Hey Ashley. I worked at the Winnetu in Edgartown last summer. What would you like to know? Groceries are expensive!!! There's the Stop & Shop in Edgartown, and it's pricey! Have a great summer!
oh thank you for writing back! I just wanted to to know the ins and outs of town, stuff i cant find in a book! :) Where the cool places are to go and check out or how the other hotel employees are in the town? I have housing, im sharing a room with some other employees in a house. Its my first time working a seasonal job like this so anything about the area or what to expect would be awesome!!
Thank you for the advice!
You'll have a lot of fun! The beach is great, and there are a lot of great restaurants and stuff where people hang out. You'll definitely want to go to the cliffs in Aquinnah. Where are you working?
The Kelley House, owned by the harbor view.. its awesome cause my last name is Kelley! I am leaving may 25 and am beyond excited! Ive seen pics of those cliffs and they are beautiful!

Take the bus for the busy season Memorial day through Labor day. Buses run every 15 minutes. You won't be able to find a place to park at the beach during the summer either. There are a couple movie theater up there. The movies come out a few weeks later though. Gas is usually about $.75 more a gal. than the mainland. Clothes are very expensive, and the stores are botiques. Cool places in Edgartown are The Wharf. They have a band on weekends. You must take the ferry over to Chappy one day. It has the prettiest beach there. Any other questions let me know. You can e-mail me at lorijop@netscape.net or check my pic. of the island out on myspace. just search by my email. The island is cold. 65 degrees there feels like 50-55. There is very little humidity. Warm wheather doesn't really start till July.
