April 8th and temperatures on Martha's Vineyard reached the 60's this past weekend giving us a teaser and taste of summer days to come.  Supporters were peeling off the layers at the various Spring sports games across the island on Saturday,  restaurants are re-opening and revealing new decor and delicious menus, daffodils are starting to bloom and the garden centers are starting to get stocked up for Easter as year round residents start to come out of hibernation or return from winter travels to open up their homes

We're reminded of long summer beach days at Philbin beach and the Aquinnah Cliffs in this video produced by Ozoraco for us last year for the sale of the "Mondriain", or "Painted" House on Moshups Trail .  This iconic Martha's Vineyard property changed hands on January 31st 2019 for $2,150,000. Tea Lane Associates represented both buyer and seller in the transaction, and the buyers plan to keep the house as is for the time being.

On Dec 28 2018, Governor Baker signed the new short term vacation rental law effective Jan 1, 2019 (yes, 1 business day to implement).  Since then Tea Lane Associates, like many real estate companies, insurance companies, home owners and brokers have been scrambling to understand and comply with, the new laws for the busy 2019 summer Martha's Vineyard rental season.
