Faraway Martha's Vineyard

We had a great experience. We had a suite in the Court House. Very nice layout, plenty of room and very clean. The king size bed was particularly comfortable.

Wonderful hotel located in the heart of town. Fo the most part the staff was wonderful (one of the front desk I could do without).

We were so excited to see the new changes after being taken over from the Kelley House(which we loved and miss) but found the Faraway extremely underwhelming for the overinflated nightly rate of $1400+ per night…higher than the Harbor View rates!! There is no in room mini fridge, coffee station, robe, or slippers provided. The shower looks like it belongs in a motel…or gym bathroom, it’s just an open alcove with a curtain rod/shower curtain. There is limited drawer storage, and the clothing rod in the closet is literally only 4ft above the floor so your clothes are pooling on the floor. There is a $50 bike rental fee…bikes are complimentary at the Harbor View. The decor is mediocre at best, and the room did not appear to have been vacuumed prior to our checking into it. We inquired about potentially checking out early, and were informed there is a no cancellation policy and we would would be charged the full rate. The front desk clerk did offer to ask the manager for the possibility of providing a credit for a future stay…. No Thank you!! The pool and cabana area are lovely and beautifully designed and the Pelican is a chic outdoor restaurant/bar however this is a 3 star hotel at best commanding 5 star rates. This is not in the same league as the Harbor View, they need to lower their price point accordingly or they won’t be in business in Edgartown for long.

Beautifully done hotel. Absolutely stunning decor! The rooms are modern and spacious. Love the height of the ceilings. The lobby is cozy, bright, and warm. Great amenities too. Most of the staff were AMAZING. The only reason I wouldn’t come back was because my family did not appreciate manager Rebecca (with the curly hair) questioning if we were guests of the hotel after she walked into the pool/gym area and saw us sitting in one of the cabanas. We were the only ones questioned while there were a few other families there. It was our last day and we (my parents and I) didn’t get to chill by the pool the few days prior because we were running around the island as well as visiting Nantucket, so I figured we can sit down, chat, and relax before checking out. The pool attendant was super lovely and then Rebecca came in. She pulled the pool attendant to the side, a few feet away from us, and asked her about us. The pool attendant came straight to us afterwards and asked “are you guests of the hotel” I said yes. She then asked for the room # which I gave. Then asked questions about our schedule and whether or not we were planning to come back to the pool (maybe because guests might and trespassers won’t?) The pool attendant was still lovely throughout, & she directly reported everything to Rebecca, who then left. We felt uncomfortable so we went to our room and waited there until checkout. I watched other guests arrive (some in swimwear, some not) & not get questioned. Disappointing

Excellent stay off season for business. Very comfortable.

We loved our little weekend getaway with Faraway!

Very nice, we got there right after a storm so conditions were the best. Hotel was in perfect location. I would give it 5 stars, but no air conditioning and no elevator bumps it down but overall very nice

Really enjoyed the location relative to the shops and restaurants in Edgartown, and the staff was delightful and fun, especially Cat !!

Beautiful place within the heart of downtown. Walkable with plenty of fine dining options. Unfortunately the building is old and the walls are paper thin. Gets very loud at night from the other guests.
