We loved our time at this property. Sally, owner and Frank the manager, were extremely helpful and intent on making this a wonderful vacation. It's proximity to down town was fabulous. The backyard garden and roses were lovely. Beds and baths, kitchen and living areas did not disappoint. Only warning are the steep stairs for anyone that has a mobility issue, as all beds are upstairs. We loved it!

Beautiful historic home close to downtown!
Traveled to Nantucket from NH with family, which included our 16 month old granddaughter, and had a wonderful time! The location is great, only a few minutes walk to the heart of downtown. The house was immaculate and filled with lots of nooks and crannies to explore, and the history of the place can be felt the moment you walk through the door. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the host very accommodating and friendly, which we really appreciated. There was a lot of literature on the history of the house and Nantucket in general, which my husband really enjoyed. Overall, an amazing property and would definitely stay again whenever we happen to return to Nantucket!

Beautiful Family getaway
The owner of the house was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The house was spacious, incredibly unique and a beautiful blending of an antique sea captain’s home combined with up to date amenities. Great location- close to town and quiet street. Truly a unique experience as there were so many beautiful reminders of the past yet gracefully presented and very tastefully done. A home we will always remember.

Interesting house
Beautiful historic house, lots of room, great hostess/owner - ran into her moving in -Sally is terrific. Perfect location in town. Had all the beach stuff we needed and then some. Only caveat I would say is if you have someone in your party that has trouble navigating stairs you may want to discuss with owner - stairs to bedrooms up stairs are small and winding - part of the charm for our crew!

Amazing home!!
I stayed in this wonderful home with my 3 sisters. The house was beyond my expectations. It has a rich Nantucket history and the accommodations are 5 star. We loved sitting on the patio at night and the garden was breathtaking. We had so much room to spread out, as there were two living rooms as well as a dining room that we used to enjoy our lobsters from Sayle's. The house manager was quick to respond to any questions we had, and it was a magical stay. I have been going to Nantucket for over 20 year, this was one of the best homes I stayed in. The location is so close to town, Children's Beach, Jetties Beach. and everything we needed. My sisters walked to town morning, noon and night. We loved our stay, we hope to be back again next year!!!

A Nantucket Gem
Our family loved staying in this beautifully restored quintessential Nantucket home conveniently located in-town where we wanted to be yet within walking distance of Jetties and Steps beaches. Spacious common areas and outdoor patio comfortably accommodated our three generations. This island home is one of our favorites, and its owner is welcoming and very helpful.

Wonderful stay in historic home
A fabulous in-town location and lovely home with lots of charm. This property had everything we needed for our family including plenty of linens, beach chairs as well as a large, well equipped kitchen which was a nice surprise for such an old home. The property owner as well as manager were in touch as soon as we arrived to make sure everything was in order.

This house is even better in person than the photos. It’s history is palpable and grounding, but yet the house still felt summery and light. It is surprisingly quiet despite the proximity to town. The owner and caretaker are wonderful.

Amazing space and wonderful amenities!
We spent two wonderful weeks in Nantucket at this beautiful home! There was more than enough space for our group of 5 adults. Loved the outdoor space and ease of access to town. The kitchen was equipped with everything we could imagine - including a blender and high-end coffee machine. We also had access to bikes, a grill, outdoor shower and beach chairs and towels! We hope to be back ASAP!

Lovely Home in a Perfect Location
True and authentic Nantucket cottage. Walk in and out of town, to the ferry, beaches. Couldn't be more ideally located. Outfitted with everything you would need for your stay- towels and beach chairs and a grill and everything you'd want in a kitchen and beautiful linens, towels and touches in the bathroom. We loved our stay!
