Lisa Bigony, owner of Saltaire, a former rental property, now full-time residential home on Nantucket, created a vacation oasis that sold out for five summers in a row. Her attention to detail and warm welcoming know how made Saltaire a blueprint that every owner should follow when putting their own home out for rental. We asked her to share some of her tips to help turn your property into profit.
Rental property ownership has long been an affordable way for homeowners to enjoy a vacation home, with the benefits of supplemental incomes. With the recent success of AirBNB and the dozens of rental home search sites, helping your property stand out among all of the choices is more important than ever.
It is so important to offer your guests a clean, uncluttered and safe home for their vacation.

Anyone familiar with Martha’s Vineyard real estate knows the name Patrick Ahearn. The award winning architect has over 200 completed projects in the village of Edgartown alone, ranging from luxurious summer retreats to reconstruction
Next up was a stunning property that was originally built for the island’s first blacksmith in 1682. The reconstruction incorporated the original entrance and much of the home was reimagined using the layout of the original. With a spectacular main house featuring every amenity that you could want, the adjacent guest home features a slope roof that beautifully accentuatesthedormers.

We embarked and quickly walked up to our hotel, the classic Spring House, a historic 19th century hotel. The hotel itself is a throwback with its wraparound veranda, red french sloping roof, a towering cupola, and breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean. A row of white adirondack chairs line up facing the water, beckoning you take a seat and a load off. The interior is equally as charming; there is a distinct Victorian era feel to the architecture. Our water view room had a delightful old school brass key ring, but still felt refreshingly modern and updated. The hotel bar located on the main floor porch beckons with a fantastic cocktail menu, but it will have to wait as it’s time for the beach!

First, we fueled up at with a fantastic breakfast at Ernie’s, a fun little cafe located down on Water Street.

A good hillside climb and 30 minute walk up Spring Street yields a breathtaking view of the south end of the island. The historic Southeast Lighthouse is the highlight of this trip and the offshore windmills reminds you just how quaint and remote a spot this really is. You can walk further down to the entrance to the bluffs that is marked and easily visible from the road. There’s a small parking area and a path leading to a steep set of 141 stairs; once down, you can navigate your way through the rocks to one of the most beautifulstretchesofbeachavailable.

My perfect day on island starts with........
I love sandwiches from Something Natural, always with a chocolate chip cookie on the side. The little ones nap after lunch, so I’d read a new book while my oldest draws or plays lego next to me.
thegalley thecounter mitchell'sbookcorner something
A walk to town for coffee at The Counter on Main Street. After my Hazelnut Iced Coffee is secured, I’d stop by Mitchell’s Book Corner to browse the books, and pop into a few other stores while I finish my coffee.
At home, I’d spent the morning swimming with my three kids, my husband and my parents, before stopping for lunch on the back porch.
After baby bath, dinner and bedtime, I’d head for dinner at Galley Beach followed by cold pie leftovers from Bartlett’s Farm, usually eaten directly out of the pan with a fork at the kitchen counter. natural

CHATHAM
Hydrangea Walk is recognizable on Chatham’s Shore Road. The public facade is an icon that has been the subject of tourists’ photos and postcards since the house was originally built in 1938.

Walking around the streets in the ‘Sconset section of Nantucket is always a treat. But the first two weeks of July is the magic moment when the neighborhood comes alive with the bright red and pink blooms of the French Roses that cover the cottages all over town. You will feel like you’ve been transported to an English countryside as you walk up and down the streets with little cottages, fences and trellises that are blanketed in bursts of bright red roses, with many of them framing the quarterboards that spell out the delightful names of these quaint little homes.

Down every street and lane, the little cottages always seem welcome and inviting to all the passerby It only adds to the wistfulness that you get when walking down these beautiful streets You just want to walk in and stay for a while, or a lifetime 'SCONSET SUMMERS ARE MADE FOR AN OPENDOOR POLICY

Taking a leisurely summer stroll down North Water Street in Edgartown is always full of color and wonder. Historic Captain’s homes sit majestically on every corner, with the harbor views at the end of every cross street. And during the month of July, the front yards are a sea of gorgeous blue blooms. It was no wonder we were inspired to create our Edgartown Hydrangea Collection with the palette of soft to medium blues and greens and grays from the garden and shingles of this gorgeous home that is a showstopper every season.

The event included a special raffle, a delicious breakfast spread from Island Kitchen.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE The brightly colored Main Street and Flying Horse Carousel make the town of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard a beautiful site in any season. The town is one of the island's principal points of arrival for summer tourists, and is noted for its "gingerbread cottages" and other well preserved mid to late nineteenth-century buildings. .1topehtotdeddaneebevahsrewolF.2knalbwonsingisnoitamrofnIehT.3htoobnoitamrofniehtmorfdevomerneebsahtnevA.4singisemoclewehtnoUehT srewolfehtdnihebneddih.5gnissimsirewotwolleyehtfopotehttawodniWehT.6gnissimsiESROHdrowehtfopotehT.7eratsoppmalehtfosmottobehT gnissim.8deretlaneebsahngisehtnonrettapecittalehT.9gnissimsiwodniwroodehtningisllamsehT.01gnissimeraenilrewopehtdnihebseertehT CAN YOU FIND THE DIFFERENCES IN THESE TWO SAME BUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PHOTOS OAK BLUFFS, MA

PARTING SHOT
This isn't the best photo I've ever taken but it's one of my favorites. Because it's the firsttimeIeverrounded BrantPoint on my first ever visit to Nantucket. I had just lost my mom and planning coastal escapes was one of the things I started doing to help heal my broken heart. It was love at first site. I like to think that discovering and getting to know this little island was my mother's parting gift to me. I truly feel like I'm coming home every time the ferry pulls into port, and I know I leave a little piece of my heart behind every time I leave. Whenever I'm on the island, I love to take sunrise walks out to the Point and just sit with a cup of coffee and watch the first ferriesofthedaycomein.
