Lodging

Where should I stay?

Everyone will book their own lodging. The easiest plan is to stay in or near Oak Bluffs so you are close to the ferry, shops, restaurants, beaches, and the center of the trip.

Trina's lodging will be posted here

Once Trina makes her reservation, this will show the exact hotel so anyone who wants to stay nearby can use it as their anchor.

Why stay in Oak Bluffs?

Trina's notes specifically warn that transportation back to Oak Bluffs can be harder during August. Staying nearby reduces the need to depend on rides after activities.

  • Closer to many of the trip's planned activities.
  • Easier access to Circuit Avenue and Oak Bluffs restaurants.
  • Convenient for the Oak Bluffs ferry.
  • Better choice if you want to be near the group.

You do not have to stay at a hotel

Trina's notes also mention other hotels and Airbnbs across the island, with Summer Camp called out as another popular hotel.

If you choose another town, remember that August is busy and transportation may require more planning.

months

Do not wait until the last minute

Trina's planning note recommends reserving lodging about 11 months before the trip. For an August 2029 stay, that means beginning the serious booking process around September 2028.
