Yes, it is off season and may not be the warmest climate for the first day of Spring but I wouldn’t swap it for anything! Off to Squibnocket on this bright crisp day, sun shining and kites in hand. I know most people think of the summer months when they hear Martha’s Vineyard and I [...]
If there’s one question that I hear from every potential vacation house renter, it’s, “How far is it to the beach?” This Oak Bluffs, restored Victorian cottage makes my part in this conversation easy! The beach is 30 feet from the house, literally at the bottom of the stairs. And the beach is private! This [...]
Chilmark’s south shore offers some of the best the Vineyard has to offer: gorgeous beaches, dazzling sunsets, tantalizing quiet…and grand summer houses. This Victorian house sits atop a hill, offering 270-degree views over meadows, ponds and ocean. With access to both Menemsha Pond and private Hancock Beach, this house that sleeps 10 and feeds 12, [...]
This very cool apartment rental in Edgartown has it all: it’s right in the heart of the village, very close to the beach and the price is definitely on target. At 450 square feet, the space is used incredibly well with an open kitchen/dining/living area with cathedral ceilings. Off the living room, you’ll find a [...]
Lambert’s Cove Sunset Farmland, rolling hills and sweet beaches define West Tis, and it’s the only town that spans the island from the north coast to the south shoreline. Officially considered up-island, because of its size, the eastern edge borders the down island towns and doesn’t feel quite so far removed as Chilmark or Aquinnah. [...]
For all of the ‘glitz’ the Vineyard offers…(and by ‘glitz’ I mean manicured, rose covered streets in old whaling villages)…the village of Menemsha offers the most charming absence of glitz this side of the Mississippi. It starts with a long ride down Chilmark’s North Road winding by farms, up and over gently rolling hills. And [...]
At my house, you don’t have to look very far for some real and authentic Martha’s Vineyard-ness. You see, I happened to have married a Mayhew – the Island’s founding non-native – family. And my hubby Jonathan’s a longtime commercial fisherman to boot. So, I sat him down and got him to spill the beans [...]

It’s spring – and I just can’t stop blogging about all of the glorious places to explore the nature of Martha’s Vineyard. Today, I’m thinking about Sheriff’s Meadow – an incredible organization with beautiful properties sprinkled across the island. Some of my favorites are Sheriff’s Meadow Sanctuary, Cedar Tree Neck and Packard Preserve – don’t [...]
I could decide to write about the many natural gems and places to explore on Martha’s Vineyard every day for a year and not run out of material! Today, I’m picking two of our family’s favorite spots up in Chilmark: Fulling Mill and Squibnocket. Fulling Mill is a fantastic hike through a 46-acre reserve that [...]
