The Breakfast at Charles and Charles MV

Martha’s Vineyard Lodging Association


There are many reasons to visit Martha’s Vineyard — the salt air, the stunning coastline, the charming shops and galleries. But if you’re staying at Charles and Charles MV, guests from around the world will tell you that one of the highlights of their entire trip happens every single morning: breakfast.


A Morning Experience Like No Other

Tucked in a beautifully appointed inn on Martha’s Vineyard, Charles and Charles MV has earned a near-perfect rating across dozens of verified reviews. And time and again, the breakfast is what guests can’t stop talking about.

“The breakfasts were so delicious, and so varied. We especially liked the homemade scones and biscuits.” — David, United States

“After the first morning we were looking forward to what the next morning would bring.” — Duncan, United Kingdom

That sense of anticipation — waking up and wondering what Charles has crafted today — is perhaps the most fitting testament to just how special breakfast here really is.


Served Poolside, Made from Scratch

Every morning, guests are treated to a freshly prepared, complimentary breakfast served poolside, where the grounds are nothing short of breathtaking. This isn’t a continental spread of packaged pastries and powdered eggs. This is thoughtful, homemade cooking that changes daily.

Jay from the UK summed it up beautifully: “Home cooked breakfast by the pool. Truly excellent.”

Nicola, also from the United Kingdom, called it simply “exceptional home cooked breakfast,” while Carel, traveling from Belgium, admitted: “The breakfast was ridiculously good. I couldn’t recommend this property more highly.”


What’s on the Table

Guests have raved about a rotating menu that surprises and delights with every visit. Specific items that have made an impression include:

  • Freshly baked blueberry muffins, scones, and lemon pastry
  • Poached eggs on rosti or polenta cake
  • Breakfast pizza and quiche
  • Fresh fruit, juices, and smoothies
  • Homemade biscuits and complimentary cookies
  • Risotto — yes, for breakfast

Duncan from the UK described one memorable morning this way: “Freshly baked blueberry muffins and scones, lemon pastry with fresh juice, nicely poached eggs on rosti or polenta cake, and fresh fruit. A big shout out to Charles — thank you for the recipes, something to try when we get home!”


The Heart Behind the Food

What makes breakfast at Charles and Charles MV truly extraordinary isn’t just the food — it’s the person behind it. Host Charles prepares each morning’s meal with genuine care, and guests feel it in every bite.

“Amazing breakfast!! So tasty and creative!” — Beth, United States

“A place where everything has been thought through to delight the guests. The breakfast was simple but delicious.” — Priyan, United States

First-time visitors like Carel from Belgium arrive skeptical — “How nice can a 3-star be?” — and leave converted: “The answer: very nice. The breakfast was ridiculously good.”
