Top Five Reason’s Why Renting a Home is Better than Staying at a Hotel

5.Pets: As a rental agent and pet owner, I understand how hard it is to go on vacation and leave behind the four legged member of your family. In some cases, landlords will allow you to bring your pet with you.  Although, a pet security deposit and extra cleaning fee are usually required, you will be able to have all family members with you during your Martha’s Vineyard vacation!

4. Solitude : Enjoy a cup of coffee on your front porch, a backyard barbecue or just curling up with a book in the living room. Renting a vacation home allows you and your family the privacy that is needed to enjoy your vacation.  Staying in a home allows you to truly escape, relax and get away from it all….

3.Space-: A home that will fit your family and friends is another great perk of renting. Instead of limiting yourself to a hotel room your family will embrace the fact that they have rooms to relax in and your kids will have the ability to “escape” their siblings. When staying in a vacation home you are able to enjoy peace and freedom while having the ability to invite family and friends to help join you in creating countless Vineyard memories!

2.Home Away from Home: Cooking your own lobsters, enjoying an outdoor shower and even being able to do a load of laundry is something that you will have the freedom to do in your rental home. What better way to fully enjoy your Vineyard vacation than by having all the luxuries that you left at home right at your fingertips. Offering homes in all six towns and on Chappaquiddick you are able to choose what area of the island you want to call “home”.  Staying in one of our properties allows you to feel completely at home, which will just add to your whole Martha’s Vineyard experience.

1. Cost Effective The most obvious reason to rent one of our homes is that it is more cost effective than staying at one of the many fabulous hotels, inns or bed and breakfast’s located around the Island. By choosing a home that fits into your budget you are able to enjoy all the freedoms and comforts of staying in a home!

Which Should You Book First? Your Vacation Home or Your Ferry Reservations?

It is a frequently asked question!  Most renters that make the Vineyard an annual vacation destination are now in the decision making process of when, where and how.  Because The Steamship Authority will be opening up vehicle ferry reservations for the summer months soon, many regulars are now trying to fit together the puzzle pieces.

Historically the primary turnover day for weekly rentals has been Saturday.  We now see almost half of our owners use Sunday as the turnover day.  This has occurred for a couple of reasons.  The steamship authority is no longer able to handle the volume of cars being brought back and forth on Saturdays alone and owners have also been having difficulty finding a cleaning crew that can turn over that number of rental houses in one day.

We also now see a few owners consider mid week turn over days for the same reasons.  Many of our tenants tend to like this as it gives them a full weekend on the island instead of having to pack and leave on one of the busy Saturday or Sundays.

When making your Martha’s Vineyard vacation plans you should try to book your rental home in advance of your ferry reservation so you know what days you will need to travel on.  If this is done far enough in advance you should not have a problem come travel time!  Many of our owners will try to be flexible on the turn over day as it gets closer to season if they can.  Many of their weeks will be boxed in with prior bookings.

It always pays to plan ahead for your Vineyard vacation!
