Why You Should Go...

Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard have very different vibes as soon you get off the ferry. When you get to Nantucket, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Without chain stores, miles of cobblestone streets, buildings sided with weathered cedar shakes, and historical land markings on many of the buildings, you really feel taken back in time to an idyllic island. Nantucket is pristine, the beaches are gorgeous, and the hospitality of the islanders is unparalleled. The vibe may lend itself more towards people who are looking for sightseeing, a nice stroll through beautiful architecture, local shops, and those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Martha’s Vineyard feels as though you have stepped into a postcard island destination. With its beautiful parks, colorful homes, pristine beaches, and many places to visit. Where Nantucket is mostly flat and sandy, Martha’s Vineyard has woods, hillsides, and the Aquinnah Cliffs. Along with its natural beauty, the island also boasts delicious, fresh seafood, hundreds of great shops, farmers' markets, and local events galore. The vineyard is teeming with opportunities to play and relax.
