Save now for Stroll and winter! Charming cottage, close to lower Main Street.

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding property and service, highly recommend "

Newly renovated house in Brandt Point, right near town and Children's Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Walking distance to downtown. Clean. We stayed during Christmas and had about 2-3” of snow. Host was prompt and replied early saying they were looking for someone to shovel the walkway (which wasn’t necessary). Would absolutely come back and stay here. Loved it!! Thank you!"

A Literary Oasis In The Heart Of Nantucket Town

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing! Such a beautiful place to stay, especially if you are a book lover! It is a great location, allowing you to easily walk to eat, shop and tour adorable Nantucket. Clean and very well-equipped, and the host was fantastic when our stay was unexpectedly extended because of weather and travel delays. Highly recommend!! The bookstore is also amazing. We visited it multiple times. We hope to return!"
