What a wonderful place to stay! I like the other review had suite #4 at a $137.12 a night a complete steal (off season rate) WE were there May 24-25th 2007 - the pictures on the website are very real - the suite had a sitting area with extra books for reading...a wonderful little kitchen area...and the bedroom and bath had nice linens....the only draw back, and it probably wouldn't matter later in the season is that the location is on the road to the ferry over to Chappy....the workmen arrived around 7:00 am to line up trucks to get over for the day of work...we had windows open, but I am sure with the air conditioner on no one would hear them....the accommodations are convenient. It was our anniversary so they even had placed a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator for us...very thoughtful and nice touch. We have been in Edgartown many times before and this was just an overnight...we usually have a cottage we stay at for 2-4weeks. but it was a wonderful stay and I would recommend it to others....Light House beach is not a long walk and you could do without a car...the bus will take you to South Beach too -there are tours on the island by bus...enjoy your stay if you go. The shops in Edgartown were just beginning to open up -have a wonderful stay!!!

Had a great stay at Lightkeepers. The suite we stayed in was perfect, could have brought the kids (nahh!) Full sized kitchen, everyhting we needed. Could have moved in and stayed longer. We were even lucky enough to have the weather on our side.

The best is location, we could we to everything. Unfortunately, the town is just waking up from its winter slumber. The only negative was when we had to drive from town to Katama for special dinner at the winnato's Lure. Not a good dinner, don't understand what they think "fine dining" is. That is a seperate review though.

Summary- go to the lighthouse, go to katama for the beach (not dinner)

We have just returned to the UK from a stay at the Lightkeepers Inn on Marthas Vineyard. We stayed 6 nights and were welcomed on arrival to the property and were more than satisfied with the accommodation offered. We stayed in Suite 4 and found this to be very comfortable and quiet - a complete home from home. During our stay we used the public transport system and explored every corner of the island using one ot the multi journey tickets which were excellent value. Many times we had the bus to ourselves and the drivers were very informative about the island on our different trips. Just like our very own guided tour. Particularly memorable was our visit to Menemsha. For food in Edgartown I would recommend The Newes from America and Among the Flowers Cafe. Many of the restaurants were not open as we were there very early in the season but this did not detract from a wonderful stay in excellent accommodation.

For a completely relaxing holiday I would highly recommend the Lightkeepers Inn in early May.

The Lightkeepers Inn has 5 rooms and a cottage, all equipped with bedroom, bathroom, and a delightful little living, dining, kitchen area. It is very well equipped (they even provide half-n-half in the refrigerator) and it is exceptionally clean. You feel as though you were the first peson to stay there. The two drawbacks to this location are that it's about 6 feet from the road that serves as overflow for cars trying to get on the Chappy ferry. The other is that it's an old house and sound carries easily. I imagine the second floor in the back is probably the quietest location -- if I come here again, I'll try booking the cottage or Suite 5; after that I'd choose a room in descending order, Suite 1 being the noisiest. They do everything within their power to make it a delightful stay. I would recommend it.
