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 $40 and the name on the agreement needs to match the registration. I have also included some beaches that do not require a permit.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Greenport Harbor Brewing Company. Features include laundry facilities. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a washer/dryer in the vacation home.

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!

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!

Wonderful Oasis in Greenport

We had a wonderful stay at Marcia’s beautiful house in Greenport. Marcia was incredibly welcoming and accommodating and the house was perfect for our trip. The location is ideal - a short walk to everything the NoFo has to offer. Marcia was very responsive and gave great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

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.

The property was charming. The lockbox was very difficult to access and I was given two different codes to open it. Would have liked more info on how to get onto Wi-Fi - instructions were wrong, and info on how to find the bike would have been great. But generally very pleasant place.

Enchanting Haven

We felt so welcomed and every room we entered increased the sense of being in lovingly appointed atmosphere surrounded by art and furnishings, a fireplace stacked with wood, the artful curation of books and shells and beautiful but welcoming, comfortable furniture. We gathered in every cozy room when our son and his wife visited for dinner with our grandchild. The kitchen is so delightful to cook in and once you step out into the sweet deck in the back you are in a lush yard with a huge lilac tree and a tree swing and through the bamboo you discover the fountain and koi pond and a seating area. Pure serenity. The bedrooms are lovely and cozy and the bathrooms beautifully designed and modernized. We felt so at home. So relaxed and at the same time enchanted and renewed from being in such a home. Thank you Marcia

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.

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
