Tuck’t in Back Cottage: Your In-Town Retreat on Nantucket Island

LAST CALL 2025 SPECIAL: Stay for 2, 3 or 4 nights during the upcoming holiday week/weekend at a discounted nightly rate of $399 so you may enjoy the splendors of our "Faraway Island" and save (special nightly rate applies to the nights of 10/6/25 thru and including 10/13/25).

Our 5-star-rated premier, in-town vacation rental property on Nantucket Island is within a short walk of Main Street's shops, restaurants, attractions and activities and thus has become home for a number of regular guests who simply love the amenities, charm, convenience and hospitality of a well-cared-for vacation rental sanctuary with everything you might need to make the perfect getaway for a few days, a week or even longer. 2026 is already booking up rapidly so please take a look at our offering and let us know if we can be of service to you in the late spring, summer or early fall of 2026. We'd love to welcome you at Tuck't in Back Cottage, one of Nantucket's most sought-after and delightful in-town stay options for one to maximally two adults.

Tuck't in Back Cottage consists of a bi-level "Nantucket Cottage" where you can pull up and enjoy a close in-town location without the noise, hustle-and-bustle and concentration of island vacationers and day trip visitors and yet get to the heart of the action within minutes.

The Cottage's lower level consists of a welcoming tiled mudroom containing your own private laundry facilities and access to the upstairs apartment. The spacious upper full-floor, studio apartment features a king bed, drop-leaf dining table, comfy living room seating and state-of-the-art bathroom and kitchen. The beautifully renovated, tile and marble bathroom includes an enlarged shower stall with rain shower head and hand controls with a lovely vanity and commode and is supplied with premium toiletries and plenty of stored extra bath and beach towels. The updated kitchen includes a stainless-steel refrigerator-freezer with automatic ice maker, top-of-line dishwasher, solid surface range and oven, and an array of smaller appliances (microwave, automatic drip coffeemaker, automatic can opener, toaster oven) along with every conceivable kitchen aid and houseware item you might need to make your visit pleasurable. Cable TV and WiFi is provided at no additional charge.

Outside you can enjoy your own private sundeck, outdoor shower and usage of all types of beach equipment, not to mention a designated off-street in-town parking space if you're using a vehicle on the island.

We think you'll agree that Tuck't in Back Cottage's amenities and convenience provide our guests a much better value than that of any costly island hotel or inn.

Please inquire today with any questions you may have and reserve before all our available dates become a thing of the past. We look forward to welcoming you at Tuck't in Back Cottage on beautiful Nantucket Island soon for a first or repeat visit, which understandably may very well become a tradition of yours for years to come...Nantucket has that effect on many people!

Please tell us a little about yourselves and the purpose of your visit when requesting a reservation so we may help you assess whether our property is the right option for you.

We look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks for reading this far!

Sincerely,
David & Jeffrey

Perfect Ladies Trip

We enjoyed our stay at Tuck’t in Back! Jeffrey and David were wonderful hosts. The check in process was simple, the property was clean, and had everything needed for our stay. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to town for shopping and dining. Conveniently located to the Wave stops if you prefer the bus. Thank you for hosting us!

Relaxing Nantucket Getaway!

We loved our stay at this cottage. It was the perfect size for a couple. It is obvious that David and Jeffrey spend a lot of time caring for the property to ensure a seamless guest experience! The outdoor shower was a great touch along with the private balcony, which we enjoyed having dinners on. We hope to return again for another summer trip. Thank you again for a great vacation!

David and I were very responsive, the unit was clean and had everything we needed upon arrival. They had a beautiful bouquet waiting for us from their garden. Amazing location, just a short walk from downtown/attractions, but far enough away where it is very quiet. We enjoyed morning coffee and evenings on the private porch after days of exploration (photo attached). Would highly recommend staying at tuck’t in back cottage and we definitely will be staying again. Perfect amount of space

An island gem!

We’ve never been to Nantucket before, and this spot was one of the best decisions we made! Perfectly located in the center of pretty much everything–10 minute walk to downtown and all the shops and restaurants, less than 10 minutes to the island’s live music venue, The Chicken Box, and super close to the beach too (although we Ubered there). The apartment itself was spacious, private, beautiful, and clean. Plus, an awesome outdoor shower. Jeffrey and David were incredible hosts. Accessible, communicative, and so so kind. Overall, one of our favorite vacations to date! Can’t wait to come back and would definitely stay here again.

Best little spot

This was perfect! Close to town, very walkable area, the hosts made sure we had everything we needed! They even brought us a local newspaper that had events happening that weekend we were there. Very thoughtful of them, couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on our first trip to ACK!

Great short getaway

We decided at the last minute to takeoff for a couple of days to celebrate my retirement. Jeffrey was very accommodating and helpful. The written instructions about check-in were clear, the place was adorable and immaculate and private, complete with the most gorgeous fresh flowers that he cut from his garden! Close but not too close to town. It was really everything that we could have asked for.
