Week with extended family in ACK

Penny’s house was perfect for our family’s week on Nantucket. Clean, spacious and thoughtfully decorated. The house was well stocked with everything you might need for a beach vacation- chairs, umbrella, towels, bikes, etc. The views from the back deck are truly magical. If you are looking for a serene getaway on Nantucket, look no further. 10/10!

It was simply perfect! The listing doesn't do justice to the view of the sunset (and later in evening the stars!!!) outside the huge opening in the living room through sliding glass doors. We've been going to Nantucket for 35 years and have rented 7 houses in that time. This was one of our favorites! Very special.

Beautiful home

This is a beautiful home tucked away surrounded by hundreds of acres of conservation land. It is by far the best stocked VRBO we've ever stayed in. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The house has lots of games for kids as well as adults, e.g., ping pong, pool, board games, etc. And outdoors is a swing set, wiffle ball, fire pit, etc. Our three generation family all had a great time.

Overall, this is a very nice property. The 5th bedroom is not really a bedroom - no closet and quite small. Otherwise, the property is very nice and the extra towels, including beach towels, is a nice feature.

Perfect for Family Destination Reunion

The house is well-appointed and the middle floor with its open layout between kitchen, great room and two patios is perfect for large family gatherings. The large kitchen table was big enough for 13 of us to eat together. We made all our dinners at the house and found everything we needed for cooking and serving in the well-stocked kitchen. We loved playing ping-pong and pool in the basement in the evenings. The house is in a lovely, quiet area of Nantucket, but a car is a must. Penny, the host, was very responsive to the many questions we asked about activities, restaurants, and packing. We cherished our time on Nantucket!

Perfect for a group of 8!

We loved staying at Papanannas. We were there for a lower key bachelorette and were seeking some place that had ample space for 8 30+ year old ladies, where everyone had their own bed and this was perfect. the neighborhood is quiet, and everyone around town was familiar with the family which was awesome. We were able to grill and have dinners at the house, and even do yoga outside on the deck with 8 people comfortably. I would definitely recommend staying here, and would love to stay again!

Beautiful Island Getaway

Absolutely beautiful island home is better than the pictures. Open floor plan on the second level is perfect for everyone to gather and the large sliders opening to the deck provide the perfect back drop of evening sunsets. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Secluded location but minutes to down town. Kitchen is well appointed with everything needed. Can't say enough, its a great place.
