Martha's Vineyard
Free-spirited, nautical-modern boutique. Reclaimed wood and Edison bulbs in the pub, Byredo toiletries and Victrola record players in every room, vintage-cool beach towels by the pool. It's upscale without being stuffy — the kind of place that has a curated vinyl library but also sells sushi and slushies by the harbor.

Why It Matters
One of only a handful of Michelin Key-awarded properties on Martha's Vineyard. The original Kelley House dates to 1742 and served as a hub for whaling-era sea captains. The main building was also famously constructed to house the production crew for the filming of Jaws.
Faraway Martha's Vineyard is the reimagined version of the historic Kelley House, a property that has been hosting guests in the heart of Edgartown since 1742. Spread across six restored sea captains' homes with 58 rooms and suites, it pulls off the rare trick of feeling both old and cool at once. The hotel earned a Michelin Key, runs two solid on-site restaurants, and sits two minutes' walk from the Chappaquiddick Ferry — which tells you everything you need to know about how central the location is.
