If you want to leave the oversized fully fenced large backyard and venture into town, you will find that the house is a short walk to downtown Vineyard Haven. There you will find great restaurants, a book store, a grocery store, a pharmacy, ice cream, many shops, the beach and the ferry. The house is also on a bus route, making it easy to visit other town without a car.
Martha’s Vineyard has a great bus system! The bus is a “flag stop company” which means in addition to set stops, the bus will stop for you if you flag it down and are standing on the side of the road in the direction you want to go. Taking the bus from the Larrier House: All you have to do is leave the Larrier House, walk to the sidewalk, flag the bus and it will stop and pick you up. The bus leaves downtown Vineyard Haven ever 15 minutes starting at 7 minutes past the hour. The Number 1 bus will take you to downtown Edgartown.
