Hello, to get to Martha's Vineyard from Yarmouth you will need to drive from Yarmouth, MA to Woods Hole, MA, which is about an hour, and then get on a Steam Ship Authority boat, which will take you on a 45 minute ferry boat ride to Martha's Vineyard.

Not a far walk at all. I'm in my 70's and had no problem. Easy walk and lovely homes with great architecture. Enjoy!

Brooke, Do you mean the Harborview Hotel that is located across from the Edgartown LIghthouse? It depends where you take the ferry to—closest would be Oak Bluffs rather than Vineyard Haven. From there you can grab a MV bus that will take you to the Lighthouse and the hotel.

Take the VTA bus #13 to Edgartown. Walk down Main Street to Water Street and turn left. Walk 5 blocks.

One or the other, depending upon whether or not the guide is explaining something to another person as you enter. It's a very small space, not easy to miss someone who hasn't paid. Remember, the $5 fee (free for kids under 12) pays for both staffing and maintenance of the lighthouse -- no small feat, exposed to the wind and salt air.
