Vacation Planning for a Martha’s Vineyard Getaway

Did you know that planning a trip to Martha’s Vineyard can feel like a difficult task for some people? The good news is that it can be an easy breezy experience when you know what to expect. So, without further ado, here is your vacation planning guide for a Martha’s Vineyard get away . First and foremost, you need to decide which time of the year that you’ll be taking your vacation to Martha’s Vineyard. Although most people think that the island is only a summer destination, Martha’s Vineyard is actually a fun, relaxing and interesting place all year. 

For example, spring and fall is a great time of year for young couples with babies because the island isn’t as crowded. In essence, it’s a lot easier to get around. However, if your children are bigger, then the summer season is a great time of year to visit Martha’s Vineyard, especially if you enjoy going to the beach. Winter is also a special time in Martha’s Vineyard, and it’s incredibly romantic for couples who want to get away. On the opposite end of the scale, if you are bringing your baby and or small children, here’s a great tip. 

You can rent all the baby equipment, like cribs, highchairs, and stroller, that you’ll need for your trip on the island. That way, you won’t need to drag everything with you during your journey to Martha’s Vineyard by ferry, boat, or airplane. On that note, if you’re bringing children on the trip, it also makes sense to book a hotel or local inn that can provide you with separate sleeping areas. For example, you’ll enjoy yourself a lot more if you have a living room in your suite where the kids can play and sleep. If not, you may want to rent adjoining rooms. 

Last but certainly not least, do a bit of research before you book your trip. There’s a lot to see and do on the island. When you plan accordingly, it will go a long way to ensure that you accomplish everything that you wanted to accomplish.
