Off the coast of Cape Cod, accessible only by boat or air, it\u2019s known as one of the favorite holiday spots for the rich <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and famous<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not rich (yet), but I still manage to spend a few days <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Martha\u2019s Vineyard every now and then. I love its relaxed elegance, the beautiful architecture, and of course &#8211; the spectacular sandy beaches.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every time I was there, I had this silly routine. I visited Long Point Wildlife Refuge because I love nature. I dropped by Lake Tashmoo because it&#8217;s so charming, and I walked along <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deserted East Beach toward<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cape Poge Lighthouse because it\u2019s just irresist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ble. This time however, I visited so many more beautiful places in Martha\u2019s Vineyard, mainly because I had so much more energy than ever before. I came to the conclusion that it was thanks to the unique place I was staying at, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobnocket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Nobnocket Boutique Inn<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Martha\u2019s Vineyard Boutique Hotel<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobnocket Boutique Inn has only seven rooms, but each of them is designed in a perfect way that provides maximum relaxation (which we all need desperately these days!). The interior design is ultra-contemporary zen-like, with furnishings from designers at Moooi, Philippe Star<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ck<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Knoll and Marcel Wanders.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This gracefully designed Inn sits on 1.8 acres of lush gardens and trees, which to me, added another layer of calmness and seclusion to the resort. Having said that, it\u2019s only half a mile away from Vineyard Haven Main Street with its <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">award-winning <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stores and restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Walking In&#8230;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The calming elements of Nobnocket hit you right as you walk in the main door. The guest common areas are extremely welcoming, and there\u2019s a big comfy sitting room with an original brick fireplace. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The room itself is designed with bold colors that complement the white walls and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dark<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wood floor. The bathroom is a bright, delux<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mix of marble, glass and massive tiles, with a walk-in shower. There\u2019s good high-speed WiFi, Cable TV, bluetooth music devices, beach towels, yoga mats, fancy Frette linens, and much more to make you sleep like a baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71054\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71054\" style=\"width: 741px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71054 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Boutique-Inn-sitting-room.jpeg\" alt=\"Nobnocket Boutique Inn \" width=\"741\" height=\"486\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71054 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Boutique-Inn-sitting-room.jpeg\" alt=\"Nobnocket Boutique Inn \" width=\"741\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Boutique-Inn-sitting-room.jpeg 741w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Boutique-Inn-sitting-room-350x230.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Boutique-Inn-sitting-room-696x456.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Boutique-Inn-sitting-room-640x420.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \/><\/noscript> The sitting room.

I enjoyed the gourmet breakfast (included) on the archetypal New England covered veranda (you can also have your breakfast in the sunroom, on the patio or in your room). After you eat, I recommend taking a walk outdoors. The Inn has a few beautiful patios and \u201chidden\u201d seating areas where you can get some more quiet time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not sure where to go <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Martha\u2019s Vineyard or how to book an activity, don\u2019t be shy to ask the Nobnocket staff. They\u2019re super nice and accommodating. They offer concierge services, and will easily help you with booking farm or island tours, cheese tastings, sailing charters or restaurant reservations. I asked the staff about renting a bike &#8211; and they offered me one of the Inn\u2019s bikes (which they offer for free!), plus I got lots of useful tips for my long day on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71051\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71051\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71051 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Marthas-vineyard-breakfast-room.jpeg\" alt=\"Nobnocket Marthas vineyard\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-71051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71051 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Marthas-vineyard-breakfast-room.jpeg\" alt=\"Nobnocket Marthas vineyard\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Marthas-vineyard-breakfast-room.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Marthas-vineyard-breakfast-room-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Marthas-vineyard-breakfast-room-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Nobnocket-Marthas-vineyard-breakfast-room-315x420.jpeg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/noscript> The Breakfast Room.

It was a charming adventure. If you choose to do the same, don\u2019t forget to stop at a special bridge, practically the border between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. It\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">known as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaws Bridge, and this is where the epic Spielberg movie, JAWS, was filmed back in 197<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll definitely want to watch the movie after (or before) going on this bike ride through Martha\u2019s Vineyard. Jaws Bridge is where <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one of the shark attack <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scenes were filmed. Most tourists jump and flip into the water near the bridge &#8211; for a few good memorable Instagram pictures. Don\u2019t worry, sharks are not known to hunt in these waters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Quick Must See or Do List<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit Martha\u2019s Vineyard Museum in Vineyard Haven<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a Cape Poge Lighthouse Tour&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit West Tisbury Farmers\u2019 Market (every Wednesday and Saturday June \u2013 October)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobnocket.com\/marthas-vineyard\/outdoor-activities-visit-the-elizabeth-islands-with-island-girl-excursions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boat trip to the Elizabeth Islands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Island Girl Excursions&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a lovely Sunset cruise on the Black Dog schooner, the Alabama<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a Kayak on one of the Great Ponds&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy a Sunset at Lambert\u2019s Cove Beach&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore Wasque Nature Preserve on Chappaquiddick<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit The Gay Head Lighthouse and colored cliffs in Aquinnah<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hike Cedar Tree Neck or Great Rock Bight&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy Live music and hang with the locals at The Ritz in Oak Bluffs&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Local Events <\/b><b>on<\/b><b> Martha\u2019s Vineyard<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Martha\u2019s Vineyard Oyster Fest is a delicious event taking place at the Martha\u2019s Vineyard Museum in Vineyard Haven in early October.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beach Road Weekend is a cool 3-day outdoor music festival in Vineyard Haven.
