Vineyard Haven Homes for Rent

Vineyard Haven in Martha’s Vineyard is a lively year-round neighborhood with a bohemian atmosphere. The area features ivy-covered fences, stone driveways, and gray-shingled buildings along Main Street, which runs parallel to the waterfront. Artisan cheese stores, clothing retailers, and sandwich shops contribute to the local charm. The Vineyard Haven ferry offers year-round transport to New Bedford, facilitating daily commutes for construction workers. Housing is relatively affordable by island standards, though property taxes are high to support the ferry. Home styles vary from 19th-century colonials to modern condos near the waterfront. The neighborhood contrasts with more formal Edgartown and down-home Oak Bluffs, offering unique things to do. Highlights include the Bunch of Grapes bookstore, second-hand stores like Act Two, and dining spots such as Mocha Mott’s and Bobby B’s. Beaches like Owen Park Beach and Tisbury Town Beach provide scenic harbor views, while Lake Tashmoo Town Beach features large shoreline rocks. The Beach Road Weekend music festival and sports leagues at Veterans Memorial Park add to the community's vibrancy. Educationally, Vineyard Haven is served by the highly rated Tisbury School for K-8 and Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, a National Blue Ribbon Schools award winner. The Vineyard Haven Public Library offers community programs, and the nearby Mass General Brigham Martha’s Vineyard Hospital provides comprehensive healthcare. Vineyard Haven is well-connected, with State Road linking it to other island towns and Martha’s Vineyard Airport 15 minutes away by car.
