Once of the nicest and most relaxing resorts. Close to Edgartown downtown area and steps to the beach. Lots of great amenities and staff was very accommodating and friendly. Great for a romantic getaway or even a family trip.

Hotel's Favourite
Fabulous family-friendly resort. We took our kids and their babies for a family trip. We arrived on a Wednesday and the clambake was an excellent first meal. The menus are kid and adult friendly. The service is stellar. Shane and Joelle were always friendly and took their time to make us and the little ones very welcome. We had an East Chop suite for each family unit which was great for nap times and having fridges for baby bottles. Even though these suites have showers, the hotel provided infant bath tubs. The porches were lovely for morning coffee.

Our first stay at The Winnetu Oceanside Resort exceeded expectations on every level. We chose to celebrate our 15-year Anniversary on Martha's Vineyard, and will attempt to repeat annually. The staff was impeccable. We were greeted with a handwritten Anniversary card, champagne and Murdick's Island Fudge -- to die for. Such a lovely gesture. The perfectly equipped ocean view room set the tone for sheer happiness and healing. We took the beach chairs to the ocean for an extraordinary sunset. Walking back to the room, I had a bug bite on my cheek. Immediately swollen and concerning, the excellent staff sent up a medicine kit that saved the trip! We so appreciated their response. Breakfasts were lovely and every detail throughout the stay was designed to charm guests. Even our Bostonian neighbors were delighted to share adventures. They returned to celebrate their annual Anniversary for the last 20 years. Surely, that says it all. Bliss. Thank you, gracious Winnetu staff. Till we meet again ...

The resort was beautiful! Only a short visit for a wedding, but everyone who worked there went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. From a personalized welcome note with some local fudge, to the pitcher of water left on the table, to shuttles into Edgartown, every detail was appreciated! Will definitely plan a trip again when we can enjoy the pool and beach! Merisch had a smile on her face every time I saw her!

Winnetu is a marvelous combination of low key and upscale. The resort staff are excellent and helpful, and the grounds are peaceful and ample. Short walk across the street to South Beach with a shuttle every 30 mins into town. We had drinks and lunch by the pool and both the service and quality were great. Stayed in a cottage room with lovely amenities and loved it! Thank you Winnetu.

Thank you for the excellent 5-star review. We are blessed to have a great location alongside South Beach, yet only a 5 minute ride into town. I am glad that you were able to take advantage of everything we had to offer. Here's to seeing you next season.

Came for a wedding at the resort! Everything was lovely and food and service was excellent! Could not have been any nicer. Everyone was so kind, helpful and accommodating. Helping with rides , luggage, places to go and things to do ! Shout out to the incredible staff and all Van drivers . Running late at the end and they just drove the four of us to airport! Special thanks to Merisch!

Thank you for staying with us and taking a few moments to provide a review for the TripAdvisor Community regarding your experience. I am glad that the Resort showed so well during the wedding weekend. Although we don't do service to MV Airport normally, I am not surprised that Merisch volunteered to go the extra mile and assist you in your time of need. Please consider us if you return to Martha's Vineyard, we would be honored to have you back as a guest.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Winnetu for our honeymoon and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate! The room was beautiful and the grounds/amenities were wonderful, plus the private beach was such a perk and a fun walk away!

Thank you for joining us for your honeymoon and the 5 star review on TripAdvisor. It means a lot to be part of such a milestone event that you will remember for a lifetime. Just a point of clarification - South Beach is not a private beach it is a town managed beach, but we are blessed to have the best access to it amongst any Hotel or Resort on Martha's Vineyard. Looking forward to making more memories with you two in the future.

We were lucky to have spent a few days in an East Chop 1 BR suite at the Winnetu! It was our first time to Martha's Vineyard and we spent one day touring the island by car, and another day renting bikes and doing a walking tour of historic Edgartown enjoying the glorious weather. The amenities at the resort and staff made our visit outstanding! We breakfasted one day at the Dunes, where the staff were very attentive and food was delicious. There is a complimentary shuttle to Edgartown which ran every hour and every half hour in the evening, so it was very easy to get to restaurants. Our shuttle drivers were always friendly and full of knowledge about the resort, the island, and great restaurant recommendations. Tim and Benny the concierges were very helpful planning our touring day by car, pointing out special points of interest, made sure we took advantage of all the resort amenities, and arranged our return transport to the ferry. The Winnetu is simply magical!

Thank you for taking time to give us a great review. Magical is a word that I hear often regarding Winnetu and to me invokes words that can't be expressed. I am delighted that we were able to exceed your expectations. Thank you for mentioning the staff and especially our dynamic Concierge duo of Tim and Benny. I agree they are wonderful. Looking forward to you joining us again in the future.

This is a beautiful resort! The staff is so accommodating and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We celebrated our 40th anniversary, so they had champagne and chocolate waiting for us which was a nice surprise. The beach is so close you can hear the surf. We would stay at the Winnetu again on our next trip to MV.

Celebrated my 60th at the Winnetu. Stayed with my family in one of the Mattakeset townhomes and many of my friends joined me for the weekend and stayed at the main hotel. Everything about our stay was magical! We had been there 15 years ago and this trip did not disappoint. The townhome had a great layout and even though it was compact, the downstairs was well set up to accommodate a big group for the night we barbecued and hung out at home. The concierge and his entire time were absolutely wonderful and incredibly helpful. We had a clambake one night and it was supposed to be outside and then the weather didn't participate. They quickly helped us shift and find a location inside that was still special. We also enjoyed a water taxi into Edgartown that was so fun and a great way to see the island from the water. The shuttle bus to and from town was a very helpful way to get around. We loved our walks on the beach and the bike trail all around the island. We just got home and I could return tomorrow...I cannot say enough about our family's special visit to the Winnetu!
