Stately lighthouses, gorgeous coastline, natural history, and possibly Jake Gyllenhaal.  "The Vineyard", as the cool kids call it, is accessible by either land or air only.  No roller skate path from the mainland.

Seven miles off the coast of the Massachusetts coast, Martha’ Vineyard offers a unique vacation ambiance.  The island is composed of several different villages, which range in flavor from Sophisticated Preppy to Taffy & Fudge-eating Day-Trippers.  The Vineyard offers something for everyone, but do keep in mind that a significant portion of it is "Dry".

The beaches are entirely unspoiled, natural stretches, that roll up from the surf into wavy grasses.  If you saw Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in "Something's Gotta Give" - even though that was the Hamptons, it's that kind of beach.  Don't you just want to pack up the picnic basket right now?

While a bit of a challenge to get to, Martha's Vineyard is relaxation personified once you arrive, and it is more than worth the trip.  The terms "quaint" and "charming" were coined, specifically, for places like "The Vineyard", as the kids call it.

You will need a little more time than just a weekend, unless you live close-by, but this is a great place to just kick back with your girlfriends and enjoy the ironic East Coast laid-back vibe. 

The Martha's Vineyard Getaway includes:

• Hotel accommodations
• Reservations at restaurant of your choice
• Sunset Sailing Tour
  
• The Official Golightly Guide to Martha's Vineyard 

(For all other Optional activities on this Girlfriend Getaway, please click the "Activities" tab.  Optional activities may be substituted for "included" activities - prices may vary.)

Holiday Golightly does not "do" air.  Booking flights is an impossible, thankless task, and we are all about being thanked.  We recommend Kayak.com, and MVY is the airport on the Vineyard – which is the best way to get there (but can be expensive).
