Edgartown Residence Club – what is it?
Feb 25 2011
After reading Rick’s post last month I thought I would take a little time to introduce you further to the Edgartown Residence Club. Located in what some of you will remember as the ‘porch wing’ of the Colonial Inn, Edgartown Residence Club is available for purchase as a fractional ownership. “What the heck is fractional owership?” [...]
The Perfect Martha’s Vineyard Vacation
Jan 30 2011
This blog is sponsored by the Colonial Inn in Edgartown. And all of the contributors are employees thereof. Except me. Since I’m a non-employee, I can tell the truth and they can’t touch me! I can blow the lid off the whole operation! Tell all! Full disclosure! Expose all the dirty little secrets! Name names! Blow [...]
Martha’s Vineyard’s Winter Music Scene
Jan 15 2011
“What do you do here in the winter?” – It’s a question that almost every year-round resident has been asked by a wide eyed tourist in the height of August business. The answer on the tip of the tongue for me is, “Enjoy the peace and quiet” but that’s not to say that there is [...]
A New Year on Martha’s Vineyard
Dec 29 2010
I have never been a fan of new year “resolutions”; there is way too much guilt and disappointment going on, come February when resolves aren’t as strong! This is a great time of year to reflect on the good, bad, and ugly of the past, however; as well as organizing and making plans for all [...]
Christmas on Martha’s Vineyard
Dec 16 2010
Christmas in Edgartown was last weekend and we were really getting in the spirit…here are some of the highlights! Jim, our grumbly but lovable maintenance guy claims he’s a bah-humbug scrooge but he always does a wonderful job of getting us in the spirit with his outdoor lights – I think he excelled himself this [...]
Martha’s Vineyard Memorial Weekend plans
May 23 2010
So here it comes again – the official kick off for the summer on Martha’s Vineyard – Memorial Day weekend. If you believe what “they” say, we can now wear our white clothes and sandals with pride as we enter what promises to be another fun filled summer season. It is already shaping up to [...]
Going Green on Martha’s Vineyard Part 2: The chemicals
Mar 28 2010
Let’s continue the story of Greening the Colonial Inn. If you missed Part One it’s over here. Go ahead, I’ll wait while you catch up… My brain hurts just compiling the factoids for this post. My notes are scribbled and vague at best and I do NOT have a doctorate in this stuff, but it is [...]
Edgartown In Spring
Mar 21 2010
The return of the sunshine to Martha’s Vineyard this week has been a very welcome sight to those who have not made it off to warmer climes this winter. I’ve talked before about the patterns of life on the Vineyard and I was reminded of more of them yesterday. I didn’t even realise that I [...]
Going Green on Martha’s Vineyard Part 1 – Baby Steps
Feb 5 2010
I will attempt to walk a fine line in this article. I like our planet…I think we should keep it! It’s a ‘fixer-upper’, that’s for sure, but I’ve grown fond of it over the years. The more research I do into the realm of becoming ecologically responsible the more I feel that it could be [...]
Edgartown Harbor seasons
Jan 31 2010
As Lane touched on in our last post, Martha’s Vineyard is a very different place in winter than the beloved Island that most of you see only in it’s glorious summer colors. This morning, I walked up to the top of the Edgartown Residence Club wing of the building, as I do most days, and took [...]
