Alison M. Jones: Travel
USA: Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard

You can rent a charmingly renovated, historic boathouse on Sherriff’s Meadow Bird Sanctuary. I have stayed there many summers enjoying its water views. From this 3-bedroom cottage you can easily walk to Edgartown’s shops, restaurants and harbor to avoid driving in town traffic. Use of Black Point in Chilmark, one of the most beautiful private beaches on Martha’s Vineyard, is included.

The owner of this home is a life-long family friend and spent all summers here growing up. His love of the property is obvious. I advise planning far ahead as this jewel is booked way in advance for the popular summer months - or plan to come in winter when this famous island quiets down and becomes a great artist’s retreat.
