We loved our stay! Lovely house and perfect amount of space. Beautiful pool and back yard - we used it every day! The house was clean and the owners were very pleasant and helpful. I would love to stay here again next summer! Highly recommend.

Great place near everything. There’s a bus stop a few steps away so if you take the time to learn the routes you can get around easily. Also a grocery store 10 min walk. Hot tub and pool were great and we watched a movie poolside by the fire.

We absolutely loved our stay! The property was perfect—exactly as described, incredibly quaint and charming, while still being clean and comfortable. It had the perfect rustic Nantucket feel and was exactly what we needed for our trip.The outdoor space was a huge highlight. The pool was phenomenal, the backyard movie projector was so much fun, and the fire pit was divine. The location was also fantastic—very central and convenient to everything we wanted to do on the island.Our host was communicative, helpful, and wonderful to work with throughout our stay. We truly loved the property and would absolutely stay here again!

Shabby house not worth the price

The house needs some much-needed updates. While we enjoyed the hot tub, it was too cool to go in the pool. Think the outdoors is the selling feature. The inside of the house needs updating and even the landscape is pretty neglected.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2022
Hi Susan, we apologize that our property did not meet your expectations. The house is exactly as shown on the pictures. We have also clarified in the title and description of the listing that this is a “rustic” house and have set the rates accordingly. Otherwise, both the pool and hot tub are heated. We strive to provide the best experience for our guests. I wish you had reached out to us at check-in and let us know you were unhappy with the house so we could have refunded you. Since we did not hear from you, we thought you had enjoyed your stay.

Fabulous Outdoor Amenities

Rent this house for the outside, not the inside. The inside is basic but has everything you need. The outside is fantastic! We loved the pool and hot tub, both of which are spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The large seating area, which includes a long dining table and lounge chairs, makes being outside very comfortable. And the outdoor fire pit and entertainment center are so much fun. You can have a luxurious, indulgent vacation without ever leaving the property. Our best days were spent hanging out at the pool during the day, barbecuing for dinner, and then watching movies by the fire. You really never have to leave, nor will you want to.

Thanksgiving 2022

We have been spending years on Nantucket for Thanksgiving. When the house we spend our Thanksgiving celebration at, had sold this year we booked this house for the 1st time. The house was great, room at the table for 10 adults and the kitchen had plenty of counter space for the turkey and all our sides. Since it was November we couldn't use the beautiful pool or spa, but we did use the propane fire pit and large movie screen outside. It is an older home but large bedrooms with big tv's and both bathrooms look newly renovated. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need for a fantastic meal or a relaxing breakfast. The kitchen with open living room was great since I spend a lot of time cooking, your able to cook and still socialize with the family. No views being the neighborhood it is in but great spot with walking distance to supermarket, Cumberland farms and a few restaurant's. Or you can walk just a little further to downtown main street. The host was incredibly communicative with any and all of our needs, thanks again for everything.

Nice outside, dated inside

We enjoyed another week on Nantucket. The new pool and outside cinema are great. The house needs attention though. Suggest new beds, furniture and less noisy airco’s. All in all a bit expensive for what you get. But hey, it’s Nantucket and it is about outdoor living and beaches, so overall lovely stay.

Great pool and hot tub

This is a great house if you plan to spend time outside by the new pool and hot tub. There is also a great BBQ area and nice dining area. The house is small but can accomodate a lot of guests. It has some wear to it, but is highly functional. You can walk to coffee and town (25 min), take the bus, bike or drive so location is fairly central.

Pool and hot tub are great!

This property has a pool and hot tub that my kids loved playing in. I'd say this was the main reason for getting the property and that it's about 1.2 miles walking into town. The house is definitely small though and the floors do creak when you walk upstairs. It's definitely an older house and it felt crammed at times. Also, there is no AC on the main floor, which was clearly mentioned in the listing, but in July it gets very hot inside. The rooms do have AC. That said, the outside area was a huge draw for us and the pool really was what occupied my kids (though there is no pool cover, so we had our eyes on younger ones like a hawk). The owners/caretakers were very easy to communicate with and very responsive.

Mid Island gem!

The property is exactly as described - rustic and homey with plenty of well thought out space. The backyard is incredible! It’s huge, the pool and hot tub are fantastic. The seating was plentiful and comfortable. We also loved the fire pit for s’mores. It’s in a perfect location and so close to the beach and town. Iliana was great and super responsive. We hope to return!

Great place for those who explore.

House was great, the owner was great to work with. The house is function, not alot of art or pictures, but we where walking into downtown all the time so we saw the island! Great place at a great price for Nantucket.
