Girls Trip to Nantucket

The property was super clean and comfortable! The stairs could be a challenge (due to the age of the house). The bathrooms were great for 3 of us but would have been uncomfortable for a larger group. There are basically no bathrooms downstairs as the toilet room on the first floor is smaller than an airplane restroom. I would stay at this house again with the number of people we had on our trip. The property manager was great! I had planned on using the washer and dryer but it was not in working order while we were there.

Loved our stay

Loved this sweet, pretty and classic cottage on a beautiful street. It is an easy walk to town (we had 3 kids) but the street itself is quiet. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. We didn’t cook during our stay but the kitchen had everything you could need as well.

Beautiful house and perfectly equipped, although the classic old stairs might intimidate some. An actual parking space and nice yard. Close to heart of town but quiet street.

Nantucket Family vacation/wedding

16 Pleasant was a beautiful home and a great location to walk to town, many restaurants and several different beaches easily. It was very easy to reach Amelia with questions and we appreciated being able to leave our luggage when arriving on island before check in. Perfect family house for our vacation.
