All you have to do is arrive before check-in. We bring your bags to your room for you and take you to the Woods Hole Terminal on our Beach Buggy. It’s as easy as pie, and you’ll have time to stop for a coffee at Pie in the Sky, a scrumptious bakery near the terminal.
2. Embark on The Island Queen
The Island Queen is another option when traveling to Martha’s Vineyard. The boat departs daily from the end of May to the beginning of October and takes you to Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard.
