A Summer on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket
For a girl that grew up on the water, I’ll never shy away from a trip that involves the coast. I feel
most at home when near the ocean and have always wanted to visit both Martha’s Vineyard
and Nantucket. And let me just say, they’re both as picturesque as you’d imagine. We
decided to bring the fam to MV after our annual Chappool party and before we sent Chase off
to college in an effort to squeeze every ounce of family time in before school started. And
goodness am I so glad we did! This was S U C H a wonderful family trip…one that I would
most definitely recommend! If you’ve got MV on your bucket list, I cannot say enough
wonderful things about The Winnetu. It came as no surprise The Winnetu was voted New
England’s #1 Hotel…..the beach is just a stone’s throw away, the pool, the food (THOSE
OVERNIGHT OATS), the endless family friendly amenities, the boatload of charm, the killer
KIDS CLUB, the Firetruck rides….and the list just goes on. It was the perfect getaway for our
family of 5 with something for each and every one of us. Calvin was a big fan of the Kid’s
Club…with activities that rivaled some of his fave summer camps, the girls, of course, spent
their days sunning at the beach and strolling thru darling Edgartown spending their parent’s
money, and Johnny and I did a little bit of all of the above….we even managed to sneak in a
little date night to The Atria with our friends Liz & Brian and some cocktails at The Pelican Club.
It truly was S U C H a memorable trip…one that we definitely intend to repeat. A special thank
you to Tim, our concierge, for creating a magical family friendly itinerary….he totally knocked it
out of the park! Friendly reminder, my code BETH will allow for a discount when booking any
of the fabulous Little Gem Resorts. If you’d like a play by play of our trip, see the itinerary
below OR check out my MV Highlight on Insta.
And now onto the oh so dreamy, Nantucket…or ACK as you’ll quickly realize once stepping
foot onto the island. We opted to make this visit a couples trip with our dear friends Keith and
Liz. Here’s how I’ll sum up Nantucket—normally at the end of any trip, Johnny and I are ready
to head home…..as we were doing our final lap to The Juice Bar the day of our departure, we
both said, “We’re just not ready to head home quite yet!” I blame the endless charm of the
island, the ridiculously delicious food, the fabulous shopping, the locals, the walkability, and of
course, the wonderful hospitality c/o The Nantucket Hotel. Nestled right in the heart of ACK,
you’re mere steps from A L L the things…..the beach, the food, the boats, the shops, the
picture perfect homes….you name it! The island is as picturesque as Elin Hilderbrand
describes…..a pure delight for your senses. And once again, the concierge teed up an
impeccable itinerary….Kate, we can’t thank you enough….and talk about a small world, Kate
and I discovered she knows my dad as he’s been visiting ACK and his bff for over 20 years—-
was meant to be! Same rules apply my friends, Little Gem Resorts have so graciously
extended code BETH for any 2024-25 bookings….and trust me when I say, they go quickly so
don’t sleep on your next magical visit…..we locked in our second trip to LOVANGO just last
week. I’m sharing our exact itinerary below—-only thing I’d change is adding more time!!! You
can also check out my ACK Highlight on insta…..clearly we had quite the trip….looking forward
to heading bACK.
