Martha's Vineyard Recs?

[preppy]

My H and I are looking to rent a house for a week this summer on Martha's Vineyard and aren't sure which area we want to be in. We found two houses, both on the water, one is walking distance to vineyard haven and the other is walking distance to edgartown. I haven't been to the vineyard since I was a kid and don't know much about which area we should try and be closer to. Any suggestions on these two areas of the vineyard?

Personally, I loved the Edgartown area better than Vineyard Haven. I think the beaches on the south coast are beautiful and have bigger waves. Enjoy, sounds awesome!

I've only been once and in the off season and we stayed here www.winnetu.com/ You can definitely visit all of the towns while your there... but I'd rather be a bit further from the Oak Bluff so I'd say stay near Edgartown

Thanks for the suggestions, looks like edgartown it is!

Definitely Edgartown. No question.

Now I want to go back to the Vineyard! We had a great meal at www.yelp.com/biz/alchemy-edgartown and the Seafood Shanty has an awesome patio/deck
