"Summercamp was perfect to stay at during my first trip to Martha’s Vineyard. What was most helpful was they provide a large locker that fits luggage to store for you so you can tour the island until your room is ready! They are so helpful with suggesting hotspots to visit in the area. The staff is pleasant, helpful, patient and kind. They are very welcoming and helped to make sure my friends and I roomed on the same floor. They also found me a candle and stored my birthday cake for me. It’s close to everything and the view is amazing! The lobby and porch area are super cute areas to take photos or just lounge. I will definitely return and I highly recommend!"
