If the features mentioned above appeals to you, then plan your next vacation to Winnetu Inn, 31 Dunes Rd., Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, where the huge front lawn overlooks the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

If you are wondering whether the place would be suitable for your 3 year old, it is, as is evident from the complimentary children’s program which includes a supervised morning of play except Sunday. The evening also has some interesting activities planned, like a weekly barbeque program with the neighboring South Beach community and renters, owners in the resort’s extended property called Mattakesett. If you are a bit curious to know what the word Winnetu mean, you have to trace the history of the place where Wampanoag Indians were amongst the first to settle before the whites came in. “Winnetu” is Wampanoag for “beautiful,” while “mattakesett” is Wampanoag for “waters too rough for canoe.” There are lot of other resorts in Martha’s Vineyard which have well-planned programs which cater to the needs of the grandchild and the grandparents with parents also rolled in. While golfing, tennis, gallery-hopping, complimentary yoga can keep the adults busy the children can have an amazing farm land experience at the 200-acre Farm Institute by participating in a program called “Farmer for a Day’. In this program children learn another way of life planting a seed being or plucking a lettuce. They could even hold and feed chicks. You could even enroll your child who can be between 4 and 14 in a four-day farm camp if your child is keen to learn more. There is a splendid beach and several biking paths as well as kayaking opportunities in Martha’s Vineyard. Junior tennis clinics for teens, soccer consultants for your soccer-loving kid, the children can almost forget that they have parents with them during this amazing vacation. For instance, in the Winnetu Inn, they have two adult swimming pools and one for kids and their Garden Pavilion is filled with toys to please kids of any age. The Inn also offers mouth-watering barbeque food cooked by award winning chef Ed Gannon. While adults can gorge on fresh Katama oysters, line-caught swordfish, and lots of other fish, meats and poultry from the Farm Institute, children, have their own restaurant to have buffet of chicken and hamburgers, fish sticks and all the things which they love.
