About this property

Morse Lighthouse-Waterfront home in Edgartown

You are right on the water in this exquisite waterfront property. Watch the action from your own private deck. Featured in Architectural Digest and designed by long-time island resident who has made an art form of designing iconic island properties.

You are located at the start of Morse Street, steps from Edgartown's famous North Water Street, and close to dining and shopping. Morse Street was named for Captain Odborn Morse whose house is also a vacation rental and is located on the NW corner of Morse and North Water Street.

Four beautiful island beaches are within walking distance, although with this view, you will have a hard time moving. You look out across Edgartown Harbor towards Chappaquiddick Island. To your left is the Edgartown lighthouse, and to your right is the heart of the harbor, the Memorial Wharf, and the Chappaquiddick ferry boat. Sunrise will be spectacular, and at sunset, the entire scene is lit by the sun that sets over your right shoulder.

Evening dining is gracious and easy, with seating for 12 at an ample dockside table and custom built-in grill.

There are three large bedrooms, all with their own baths. Two are on the 1st floor with a large den. The 2nd floor has a great room with the 3rd bedroom at the Great. The kitchen is open up to the large great room that combines a dining and living area. True open-plan living with spectacular views of the harbor.

The decoration is nautical, as you might expect, and everything is of the highest quality. The home was redone this winter and truly sparkles.
Shared parking area for two cars.

A few words about this listing.
I took all of the photographs with my iPhone 15 ProMax this fall. The light was not great, and the pools (if the property has one) were covered. I tried to get a professional photographer to take them but it was hard to do and coordinate a time when these properties were empty as they are quite busy.
Some of the beds are not even set up yet. This is indicative of how much this owner cares for these properties (we represent five on them) that he is always fixing them up, adding heavy furniture, and making everything super nice.
While we have attempted to confirm every detail, there is the possibility that we might have missed something. These are new listings and we are only too human.
If you have any questions at all about the booking please feel free to ask me about them. I have personally visited each one, and they are all amazing.

The Security Deposit is $5,000 or 10% of the rental rate, whichever is higher
This property is now allowing well-behaved pets
The pet fee is $2,500 with an additional $2,500 security deposit
The cleaning fee to maintain this large compound is based on an estimate of at least $1,000 per stay. This includes all linens with each bed made and the home presented as immaculate.
A full interim cleaning fee of $1,000 is required for multi-week bookings.

Wonderful house and location

The house has a magnificent 180 degree view of the harbor and is in a perfect location to walk to all downtown Edgartown shops/restaurants and the lighthouse (Children’s beach). Very clean and luxurious Matouk bedding and towels. The lower level den could use more lighting, the room is basked in natural sunlight but dark after sunset. We stayed off season with just us as a couple, and another couple for a total of 4 on a few nights. House was comfy and spacious for us. Would stay again.
