Martha's Vineyard Two-night Family Getaway
Last year Boston Magazine had this to say about the Winnetu: “Here’s a concept: the stress-free family vacation. No, it’s not an oxymoron, particularly at the Winnetu Oceanside Resort on Martha’s Vineyard. Ditch your car and prebook the VIP Island Queen ferry package, which includes guaranteed parking in Falmouth and a 35-minute boat ride to Oak Bluffs, where a Winnetu staffer will whisk you to the resort.” 

This item includes a two-night getaway at the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. Accommodations include a one-bedroom "East Chop" suite. Reservations are based upon availability. Valid during April 19 - June 14, 2012 or September 16 - October 21, 2012. Not valid during holiday periods or wedding weekends.
