When I think about Martha’s Vineyard one word comes to mind, “wealthy.” It might be all those entertainment shows I’ve watched over the years that let me know the exclusivity of Martha’s Vineyards. Here’s the truth, everyone is welcome in the Marthas Vineyard, but it is more upscale shabby chic.
Where and What Makes Martha's Vineyard a Great Destination:
Martha’s Vineyard is an island located off the southern coast of Massachusetts. Massachusetts is known for its natural beauty and charming towns. The island is home to several quaint towns, each with its unique character and history.
When considering how to get to this island, consider using a ferry. Several ferry services are available that take passengers to the charming town of Martha’s Vineyard.
When considering where to book accommodations, most will opt for vacation rentals, bed and breakfasts, or one of the hotels on the island.
Popular places to book a stay include Oak Bluffs Inn, Mansion House, Inkwell Beach House, or the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. Notice not any chain hotels on this list!
Everyone would enjoy Martha’s Vineyard, but a few categories of travelers come to mind. I recommend Martha’s Vineyard for an older tourist, couples, and families with older children. Consider this vacation tame with a lot of lazy afternoons, beach walks and great places to eat.
