First Time Vacation Renters on Martha’s Vineyard

Confused-Photo

Finding your perfect vacation rental property on Martha’s Vineyard may seem like a daunting task if you have never been to the island before.  Even though we are considered a small island, we have five towns with some very different flavors to each.  There are also many different booking opportunities out there for vacation rentals.  There may be something to be said for being able to go online and book your house in a few easy steps but it is important to have confidence in the services available upon arrival to the house.  We, at Sandpiper Rentals, are proud of the fact that we are here and available should there be an issue at the house or questions to be answered upon arrival.

Our agents are familiar with all of the houses in our inventory and truly love what they do.  They take great pride in matching a family with the right vacation home as that is often the vehicle for a fantastic time on the island and creates memories for a lifetime.   The best way to determine the perfect vacation rental is to have discussions regarding what you and your family would like to do while you are here.  Do you enjoy eating out regularly or would you prefer cooking in?  Is a state of the art kitchen important to you?  Would you prefer an “old Vineyard” style home in the woods with great walking paths or bike paths nearby?  How important is beach access and its proximity?  Do you want to be able to walk into town?  Knowing your family’s needs allows us to introduce you to the perfect rental option creating the perfect stepping stone to the perfect Martha’s Vineyard vacation.

Christmas in Edgartown with Sandpiper Rentals

Edgartown comes alive every December with Christmas lights, smells of warm fires and Christmas wreaths and trees. Edgartown Board of Trade’s 33rd Annual Christmas in Edgartown is a celebration that throws you right into the holiday spirit. The parade features local businesses, smiling children, and… well Santa of course! This year’s parade was a bit longer with more entries, live animals, singing and dancing. Local business, Slip 77 gave out items from their fabulous retail store located in Oak Bluffs including t-shirts. Sandpiper Rentals held an Open House Tour with many surprises such as raffles, treats, and warm drinks.

At the very end of the parade the children were overjoyed to see Santa Claus.

Once that concluded, I caught up with the Alpacas outside of the Edgartown School. Then joined in the fun with all of the vendors at the Craft Fair where I purchased some homemade ornaments and jewelry.

Finally, I wrapped up the afternoon with some local shopping at MV Florist and Sanctuary in Oak Bluffs where I chatted with the dear owners, Frank and Rita. All in all, it was a wonderful way to start the Holiday Season.IMAG0769

Sandpiper Rentals & Vacation Rental Education

Sandpiper Rentals makes it a point to continually educate ourselves in our business and industry.  Anne Mayhew, Owner/Broker had the opportunity to attend the New England Vacation Rental Managers Association meeting last week and gained a great amount of information.  This group provided great speakers that have expertise in vacation rentals and promoting growth in marketing and customer service for both our tenants and owners.  The opportunities abound and we find ourselves on the fast track as technology provides so many ways to improve our systems.

 

Keep an eye out for future posts promoting the installation of some of these great new systems!
