Here are 5 Martha’s Vineyard vacation houses you can still rent this summer
This five bedroom, two bath in East Chop, Martha’s Vineyard, has a large backyard and outdoor shower.
If you’re still looking for a summer escape, you might want to consider Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. Summer rentals are still available, and restaurants, shops, and beaches are open for the season (with social distancing rules in effect).
There’s a mix of smaller cottages and larger, traditional New England-style summer houses available for rent through Labor Day near destinations like Joseph Sylvia State Beach, East Beach, and Ocean Park. If you’re a real estate buff, you can check out the iconic gingerbread houses and the area’s historic homes. For foodies, there’s Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company and The Black Dog Tavern.
