Hotels near Chilmark, MA

“We recently returned to the Menemsha Inn after almost 10 years, and it was exactly how I remembered it: quiet, beautiful views, and wonderfully secluded from the rest of the island.

The cottages are well appointed with everything you need. They’re not overly fancy, but they have exactly what you need to relax and enjoy your stay. I definitely recommend making sure your cottage or room has an ocean view—it’s worth it.

Overall, everything was amazing. Breakfast was great, and they also offered two different dinner experiences twice a week. Otherwise, you can find everything you need in the town of Menemsha, and alcohol or other items can be delivered from elsewhere on the island if needed.

I highly recommend the Menemsha Inn. It’s one of the best hidden gems on Martha’s Vineyard. While it’s a little farther out, that’s really part of what makes it so special.

We will absolutely be back.”

“We stayed here on the last night of our honeymoon and wish we spent more nights here. Situated on/around small farms with panoramic views of Menemsha beach. We stayed on the main historic house, which was made from wood from shipwrecks, with updated rooms and amenities. We took a short walk from the inn to the beach for some sun, lobster, and sunset, then shared some wine on their porch. They also have access to private beaches for guests. Breakfast was top notch - we had the chia pudding and coffee - Costa Rican single origin beans sourced by a local roaster. The manager was super friendly made us feel so welcome.”

“We visited for the Fourth of July weekend and had the most amazing stay. The hospitality was truly incredible and it felt like home. From the daily breakfast to the complimentary snacks/ beverages and bike rentals, I will be recommending this place to all our friends and family! Thank you Simon and Annabelle for a lovely stay.”

“We were celebrating a wedding anniversary with cousin from London. The ambiance in the garden was very romantic, and the meal was outstanding. Our cousins who had traveled extensively said it was the best meal of their trip!”

“Remodeled older home that's a very nice place to stay. Quiet room, cozy size, comfortable bed. Newly painted and remodeled from how it looked. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Short walk to dining locations down the street.”

“Needed an escape on my only days off and I’m so lucky I found this cute little motel right on the water! Brianna is so warm and so kind. She really made me feel right at home and gave excellent recommendations for lunch spots! Thanks:)”

“A totally magnificent stay. The hotel is immaculate. Housekeeping perfect and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Complimentary breakfast every morning. Great location and make certain to eat at attached “9” restaurant. Delicious. Our best meal of our trip which included Cape Cod. Make sure to have the swordfish and enjoy YOUR OWN bottle of wine on their rooftop deck.”

“first off I feel like some of the 1 star reviews for this place are people who have never been on the island before. Unless you’re renting a house most hotels are old and rickety here. With that said, for the price and location this place is pretty good! The room was the perfect size to share with my partner, it was clean, and really quiet. I’m sure if there were some rowdy guests it wouldn’t be as quiet since the walls are somewhat thin but noise really wasn’t an issue. Additionally, there’s a community kitchen and lounge area which were super clean, so if you’re staying multiple days and want to save some money cooking, it’s great to have that option.

Location is great and convenient to the bus that takes you around the island and if you’re walkers like us you could take the 2 mile walk to oak bluffs. Also directly in front of downtown tisbury with more “higher end” restaurants than oak bluffs has to offer. Stop and shop is also right across the street for grocery needs and Cumberland farms that stays open untill midnight for some late night snacking.

If you want a more 5 star experience edgartown will be more for you, and you’ll definitely pay that price. But if you’re here because you genuinely enjoy the island, and plan to spend most of your time outdoor, this is a great option.”
