Parking advertised as available but in reality very limited to first come, first served, only about 10 spaces are on premises while additional, still small spot, is located couple of street away. Hotel is recently renovated so everything is in very good shape, outside and pool area are very nice but inside not so (I was in main building) Whoever did interior design should be fired, random pieces of decorations, orange and brown motive, strange green paint in hallway. My room (king) was large comparing to others at 320 sq ft but for some strange reason had window AC while others had not. Advertised with full size fridge, in reality it is just micro one, no coffee maker. Site proudly display turntables in every room, interesting addition if only works, ours was not. Safe in the room was locked open, unable to use. Staff is nice and helpful, they offered to address the issues but shouldn't it be all ready upon my arrival? Speaking about arrival, when I was filling pre-arrival form, I stated desire to check in early. Not only I was unable to check in early but not even on time at advertised 4pm, our room was not ready until 4:30. Manager was apologetic, offered explanation and compensation but I would prefer to avoid sitting in the lobby for long time. Overall, Faraway is one of the better options in Edgartown but not the best.

We were on the Vineyard for our 20th wedding anniversary and our stay at Faraway was amazing. From our room in the Courthouse, to the pool and lobby, the ambience here is incredible. The only thing that beats the vibe here is the staff. Everyone we met was beyond helpful and made this one of the best trips we have ever taken. Thank you!

I stayed there for 6 days..So LOTS of money spent. The hotel is dirty, the rugs stained, housekeeping didn't clean my room until 6pm a few nights then not until 3pm every day. The room was insanely noisy, over the pool and the restaurant. Ridiculous the prices for that. The staff, some are helpful, most not. NEVER EVER AGAIN>>>

Faraway is centrally located in Edgartown. We stayed at the Kelley House which is the main hotel building where you check in. The lobby design is elevated and cozy, and the staff is very friendly. The pool is at the center of the campus and has cabanas (you can reserve them ahead of time), sofa lounge area with a firepit, loungers, tables, a bar area, and restrooms. We would walk around town to explore the shops, eat at a local restaurant then lounge around at the pool to relax. Note that the building doesn't have elevators so if you're using a 28" or above suitcase, you'll be lugging it up a few flights of stairs depending on what floor you're on.
