Hotels in Martha's Vineyard
In the summer season, overnight lodging is expensive on Martha’s Vineyard. Prices start to come down to earth in the fall with great deals to be had in the winter and spring. But if you are set on visiting in summer, consider renting a cottage for a week, where you can take advantage of a kitchen for meals.

Beach Plum Inn
Under the same ownership as the Menemsha Inn next door, this upscale hotel has one of the island’s top restaurants, the Beach Plum Restaurant, on site. The main inn building and cottages are set in a 7-acre garden property with colorful flowers throughout. The rooms, some in cottages…Up Island - Hotel
Charlotte Inn
The hotel version of a Ralph Lauren advertisement, this stately inn in the center of town has a hushed quality about it. The rooms are full of intriguing antiques and knickknacks, elaborate boudoir sets and statuary. The rooms are all completely distinct. Take room 14: You enter…Edgartown - Hotel
Edgartown Inn
Built as the 1798 residence of the whaling captain Thomas Worth (see p. ###), this is perhaps the island’s oldest continuously operating lodging house. As other inns have become more and more pricey, this one has stayed fairly reasonable—making it one of the best lodging bargains on…$$Edgartown - Hotel
Harbor View Hotel & Resort
Still a grand old hotel, the Harborview occupies a commanding spot. Relaxing in a rocking chair on the huge verandah overlooking the harbor is something guests here have been doing for more than 100 years. The 114 rooms here are in three areas: the main building, the Governor Mayhew…Edgartown - Hotel
Hostelling International–Martha’s Vineyard
Set in a large forest in the geographic center of the island, this hostel isn’t the most conveniently located. Bikes are an option for getting around, but a shuttle bus also stops here. The facility is run with efficiency, and staff members are known for their friendliness, which,…$Up Island - Hotel
Isabelle’s Beach House
At what’s the best in a line-up of B&Bs across from the ocean in Oak Bluffs, you could while away the afternoon in a rocker on the front porch. As is typical with a converted Victorian house, some of the rooms are a tad small. There are plenty of old-fashioned touches, like…$$$Oak Bluffs - Hotel
Mansion House Inn
The inn at the corner of Beach and Main streets in Vineyard Haven has endured across more than two centuries, not to mention a few name changes and a few serious fires. Owned and operated by the Goldstein family since 1985, the Mansion House Inn has several things going for it,…$$$Vineyard Haven - Hotel
Menemsha Inn & Cottages
This is a casual down-to-earth place, a far cry from the touristy part of the Vineyard. It’s a brisk quarter-mile walk from this 25-acre estate to the center of the fishing village of Menemsha. But mostly a stay here is about getting away from it all. The Carriage House and the Tea…$$$Up Island - Hotel
Summercamp
This Victorian hotel, in continuous operation since 1879 (formerly known as The Wesley), has had a top-to-bottom upgrade and name change under new management, the Lark Hotel chain of boutique hotels. One of the larger hotels on the island, it overlooks Oak Bluffs Harbor, so many…$$Oak Bluffs - Hotel
The Captain R. Flanders House
This 1700s country farmhouse is on the west end of the island, on 60 rolling acres of farmland, with horses and sheep grazing and the aptly named Bliss Pond. The house, simply decorated with period antiques, has four rooms, with two that share a bathroom and two with private…$$Up Island - Hotel
The Christopher
This handsome old whaling captain’s house, a block from Edgartown Harbor, is now part of the Lark Hotel Group, which are boutique hotels with a playful sense of style. This is a very well-run property, spotlessly clean and well maintained. Rooms are freshly remodeled with colorful…Edgartown - Hotel
The Dockside Inn
The family-friendly Dockside is located just steps from Oak Bluffs Harbor. Its rooms are comfortable, though decor is upscale motel-like; they open onto a double-decker wrap-around balcony, and several rooms have views of the harbor. There are several clubs nearby, which may or not…$$Oak Bluffs - Hotel
The Hob Knob
This very stylish B&B was inspired by the owner’s grandparents, bon vivants who gallivanted around the Ohio countryside, overflowing silver tumblers in hand. Now an eco-friendly boutique hotel, the building has served as a lodging house since at least 1947, when a windblown…Edgartown - Hotel
The Jonathan Munroe House
A room in this elegant Victorian is a little less expensive than those in other B&Bs in Edgartown; it has a good location, across the street from the Whaling Church on Main Street but not in the thick of it. The rooms decorated with the likes of lacy canopy beds and floral…$$Edgartown - Hotel
The Oak Bluffs Inn
After seeing all the fancifully decorated gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs, you may want to stay in one yourself. Here it is, a big pink confection with elaborate trim and turrets. This is a terrific location for an easy walk to restaurants, shops, clubs, and the harbor. Rooms are…$$$Oak Bluffs - Hotel
The Victorian Inn
This handsome old whaling captain’s house is a block from Edgartown Harbor. This is a very well-run property, spotlessly clean and well maintained. Rooms are decorated in an old-fashioned style, with handsome antique reproductions, and some with romantic canopied beds. The breakfast…$$$Edgartown - Hotel
Vineyard Square Hotel
A large boutique hotel, centrally located in Edgartown, the Vineyard Square is in a complex that includes a salon and day spa, fitness center, art gallery, and boutique. The rooms have all been redone in recent years in what you might call “beach modern.” The more expensive ones have…$$$Edgartown - Hotel
Winnetu Oceanside Resort
This resort, set near one of the Vineyard’s best full-surf beaches, has more amenities than any other island resort—and prices to match. The rooms are all suites with one to four bedrooms. Winnetu is very much set up with families in mind. There is a children’s day program, a…Edgartown
