nice lawn was also very appealing. Having spent years coming to the Vineyard, I also appreciated the convenient location and its accessibility to all points of interest on the island.

Excellent rustic accommodations

We came to the island for a few family memorials, and hosted two post-event large-ish evening get-togethers at the beginning of our stay. The weather complied and the lovely and capacious screened porch, dining, and two living rooms enabled several small groups to congregate pretty well.. The house is outfitted for a party- with lovely and plentiful (non-plastic!) serving supplies, glassware, flatware etc. which was very happy-making. The art and unpretentious, yet elegant furnishings create a very homey, comforting environment. The kitchen was a pleasure for collaborative cooking - there we found everything we needed to cook great multiple daily meals for our group. Our only recommendations would be to 1) improve lighting (particularly in the waning summer, early fall, with the earlier darker evenings); and 2) provide more comfortable seating for 6-8 people in the communal living/dining spaces. It was impossible to play games, hang out comfort or read in the two sitting rooms in the evenings with the minimal lighting. Likewise, the full bath upstairs needs additional lighting-it would particularly make the room safer for older folks. That said, we made do quite nicely and loved our stay. Would definitely return!

Great West Tisbury location with lovely screened-in porch!

Our family (5 adults + 1 dog!) enjoyed our stay in this West Tisbury home. Great location -- close to Long Point and Lamberts' Cove beaches, as well as some great walking trails -- and we loved spending time on the large screened-in porch.

Best of Both Worlds

Our second annual stay in this property that is just as listed & in our opinion, supremely located. While it’s difficult to want to leave the perfect screen porch, one can easily get anywhere on island from this hamlet. The kitchen is nicely stocked to cook in while there are many local eats nearby. We look forward to our next visit!

Historic home in West Tisbury

The Captain's house is a fabulous home. This is the second year we've stayed there and we have found that it suits our needs perfectly. The bedrooms are spacious, bedding comfortable and the ceiling fans and AC units (new from 1 year ago) will keep you cool on sweltering nights. The living room and sitting room are ideal spaces for reading or simply quiet contemplation. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped, we used it daily. The screened in porch is definitely the highlight of the home, a perfect place to have a meal or a drink, and enjoy time with others, day or night. Other upsides: the outdoor shower is great when coming home from a day at the beach, a stay in the home gives one access to Lambert's Cove Beach, and the West Tisbury Farmer's Market (Wed/Sat) is around the corner. We look forward to a return visit next summer!

West Tisbury get away

We really enjoyed our stay here. We loved the beauty and associated quirky charm of this farmhouse. Even though it was June, we really lucked out with beautiful sunny weather. The big screened porch was a real hit for morning coffee and evening relaxation. We cooked almost every night, and had our meals both in the cozy dining room, as well as the porch. Saw my first firefly of the season on our last night! Host very responsive - with obvious new beach chairs and towels. Right around the corner from coffee place for those who had to work from home!

Sept in West Tisbury

Robert and Josh were exceptional in making our stay agreeable. We forget a vital pc cable and they developed a solution to allow us to work remotely. Above and beyond. Their property is centrally located to explore the Vineyard. Their screened porch was our home for the week. Simply marvelous. If you are a cyclist, the location is perfect. If you are a reader, they have an impressive library. The public library across the street is a gem.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful West Tisbury home. It's an historic property, but has ample modern amenities. We cooked a lot, so the well stocked kitchen was marvelous. The outdoor shower made evening transitions after long days at the beach pleasurable and the large screened in porch is where we spent all of our evenings. It was a truly lovely.
