Longpoint Escape is what we like to call an emerging green rental. Every year we work towards the greening our our property for the health and comfort of families vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard, though it takes time and money. Emerging organic farms are farms that are making the transition slowly from conventional farming methods to all organics.
Some things that we implement to help us with this goal:
Pets and smoking are not allowed. This has always been a rule since we have begun renting our home in 2004.
Our green, lush lawn is 100% chemical free. Dependable Landscape in Vineyard Haven has worked hard to insure that our lawn, while being gorgeous, is kept that way without the use of harmful chemicals. Isn’t it nice to know your children can run around a lawn that has no chemicals?
I wash quilts, bed pads, comforter covers, and pillow covers on a regular basis. You would think this would be obvious. Not always true at every private rental!
We offer green cleaning products for you to use during your stay. We also off conventional cleaning products for those that prefer them. Isn’t is nice to know you have a choice?
We have the carpet and upholstery professionally cleaned once a year. Again, you think this is obvious – not always so.
We are exploring solar and wind for future additional power sources. These are expensive, and we want to do our research. Our home is in the perfect spot to take advantage of both of those options, so we are excited to see what happens!
Also, we are one mile from the paved bike paths.
Please, explore our site, view our pictures, get to know Longpoint Escape.
Please note: We CANNOT accommodate wedding or gatherings, and the house is at capacity at eight guests. Thanks for understanding.
