About Joan Talmadge: What began in 1996 as a way for Jeff and me to rent our Cape vacation home soon grew into WeNeedaVacation—and an entirely new career for me after years in education and publishing. Nearly three decades later, we're still at it, now with a wonderfully talented team and two of our children working alongside us. We live on the Cape year round, and it truly is magical in every season.
