Bag & Shag was born from a very real challenge faced by visitors and hosts on Martha’s Vineyard. With so few hotels, travelers often opt for short-term rentals in private homes, creating a unique situation. During the busy season, there’s only a narrow window—just a few hours—when guests can check out and homes can be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the next arrival.

Meanwhile, flight and ferry schedules often mean visitors arrive hours before their scheduled check-in, leaving them stranded with heavy luggage and nowhere to store it comfortably. At the same time, rental owners struggle to hold onto their guests’ luggage while cleaning teams work tirelessly to ready the home.

Recognizing this common dilemma, Bag & Shag was created to bridge the gap. We provide a seamless solution that takes the burden off both travelers and hosts—allowing visitors to enjoy Martha’s Vineyard stress-free, and hosts to prepare their homes without the hassle of luggage logistics. It’s a straightforward solution that helps ensure all island visits are more comfortable and hassle-free for everyone.
