"If the world was perfect it would be a lot like Martha’s Vineyard." Tom Neal Tacker, author

About an hour's drive from Boston, the island of Martha's Vineyard is a true New England vacation gem. Naturally beautiful with picturesque cliffs, beautiful beaches, rolling hills, and scenic flatlands, the Island is enhanced by warm-to-hot temperatures in the summer, a profusion of color from the diverse tree and bird life in the fall, crisp air and cozy hideaways in the winter, and the blossoming hues of flora in spring.
