PICK YOUR BASE

Four bases. Pick the weekend, not the listing photo

Compare the four bases

Walk, nights, ferry ease, and whether you actually need a car — so the polaroids have a chart behind them.

Edgartown
  • Walk Walk: 9 out of 10. In-core harbor loop
  • Nights Nights: 5 out of 10. Dinner-forward, quieter late
  • Ferry ease Ferry ease: 6 out of 10. Taxi or bus from terminals
  • Need a car Need a car: 3 out of 10. Often skip if you stay in-core
Oak Bluffs
  • Walk Walk: 8 out of 10. Circuit / harbor cluster
  • Nights Nights: 8 out of 10. Highest street energy
  • Ferry ease Ferry ease: 9 out of 10. Many passenger boats dock here
  • Need a car Need a car: 3 out of 10. Often skip in-core
Vineyard Haven
  • Walk Walk: 7 out of 10. Main Street practical cluster
  • Nights Nights: 4 out of 10. Calmer evenings
  • Ferry ease Ferry ease: 8 out of 10. Year-round Steamship port
  • Need a car Need a car: 5 out of 10. Helpful for some hops
Up-Island
  • Walk Walk: 2 out of 10. House is the venue
  • Nights Nights: 3 out of 10. Chef night / porch, not Circuit Ave
  • Ferry ease Ferry ease: 3 out of 10. Plan the transfer
  • Need a car Need a car: 9 out of 10. Usually yes

Scores are planning shorthand for a typical summer bachelorette, not a ranking of the towns themselves.

Plan it before the ferry sells out

Marginal notes & logistics

Ferry PDFs in the tote, the Saturday reservation name, packing that survives cobblestones. Notes from someone who has been to too many of these — not a committee.

MVBachelorettes is an independent informational planning scrapbook — bachelorette and group-trip detail so your party can figure out the weekend without hunting across tabs. Not owned by MVacay, not an affiliate. Brand work, advertising, and Island-depth questions go to MVacay at info@mvacay.com or mvacay.com. Sponsored placements are always labeled separately.

A fan of their Island writing — not their company. The notes here come from too many Island weddings as a friend (embarrassing), a tote full of ferry PDFs, and a soft spot for dinner reservations. Fake-wedding casting calls optional.
