1820 Whaling Captain's Home

NEW KITCHEN IN THE WORKS!! 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 now open again to renters with permit. I will send you a signed copy of your rental agreement, my rental permit and you will need to provide your vehicle registration with the same name as it appears on the contract. Fee for beach passes is $100 for 2 weeks or 2 months!

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.

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.

Beautiful house in perfect location
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. We didn't have great weather the whole time or we would have spent more time out in the garden. My kids say they want to live in the house they liked it so much! Thanks Marcia (and also Rosita).

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.

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

We had the chance to stay at this beautiful 1820s fully renovated home. The house is so beautiful, and well equiped for your every need. The kitchen is stocked perfectly with anything you would need to do some cooking. The house was immaculatley kept, and lived in with care. The backyard is beyond what we epected. 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!

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

Perfect Spot for Our Girlfriend Get Together
First and foremost Marcia was a delight to work with. She is so responsive which goes a long way to assuring you that the rental will be as advertised. Therefore, not surprisingly Marcia’s house was spotless, well equipped, and homey. The linens and towels were all top notch, the mattresses comfy, the kitchen had every imaginable gadget, appliance, and plenty of dishes and silverware. And the yard....It seems to extend forever, is beautifully landscaped, and has several secluded sitting spots in addition to the back porch. While we weren’t able to enjoy it as much as we wished, I can only imagine how nice it would be in the summertime. We loved the house’s location as it was easy to walk and explore Greenport and also easy to get on the road to go to vineyards and other sites we wanted to experience. Marcia has amassed beautiful art and decorative pieces, as well as lovely antique pieces that fit with the house’s history. But despite the house’s age, it has been renovated and the bathrooms in particular are very updated and modern. Our only issue was that one of the fragrant scented diffusers in the home set off one of our group’s allergies. We solved this by moving it to a closet during our stay. I highly recommend this home as a rental in Greenport.

Marcia's house is great location just a short walk into town, and the house itself is adorable and charming. It's listed as a 2BR but there is actually a small 3rd BR as well. The yard also is very well manicured and we enjoyed relaxing back there as well. Overall would definitely recommend and stay again.
