Planning a Martha's Vineyard Bachelorette for Your Group Size

Six vs ten vs fourteen: beds, baths, and dinner seats before you promise one reservation.

Count beds, then dinner seats

Ten people cannot just squeeze into the cute in-town two-bedroom. Someone ends up on a sofa; someone ends up managing a waitlist. Count real beds. Then call the restaurant with the real number.

How headcount changes plans

Six to eight

Easier downtown rentals, simpler reservations, more walk-in flexibility.

Ten to twelve

House with a real dining table; call restaurants early; consider a private chef.

Fourteen plus

Up-Island houses, explicit transport, split subgroups for shopping or beach. Budget splits get weird without a spreadsheet — budget guide.
