The Richard, the Edgartown Collection

Ellen and Kate are so friendly and accommodating. They greet you every morning like it’s a B & B. Breakfast was delicious every morning as well. They made a cake towel for my husband’s birthday too!! We really enjoyed our time at the Richard.

Clean, cozy, centrally located property. Tasty breakfast every morning. Coffee all day. Great recommendations for restaurants and other activities in the area. Would 100% return.

We are so happy that we stayed at the Richard. It’s a beautiful inn, and the rooms were perfect - cozy and bright. The location is great. It’s a quick stroll (less than 5 minutes) into the downtown area and to the waterfront. Kaitlyn was our hostess, running the day to day of the Inn. She was amazing! The Richard is lucky to have her. She was a ray of sunshine every day and was full of great recommendations for our stay. This is a wonderful property, and we highly recommend.

This well appointed boutique hotel was one the highlights of my three-day trip to the island. I have been to MV many times, but this felt like a piece of serene luxury - exactly my personal vibe. It was centrally located in Edgartown and I was able to walk to most of my day and evening destinations. The Richard had been on my list of hotels to stay at for a few years and it did not disappoint. It's clean and sophisticated with the just the right dose of richness, especially in the details. Especially noteworthy was service and genuine hospitality that I received from Kaitlyn and Katie - they were rockstars! Don't hesitate to stay here and carve some time out to spend in the beautiful courtyard!

Located in the heart of Edgartown, this hotel is fabulous!! We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. It is the only room on the top floor. It is spacious and spotless. The bedrooms are separated by a cute living area with comfortable furniture, mini fridge, TV, and even a wireless speaker for music! The breakfast that is served each morning is absolutely PERFECT with delicious, healthy, locally sourced items. During the day, warm cookies are provided for guests. If it’s raining, you will find a basket of ponchos waiting at the front desk. When the sun is shining, beach chairs and beach towels are within arm’s reach and a beautiful, noncrowded beach is within walking distance. We cannot say enough about the service at this hotel. Ellen checked us in and gave us some fabulous recommendations for dining and exploring. Katie is someone that you will never forget. She is absolutely precious and is willing to go above and beyond to make your stay just PERFECT. Thank you all for making our short stay in Edgartown super special!!

Admittedly on the super-expensive end of things, this place is charming, authentic, top-notch delightful and I would stay there again without hesitation without even checking to see if there were alternatives. Katey who was seemingly at the front desk 24/7 (although I think her "actual" hours are 7a-7p) is a wonderful ambassador for the property and the community generally. Our room was a 2-bedroom suite on the 3rd floor which made traveling with an adult child a bit more posh. The garden patio behind the house is large and manicured to perfection; I invited the gardener to please come back home with us and work on our garden beds (they take gardens in Edgartown very very seriously -- it's apparently considered very bad form not to have beautiful flower beds in front of your home). The breakfast here is a bit on the light side, but that's okay, because we quickly discovered that restaurants in Edgartown (even the casual ones) are very very good and we left Martha's Vineyard pledging to take a few days off from food entirely. The inn has but 16 rooms (I think?) and it's small enough that we only encountered other guests a few times and never heard a peep from any other rooms despite it being at full occupancy the entire time. The location is ideal, perhaps three blocks from the epicenter of Edgartown (so a 5-minute walk, if that) and on the edge of one of the prettier and more historic residential neighborhoods. We really enjoyed our four nights here and again thank Katey -- her tips for walks and tours and sails and eateries and ice cream and bike rides were all so, so helpful and she's genuinely one of the happiest people I've met in a while. We hope she'll be at the desk again next summer.
