Lovely room, separate bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking those large lobsters from the local fisheries in Menemsha. Clise to everything in Edgartown. A big plus was a parking space for the car. Rooms have private entrances. Almost dont want to write a great review, there may not be a room for me once this gem is discovered.

Light keepers inn review

Very good overall and super comfortable bed. Nice and helpful host. The only minor negative is the couch was uncomfortable with cushions that had no support. Needs replacing. Overall B plus.

The property looks much better than its pictures. It’s in a very good location, walkable to the ferry or the bus stop not to mention all the shopping and dining varieties. Our rooms were very clean, but there is carpet in the main living space. If you are a coffee drinker, bring your own. They provided an old style coffee maker, (not a Keurig) and the coffee was horrible. So we still had to go out for coffee.

Perfect location. Very close to the Main Street with all the shops. No need to drive a car. The staff working are very friendly. The room I had was older than the photos online. The fridge did not have a handle and was old. The carpet is also old with some stains. I had a second level room and the stairs are not wide. If you are a senior or have kids I won’t recommend the second floor room. I will recommend this Inn and will stay again when visiting Martha’s Vineyard. With parking and a convenient location I can’t ask for anything more.
