Nantucket-so relaxing

We loved our stay at Sweet Thing in Nantucket! We were away from the busy streets and right by the beach! The sunsets were incredible and we enjoyed eating at Mollie’s several times. We look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful weekend in Nantucket

The cottage was beautiful and we had a wonderful weekend. It was only a minute from our front door to the beach, to the bus into town, and to Millies. It was a great weekend and JP was a great host!

Magic Madaket

The location of the property is perfect! Walk to beach, magnificent sunsets and Millie’s. Could not have been better! The house is truly a “sweet thing with a perfect layout”! It is very cozy and I would recommend it!

Great stay

We loved our stay. Amazing location next to the beach and Millie’s, and easy use of the bus into town for the teens. Jp was great to deal with and quick to answer any questions. The description of the house is a little misleading - def not a 3 br. It’s a 2br with a pullout couch. Regardless, great spot.

Labor Day Getaway

JP is such a great host! This was our first trip to Nantucket and Sweet thing is a lovely place to stay. The house is well stocked with cooking supplies, towels, beach chairs and more! Our only complaint would be the mattress in the master bedroom. Even with that, it is a great place to stay. It is steps away from the most beautiful sunsets! Thanks so much!

We will definitely book again!

Myself, my boyfriend and our dog planned a long getaway weekend to Nantucket. We came across this property that was very fairly priced for the area. We enjoyed our stay here in the cottage so much. It was updated, clean, felt homey, the property was great and has water views. JP the host was extremely helpful and kind and made the whole process so easy for us. When we come back to Nantucket we will be staying here again and we would recommend to anyone to stay here as well!
