Marthas Vineyard rental . Once a commercial whaling port, Martha’s Vineyard, is a favorite holiday spot for the rich and famous. And for at least one celebrity, the final spot - Animal House star John Belushi is buried in Abel’s Hill Cemetery in Chilmark. Bill Clinton also vacationed here while president; however, he wasn’t the first one to give the 100-square-mile island a presidential seal of approval—Ulysses S. Grant would summer here, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis owned a home in Aquinnah. And while Steven Spielberg’s camera lens has forever associated Martha’s Vineyard with killer sharks with ‘Jaws,’ whale watching is a much more popular activity. If you have time, take the ferry to Chappaquiddick Island, and from there, set out to explore Mytoi, a 14-acre Japanese-style garden in the middle of the forest. Sound good to you? Maybe wanna take a vacation there? Well, head over to
Viscape to learn more! You can only get to Martha’s Vineyard by plane, ferry or a private boat (if you have one). Unfortunately there aren’t any bridges or tunnels connecting the island to the mainland. You can take a ferry from one of the six different ports (on Cape Cod and on the mainland) that serve the island, but if you want to bring your car across with you, your only option is the Steamship Authority ferry that leaves from Wood’s Hole on Cape Cod, which is also the only ferry operating year-round. Flying into Martha’s Vineyard is expensive, but thanks to a lot of growing competition the fares are dropping.
