@@jenohanlonmarthasvineyardr2000 You're welcome Jen O'Hanlon. Although, I would never agree with my comment stating Martha's Vineyard rich people are racist because that's what I wrote and you're thanking me? Ok, the Democrats aren't afraid to say their socialist. So I guess you Martha Vineyard liberals aren't afraid to show your true colors. Oops, lack of color acceptance.
Loved it here! I did the summer work and travel program there for 4 summers there and loved it! Worked at Harbor View Hotel as a server and at the Shell Gas Station as a pump attendant in Vineyard Haven. Best summers of my life working and being there on the island… I miss it there so much.
Martha's Vineyard makes the Hamptons seem second-class. What a picturesque, bucolic, serene and enchanting place. When my ship comes in, I'm moving to Edgartown! Thanks for this wonderful video!
It's a disgusting vile anti-immigrant Island. A liberal piece of garbage. They are all for illegal immigration until they show up on their all white island
Lovely video The narrator did so good putting life and excitement into all things shown Now I regret having missed visiting this mesmerising place when at Harvard on a short course in summer 1999 I’m 68 and have a chance to visit my daughter this year in Toronto I’ll try my level best come here .. If I’m living Congratulations for this kind sharing
Greetings from Canada. Congratulations on preserving and regulating the beauty, charm, and history of the Island. It's wonderful what has been achieved.
@@suesally2103 I live in Texas where we are overwhelmed with hundreds of thousands coming over our borders and taking over our state. Governor Abbott has been transferring them to sanctuary cities that think we should leave our borders open.... I wonder what the people on Martha's Vineyard would think if they had bus loads of illegal aliens dropped off on their streets?? You know since it is no big deal for border states such as Texas to take them in and support them with food stamps, housing, an education for the children, plus their medical needs. I think the sanctuary cities might change they minds and the way they vote if it was their problem as well as the border states.
Excellent video! I cant tell you how hard it is to find quality content. The wife and I are traveling there next month and this video was very helpful thank you
We use to fly into Katama airfield. Strip of grass from NJ several times a year. We were friends with the owners of Mel’s Diner located on the airfield. Many great memories during the 80and 90’s.
Spent many summers near the airport in Katama. Spent as much time as possible at the airfield. Family was based in western NJ for many years and flew out of Sky Manor Airport or Blairstown.
Wonderful presentation. I enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you so much. I doubt if I will ever make it to Martha's Vineyard, but you have so graciously made it enticing and attractive. What a wonderful place. Is it what they call "Down East"? Thank you so much for this on-line visit to charming Martha's Vineyard. Great Job!
My husband and I honeymooned here in the early '90's! I checked to see if the Bayberry bed and breakfast was still open, but it appears not. We always wanted to return. My father was from mainland Massachusetts and we vacationed there almost every year, but never Martha's Vineyard. When my husband said he wanted to go for our honeymoon, I thought it was a great idea. We went right before the tourist summer season. Everyone couldn't believe we'd traveled so far (we were married in the midwest), but really appreciated how much we enjoyed the Island. This video brought back lots of memories! Is the Bayberry for sale?
Hi! Ironically, I am the agent who helped the family who owned the Bayberry Inn last year when they finally sold it! It was bittersweet for them for sure but it is now being run as a non-profit for affordable housing here so a very good ending to the Bayberry Inn.
@@marthabonelli3093 meaning the illegal immigrants flown to the island. None were offered sanctuary. They were promptly removed at the request of the residents.
We do have a great community here on the island trying hard to create more affordable housing on Martha's Vineyard. Here is a recent interview I did with the Coalition to create the MV Housing Bank. th-cam.com/video/0-jnkaEaVks/w-d-xo.html
That red blouse, can you link to it? And, where might be the closest state park or RV campground for taking the passenger ferry for an overnight or weekend on the Vineyard?
I'm lucky to only be an hour away. I do frequent day trips over the summer and early fall. If you focus on having fun and ignore the people with negative energy, it's an amazing place to go. It's unfortunate there are "ugly" people there not focusing on improving their lives but rather using energy to bring others down. Misery loves company.
My wife and I just visited in early August. It was beautiful but the public buses were packed as was everything else. Going to try mid September next time. Hopefully it’s not as crowded.
I really do think the beautiful people of Martha's Vineyard should do their fare share and host many of our immigrant population. They have abundant resources such as money, guest homes, restaurants etc. I don't see why they wouldn't be flying people in directly from our Southern border. There's nothing to be afraid of rich people, you can do this!
