About this business

Any account of the Harbor View's history must begin with Edgartown, its legendary birthplace. Settled in 1671, this early colony steadily came to be known as a prime port for whaling. And as that enterprise grew, so too did Edgartown, in both prominence and influence. In fact, by mid-1800, this bustling municipality had become the Vineyard's wealthiest. But as the whaling industry began to ebb, Edgartown officials turned their attention to a new source of prosperity: tourism. With ambitions of building the finest resort o... read more

Visiting the Harbor View Hotel It was a beautiful hotel and we enjoyed our stay there. At first we got a room with view to the pool and it was not a nice site at all, but then we changed to a better view facing the woods...the hotel is far from the city, not many choices to eat at any restaurants nearby. The food was expensive at the hotel and it was okay, the view from the breakfast dining room was gorgeous!!

In need of repair & updating Pros: Staff, location & views Cons: Rooms in "motel" area need overhauling-very dated & old building & furniture. Location: 15-20 min walk into Edgartown. It's better to have a car to get around however without GPS getting to/from of hotel in car was quite complicated. This hotel is in a lovely quiet residential area a bit of a walk out of Edgartown so be warned there's about a 15-20 min walk to get to stores & restaurants. The Victorian style building overlooks the harbor on nearly three sides &... read more

GO FOR GOLD ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD This is a most unusual hotel in that it is spread over a number of buildings, with the one containing most of the guest bedrooms connected to the one containing reception, bars and dining room. All the buildongs are of classic white clapboeard consrustion and are beautifully maintained. The service is not as slick as most 4* hotels, but the homely nature adds to the charm. The location is outstanding with views directly across Edgartown harbour to Chappaquidick Island, which can be easily rea... read more

Great location! We loved the Harbor View. It was a great location, right across the street from the lighthouse and walking distance to the village of Edgartown with all of the shops and restaurants. We stayed in the Governor Mayhew building which was nicely renovated and very comfortable. It is an older builder so the floors are very creaky and the bathroom was quite small. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Stick to the Summer Months A bit disappointing for Thanksgiving. The Mayhew Building is really a glorified Motel. No elevators and while only 3 stories, not an easy walk up with luggage (no bell service offered). Surprisingly "undecorated" for the Holiday season...a few springs of Bittersweet was about it. Have enjoyed the ambience of this property many times in the past (never stayed here) and would do so again...in the summer, sitting on the front porch.
