Winnetu Oceanside Resort Review

A departure from most properties on the island, the contemporary Winnetu—styled after the grand multistory resorts of the Gilded Age—has successfully struck a fine balance in that it both encourages families and provides a contemporary seaside-resort experience for couples. This property has units that can sleep up to 11 guests. All have kitchens and decks or patios with views. Room decor is stylish and modern but casual enough so that kids feel right at home. In addition to lodging in the main inn, there are 65 three- to five-bedroom homes available for rent by the week; it's a great option for large families, and all resort amenities are shared. The resort arranges bicycling and kayaking trips, lighthouse tours, boat excursions to Nantucket Island, and other island activities. A full slate of excellent children's programs is offered late June through early September.

2010 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award Winner

Situated on the lovely New England resort island of Martha's Vineyard, the Winnetu, an all-suite property with accommodations ranging from one to four bedrooms, is an ideal spot for the entire family. In addition to the abundance of available activities like ping pong, basketball, tennis, and yoga, the resort offers complimentary children's, teen, and parent/toddler programs in summer.
