About this property

Nantucket Beach House - private beach

Right on the beach. Our deck is 110 feet from the bluff. You can watch the ocean from the house. 4 Queen bedroom, 3 bath beach house with private beach on the South Shore of Nantucket (Madequecham Valley) provides maximum privacy in an area of few houses surrounded by open and protected land reached by dirt road.

Private beach steps are only 110 feet from the house, along a pretty path. PS VRBO's map is wrong. VRBO map seems to indicate we are a mile from the beach, and says it's a 7 minute drive, but that's incorrect. Our house sits on the bluff overlooking the beach and ocean. We think VRBO is incorrectly pegging "beach" to the public beach nearby.

The spacious, light-filled, open floor plan hosts a modern kitchen, LR, and DR with fantastic views of the ocean. The DR opens to a very large, open deck overlooking the ocean, with two outdoor dining areas (one seats 10, the other seats 4), sitting areas, and a hammock.

Master BR suite on 2nd floor has a private bathroom and office area, plus two private decks offering sweeping views of the ocean, moors, sunrise, and sunset. All 4 bedrooms have Queen beds with new, organic mattresses, new sheets, new duvet covers. One BR opens to large front deck overlooking the ocean.

DR has new farmhouse dining room table and chairs. LR has newly upholstered furniture (please be careful not to spill on it, as we love the new patterns and they're hard to replace). LR has Satellite TV. Kitchen has a new (June 2022) refrigerator and washer-dryer; new (Aug. 2020) gas range, new tools, new cutting boards, new dinnerware, new flatware, new steak knives, new glasses, etc. Outdoor shower. New Weber charcoal grill (September 2021). Linens, beach towels provided.

Tenants may use owner's beach umbrellas, deck umbrella, boogie boards, and paddleboards if careful. Tenants will be charged replacement cost if they break our belongings. Tenants are also welcome to bring their own beach equipment.

Full unobstructed sky allows incredible nighttime star-gazing!

If you want peace, privacy, a gorgeous beach, and a natural setting, this is ideal. If you are hoping to be walking distance to shopping, then you might prefer to rent in town. If you aren't familiar with Nantucket, please realize that Nantucket is a rural community. It's not a hip urban setting. For example, half of Nantucket roads are dirt roads (including ours) and they can be bumpy. It's not a place where you call an Uber to go to bar-hopping. It is a place where you can rent bicycles to ride to an outdoor brewery with live music, surrounded by farmland.

Wonderful location
If you are looking for a fancy modern house, then this house is not for you. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a clean, quiet house with a wonderful view of the ocean, then this house is for you. Our 5 day stay was very nice. When you drive there, make certain you take the dirt road close to VFW Post. The other option, recommended by Google Maps, is treacherous!

Lovely house and great location
The house was lovely along with the location. My husband, myself and child had a wonderful time. The house was well equipped with plates and silverware, the gas stove was new, the beds were very nice along with the bedding. We loved the views of the ocean throughout the home.

Super!
We loved this place. The house is cozy and well-equipped. The beds very comfortable. The location is stunning; right on the bluff over the ocean and in a sparsely developed area with loads of wild green space. Great bike paths all over the island; do rent a bike and explore the island. Carrie is a very attentive and responsive host. Do note there is no AC or wifi. We didn't need AC during our September stay. The cell reception is very good. There isn't much beach directly in front of the house, but the beach widens a short walk away. The beach access is a steep metal stairway. There is a mile or so of dirt road to get to the house, bumpy with a lot of washboard and you may get brushed by branches.

Amazing Home on the Beach
We had the most wonderful time staying at this home in late May. The house was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for our trip. The most special part of our visit was being on the beach in Nantucket and the beautiful views of the water. It was a magical setting and we felt lucky to have stayed there. We hope to have the opportunity to visit again!

Nantucket Hidden Escape
We have been coming to Nantucket for 20+ years and found this home to be a hidden gem. The old school picture perfect feel, long dirt road, out to a beautiful ocean view with limited homes and falling asleep and waking to the sound of the crashing waves made it absolutely perfect for the relaxing experience we were looking for. You are steps away from a gorgeous and quiet beach, with the deck off the back perfect for bbq's. Really looking forward to another trip in the future. Carrie is extremely responsive, which also helped the entire experience. I would recommend renting a car, getting some delicious food to BBQ, turn off the screens and RELAX! Thanks for having us- can't wait to do it again soon!

About the host

Host profile image
We love Nantucket. We've been here for 50 years. We love the peace and tranquility of our area. It's undeveloped, and surrounded by Conservation Land and protected land. Very few houses along the bluff. All lovely people.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the prettiest beaches in the world, and it's incredible to have a huge private beach to ourselves. Gorgeous sunsets. Great fishing, swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. Some days the waves are calm for paddleboarding, and sometimes they're big and great for surfing.

What makes this property unique

Large private beach. Privacy. Beauty.
