The Greenwood House is decent for its price. However, it's worth the extra few bucks to stay elsewhere. When you enter the house you feel as though you are walking into someone's personal home, especially because the owner greets you in tube socks. Yes, they take off their shoes in the house. I've been to many bed and breakfasts and have never had this feeling before. If you're looking for "homey" this is the place for you to go. The rooms are okay, but the shower was a tub with a shower knozzle so my partner and I had to take turns showering each other to avoid spraying the hand held shower all over the place. Breakfast was okay but they only have it for one hour and the second you go downstairs the owner enters your room and begins to clean up. I felt this was a little invasive and they should have waited to clean until we actually left for the day. We went up to our room and he wasn't done cleaning so it was a bit awkard. And yes, again he was standing there in his socks. It's also a very hands on place. If you ask for something they have you do it yourself. When you call up the owners on the phone located in the living room and ask where to put the towels they don't come down and they make you go outside around back and put them on the porch (even in the rain?). Also with bikes you must store them yourself in the garage. When we stayed at another place nearby for only $25/night more they catered to you by collecting your towels and walking your bikes into their shed. I feel that should be part of the charm of a MV bed and breakfast. And again, another reason why you feel you're a guest in the owner's home, when in reality you're paying them still a pretty penny.

We came to the Vineyard for a special charity event and were looking for a reasonably-priced stay on Martha's Vineyard. We found the Greenwood House and contacted them for room rates. The reservation process was very easy. We had stayed at a different b&b last year, and had the worst vacation experience imaginable. The difference between this place and the place last year is like night versus day. The house is perfectly clean on the inside, and is very comfortable. You feel right at home as soon as you get in. There was a set up storage area for our bikes, which was very convenient. Our room was wonderful. The carpet looked brand new and was extremely clean. The shower was incredible-- heated bathroom, built-in hairdryer, and all the amenities you would expect from an expensive hotel. It literally looked like the bathroom was just built that day and never used by anyone before us. And as an added plus, the owners are very conscious about the environment. Recycling and water conservation are encouraged. We requested the cheapest room available to keep our budget down, and we are very impressed with what we had. There was plenty of space in our room to relax, sit at the desk, etc. The room came with a fridge, cable tv, and wireless internet. The owners go to incredible detail to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. The only downside we had was that the bed was a little harder than we prefer. Breakfast in the morning was fine. The owners were conscious that everyone staying the night (there were three other guests) was participating in a charity race that day, so the gave us a high-carb, high-protein meal to fill us up. The location is also excellent for those taking the ferry to Vineyard Haven. It's in walking distance to the ferry landing and bus circle. Other than the bed, I wouldn't change a thing. This is the first place we will call if make another trip to the vineyard.

My wife and I just returned from another great weekend at the Greenwood House in Vineyard Haven. We stayed there last summer and enjoyed it very much. This time we brought friends with us. They liked the Greenwood House so much they are talking about returning in September and again with us next July.
Larry and Kathy are the best. Kathy recomended a very good restaurant about a 10 minute walk from the Greenwood and gave us the phone number and the name of her favorite waiter.
They recommended a couple of very nice beaches that we visited and they even let us use their beach towels and offered to let us use their beach chairs. Breakfast both mornings was very good.
We had the same room as last summer and everything was perfect again. Our friends had a room on the 1st floor that was also very nice.
Next summer we hope to return to the Greenwood House for a longer stay.

I stayed for one night at the Greenwood House in Martha’s Vineyard. On the positive side, I can say that the room was very clean. The location is not really what they claimed, it’s a good six block walk from Vineyard Haven but I wouldn’t have minded that if the hosts had been gracious. I went out to get coffee at 10:15 because they only serve breakfast from 8:30 to 9:30 and do not even have a coffee station set up for guests to help themselves. Also the breakfast they serve is mediocre at best, it was literally raisin bran and some semi-stale banana bread. The other guests who were at the table with me had literally brought their own granola with them to eat at breakfast. I don’t mind roughing it but when a place claims to have breakfast, I expect a little more effort… When I returned at 10:30, my bags were sitting by the front door. I asked if I could go upstairs to make sure all my belongings had been removed from the room and was told by Larry that he had already checked it. Its extremely disorienting to have someone else move your bags. What annoyed me the most was that I had been told that check out was 11 am and I was very careful to return at 10:30 to be sure to be out of the room on time. Larry made me so uncomfortable that I did not even want to sit in the living room which is trite but clean.
