How It All Began

In the summer of 1944, Tree and Warren Morse decided to buy a house. They had been renting for 10 years at a Menemsha cottage called “the Lobster Pot” and were now looking for their own. They saw a home with outstanding views of Menemsha Harbor, perched high on a rolling hill. The next day, they bought it and moved into what would soon become the Beach Plum Inn, known for decades for its good food and warm hospitality.

In 1969, the Inn fell into the hands of their daughter Carol, and her husband, Fred Feiner. Carol and Fred operated the Beach Plum with the same love of people and delighted many with wonderful food, music, and the best water view of any restaurant. The Vineyard experience involved catching the freshest fish, picking berries, and growing the tastiest vegetables, all of which found their way to the guest’s meals in the early days of farm-to-table living. For 15 years, they delighted everyone who came and helped many realize the Vineyard experience.

From an Inn to an Agency

Carol Feiner decided in 1979 to get her broker’s license and open Feiner Real Estate. Many of her Inn guests had fallen in love with the Vineyard and wanted to be home buyers. Carol wanted to stay connected with the guests and impart her knowledge of the Island. Jim Feiner grew up in this environment and he, like our other real estate agents, carries forth the same ideals of fine local living, good business, and love of the Vineyard today.

Feiner Real Estate Testimonials

She knows my house and the type of tenant who is best for it, better than any agent I have ever worked with in the last twenty years. I trust her completely and she brings me wonderful families who return and who love the house and become like friends over the years.
— Peter A., NY

Our agent has had 5 decades on the island and he is really connected. It was because of those connections that he found me a great piece of land that was not even on the market. He found renters for many years and then helped me sell and buy another house on the beach. Buying, selling and renting was all done professionally. He is very motivated and can really make things happen.
— Adam G., VT

Moving to Martha's Vineyard from Texas was a huge challenge but our agent was always able to answer questions and make enormously helpful suggestions about all the details of relocating here on the island. He has a lifetime of Island knowledge that we were constantly relying on to help us through the details of purchasing a property here.
— George and Maggie, TX

Working with our agent over the past years has been an absolute joy. She knows and understands the island better than anyone I've met. She takes equal time to get to know her clients and their needs. As we live in California, it's important we have great trust in individuals who helps us plan and pick out our Vineyard destination each summer. She is a matchmaker from heaven!
— J. Longley, CA

Thank you dearly for helping us realize our dream of owning a property on the island becomes a reality. Our agent persevered with professionalism, sincerity, and a keen ability to read clients. He stuck with us through our gung ho stages as well as the multiple lack luster periods of indifference as our lives got in the way. When he did share new listings they were never properties that were mass mailed to everyone on your list- they were hand selected and each one had potential for us. Not only do I now have the connection of a talented professional in your industry; I feel that we have a great friend too.
