We had a strange itinerary - an early afternoon arrival, a quick dash off to a wedding, and a crack-of-dawn departure, and the staff were positively wonderful. Our only regret was not building in more time to spend at the lovely spot. We will be back!

I used to stay at a much more expensive Motel in Vineyard Haven but I am definitely staying at the Hostel for all future visits. Very friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, great free breakfst and some extra nice touchs like loaning out Shower gel and Shampoo to guests at the hostel is not close to town. There is a bus in either direction every hour which connects to all parts of the Island. I definitely recomend visiting after Labour day as it is very relaxing.

This hostel was really nice and located in west tilbury, about a 30 min bus ride away from edgartown. Easy to get to on public transport! Hostel was really great and spacious however the girls dorm was quite cramped, we were lucky there were spare beds to put our bags. Breakfast was delicious! Helpful staff, would go back!

The staff was amazing... Just as an example - I was participating in a triathlon on the morning I stayed there, and the female staff woke up early to allow me to prepare my breakfast in the kitchen AND she had the coffee brewing!! Definitely above and beyond. And I was very much appreciative.
