Editor's Note: This article is part of MV Vacation's Local Partners spotlight series, our way of pointing readers to small island businesses we trust and recommend.
In West Tisbury, JADE House Bed and Breakfast puts guests up in a lived-in island home: a family-run bed and breakfast, not a rental, a few minutes from beaches, bike paths and the places most visitors want to see. Joy and Alan own the house and host the guests themselves.
JADE House has three private guest rooms on the second floor. Rooms can be booked one at a time, two at a time, or as a full suite, so the house works for solo travelers, couples, families, or groups of friends.
The Grand Room
A queen bed and a private en suite bathroom.
The Twin Room
Two twin beds and a trundle, good for kids or friends traveling together. It shares a hallway bathroom with the Queen Room.

The rooms are comfortable and quiet after a day out.
Booking all of them gets you the entire house to yourselves, and West Tisbury puts you in the middle of the island.
Guests stay on the second floor of the family's home. The rooms are simply furnished, with hand-picked art on the walls, and Joy and Alan welcome everyone in person. Their homemade breakfasts, made with local and organic ingredients, are a guest favorite, and they can do gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan.
Rates change with the season and availability. For current prices or to book, contact Joy directly:

For groceries: Stop and Shop has two island locations and Cronig's (an island institution since 1917) has stores in Vineyard Haven and West Tisbury. Stock up for picnics and save significantly.
A family reunion on Martha's Vineyard: what a whole-family house costs with the 11.7 percent tax and cleaning fee, why bedrooms decide how many it sleeps, the cheaper alternatives, walking twenty people onto the ferry instead of bringing cars, feeding the group, the one restaurant night to book a year out, and the free week.
Oak Bluffs or Edgartown: where to stay on Martha's Vineyard, compared on the ferry (the summer boat lands in Oak Bluffs), room rates ($200 to $400 vs $250 to $450 in August), nightlife (Circuit Avenue to 12:30 vs a 10 PM bylaw), restaurants, beaches, parking, children and couples, with the honest middle answer.
Radio Science runs silent DJ after-parties on Martha's Vineyard: headsets kept on the island, three channels, headset wrangling for rentals, tents and lights. The island's answer to the 10 PM outdoor music curfew at weddings.
Joshua Slocum, first to sail alone around the world, spent his last years farming in West Tisbury and vanished from Vineyard Haven harbor in November 1909. The voyage, the farm called Fag End, the last departure, and what a visitor can actually see: the harbor, a marker stone by a country road, the museum's Slocum papers, and the book itself.
The Martha's Vineyard honeymoon guide from a local: the best month to come (September), the eight inns that are actually romantic with 2026 rates, a five-day plan from Edgartown to the Aquinnah cliffs, the dinners worth a Resy reservation, the catboat and tall-ship sails, the dry-town bottle rule, and a worked budget for five nights.
How renting a house on Martha's Vineyard actually works: agencies versus owner sites, the January booking rush, weekly rents by size with the 11.7 percent tax on top, which town suits which week, what the lease leaves out (linens, keys, trash, air conditioning), the 2026 town rules on short-term rentals, the scams, and the beach passes that come with a lease.
