From the Ferry in Vineyard
Haven, it's just a short walk to Mansion House at the beginning of
Main Street - where the charm of yesterday is artfully blended with
the conveniences and amenities of today.
 You
can leave your car in America!
It’s much easier to leave your car on the mainland. All the
passenger only boats that come to the Vineyard have on site parking
so you walk on the boat without reservations.
We have great public buses, rental cars, taxis & bikes right
out Mansion House’s front door.
