We stayed in Boston for 5 nights but decided to fly to Martha's Vineyard for 1 of them. Booked the inn based on reviews and it exceeded our expectations. It is not like anywhere else I have ever stayed. Our room, No 17, appeared to have freshly decorated and beautifully furnished with antiques, not my usual taste, but done so... More

Spent three nights in the Coach House Suite this past weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. The inn keepers and owners were nothing but cordial, friendly and helpful. The grounds are private and beautiful, the stunning Terrace Restaurant 5 stars dinner/breakfast, location is great. Honestly can't say enough, will absolutely return.

This is a wonderful inn for a quiet romantic retreat on Martha's Vineyard. The location is excellent - downtown Edgarton, and the gardens and sitting rooms are exquisite. Children under 16 are not allowed so it is very quiet. Each room is decorated with antiques and the innkeepers are just wonderful.

We recently spent a fall weekend at the Charlotte Inn so I could introduce my favorite island to my significant other. I have stayed at the Inn before but never in the fall. It was a lovely and cozy weekend and I was amazed at how beautiful the grounds looked even without the flowers and greenery one enjoys in the... More

Words cannot describe the beauty and warmth of The Charlotte Inn. The only thing that surpasses the warmth of the inn is the warmth of the innkeepers, Gary and Paula. Carol, the hostess, was equally as warm and made sure we were well take care of. There is no other place on the island and few in North America that... More

Truly a luxury property with fabulous rooms, incredible artwork, and period antiques in public spaces and guest rooms. Great location in center of village. Owners were very friendly and intimately involved with day to day activities. Entire staff very professional. In spite of luxurious atmosphere, never felt stuffy or snobbish. Breakfast also great but surprised it was not included in... More

Quite simply an exquisite establishment in every respect even bearing in mind our visit coincided with the restaurant being closed awaiting a new license. This did not detract at all from the friendly and truly professional attitude of the management and staff. The rooms have to be seen to be believed and we can truly say that in so many... More

Really nothing more to say...the attention to detail and customer service is like no other! The location is perfect. The staff will jump through hoops to accomodate your needs...for me that was picking up an Anniversary gift for my husband from one of the beautiful shops in Edgartown and having it in the room when we returned from dinner. Indeed,... More

We checked in on August 21st and were greeted by the wonderful staff at Charlotte Inn. It was like arriving at a home away from home. The décor is very elegant and you can tell that a lot of effort is put into making it homy all whilst sharing its historical treasure. The owners are very friendly and attentive. When... More

If you're looking to relax and enjoy an elegant room in the perfect edgartown location, this place is for you. It's expensive, but reasonable given the quality and comfort of the room and the service of the staff. We had a nice big room (#17) that was on the top floor with a lot of windows. Huge, lovely bathroom. Huge,... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Listed as one of the "Top 101 Hotels in the World" by Tatler's 2012 Travel Guide and a long-standing member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux small luxury hotel group, The Charlotte Inn is settled just a half block off Main Street and two blocks from the harbor-front in downtown Edgartown. Among 4 buildings are 17 guest rooms and 2 suites individually decorated with fine antiques in a wonderful English garden setting. The Charlotte Inn provides guests with what we consider the "ultimate luxury" - a glimpse back in time to a more peaceful and restful frame of mind. A visit to The Charlotte Inn - from an overnight or a week vacation - is an opportunity to escape from the hectic, rushed, technology and gadget driven daily routine and enjoy the simpler things life has to offer. With all that Martha's Vineyard has to enjoy as your daily playground - from beaching, boating, fishing, and sightseeing, to fine dining and shopping, to simply strolling along the historic whaling captain’s home lined streets along the harbor and down to the lighthouse, The Charlotte Inn offers our guests a relaxing home away from home to retreat to and an opportunity to cherish life's simpler times. Whether iced-tea on the porch with a good book, chatting with friends and fellow guests on a garden terrace, or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire with your companion in cooler weather, we hope that our guests embrace the opportunity to join us in the experience we work so hard to provide - a getaway from the stress and pressures of today’s fast-paced lifestyle and a chance to enjoy a peaceful reprieve in an atmosphere that is the perfect combination of elegance, luxury and comfort. Nothing satisfies us more than to provide our guests with this experience, and to watch them enjoy, unwind and cherish their time spent at The Charlotte Inn in the way that we prefer and as our adage suggests - "Behind The Times on Purpose". ... more   less
