Lovely ACK Cottage

Great location, exactly as described and shown in pictures. Super cute, quiet and private cottage. Perfect for two couples (with only one bathroom three couples might have been a little trickier) Cons: (1) Only two mirrors in the whole apartment- made for girls getting ready more difficult; (2) Beds and pillows are a little worn/old; (3) No garbage disposal; and (4) No outdoor shower.

Magically Nantucket

This property is utterly charming and embodies the best of Nantucket. It was well appointed, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Our two children (ages 10 & 11) loved the loft. I would highly recommend the property for small families!

Nantucket Cottage

It was a darling cottage. Great location. I would just recommend having cable tv. I think when you pay that price for that size property cable would be appropriate to offer to guests.

Spectacular in town Cottage

This is a wonderful property for a small family like ours, girls get away or if you just need some time for yourself. And who doesn't after the past year. Close to everything. Meticulously designed and a breath of fresh air.

Wonderful family Thanksgiving trip

My small family of 3 had such a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at this cottage. We found everything to be exactly as described and as depicted in the photos. The location was close enough to town to allow for an easy walk to shops, but also in a great jumping off spot for drives to other parts of the island. It was also super quiet. Though the bathroom was relatively small, it was very clean and functional for our needs. The kitchen had modern appliances that made meal prep easy. My 11-year old LOVED the loft area and claimed it for himself the moment we arrived. The king bed was extremely comfortable with awesome linens (we didn’t try the queen bed). Melanie provided helpful information whenever we had any questions and she had clearly put a lot of thought and care into designing the space for guests. We had zero complaints and would highly recommend this cottage for a small family or group of friends.

dirty and grounds very unkept. Pictures ARE NOT accurate.

This property was dirty on both the inside and outside. The grille was disgusting all the beds linens were stained as well as mattress pads...could not sit outside because furniture was dirty and couldn't open door because the lock was broken and screen ripped. Called the owner but never was fixed.

Unfortunately not what we expected

Although this small house is within walking distance to town, it was not what we had hoped. The property was not as pictured. There are several opportunities for updating (towels and linens, furniture), the bathroom is tiny and outdated, not super clean, the upstairs loft area is not safe for small children (plastic wrap on the mattresses), the front door is fake, and the furniture was worn throughout. These were just a few items that were disappointing. We love Nantucket but unfortunately our accommodations were not comfortable for our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 kids, 1 infant). We were hoping for a more charming, small, cozy, fresh and clean home. The property owner was responsive to communication, the house just needs some love.

Ladies overnight

Cute place. Cozy but plenty of room if you aren’t spending a ton of time at rental. Nice little outside seating area. Comfy beds. Best for 4 or 5. Loft has slanted eaves so tight but also fine for just sleeping. Kitchen well supplied. Would be nice to have shampoo and conditioner available but that is my only suggestion!
