Walk to Town! Bike or Bus to Beach! Charming Cottage on Quiet, Private Lane

Located on a private lane just a short walk to town and easy access to bike paths and beaches, our property is a quintessential Nantucket getaway. Our property consists of two cottages (Cottage A, Leeward and Cottage B, Windward), duplex style, with separate entrances and decks and a large shared yard (see listing #602380 for Cottage A). There is also a separate studio on the property that the owners use occasionally.

Cottage B (Windward) has two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and main living room with efficient kitchen and living space. Both bedrooms have full size beds. The deck with comfortable outdoor furniture and a Weber gas grill overlooks the large shared, nicely landscaped yard. There is also ample off-street parking. Quality linens included. Beach chairs, beach towels and small cooler bag available for use. Just bring yourself! The cottage is equipped for four (4) guests and that occupancy limit is very strict. If you have questions or concerns, please ask.

If you are traveling with small children, we can help connect you to a local rental company that can provide anything else you might need for your stay. Also ask about bike rentals!

The kitchen is efficiently updated with an LG refrigerator, compact stove, microwave and a dishwasher, and everything that you would need for a week's getaway is provided. Our Keurig coffeemaker can make a single cup using a pod, or a pot using coffee grounds.

The bathroom features marble floors and tile walls with a modern glass shower surround.

Outside you will find a large professionally landscaped yard and a convenient outdoor shower with on demand hot water and a dressing area for privacy.

While just a short walk to Main Street for shopping and dining along with the harbor area- the cottage is down a secluded lane that is quiet and a great place to relax.

WiFi and a flat screen TV with Cable TV are provided.

There is a security camera located on the end of the Cottage B overlooking the driveway area that is monitored by the hosts. There is also a motion-activated light in the same location to illuminate the driveway after dark (the light turns on temporarily and then turns off automatically). The walkway is lit by solar-powered landscape lighting and your cottage has an exterior light by the entrance that can be switched on and off from inside the cottage. Please let us know if you have any questions about these features.

We offer a discount for stays of 7 nights or more. Inquire about a monthly rental at reduced rate and no lodging tax (rental period must be more than 31 days).

With such a short season, we have a strict cancellation policy. We recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance to mitigate the risk of disruption due to illness (including COVID), transportation issues, etc. We will try to work with you in the case of extreme circumstances but may not be able to in every situation. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.

Fabulous
We had a fabulous stay. The communication and check-in were seamless, and anything expected of us during our stay was clearly explained. It was the perfect distance from town, close enough to bike and walking paths, and overall a beautiful cottage. We would love to one day come back to Nantucket and stay here again!

Fabulous spot!
We had a great stay at this cute cottage! It was about a 17 minute walk into town with sidewalks. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful before we got there and the house was stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend, including lands end bedding and bathroom linens (the best!! :) would absolutely recommend this cottage and would absolutely stay here again!

Charming cottage tucked away but close to town
We had a great stay. Windward Cottage is nicely appointed, clean and very well stocked. We especially appreciated that it came with beach chairs and beach towels. While on the smaller side, the outdoor deck and table, grill and access to a beautiful outdoor shower made it very enjoyable. It is quiet, set back from the street and is beautifully landscaped. We would definitely stay there again.

Everything we expected!
We had a great visit here at this little cottage. The pictures were accurate, the process of everything was a breeze, we had a great time. The cottage is so cute and the yard is great! It's not a bad walk to town, either. Everything is really well explained and laid out, so things like recycling weren't an issue.

This cottage is perfect - look no more !! The location is close to town, it has a large sunny deck and beautiful back yard. The unit is immaculate and very comfortable. You can walk to the grocery store and other Nantucket highlights. Easy access to restaurants and the bus route. The owners are extremely helpful. We will be back !!

Wonderful property
Gorgeous landscaping and outdoor deck. All amenities. We walked and ubered to different places for our family wedding venue. Comfortable beds. Well appointed kitchen. Definitely uber to and from seastreak. Shared the duplex with family which made it extra fun. But each unit is set up for privacy. Spotless. Quiet.

Home sweet home!
Great location, private and tucked away yet close to town. Well equipped and cozy with lovely deck, landscaped yard and outside shower. Especially nice to have beach chairs and towels. The owners answered questions/concerns promptly. Only one suggestion would be a dresser or bed with drawers(like in the other bedroom) for some added clothes storage (however, there is a washer/dryer, so I'll bring less next time!) Very charming, I hope to return again. Thank you, Kendra and Phil

Nantucket Visit
Our stay in Nantucket could not have been more perfect! This was our third summer vacationing on the island and this was by far our favorite accommodation. Kendra and Phil were very responsive before, during and after our stay. The cottage was absolutely perfect! It is not far from town to walk, buses can be easily accessible from the location, and overall everything was great. We had everything we needed as far as towels, chairs, kitchen tools, etc . The backyard was perfect for grilling, enjoying meals outside and our puppy had an absolute blast having an outdoor area, especially coming from the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and hosts. Thank you!

CLEAN! CLEAN! CLEAN and perfect all around!
We just finished up a week long stay at the cottage. It was a 5/5!! The cottage was cozy, yet perfectly appointed and the attention to detail was superior. We are a family of four two adults/two teens and we didn’t feel cramped or inconvenienced. It’s a perfect location to town and a perfect starting point for travel across the island. What impressed me the most was how clean the cottage was on the inside and the outside. Perfect!! Perfect!!! Perfect!! We will definitely be back!!!

Why stay at a B & B or Inn when you can stay here . . .
Just returned from a long weekend in Nantucket and we had the pleasure of staying at Kendra and Phil's beautiful cottage. I want to thank Kendra and Phil for allowing us to re-book our trip due to the hurricane at absolutely no charge. This speaks very highly about their character and empathy for others. The location was picture perfect. It was a short walk into town. The cottage was immaculate and charming. There is a fabulous deck with a sunny exposure and a spacious yard. The kitchen is nicely equipped and there is a gas grill along with table for four on the deck. We were able to have breakfast in and relax in the morning vs. running out to eat. This cottage is a secret gem !! We will definitely rent this cottage again. Patti Ryan
