The 114-room Harbor View Hotel & Resort overlooking the Edgartown lighthouse and Chappaquiddick Island, welcomes this summer's guests to help cut the red ribbon, as the hotel opens after the completion of Phase II of its restoration and enhancement program. The $77 million renovation will incorporate elegant upgrades and high-end amenities while still preserving the historic design and feel that has welcomed generations of families and returning guests for more than 100 years. Beyond renovated suites and restaurants, Harbor View created an array of new activities for guests of all ages; including a boating activities program – complete with a small fleet of sail boats for young adults to learn sailing, a Harbor View Kids club; and mini-excursions to Martha’s Vineyard pristine beaches.  All activities are exclusive to our guests at Harbor View Hotel & Resort and Kelley House. 

Renovated Captain’s Cottages, each outfitted with a tile bathroom, outdoor shower, fully-appointed wet bar and casual living and dining areas, are perfectly suited for couples and families seeking an unique escape only found on Martha's Vineyard. Set apart from the main hotel, the 18 suites provide ample space to lounge around while getting ready for dinner at the newly-renovated The Water Street  Restaurant, formerly the Coach House restaurant. Award-winning Executive Chef Joshua Hollinger dishes out local fare – created and handpicked from the Island’s own seasonal selection. There’s also the Henry's Bar where guests can enjoy a casual menu, the Vineyards finest wine list and New England Micro Brews.

As the water lures guests each year, the new Harbor View water activities invites those seafarers to experience Edgartown from the other side of the shore. The hotel’s 39-foot center console boat, the Ripper or Stardust, takes guests on day adventures to Chappy and Cape Pogue Bay; and evening cruises around the harbor. The boats are also available for private charter – the perfect end to a day on the Vineyard.

Harbor Kids & Family Activities
Harbor View’s youngest guests can now enjoy age-specific programs with Harbor Kids, open to kids ages 3-12 yrs old. Daily activities range from “Explore the Shore,” where children have the opportunity to partake in a favorite pastime, snorkeling and using nets to learn about crabs, fish, non-stinging jellyfish and shrimp in the Poucha Pond; to everyone’s favorites: arts & crafts, sing-alongs and play-acting. 
For the Family,  The Fabulists are a troupe of dedicated Vineyard Playhouse actors and writers who perform witty adaptations & fun new scripts for children every Saturday during the summer. Your kids will “ham-it-up” with lots of improvisation and audience participation!
