A well-located waterfront hotel in the heart of Edgartown — large property, heated pool overlooking the harbor, and walkable to shops, restaurants, and the ferry. Best for travelers who prioritize location and views over boutique style.
Why We Chose It
A classic waterfront resort in the heart of Edgartown, the Harborside Inn blends historic Vineyard charm with relaxed, full-service amenities. Set directly on Edgartown Harbor, the property spans multiple historic buildings with a mix of harbor-view rooms and quiet garden-facing accommodations. The setting is the draw—boats passing just beyond the lawn, fire pits along the water, and one of the most central locations on the island for walking to restaurants, shops, and the lighthouse. The inn offers a resort-style experience without feeling overly formal, featuring a heated waterfront pool, private dock access, and concierge services to arrange island activities. Rooms are comfortable and well-equipped rather than ultra-luxury, making it a go-to for both families and couples seeking a polished but easygoing stay. With its marina, outdoor gathering spaces, and consistent service, it delivers one of the most complete and convenient stays on Martha’s Vineyard.
