I'm not a lifelong environmentalist. My carbon footprint has been too high much of my life. But as I focus on what kind of planet my generation will leave for my seven grandchildren, I worry and know that I must do more. My moment of clarity and change in perspective came when in 2008 I read Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution - and How It Can Renew America.

I have used this site to list my property for the past two years and have used it to rent other properties on the cape and islands. It is very helpful in contacting landlords or property managers directly and extremely resourceful with information on the status of the current rental market using their blogs. I have used VRBO in the past and found using this site saves me $ hundreds in fees that others charge both renters and homeowners. Will definitely continue to use it and recommend it highly for anyone who is looking to rent short term or long term on the Cape and Islands.

What a sweet cottage, Noelle and Dave have fully renovated this place and have done such a beautiful job. This area in the "grove" is quiet and peaceful. Beds are comfy, 3 different areas to hang out in the yard. Kitchen is fully equipped. I highly recommend this rental!

From the first time a single sided piece of paper was put in my rural mailbox on Martha's Vineyard to this 2021 weneedavacation has been perfect. Joan Talmudge and crew are responsive, proactive, 100% reliable and walk homeowners through every step. From helping to choose photos, attract and keep renters, finances such as The MA tax in 2020, conferences, videos I really can't think of anything they could improve upon.
I am proud to exclusively list my Chilmark Rental with them. I can't imagine ever using another company.
I pay to list. My renters do Not. I love that!
I've used several realtors

We have used his platform to rent out our cottage for last at least 8 plus years, the family that owns it are professional an always trying to improve their product and their relationships with their customers. It is a pretty smooth system and you can be very clear about your expectations of your renters using this platform. I've had nothing but success with it and will stay with them over their competitors.

As a small business owner I think its so important for me to acknowledge a phenomenal company when I have the pleasure of working with one . A little backround first;
I have used Weneedavacation as a renter for for 20 years with great success . Not on single problem ever ! Now as a renter of a summer home ( new to all of this ) i have had the pleasure of working with many of their helpful, knowledgeable staff members . From the start they have quickly addressed all my questions not via email or text but actual one on one phone conversations teaching me the tricks of the trade. I can not say enough

Just a shout out to the staff at WNAV.com who during these unusual times have come to the aid of owners and guests alike providing information, assistance, guidance and forums for all. All of their offerings have helped to make the decision processes during COVID less trying. There were/are many issues affecting owners and guests during this unprecedented time. As usual they have shown such care and professionalism keeping us all educated and enlightened regarding the important details. Help in sorting it all out was much appreciated.
But, most of all, as a regional platform they are able to TRULY

My friends and I have been renting this property for 20 years, the property is on the seawall with 4 bedrooms and all the comfort of your own home. I have never seen a rental that was keep in better condition and had all the latest upgrades and features that anyone could ask for. A Beautiful location with anything you would need within walking distant plus at your back deck the beach, ocean and a view that at sunrise and sunset will give you a feeling of peace we are all looking for. With that said and all the above is important I think what we have enjoyed

This site has been my only site for renting my home on Martha's Vineyard for decades . There's been no need for another!
They are proactive to note if I have made an error, or need to update or whatever. Personal email or calls are always timely. Only the present circumstance i.e. the sale of the house, could end my relationship with them.
Rent in confidence- they are wonderful!

As a property owner (renting my vacation home), I saw little to no traffic via this site. Maybe a couple inquiries but no bookings. This was my second attempt at using them, but the return on investment was zero. I made a major investment in my home last year installing central a/c throughout, so, at this stage, there were no excuses not to rent from me (the home is fully refurbished - I've never had anything less than a 5 star rating from renters). My rates also seem in-line with others. I rented out this and last summer season (and the past 8 yrs) - just none of it came from this site. The people

Every time I have listed with WeNeedaVacation there has been a return on my money. But the biggest advantage is that I can interview prospective tenants to assess if they are suitable. Our open plan rental space is not right for everyone, and we want our guests to enjoy themselves. By using this site, we are able to connect with people in advance and determine their preferences. As a result, we have a very high rate of satisfied guests who want to come back year after year.