The community on Martha's Vineyard cares deeply for our residents and anyone seeking housing. I recently did a video on Harbor Homes that I invite you to watch. The mission of Harbor Homes of Martha’s Vineyard is to ensure that low-income residents, who are homeless or facing homelessness, have access to safe, sanitary and secure housing so they can participate as healthy and productive citizens. th-cam.com/video/J2AcNLPpe8c/w-d-xo.html
@@jenohanlonmarthasvineyardr2000 How do the residents of poor American towns along our Southern Borders ensure that immigrants have safe, sanitary, secure conditions? The can't they don't have the wealth, abundance, guest homes, jobs of the Martha's Vineyard residents. Did you call in the National Guard to immediately have immigrants removed?
@@debrasmith9241 @debrasmith9241 yeah, they have just enough housing for the servant's in the summer, MV is a sanctuary city, until illegals show up, but hey, they'll still vote democrat, because poor people don't mean squat to their island.
Yeah just don't go in the summer. Place is next level annoying. Honestly I don't think most of the people there are even having fun they just torture themselves because want to tell their neighbors they went there because they think it's high post. Neverending hordes of irritated stressed out lemmings stuck in traffic "having fun" if u could even call it that but I wouldnt lol. Its a total horror show.

@@jontodd2 Exactly! The idea these people don't haver resources to take care of immigrants but the poverty stricken towns of Texas, the South, the Midwest is the most myopic, hypocritical nonsense. They get free labor and the rest of the country can provide the "resources".
How nice that the town governments are making the preservation of character so important It is to bad they haven't made affordable housing a priority for those who have grown up on the island. Nice to have shops and pretty buildings to enhance the character but it's the people who truly make up the character of a place. Sadly, so many in govt are concerned with businesses to attract tourist rather than the people who grew up there.
Normal people that rent have to move their whole families 2 times a year out of their "winter rental" so the landlord can rent the spot for bank in the summer and back again. All because the nimbyism of ppl who own palatial estates they don't even live in year round and others. they refuse to build apartment blocks even though they are desperately needed. Problem Would be soooo easy to solve. But instead they would rather have children having their lives uprooted twice a year to keep things "quaint" for all these so called compassionate liberals who want their lawns manacured and houses cleaned for cheap bur dont give af about the people doing it having a steady affordable roof over their heads.. It is not right at all.
This video does seem to be very Gentrifying, not mentioning the different kinds of people who have historically lived on the island..............especially Oak Bluffs.......
I love the Cape. If you don’t live on Cape Cod then you don’t know what’s going on and shouldn’t make negative comments. FYI, the Cape has been building affordable homes and apartments for the locals. There are 4 new ones on Route 28 that passes near my home in the historic district. The council recognises that renters and vacation houses are pricing locals out so they have programs that are dedicated to building affordable homes for them, and not just in the touristy towns, but in residential areas when homes are in the millions. Everything built on the Cape must abide by the scenery of the Cape. It must “look” like it belongs on the Cape, no matter how large it is. There are no southwestern or southern plantation styles. All styles must follow certain visual standards and nautical colors stand out. Still, there’s such a variety that keep neighbourhoods looking unique. To that end, just recently, millions of dollars have been dedicated to building complexes of affordable housing apartments. These are not thrown up, badly built places. Care and attention to design. sustainability, and price is very much under consideration. Most complex have a variation of people with different incomes. Some are 30% of the median income, up to 60%. Some are full price. Lotteries are held for these apartments so people have a chance to get in. It is my understanding that many more are to be built over the coming years. These will be non-vacation rentable homes so they will not be used for summer tourist season, only for locals, and they are either beach front or near it. The towns own the beachfront so one can walk the beach for miles. Houses are built on back from beachfront, but they cannot keep people from walking on the beach in front. However, as I mentioned, there are so many miles of beach that there is no parade of people in front of private homes. There are low costs to park at beaches and the money goes to keeping the beaches clean and pristine, and lifeguards. Locals get a very low discount on major beaches, but then locals know where to go to find hidden gems. Cape Cod is the richest area in the US. With 650 miles of pristine beaches, plus lakes and rivers, tourist season can see millions on the mainland, but there is never a sense of overcrowding.Roads to the Cape are kept to a certain number of lanes, which causes backup. But it’s done deliberately as it keeps people from dangerously speeding. After tourist season, it’s quiet and the locals go out to enjoy even an quieter Cape. It has been more tourists than usual within the last two years because vacation home owners came to live in their homes instead of renting them because of COVID, but that seems to be winding down. Locals do not resent tourists. Touristy is the lifeblood of the Cape. People , especially students, come for the season and with the demand for help is so high as is the pay and tips, they can make enough to pay towards college cost. There is no need to be critical of the vacationers in the Cape. They serve the purpose of making the Cape and islands some of the most beautiful scenery in America.
