Sandpiper is excited to announce that we are expanding!  We have opened our customer service kiosk in Cronig’s Market in Vineyard Haven.

We are striving to provide higher quality service for our landlords and tenants who are located in Vineyard Haven, West Tisbury, Oak Bluffs, and up-island, the ability to pick up check-in packets in Vineyard Haven the day of arrival, rather than driving to Edgartown.

 

For convenience Sandpiper Rentals has also added an ipad with our website so interested parties can easily browse inventory and get to know about renting on Martha’s Vineyard.  Look for us in Cronig’s Market, Vineyard Haven.

4th of July on Martha’s Vineyard

 

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!

There is something magical being in New England on the 4th of July. There is something beyond magical to be on Martha’s Vineyard for the 4th. Perhaps it’s our small town atmosphere and our traditions that make me forget that I have stress and worries, and make me feel like I am in Mayberry momentarily. Ever since I was little a large group, including my family, friends, and their families, have always gone to the beach in the late afternoon on the 4th for a cookout, and to watch the fireworks over Edgartown harbor.

 

 

There is a dizzying amount of traditions to uphold on Independence Day. The biggest of all is the Edgartown Parade starting at precisely 5 pm, followed by a phantasmagorical display of fireworks at 9 pm. The parade starts at  the intersection of West Tisbury Road and Pinehurst Road, then winds its way through downtown Edgartown. As the parade ambles around each corner, you’ll be privy to veterans displaying their colors, floats themed around their organization, firetrucks flashing their lights and honking for the kids, animals, and even kilt-clad bagpipers (the debate is still up in the air if they are traditional bagpipers or not…). Please be advised that due to security reasons, they are shutting down Edgartown to traffic starting at 3 PM. I suggest either taking the bus, or parking at the Park and Ride on upper main street and walk into town. Handicap parking is available at the Edgartown Yacht Club.

We hope you have a fantastic and memory filled 4th of July.

Indulge Your Inner Foodie

Martha’s Vineyard is known for a multitude of things; it was once an escape for the Kennedy’s, Jaws was filmed here, the beautiful beaches and bountiful fishing, and last, but certainly not least, the spectacular restaurants we have here on Martha’s Vineyard. The island has something for everyone and every taste, whether you are in the mood for thai or fine dining. Not only is there renown restaurants to indulge in, there are plenty of food and wine events happening throughout the spring and fall here.

Martha's Vineyard Wine Festival

May 9 – 12 was the first ever Martha’s Vineyard Wine Festival, a 4 day philanthropic event celebrating wine and food benefiting different charities. Events included a grand wine tasting, an oyster and wine cruise, and even a man vs. wild food event where Chef  Billy Manson of ” Local Wild Food Challenge” created a spectacular meal from locally sourced foods from Martha’s Vineyard

Taste of the Vineyard

June 13 was Taste of The Vineyard, the kickoff to the summer social season where over 75 local restaurants come together to offer a taste of what the vineyard is about, including wine and hand-crafted beers.

Immediately on the heels of the taste is Martha’s Vineyard Restaurant week (Sunday, June 16 – Thursday, June 20) where Martha’s Vineyard restaurants open their doors for the season and offer prix fixe menus designed to showcase what each restaurant is about, whether it’s farm to table meals, amazing pizza, or extravagant 10 course menus.
