Harborside Inn

My best friend had a coworker that couldn’t use their timeshare so we ponied up the maintenance fee to stay. I could only stay one night so I didn’t utilize many of the Inn’s amenities.
We stayed in a room with two double beds. They offer a roll away cot for $ 25 (complimentary if you’re during your timeshare slot). Nice room with a fridge and a decent size closet. Bathroom is on the small side, but the stand up shower was nice.
Pool outside and a lovely view of the harbor. They have a community kitchen from what I saw with plenty of seating. Plenty of restaurants and shops really close. Parking is a good ways away from the hotel itself, but unless you have mobility issues it isn’t bad.
My interactions with the front desk was pleasant. They scheduled my cab for me and were incredibly pleasant in general.
I’m not sure how much this place is normally. Comparable to places in Nantucket during the height of tourist season I’m sure. A really nice place though.

We visit Martha’s Vineyard three to four times a year and from our experience, this is the worst place that we have stayed. We have stayed here on two separate occasions, and both times we had bad experiences. This past trip, we booked two rooms for two nights and paid the entire amount several months in advance, as required. We were told that one of the parties (in one room) would have to change rooms during the stay. This meant checking out at 11 AM and checking in again in a different room that same afternoon at 4 PM. We were also told that the staff would move our belongings to the new room. Luckily, we chose to take most of the belongings to the other room we booked but we did leave a few items in the room to be moved. None of the items made it to the new room and the staff said they had no recollection of anything being in the room. Good thing we didn’t leave all of our items. We checked out the next day and someone in our party forgot their swimming trunks. I called thinking maybe they would have found them — long shot that didn’t pay off. The staff were very rude and not at all helpful or accommodating. It is noisy, and the rooms smell moldy. The location is nice, but there are other choices. We won’t be back.

This is a great deal for Martha’s Vineyard, especially right in downtown edgartown. I only knew this because a friend told me, but if you call and ask about their smallest rooms (couldn’t find it online), you can get an amazing deal! You’re in a great location and the amenities are very adequate, why do you need a big room anyway?! Any they are right on the harbor and have a pool. Will definitely be coming back here.

Modest room, looks like it was done over (same with bathrooms). Stayed on 4^th floor (be aware, no elevators here!) but boy, what a beautiful view of the harbor. just gorgeous! Nice pool, lovely grounds. Perfect location. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Room extremely small but great location. Friendly guests and staff.

Nice place to chill
This is a beautiful and updated combo timeshare/​hotel in the very heart of Edgartown right on the water. Its ultra charming and old from the 1800’s and you cant beat the location. I was lucky enough to get an exchange here for a nice week. Rooms have been updated this year and there is nice bedding a mini fridge and small 19″ flat screens. Nicely updated bathrooms on the small side but fine. My room did not have a view but was by one of the front doors and the noise from that was loud, people coming and going tend to slam that door hard and the walls are thin. Also my room was on the front street however the windows are soundproof and I was not bothered by street noise, just the doors.
If your an RCI member or owner here you can use the community kitchen and washer/​dryers. There are shared fridges and stoves and plenty of everything to cook with. Theres also a semi-​heated pool. Daily maid service is nice too. The resort closes 6 months a year in the winter. I would stay here again its a good choice but try to get a room overlooking the harbor with the balcony for the most bang for your bucks.
Room Tip: Try to get a room with the balcony views away from the street

We stayed two nights at the Harborside Inn this past week. We had a wonderful time! Our room was on the third floor… no elevator, but it kinda added to the charm of it. The view from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking. It was our first visit to Martha’s Vineyard and this hotel is very centrally located in Edgartown.
Pros– Great location, friendly staff, Beautiful view and clean.
Cons– Rooms are kinda dated, small bathroom with no counterspace, no elevator and they do not have an onsite restaurant.
I would stay here again :)

Beautiful rooms, great location, wonderful staff… rooms were very pricey though

I booked a marina view room with king size bed for a few days in July which was my first visit to the Harborside Inn.
The Haborside Inn should not be confused with the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown which is a more upscale hotel. The Harborside rooms are neat and clean but small and the bathroom was so tight I personally had little room to rest on the water closet. The room had a small flat screen TV which was fine and the good AC unit, ceiling fan, small table and chairs.
The Harborside is more like a large motel than a Inn and for the pricey 400+ a night room I’ve had much better on the island but it is a good place to stay if you have a few children and want to be in downtown Edgartown. My only real complaint was the bathroom size and the thickness of the walls and ceiling because you can hear your neighbors walking around. At 400+ a night I probably will find another place to stay not because the Harborside is a bad place but because in my view its not a good value of my money compared to other places in Edgartown.
I rated the Harborside with two stars.

I had visited MV a couple of years back and we bumped into the Harborside because of the amazing view and POOL. We stayed for 3 nights this past weekend and could not have hoped or asked for a better place to stay. I had done some research thru TripAdvisor before booking, reviews are not great. However everything everyone else complained about we did not encounter. Yes there are owners there and yes they have access to kitchens and BBQ’s. But hey we were on vacation and I’m pretty sure the last thing any of us (6) wanted was too cook our own meal. Our room faced the street which others had complained about but it never bothered us. By the way I like silence when I sleep and the street noise never bothered me. Beautiful views and relaxation areas… couldn’t ask for a better location.