Thank you so much for this comment. I absolutely love living here, both during tourist season and the off season. I'm so glad we can appreciate the work that goes into making it such a beautiful community.
Interesting and I’ve been there and some friends summer there but that history was left out of this video. On Oak Bluff there is a rich cultural story about Black people on the island in fact this was the first place African Americans could go to vacation in the early 1900s. When people visit, ask about those multicolor cottages.
I‘m very interested in history: Jackie Kennedy‘s former house / Chappaquiddick - Teddy Kennedy / John jr.‘s death near the island / Kennedy residence in Hyannis Port / Jack‘s traces, he has left…😢 Greetings from 🇩🇪🙋🏻♀️
I’m coming in 2024 from England. Can’t wait. Inspired by the film Jaws, however, I can’t wait to explore some of the other breathtaking features on the island. Some of the scenery looks very similar to parts of England. Devon and Cornwall in particular.
They certainly did. Most of them are now US citizens and voters. All but a few are living and working in MA along with the states other 1.6 million migrants. Racists cracked up thinking we had never seen them before but it was immigrant fishermen families from Portugal and Africa who settled both Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
Thanks for the people of Martha's vineyard..they were immediately given warm clothing , food , and a roof over their heads as applying for citenziship was commenced. Wonderful people on the vineyard. Thanks for voting blue 💙
The Del Rio area had more than 49,500 migrant encounters in July alone - more than the population of the city itself, which has a population of just over 34,500 people. By contrast, the year-round population of Martha’s Vineyard is 17,000 people and the island welcomed just 50 migrants when the “humanitarian crisis” was triggered.
While there is much about this video to like, I was deeply disappointed in the discussion of Oak Bluffs and Inkwell. It does not take much research to know that these towns are an important element of African American history in America. When the U.S. was still very segregated, blacks could not use the same beaches as whites. So many educated and affluent African Americans for the times found areas of beaches less desired by whites and were able to build summer homes or full residences there. They are found all over the country now and being preserved. Inkwell was certainly one and was the subject of a very successful movie of the same name. Oak Bluffs also; it continues to draw contemporary black wealth. This is why we need African American history taught in schools. The narrator took the time to point out other side bars in history that were important in the towns of the Vineyard; I hope you will be kind enough to update the narrative on this video and tell more about black history in Oak Bluffs and Inkwell.
@dannyramos6408 O'Bama family lives there. unless you work there, you have to be a millionaire, or better. in the comments people are mentioning Oak Bluffs, must be grandfathered in to living on the island.
I was in Hyannis Port back in the late 90’s for only a day and my business associate who was based there told me to at least check out Marthas Vineyard before I head back to California. This is one of my biggest regrets. One day I’ll visit
I’ve loved the vineyard my entire life. It can still feels like the 70’s in the right neighborhoods on a summer evening. God bless that place.

There are low costs to park at beaches and the money goes to keeping the beaches clean and pristine, and lifeguards. Locals get a very low discount on major beaches, but then locals know where to go to find hidden gems. Cape Cod is the richest area in the US. With 650 miles of pristine beaches, plus lakes and rivers, tourist season can see millions on the mainland, but there is never a sense of overcrowding.Roads to the Cape are kept to a certain number of lanes, which causes backup. But it’s done deliberately as it keeps people from dangerously speeding. After tourist season, it’s quiet and the locals go out to enjoy even an quieter Cape. It has been more tourists than usual within the last two years because vacation home owners came to live in their homes instead of renting them because of COVID, but that seems to be winding down. Locals do not resent tourists. Touristy is the lifeblood of the Cape. People , especially students, come for the season and with the demand for help is so high as is the pay and tips, they can make enough to pay towards college cost.
There is no need to be critical of the vacationers in the Cape. They serve the purpose of making the Cape and islands some of the most beautiful scenery in America.
Thank you so much for this comment. I absolutely love living here, both during tourist season and the off season. I'm so glad we can appreciate the work that goes into making it such a beautiful community.
Gee, wouldn't it be nice if the rest of the country did the same!! No big box stores. Spreading out income for everyone, instead of just a few!
So true Kathleen
Interesting and I’ve been there and some friends summer there but that history was left out of this video. On Oak Bluff there is a rich cultural story about Black people on the island in fact this was the first place African Americans could go to vacation in the early 1900s. When people visit, ask about those multicolor cottages.
