Elizabeth Weedon

Elizabeth Weedon - Although I’ve worked for WeNeedaVacation.com since 2008, I’ve been a loyal homeowner on the site since early 1998, just a few months after the website was launched by the Talmadges. I grew up summering on the Vineyard and managed my family's rental home there since the mid-1980’s. I’m passionately devoted to the Vineyard – and to WeNeedaVacation, which I credit with enabling me to hold onto the special property that has been in our family for nearly a century. An enthusiastic member of the WNAV Homeowner Support Team, I endeavor to keep my finger on the pulse of the Cape and Islands vacation rental industry so that I can provide homeowners advice about how to ensure their booking success with us. With owner Joan Talmadge, I am also responsible for editing and writing much of the text on our website, our monthly newsletters, and Homeowner Blog posts.

  • Happy 20th anniversary Joan and Jeff! I always tell people about this wonderful website. I’ve had friends try to convince me to sign up for other rental websites as well and I tell them: ” I really don’t need to because I get everything I need from we need a vacation.com!” Happy 20th!🍾🥂🎂❤

  • Joan & Jeff, Thank you for your commitment, talents, and all you do!!!
