"It's long been said in real estate, location, location, location. This property has it. Easy walk to cliff walk, Ritz Carlton. Quiet neighborhood. Spacious home."

Modern Coastal Retreat, Walk to Downtown HMB & Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing. The hosts were so prompt in getting us any information needed before arrival and during our stay. Wonderful hosts. The house is so we clean and so beachy and homey. We can’t wait to come back. The location is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to the beach often and also to Main Street for shopping and meals. We don’t want to stay anywhere else. Can’t wait to come back."

Small Beach Cottage near the Coastal Trail and The Ritz

8/10 Good

"We give this property a Good rating, rather than Excellent, mainly because, as it is described, it is very small. We stayed there for two weeks, which was too long for such a small place. If you have a dog, the best thing about the place is that it has a private, enclosed yard, so your dog can run and sniff off-leash."

"We loved staying in this house. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything I needed to make an early breakfast before my husband left to play golf. The fenced yard was great for our dog. The house has a lot of nice windows to let in the light. The neighborhood is quiet and the location is excellent for everything we wanted to do. We will definitely be back."

Nantucket Penthouse - walk to restaurants, beaches, activies & so much more

10/10 Excellent

"The Nantucket Penthouse was an amazing place to stay! It is decorated a little on the contemporary side, and the colors are beautiful!We had 2 adults in the master bedroom with a king bed and 3 teenagers upstairs in the loft. 2 Queen beds. The loft area has a lot of space and a good cooling system if it is a warm day or night. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed including a cuisineart coffee pot and pod coffee maker which made the best coffee in the morning. We ate out a few nights and I also cooked spaghetti for the teens, with french bread and salad. There was every thing we needed in the kitchen to make it feel like a home cooked meal. Very nice fridge with freezer as well. The one bathroom with shower and tub worked fine for having 3 teens and 2 adults. The living room with a large TV was very comfortable. The L shaped couch with modern coffee tables was great for our movie night with popcorn. Check-in and check out was very easy. The host was friendly and very accomidating with my lack of computer technology skillsI have stayed in several locations and the Nantucket Penthouse is by far one of my favorites. My rating for the Nantucket Penthouse is a 10 out of 10."
