1820 Whaling Captain's Home - A walk to a coffee or cocktail!

Set in the historic section of Greenport village, the Captain’s House, built in 1820, is an elegant and charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath home ready to enjoy, especially for a summer getaway or a cozy holiday retreat. It's a 3 block walk into town and a short bike ride or drive to all the area beaches, wineries and treasure finding.

The Captain’s House is in the perfect location for those who’d like to leave the car at home and wander into town to visit shops, wine bars and restaurants. It's even a 10 minute walk from or the Jitney/train.

There are three bedrooms (one with a queen bed, one with 2 twins or king and a smaller 3rd bedroom with a full bed) and two full bathrooms, one with a washer/dryer that is on the ground floor. There are two comfortable living rooms, one with a fireplace and large color TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Smart TV as well as a selection of puzzles and board games for all ages. There is a TV in the master bedroom as well. Attached to the living room is a formal dining room with a farm table that seats 8 for those chilly or hot evenings better spent inside.

For the ultimate chef, the home has a fully stocked kitchen with Cuisinart appliances, a Garland stove, every utensil imaginable as well as all dining-ware. There is no need to bring sheets, towels or beach towels, it’s all here. For those with small children, note that I do not toddler-proof the house, remove the nicknacks, etc. so keep that in mind when renting!

There is a very large and beautifully landscaped backyard complete with a 'Secret Garden" hidden in the far back of the property overlooking a zen fountain. Attached to the house is a back deck with a charcoal and a gas grill and an outdoor garden shower. Dining al fresco with friends and family a the patio dining area allows room for entertaining.

* PLEASE NOTE: Beaches are open to renters with permit. I would need to notarize a rental permit, so please let me know in advance if you would like to get one. It is $300 for 3 days or 3 months, and the name on the agreement needs to match the registration. I have also included some beaches that do not require a permit.

Easy walk to town

What a beautiful house to stay! The interior design and decorating are just stunning and the backyard oasis is amazing. It’s only a couple of blocks to downtown Greenport and the perfect location to set off each day for wine tastings. We love traveling with our two small dogs and we’re so grateful to be able to bring them. It made our entire week in Greenport all that much better!

Perfect Location with Amazing Backyard

We stayed for a week and enjoyed every single thing about this home! The house feels loved and lived in and makes you feel like you’re staying with friend or family, not a sterile rental! The bedrooms are all a good size and beds were all very comfortable! The gorgeous renovated kitchen was a joy to cook meals in and the backyard was perfect! We enjoyed days and nights on the deck and in the secret garden! The location was perfect for walking to Front St restaurants and shops, ferry to Shelter Island and LIRR station. Hosts were so quick to respond and answer any questions that came up! Would definitely stay again!

Best House Ever

Best house we ever rented. VRBO listing does not do justice to the house. It was fabulous, awesome decorations, something new every time we turned around. So much so, we hated to leave even to go out to dinner. The owners truly took pride in the house and maintained its historic charm in every room.

Great place despite the weather

We stayed at the Whaling Captain's home during a unseasonable rain storm. Though the weather outside was frightful, we stayed nice and cozy inside the house. Unfortunately, we were not able to do much with the beautiful backyard, but perhaps that will be for another stay. Thumbs up, Five Stars, all that good stuff.

This is an amazing house in a great location. Walking distance to main streets of Greenport and quick drive to beaches. We had a lovely time and the house is stunning. The garden is amazing.

Perfect blend of nature and convenience!

Our first stay at this beautiful home, well located for access to Greenport restaurants and shops. Easy parking included. All modern conveniences in the charm of a home from 1820's! Beautiful linens, well decked out kitchen with every type of plate/serving piece/cookware imaginable. The jewel in the crown though is the back deck and garden. The zen garden is a hidden masterpiece with bamboo and really well done landscaping. Was perfect for morning yoga in the garden. Would love to keep this gem to myself, my family looks forward to returning.

Special place

My husband and I and our Havanese, Max , spent much of the summer at Marcia and Robert’s beautiful home. The house exceeded our expectations. It is a gem and the garden with its water fall was an oasis. The house was fully equipped with all that one would need. Dating from 1821 It was tastefully updated retaining its charm. Close to town it was an easy walk to the many fine restaurants and shops. Beaches were near by both on the Sound and Gardiner’s Bay. We felt so at home here. Thank you Marcia and Robert for sharing your home with us. We can’t wait to return

It was a lovely hidden oasis. The house is only a few short blocks from the center of Greenports quant little town. Marcia was super easy to work with, and always available. We will definitly be back. We recommend this house to all. Dont hesitate rent it fast!
