Darling, cozy property in a great location with a convenient kitchen but could use some new carpet or flooring and beds. A little worn out. The staff was very helpful and location couldn’t be beat but definitely could use some renovations.

Very good location, especially for the price. Room was nice and cozy, except for outdated/old carpet but would not prevent me from staying here again.

Dear Michelle,Thank you for the review you gave us. We appreciate your constructive comment regarding the carpet. During the winter this year we will be doing a "refresh" on each of the suites. We look forward to seeing you here again for your next Martha's Vineyard vacation at The Lightkeepers Inn!Best regards, Pat

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.

The property is close to attractions. We found it to be quiet and peaceful. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The cons were that the unit we stayed it was a tight fit for a family of two adult and two small children. No way 4 adults could fit there. Also it was a bit pricey for what it was. Would recommend to a couple.

Perfect Gem
Anne was very kind, it was a great quiet spot so close to downtown but just far enough out of the fray to be quiet. We stayed with my wife and 2 year old daughter and the setup is perfect for a small family given the living room and bedroom. We put her to bed in the bedroom each night then moved her to the pullout air bed at our bedtime. She’s too big for a pack and play so this setup was ideal. Very clean, very responsive…will be returning!

Lightkeepers Inn is located a 3 minute walk from DT Edgartown and the water. We wanted to experience the MV lifestyle and did not want hotel style stay. LKI is exactly what we were looking for in MV, Convenient, Quaint & Clean. We stayed in the East Chop Suite, although on the second floor had a large private deck surrounded by beautiful flowers and perfect for starting the day with coffee, ending the day with a glass of wine and perfect for reading. Sincere thanks to Annie and Heidi for a wonderful stay.

This place is very close to the shopping area by the water of Edgartown. It's quiet and you can park right by your room (convenient when you need something from your car). The staff do a good job cleaning your room. We used the sofa bed, cooked and left dirty dishes in the sink and when we returned, everything was clean and the sofa bed was put away. The only thing I dislike is there is no vent in the bathroom and in the kitchen. However, I would definitely return to this place.
