A must-stay in Edgartown!
The Faraway is absolutely delightful. The rooms are beautifully decorated and from the second you walk in, the signature scent is relaxing and comforting. The pool and fire pit are beautiful and the perfect place to spend a few hours. We loved the location—just a few steps from shopping, dining, and the water. A must-stay in Edgartown!

We loved the cool records and record players in each room. We loved our balcony overlooking the pool areas and water.
To wake up and see the sunrise over all the sail boats was perfection!
The fire pit was nice to sit around to on our fist night!
And the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed!

Amazing vibe, beautiful property, super comfortable rooms/bed and always got excellent recommendations from the staff. Amazingly refurbished property - we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Our only caveat is that the rooms are not well soundproofed - conversations are easily heard in conjunctive rooms, outside, etc.
