What guests think

At Vineyard Harbor Motel, guests repeatedly praise the waterfront setting steps from the ferry and the small private beach with harbor views, along with warm, accommodating staff, while noting rooms range from newly refreshed to dated and vary widely.

Many rooms include kitchenettes, and some have decks, which families and longer-stay guests appreciate. Drawbacks include thin walls and noisy window units, occasional maintenance issues or dated fixtures, no elevator, and tight parking with overflow across the street. Cleanliness is generally solid, but a minority report musty odors or bathroom mold in older units. Expect a simple, budget-minded stay with great access and friendly service.

I've stayed here three times now. The room with the Double bed was large enough for 4 people, along with a kitchen area, full fridge, cooking utensils, pots and pans, sink, microwave, etc. The courtyard is cute, with tables to sit at, free coffee 24/7, and the people at the desk are always super nice. They don't seem to have an ice machine, causing you to have to ask for ice, which isn't that big of a deal, but a bit inconvenient. The private beach is nice, but the water area is between two large docks, so a smaller swimming area. There are many loungers with umbrellas on the beach with a picnic table and even a grill. The best thing about this place to me is that they are far less expensive than most every other place on the island, BY FAR. Maybe because they are in Vineyard haven, which is a tiny town and most people want to stay at Oak Bluffs, especially as there's night life there, and much more shopping and restaurants. There is a gas station very close, as well as some shopping and even a supermarket. There's a breakfast place across the street. I'd easily recommend this motel and stay there again.

This is not a high end luxury hotel but has very clean and functional rooms. We had a well stocked kitchenette and a private beach with a great view of the harbor. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. If you are on any sort of budget, this place is a great deal!

This place is basically exactly as advertised. A basic motel with straightforward amenities. The private beach was great, though we were in town for concerts on Fri/Sat nights so we didn't spend much time there. Beds were comfortable. Room included a kitchenette and full sized refrigerator which was handy. Centrally located and a short walk from the ferry. Parking was a bit of a competition, as their main lot fills up. But the secondary lot is just across the street and free parking was really helpful for us. We would definitely stay here again if we are back out on the island.

Our room needed to be completely gutted. Paint was peeling, siding was water damaged, floors were coupled and there was a strong odor of possibly mold. Everywhere you looked, work needed to be done. Someone entered our room after we turned in for the night. Someone from the office came a bit later and said they made a mistake.

This did not meet our expectations. The bathroom has no ventilation system (such as a fan) and the ceiling tiles for the drop ceiling went into the bathroom and above the shower! And there was water leaking down from them into the shower 50% of the time which means there is definitely mold.

The room was reasonable size, but the bathroom was quite tiny. The door didn’t open all the way due to hitting the toilet. We managed though.

The room itself was quant, clean, well stocked and had a space heater which worked well as it was chilly. The beds were hard, pillows a bit flat. The walls are thin! You hear everything in the halls and in other rooms above/below and around you. The front desk staff were split, one nice younger girl and then the older women was extremely rude and crabby. Felt like she could have been retired and stayed there. She was not people friendly, no smile, no hello, not even a pleasant look for you. She should not be at the desk anymore. BEWARE the main hotel site says no bikes in your room. This app does not list that so being unaware I was met with serious rudeness, with no suggestions to find a common solution. My expensive road bike came in the room! I highly suggest updating all appropriate info on every platform so others are not met with this rudeness as well as replacing the older women or giving her a different job.

Booked a very quick one night in order to see a performance of The Shark is Broken at the MV Performing Arts Center. We were able to check in seamlessly. Brianna was so accommodating, cheerful and helpful. She allowed us to store our luggage the next day for a few hours after check out. Kitchen was extremely clean, fully stocked and comfortable. LOVED all the hooks and shelves in the bathroom as well as the extra room. The beach was very clean and the beach towels good size. We noticed that this part of MV was not nearly as crazy or busy as the other towns during JAWS summer madness. I would recommend this motel to couples and families. For sure, we will be back. Sorry we could only stay for one quick night. Shops, restaurants and buses make the island experience perfect.

Always welcomed us back every day. Room was cleaned everyday. Property is a bit dated but the excellent staff made up for it.

Being there in December, we couldn't take full advantage of the beachfront. It must be great in the summer. Loved the kitchen and full refrigerator. Also loved the location: walking distance to town, ferry terminal, restaurants. We've been coming to the Vineyard for amost 30 years, and never knew much about this place! A great find!
