Signs foreshadow successful summer for rental market
Consumer confidence and rate of returning visitors hinges largely on state regulations and vaccine rollout.
The Island rental and business communities are gearing up for what is anticipated to be a very busy Summer.
Last April, prospective renters were wondering whether their Vineyard vacations were still a go, as Massachusetts began to shut down restaurants, lodging, and other aspects of the service and hospitality industry.
At that point, the uncertainty created by pandemic restrictions was in full force. After state guidance became more solidified, many folks traveled to the Island to escape their city domiciles some bought houses here, and others took on short- or long-term rentals.
