Winnetu is a beautiful resort where my family has stayed for years. As a child, my parents took me. Now I take my own kids. The facilities are great, and the location is gorgeous. A major draw for me has been the camp for kids who are guests of the resort. However, in recent years, the counselors they hire who care for the children have become increasingly irresponsible. They show up to work hung over and talk about things like sex and partying in front of the kids. Some of this I know through a personal mutual connection, but some is because my kids have told me directly. When I approached management over this, the main contact was extremely kind. She also said when counselors show up hungover, they are asked to leave for the day. However, I don't feel this is enough. I also feel badly myself that I have not reported this sooner, so I consider reviewing this property part of my atonement. Please think twice about using the camp, especially if your children are on the young side and won't be able to report back to you on their sense of well-being there, as my kids, who are now older, have. On the other hand, if you don't have children or do but don't plan on sending them to the camp, you will have a lovely stay at this property.

We stayed at this resort for 4 nights. Check in was a breeze and very pleasant. Suite was really great. Very comfortable bed. Adequate mini kitchen. Bath and a half was a real plus. NIve LR with big screen TV. Books available to read. Nice view of the large back yard and could see the ocean. Looked like lots to do if you're there in the summer. Nice pool and hot tub. Tennis courts, etc. Continental breakfast was first class. Unfortunately nothing hot. You could get an egg sandwhich for $9. Evening dining was pleasant with goof food, but limited menu. Best of all was you pay for 3 nites and got 4th nite free!!!!!!

Everything was beautiful. The staff helpful and friendly. Good parking. I saw 2 deer first thing in the morning in the field out my sliding doors. Stunning! The only thing I would change are the lights. They are all cool bulbs and too bright. Warm up those lights in the room. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for staying with us and taking time to provide us with a review. Our Katama section of Edgartown is definitely breath taking for sure. I appreciate the feedback on the lighting - we will look at the present and see what can be done. Hope to see you next season.

We really enjoyed ourselves at the Winnetu on our recent fall weekend getaway! Located on the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard it was nice and quiet down at South Beach. The whole island has a chill vibe this time of year which we love! We had fun and loved making our own waffles in the morning at the breakfast buffet which is included with the room. We stayed in a West Chop suite which was newly remodeled and fabulous, very comfortable. S’mores on Saturday night! The jacuzzi and heated pool were still open! Christina and Andi at the front desk were very accommodating. Ambar was so friendly and helpful. Lizzie and Tim really helped make our weekend stay at Winnetu simply amazing! We can’t wait to bring our expected baby boy with us next year!

The Winnetu Oceanside Resort was perfect for my 60th birthday girls’ weekend with my 4 sisters, sister-in-law, and 2 nieces! We had the Cape Pogue cottage and my nieces shared a suite nearby. We loved the hot tub and roof top deck at the cottage. The grounds are lovely and the property has a walking path to South Beach. Great staff who was very friendly and accommodating, shuttle service to Edgartown center, and lawn games to fill your time. The cottage itself was well appointed, clean, and though smallish was adequate for the 6 adults who shared it. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend Winnetu for your special occasions!

Thank you for your inquiry and interest in the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. We offer complimentary WiFi at our property and it does work, so your daughter will be able to work from your accommodation one day. Please bear in mind, however, that we are on an Island seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts and that there is the potential the WiFi may go in and out at times. We have many guests and employees who do work projects while on-site, so we do understand the necessity of the situation. We look forward to your upcoming visit and thank you again for your interest. Late summer is a very beautiful time on the Vineyard and we do hope your daughter will enjoy her carefree vacation days the other two days.

Thank you for your interest in the Winnetu Oceanside Resort. Our One-Bedroom East Chop Suites were renovated in 2017; that is correct. We updated the bathrooms in all of the East Chop Suites. Our West Chop Suite bathrooms are slated to be updated during this upcoming off-season. This year, we renovated our entire outdoor pool and pool deck area. We added a significantly larger-size pool, kiddie pool, expansive deck area, and brand-new hot tub. We take pride in all of our accommodations and employ a dedicated and hard-working housekeeping staff. You will find that no matter which accommodation you stay in at our Resort, they are all clean and we place a lot of importance on attention to detail. Please view our website (under the Accommodations page) for photos of each of our accommodation types. In addition, our Reservations Office will be happy to answer any further questions you may have. You can reach them, toll-free, at 866-335-1133. We look forward to welcoming you.

Hi. Thanks for your question. Our East Chop Suites are slightly smaller (475 sq. ft.) They feature one semi-private bedroom with a King bed and one bathroom (with a shower or tub/shower combination). There is also a pull-out Queen sleep sofa and a pull-down Twin bed. This suite sleeps up to 5 people (2 adults & 2 to 3 kids). There is also a kitchenette, living/dining area, and a private deck or patio off of the bedroom. Our East Chop Suites were renovated last year. Our West Chop Suites are slightly larger (at 510 sq. ft). They also feature a semi-private bedroom with a King bed and 1 and 1/2 bathrooms (all main bathrooms include a tub/shower combination). There is a pull-down Twin bed and a pull-out Queen sleep sofa. These suites also feature a living/dining area, kitchenette, and a private deck/patio off of the living area. They sleep up to 5 people (2 adults and 2-to-3 kids). If you're looking for a South Beach view, choose the top (3rd floor). A partial water view is visible on the 2nd floor. Some families like our 1st floor because the deck/patio opens directly onto our expansive front lawn where their children can run around. Please contact our Reservations Team at 866-335-1133 (toll-free) for more detailed information. They will be happy to help you. Thank you for your interest.
