Finding a Year-Round Rental on Martha's Vineyard

Looking to rent a home year-round? Most Martha's Vineyard real estate offices don't handle rental inquiries, but if you're diligent and persistent in networking, it's possible to find your own way to a 12-month lease.

It's a daunting prospect, made ever more urgent as summer draws near: How to find a year-round rental on this Island of summer vacations? My Mom, an Edgartown real estate agent, regularly gets calls from people who are looking for year-round homes to rent. She'd like to help — but like virtually all Island Realtors, Mom's office doesn't broker rentals. All she can do is encourage the callers to keep looking and asking around. "Ask everyone you see and know" Patch blogger Carol McManus, owner of Espresso Love and a broker with Sandpiper Realty, agrees with my mother's advice: "I would ask as many people as I can if they know anybody" with an apartment or home to rent, McManus said, because property owners don't always list their rentals in …

House Hunt: Where Can I Live on the Vineyard?

Your new Patch editor is living in a borrowed house and running out of time. Is there a year-round rental out there somewhere on Martha's Vineyard for a hard-working journalist, a handyman and a very good cat?

I've been back on the Island for less than a week, but I'm already starting to get nervous about finding a place to live when June rolls around. For now, the boyfriend, cat and I are cozily ensconced in a kerosene-heated summer house, thanks to the kindness of family members. But come summer, this little cottage is rented and we can't afford another in the neighborhood where I grew up. Paul and I don't need beach access, a pool, a gourmet kitchen or a place to tie up a boat. We're just looking for a modest home to live in while we search for a house of our own to buy.
