Polly Hill Arboretum, our West Tisbury neighbor has appointed Selena Roman to the Board of Directors.  A perfect addition to the Board, Selena not only lives within a stones throw of the Arboretum, and can often be seen enjoying its 70 plus acres,  she has a keen interest in protecting the ponds and waterways and nature around West Tisbury.

We are in phase 2 of reopening and anticipating another busy summer on the Vineyard.

When everyone was planning their summer vacation 2020, no one could have predicted or planned for the situation we are now facing due to Covid 19.  Unfortunately many Vineyard summer events have been cancelled, but SUMMER IS NOT CANCELLED  - its just going to look a little different this year!

Ice House Pond used to only be known a select few islanders and was therefore named "The Secret Pond" by some, because it was only accessible to home owners and a handful of neighbors.  The special Martha's Vineyard Rental spot is still unknown to many is being discovered by more and more people since the MV Landbank purchased land at one side of the pond in 2004 and opened it up to the public.

As the name suggests this inn and restaurant sits at the western end of Martha’s Vineyard, in the shadow of the famous Gay Head Lighthouse. You might think it's far, but it's so worth the drive, even in the winter and maybe more so when you get to experience the island in it's quiet un-touristy glory.  South Road takes you through Chilmark and as the road gets close to the ocean you are rewarded with beautiful water views and glimpses of maginifcent summer homes that are usually shielded from view by the trees.    Once you get to Aquinnah you realize why you came -  quiet roads, miles of unspoilt beaches and magnificent views like no other on the Vineyard  - its a real feeling of escape from it all.

The fall brings the fruits of our summer labor with closings happening before winter creeps in and people lose momentum.

Featherstone Center for the Arts is a cultural mecca for all kinds creative endeavours on Martha's Vineyard.   The mission of Featherstone is to create a community arts space for the Vineyard's year round residents and summer visitors.  Winter workshops, including life drawing and pottery classes, chocolate festivals and various shows give way to kids art camps, adult classes, and the Flea market during the summer months.  With new events being added all the time to the brand new multi million dollar gallery space, pottery studio and arts center.
