If traveling from Boston, you've got a few options:

1. Bus - Take the Peter Pan bus from Logan Airport or South Station to Woods Hole, Falmouth. From there, you will take the Steamship Authority Ferry directly to Martha's Vineyard. It will drop you in either Oak Bluffs or Vineyard haven, where there will be a number of taxis that can take you to your hotel.

2. Car - Drive from Boston to Woods Hole, Falmouth. From here, you can choose to park in the Steamship Authority lots for ~$15/day and take the free shuttles to the Ferry. Otherwise, you can take your car onto the ferry, but be sure to book your roundtrip car tickets for the ferry ASAP as they fill up!
