<body class="blue" onLoad="initSlideShow(true,5);"> <center> <div class="main"> <div> <img src="../images/head_aboutisland.gif"/><br/> </div> <table class="contentWrapper" cellspacing=0> <tr> <td class="col1of2"> <h1>Here's What You Need to Know About Martha's Vineyard...</h1> <img src="../images/pic_aboutisland_lighthouse.jpg" class="picFloatLeft"/> <p>Greetings from Martha's Vineyard and the Winnetu Oceanside Resort!</p> <p>The largest island in New England, located seven miles from the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, "The Vineyard" -- as locals call their island -- is authentic New England at its best and different from any other place you've ever visited.</p> <p>Martha's Vineyard can be reached only by ferry or air, which means you must plan your trip in advance -- particularly if you intend to bring your car on your Martha's Vineyard vacation.</p> <p>Martha's Vineyard has strict zoning to protect its special natural environment, so the Winnetu Oceanside Resort is set back from Martha's Vineyard's best beach; a.k.a., "South Beach." Located in a quiet and peaceful area, you can hear seagulls from your deck or patio and also see the Milky Way at night without any urban lights to disrupt your view of the stars. Yet, we're only three miles, via the bike path, from Main Street, Edgartown with its numerous restaurants and shops.</p> <p>The Winnetu Oceanside Resort doesn't fit into any standard hotel category. Don't expect to find bell persons, room service, a full-service spa or beach attendants here, as the Winnetu Oceanside Resort and Martha's Vineyard experience is more laid back, and akin to visiting a nice vacation home.</p> <p>As good hosts, we will welcome you and do everything we can to assist you in creating your ideal Martha's Vineyard vacation. We will indulge you in our Lure restaurant, which serves fresh, native coastal cuisine. You can browse in our General Store; read by the fire in our library; lunch poolside in season; challenge your kids to a ping-pong or giant chess match in our courtyard; bike, hike, and swim; and top it all off with a massage.</p> <p>Pack your swimsuits, khakis, and flip-flops and come prepared to enjoy a myriad of amenities and services at our top family resort. (Click Here).</p> <p>Finally, the Winnetu Oceanside Resort -- like Martha's Vineyard -- is an unpretentious, charming place to explore and have a fun New England vacation with your friends and family.</p> <p>We welcome you to our home on the Vineyard!</p> <table class="chart" cellspacing=0> <tr> <td class="chartHeadBrown"> <p class="chartHead1">For more information: </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="chartCellA"> <p class="chart">About Martha’s Vineyard  visit the Chamber of Commerce website at <a href="http://www.mvy.com" target="_blank">www.mvy.com</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="chartCellB"> <p class="chart">Our recommended door-to-door, passenger-only, high-speed V.I.P. fast ferry/transfer service from New Bedford to Martha's Vineyard - with a complimentary transfer to-and-from our Winnetu Oceanside Resort hotel -- for you, your luggage, and bicycle.
