The Captain’s Cottages--the Harbor View Hotel's luxury condo/suites--are the latest section of the famed Edgartown hotel to undergo a major renovation.

After welcoming islanders and guests for more than 130 years, the hotel was [recently renovated](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/2020/06/19/harbor-view-hotel-reopens/) and refurbished by its new owners who poured more than $15-million into a wide range of upgrades.

The completion of the [Cottages](https://harborviewhotel.com/marthas-vineyard-accommodations/captains-cottages)' make-over represent yet another milestone in the owners' efforts to transform the hotel into a world-class, luxury travel destination. (See awards below to see how they have succeeded.)

#### The Captain Collins Cottage

And now, one of them--the [Captain Collins Cottage](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/properties/131-north-water-street-edgartown/)\--is for sale. Featuring 2-BRs/2BAs, this first-floor residence offers fresh and inviting living spaces with furnishings that evoke Vineyard style and life lived near the sea. Complete with its own outdoor shower. [See more information and photos here.](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/properties/131-north-water-street-edgartown/)

[![Captain's cottages](/images/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.33.32-PM.png)](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.33.32-PM.png) _Upgrades include white linens and fresh wicker._

Each cottage received about $30,000 in improvements, including glossy white linens, fresh wicker and nautical stripes. And, new, upscale furnishings helped create a classic New England ambiance accented by a gas fireplace and kitchenette.

The cottages are just a short walk down a blossom-filled walkway from the Harbor View's main building. Edgartown’s center with its restaurants, movies, and shops is a comfortable walk away, too.

#### Downtown with White Picket Fences

[![Captain's cottages](/images/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.34.10-PM.png)](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.34.10-PM.png)

The cottages' exterior has been burnished, too. Here you'll find their classic New England architecture embraced by beautiful landscaping and white picket fences.

The cottages also feature relaxing front porches that overlook the hotel pool and great lawn.

Featuring one, two, and three bedrooms, they are available for [stays](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/2020/11/16/harbor-view-hotel-packages/) of one night and longer (and occasionally come up for purchase).

[![Captain's cottages](/images/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.37.10-PM.png)](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.37.10-PM.png) _Cottages have an upscale condo feel, complete with front porch._

The newly upgraded residences are maintained and marketed just like a luxury hotel suite year-round and are in high demand, according to the hotel manager.

Vacationers can now find the Harbor View Hotel and the Cottages on luxury travel networks such as Virtuoso, Signature, and American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts.

#### Captain's Cottages: Condos with Hotel Amenities

[![Captain's cottages](/images/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.33.48-PM.png)](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.33.48-PM.png)

While the Captain's Cottages look and feel like an upscale condominium, they, in fact, enjoy all the benefits of traditional hotel services.

Daily maid service, housekeeping, room service, concierge, daily breakfast, use of a luxury car and more are all part of a stay, whether it is a guest generated by the hotel or the owner.

#### A 'Best New Hotel'

[![Captain's cottages](/images/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.33.59-PM.png)](https://vineyardopenhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screen-Shot-2021-06-29-at-7.33.59-PM.png) _Cottages offer one, two or three bedrooms._

The Harbor View's renovations have not gone unnoticed. The hotel has been recognized by numerous national publications and the travel media, including _Travel & Leisure_, which featured it in its ‘2021 Editors’ Picks of the Best New Hotels in the World.’

**Vineyard Summer Celebrations**

Dear Friends,

It's October, but let's not let summer memories slip away too quickly, not just yet. (See photos below.) The **World Series** is coming in a few days and that reminds us that the **MV Sharks** made it to the post-season once again. **Sunsets** continue to be gorgeous, especially in the spectacular fall light. The **ferry** still brings people and the promise of Vineyard fun. **Backdoor Donuts** still has a few sugar highs to induce. And **beaches** are always made for thoughtful walking no matter the season.

