Local Attractions
Edgartown Lighthouse & Lighthouse Beach One of the town's most beloved landmarks, the Edgartown Lighthouse sits at the entrance to Edgartown Harbor. Built in the early 19th century, it's a picturesque spot with a small beach area perfect for relaxing, photographing, or watching boats drift by. Historic Downtown Edgartown Edgartown itself is a quintessential New England seaside village with tree-lined streets, white clapboard houses, and elegant 19th-century architecture reflecting its whaling-era past. Strolling the downtown area lets you soak up that charm while browsing boutiques, art galleries, cafés, and historic houses. Morning Glory Farm A local favorite, this working farm offers fresh produce, seasonal flowers, baked goods, and farmstand treats. It's a lovely half-day outing — especially nice if you're visiting with family or exploring off the water.
Property Description
The Franklin Hotel is a luxury boutique hotel located on Upper Main Street in Edgartown, just steps from the heart of this historic seaside town on Martha's Vineyard. It offers a blend of modern design, thoughtful amenities, and a prime location that makes it an appealing choice for couples, families, and visitors who want a relaxed but refined base for exploring the island.With just 18 guest rooms and suites, the Franklin delivers an intimate and personalized stay — far from the feel of a large resort or chain property. The hotel strives for a boutique experience where quality of finish and detail matter, and each guest feels attended to rather than processed.The Franklin is centrally located in Edgartown, one of Martha's Vineyard's most charming and picturesque towns, known for its historic whaling-era homes, boutique shops, restaurants, and easy access to beaches.Guests can walk to many of the town's highlights, including Edgartown Lighthouse, State Beach, and scenic harbor views, all within a short stroll or quick bike ride.The hotel's 18 guestrooms and suites are designed with a modern, nautical-influenced aesthetic that pays homage to Martha's Vineyard's coastal character while feeling contemporary and sophisticated.The Franklin embraces a modern interpretation of classic New England coastal style — crisp design lines, light and airy rooms, and subtle nautical cues that feel at home on Martha's Vineyard.Rather than heavy maritime theming, the hotel's interior design leans toward understated elegance: soft color palettes, quality materials, and architectural details (like vaulted ceilings and dormers) that give the spaces character and depth.Public spaces and room décor both emphasize comfort without being overstated, appealing to guests who appreciate style without pretension
