Hotels in Martha's VineyardA historic luxury seaside resort overlooking Edgartown Harbor
8.5/10
A strong Vineyard splurge for harbor views, helpful staff and classic seaside character.
Harbor View is a historic luxury seaside resort whose strongest assets are its lighthouse-facing veranda and walkable Edgartown location. We'd choose it for a special-occasion Vineyard escape rather than sheer value. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, comfortable beds and well-kept rooms; Booking.com reviews reproduced by Planet of Hotels reinforce the cleanliness praise. Bettini, complimentary bicycles and golf-cart rides to town round out a convincing resort experience.
Choose your building and view carefully: Roxana rooms overlook the pool or village, not the signature harbor panorama. Some recent guests report temperamental climate control, while the family-friendly pool won't always deliver quiet lounging. Resort and destination fees further weaken value, and the outdoor pool is seasonal. We'd skip it if you want an adults-only atmosphere or expect every room to deliver the postcard view.