We at Vineyard Open House are grateful to have been able to provide **another year** of **service** to our friends and clients and celebrate the successful launch of our **Rental Division** last spring. The [**new VOH website**](www.vineyardopenhouse.com) was launched just last week (try it to see more then 370 listings online). Our first **fall listing** came on the market two weeks ago (see below) with the expectation of another in Vineyard Haven soon.

And, we had a **wonderful turnout** of more than 40 people attending our **3rd open house** held at the VOH office on Sept. 25 (photos below). We greatly appreciate the continued support of our friends, family and clients. And we look forward to continuing to provide world-class service to the island year-round and to your real estate needs.--_David Lott, Owner/REALTOR_

**Whither Mortgage Rates?**

Rates are down as world economies react to the slowdown in China. A Fed rate hike looks more and more like it won't happen until 2016. Rates below are for 30- and 15-year, no-point mortgages up to $417,000. Ask your banker for jumbo and other mortgage product rates.

_**30 Year Fixed Rate**         **15 Year Fixed Rate**  
Martha's Vineyard Bank    3.99%                          3.375%      
Santander Bank                   3.875%                        2.99%    
Cape Cod 5                            3.75%                          3.00%_

**Market Update**

In a word, the real estate market is 'up.' One hundred and three (**103**) homes were **sold** on Martha's Vineyard in **June - August**, up from 76 sales in the same time period last year, a **35% increase**. In fact, every month this year, except for May, showed more homes selling than in 2014.

**Prices** are going **up**, too, For the year, homes island-wide have sold in 2015 at **125%** of **assessed value**, up from 110% of assessed value last year. This is **good news** for **sellers.**

There is **good news** for **buyers** as well. There were 52 new listings in August alone and **371 homes** on the market. That's a **lot** of homes from which to choose. The absorption rate (time it would take to sell all available listings) still ranged from 12 months in Oak Bluffs to 25 months in Chilmark. The months of lingering on the market exerts **rising pressure** on sellers to lower their asking prices. And in a secondary market like the Vineyard, buyers often choose to let that pressure work **in their favor**.

These stats tell you we are a **good ways** from having a seller's market. However, with homes spending **shorter time** on the market than in past years, buyers are, in fact, acting more quickly to grab the more attractively priced (and sometimes furnished) homes. The **cream of the crop** in their respective price ranges are the first to go. Sellers stubbornly waiting to get their price are going to continue **to wait.**

**T**here's a story that goes with this wonderful vacation rental in West Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard. I had been showing homes for more than 13 months to the lovely, young couple who now owns it. After viewing 63 homes (and a total of 66) and enduring two unsuccessful offers, we turned into a long driveway.

The driveway was lined with trees that partially obscured a comely two-story home with silvery cedar-shingle siding and a red-brick center chimney. A deep emotional feeling came over everyone in the car and we just looked at each and knew: We had found that special Vineyard home.

When we went inside, our thoughts were confirmed as we went from room to room--from the relaxing living room with fireplace to the rough pines walls of the writer's room on the second floor.

Here, especially, was a room made for creativity--complete with a pair of windows flanking a simple wood desk crowned by a manual typewriter with a sheet of paper already set in it and waiting for the first inspired taps on the keys.

Set on two acres with a generous front deck and screened-in porch, this island retreat is perfect for families who want to reconnect, yet be near classic Vineyard experiences such as the iconic Alley's General Store, the Field Gallery, the new West Tisbury Library, the old Grange and its weekly Farmers' and Artists' Markets and Look's Pond.

A total of four bedrooms can accommodate up to eight people, plus there's a pull-out futon in the living room for extra guests.

You'll have easy access to great restaurants, but you'll prefer grilling on the deck and lazing on the screened-in porch. Amenities include gas grill, lobster pot, two flat-screen TVs, high-speed WiFi, basic cable and Netflix.

_Simple pleasures such as sitting down and eating with family are revived here._

Weekly and monthly rentals are available. And since these photos were taken, rooms have been repainted, new furniture has been added and the kitchen restocked.

Best of all, from your vacation home here, you can take advantage of access to private Lambert's Cove beach, or ramble along the path to a private pond and enjoy a sunrise/sunset paddle.--_David Lott_
