MVacay's Mission
I love the island and consider myself a personal cheerleader for every new business that opens on Martha's Vineyard. Our mission is to create a space so everyone can equitably access and explore what makes MV beautiful.
I care a lot about equity of promotion - It matters to me to promote smaller events and businesses that get less coverage. I’m always seeking out new, sole proprietor, first year in business, BIPOC and women-owned businesses who I can amplify. More popular events and older island organizations can get a lot of attention and media, and while I definitely support some of them, I know what it means to be scrappy and do it all yourself. This is why 25% of our ads are free to businesses who need and deserve it most.
Every subscription, sponsorship and paid ad is a financial contribution to help improve and expand MVacay and further this mission.
Apply a 10% discount when purchasing 3 months, 15% discount when purchasing 6 months, and 20% discount when purchasing 1 year.

You can gift an experience - a meal, hotel stay, event ticket or activity. In exchange for gifted experiences or press passes, Lis agrees to publish about any event or service that she has a positive experience with. The photographs and summary will organically be posted within a roundup or post 3-5 times within the year following the collaboration. Lis holds all editorial rights over which photos are published and the summary of the experience. Opportunities are limited to work during the dates and times provided by MVacay (remaining availability: December 2024, April, June, August 2025).
We can help support your hosts and concierges with timely resources to ensure your guests have a streamlined, easy experience visiting Martha’s Vineyard.
We can turn any of our guides into physical, color one-pager print outs for you to distribute to guests. We are happy to white-label these with the name of your organization and collaborate on the guides your guests request most often.
We provide timely insight into weekly events without you needing to have a local expert consolidating this information. Save yourself hundreds of hours of research and provide visitors with guidance to improve their stay. This can look like:
Creation of weekly, custom PDF printouts branded with your logo that share island happenings (you can also share these via email with guests)
QR code table tents or postcards for quick on the go info
