I had no idea when i walked in the door that my child would receive everything that they do. The prayers are much appreciated and this center serves the Lord!! Amen!! The owner is very caring and accommodating. She even gave my child a ride home once when I couldn't make it in time. I just love this place!!

My kids have fallen head over heels in love with (1) surf camp; (2) the private lessons with Russel…read moreand Nate this year; and (3) private lessons with Robbie and others in prior years. Kids do kind of run the place and there's massive turnover from year to year. But Gary (a Nantucket native) seems to consistently lead a fairly happy, good natured team. Instructors work really, really hard and, in our experience, have imparted some important wisdom about when to stand, when to jump ship, and when to take a wave. Maybe even more importantly, they've nurtured our kids' love of surfing -- and that may be a lifelong thing. In general, Cisco has beautiful, long, gentle waves, and Gary seems to use good judgment about when to cancel classes because of choppy waves or other unfavorable conditions. Mahalo.

Website said 8am so we were there, excited to surf. Waited for 35 minutes and no one showed. Left…read moremessage. Gary shows up with a surly unapologetic attitude, makes a sarcastic comment to me and my kids about getting out of the way so he can park his truck, and proceeds to deny that his website says 8am (see picture). I get that we're on island time and this is surfing, but there is no excuse for being rude to anyone and especially customers. You wasted an hour of 4 people's time this morning Gary.

If I lived on Martha's Vineyard I would like to live in Edgartown. The community is quaint,…read morehistorical, and very well maintained. There are wonderful restaurants and shops. Just outside of downtown are convenient markets and residential conveniences. Spent a day visiting Edgartown and neighboring areas. Had a nice brunch at a cozy yet popular eatery. Walked around the very accessible downtown. Contemplated renting bicycles as the area is quite flat...up until the easy laidback lifestyle of Martha's Vineyard set in and we quickly abandoned that idea. We did see others riding rental bicycles so know its possible. And after we circled the island and saw most of it, we contemplated going back to Edgartown for dinner. Almost... Highly recommend either staying in Edgartown or at the very least visiting it while on the island.

I'm thinking through this review very carefully as I don't want to diss a place that is still…read morerebuilding its programming.First, I have nothing but good things to say about the person assigned to be my liaison in this residency- Anne.. Noting that there is only one review--a negative one-- since 2017 is interesting. Things seem to have improved since then. I think that the people who organize this residency need to be very clear about some aspects as they are trying to rebuild their program. The living/studio space was not adequate as a studio, and more like an empty air b&b. A really good place for spouses and partners, but both have to be artists, in some sense of the word. The view from the room was scrubbery and not interesting to draw. I couldn't walk to any beach- an accessibility issue. They need to emphasize what 7 miles away from town really looks and feels like without transportation. Unless one is able to bike, one relies on irregular van trips to town for groceries, or the expense of Uber. Most of the time I was worried about grocery shopping. This interfered with concentration on work, the main reason people do residencies. It is also not handicap accessible. A mile separates the main farmhouse to the apartment/"studios"- a dangerous road after dark with no walkways, and with SUVs racing through (this being Nantucket 2025). They talk about it being self-structured and for independent people, but it is not easy to self-structure a working day when the plans are so loose. This is not a residency that supplies meals for the residents, as many do. Residents have to pay an additional fee for classes. I think it would be best if this program suspends its residencies till it has resolved issues like transportation, food access and community. There is a difference between being "self-structured" and leaving people at loose ends. A positive was the programming with music at the farmhouse once a week. Great potential for a cultural center. A positive suggestion is to have a poetry symposium. I learned a lot about what I can and can't do on a residency, should I do such a thing I the future. I realize I need more socializing, and it would have been good if there were a regular dinner hour with other residents. I would recommend going off-season. When the tourists and summer house McMansion people are gone one can really appreciate the island. Otherwise, going to town is one tourist trap after another.

This is the best high school on Cape Cod, providing students with rigors college prep academics,…read morerobust co-curricular activities, amazing sports program and a focus on the spiritual development of each student. My son was in the first graduating class this year! My other son is a sophomore there. The tuition is more than reasonable and the return on your investment is incalculable. I recommend this school with the highest regard. Chris Keavy, head of school, and his staff is absolutely amazing...but don't believe me, pop in sometime and see the school in action -- let your son or daughter shadow...you and they will love this place.