I remember when the migrants landed here and were deported within 48 hours.
Great job!!!
Good!
She didn't mention the deaf community that lived there years ago. I believe the whole island knew sign language at one time.
BEEN THERE!!!!!
Martha's Vineyard is wonderful! Hope you enjoyed your time here.
WE LOVED MARTHA’s VINEYARD
LOVED THE VINEYARD!!!!!!! WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!!!!
I‘m very interested in history: Jackie Kennedy‘s former house / Chappaquiddick - Teddy Kennedy / John jr.‘s death near the island / Kennedy residence in Hyannis Port / Jack‘s traces, he has left…😢 Greetings from 🇩🇪🙋🏻♀️
Its an imitation of Ocean Grove NJ really
Where is the Black population on MV? I heard there’s a great restaurant there!
G’day from Australia. I have always wanted to visit Martha’s Vineyard after watching Jaws as a child. Very informative, I will get there one day. 😃😃
Hello Karin! I hope you can visit Martha's Vineyard someday!
The good airport restaurant is gone. The traffic is abysmal and watch carefully for ticks. Otherwise have a blast.
I’m coming in 2024 from England. Can’t wait. Inspired by the film Jaws, however, I can’t wait to explore some of the other breathtaking features on the island. Some of the scenery looks very similar to parts of England. Devon and Cornwall in particular.
You can be absolutely sure that you will find no immigrants on the island.
let's be honest , though, Chappy is better known for another reason.
What is it?

It cost Teddy the presidency…😢
Martha’s Vineyard showed the world how to deal with Bidens illegal invasion
🎯🇺🇲
They certainly did. Most of them are now US citizens and voters. All but a few are living and working in MA along with the states other 1.6 million migrants. Racists cracked up thinking we had never seen them before but it was immigrant fishermen families from Portugal and Africa who settled both Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
They also voted for that shitstain in droves. Ironic no?
Thanks for the people of Martha's vineyard..they were immediately given warm clothing , food , and a roof over their heads as applying for citenziship was commenced. Wonderful people on the vineyard. Thanks for voting blue 💙
@@FrankMackey-nu6bz another misinformed democrat. They were flown out that night.
What happened to all the illegal aliens Texas sent to Martha's Vineyard? I hope they are enjoying life on the island.
The Del Rio area had more than 49,500 migrant encounters in July alone - more than the population of the city itself, which has a population of just over 34,500 people. By contrast, the year-round population of Martha’s Vineyard is 17,000 people and the island welcomed just 50 migrants when the “humanitarian crisis” was triggered.
The migrants have since been moved to a naval base on Cape Cod.
so much for a sanctuary city.
Heaven on Earth :)
Is that really what “Chappy” is known for? I seem to remember it receiving national attention for some more salacious activities.
We Floridians sending y’all these migrants :) thx
This can be the sanctuary state
While there is much about this video to like, I was deeply disappointed in the discussion of Oak Bluffs and Inkwell. It does not take much research to know that these towns are an important element of African American history in America. When the U.S. was still very segregated, blacks could not use the same beaches as whites. So many educated and affluent African Americans for the times found areas of beaches less desired by whites and were able to build summer homes or full residences there. They are found all over the country now and being preserved. Inkwell was certainly one and was the subject of a very successful movie of the same name. Oak Bluffs also; it continues to draw contemporary black wealth. This is why we need African American history taught in schools. The narrator took the time to point out other side bars in history that were important in the towns of the Vineyard; I hope you will be kind enough to update the narrative on this video and tell more about black history in Oak Bluffs and Inkwell.
Today immigrants are still rapidly deported from Martha's Vineyard.
It was called Martha's Vineyard because Martha Stewart bought a property there and developed it.
What , no Chappaquidick?? LOL!!
I definitely have more videos planned in the future!
it's no place to be durning a Noreater it's beautiful in the summer though
And not one minority! Just like you want it.
There are blk people who own homes in Oak Bluffs. See The Inkwell movie made yrs ago.
@dannyramos6408 O'Bama family lives there. unless you work there, you have to be a millionaire, or better. in the comments people are mentioning Oak Bluffs, must be grandfathered in to living on the island.
Chappy is famous fir ted Kennedy’s accident
I saw a Latino what wasn't doing yardwork. Alert the National Guard and vote for Kamala!!
I was in Hyannis Port back in the late 90’s for only a day and my business associate who was based there told me to at least check out Marthas Vineyard before I head back to California. This is one of my biggest regrets. One day I’ll visit
If the people can drive 45 mph, well how do they get gas?
