About this property

Charming Pet Friendly Cottage

Just a 10 minute stroll down Main St turn right onto the quiet, private dead end Lowell Place to your charming cottage nestled into the Historic District with HUGE back yard, patio, gas grill, and all the amenities necessary for a long weekend or the entire Summer! Plenty of parking and pet friendly as well!
If you are looking for quiet and privacy, lots of space and parking but still in the heart of the downtown historic area then look no more. The featured cottage is next door to our additional two bedroom listing, 8 Lowell Place-perfect family compound opportunity to share a HUGE property with Mom & Dad or in-laws or a couples retreat. Also lends itself beautifully to a celebration or wedding venue with plenty of room to entertain under a large tent. 10 minute walk down historic cobbled Main Street amongst the gorgeous Whaling Mansions to shops, harbor and delectable restaurants.

This home has an amazing location (right off upper Main Street) with a 10 min walk to town. The host was very accommodating and made the check in process easy for me and answered all my inquiries. I fully recommend if you want a nice place close to town.

Perfect in town cottage

We stayed at this delightful cottage with enormous outdoor space for a family wedding weekend. It was perfect for my teenage son, adult step-son and his wife, husband and me. It is appx a 20 minute walk to town. I highly recommend this cottage. We'd be very happy to stay there again!

Incredible location!

This was a lovely house just steps from downtown Nantucket- such a fantastic location just steps/ a quick bike ride from everything, but quiet and private. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Just note that the bathroom setup may be a little unusual if you're more than two adults, so review room setup carefully, but we made it work and were very happy.

Stop Drop Book

I can’t say enough about the place, and the owners. If the dates are available, stop looking and book. Likely the nicest VRBO Owners I have come across. In its current state, the place may not hit the pages of Architectural Digest, but if you want a cozy Old School Nantucket cottage, pick this place. I truly hope we get to return. Thanks for an amazing pre-Christmas Holiday!

Had a lovely week

Overall good experience. The check-in and out process was very simple. We had to clean the outside shower of leafs and old razor blades and had to go in basement to turn water on. Some of the windows don’t open and the the outside patio space is shared which isn’t clear on the listing. Fire pit and Adirondack chairs are great. Best location in town but had big yard.

Cozy beach cottage

This house is exactly as described, a cozy cottage designed for groups. It’s got an antique feel with all basic comforts needed. The space is good for large groups, the outdoor space was great and the yard and grill were perfect to use. Ample towels, beach chairs provided. The solo stove in the back yard was a great touch, as well as the outdoor shower. Beds were all comfortable. ACs worked great to keep house cool during hot September days. Deirdre was very responive and easy to communicate with. No elaborate check out or check in process. Simply a great place to stay if you want easy simple comfort on the island. Note, if you’re looking for modern luxury this isn’t the rental for you.

We loved this rental - charming new england coastal vibe with a perfect location. It had 1.5 bathrooms and an outdoor shower that we did use & loved! Bedrooms were good size and plenty of community space including a large dining table. We traveled with small pug and there were 2 crates at the house- large and small. Shared backyard had dining table with umbrella and privacy from neighbors, as well as house was on a dead end street off of main st. In the backyard there was a shed with beach chairs and couple of umbrellas. Beach towels were in the linen closet. Nantucket shuttle bus stops 1 block away brought us straight to Madaket beach. Madaket bike trail 1block away - pretty extensive rail trail system for cyclist. Easy walk to downtown or shuttle bus in. Owner was extremely responsive when we did have a couple of questions and booking process start to finish was super easy. Perfect location to access all on the island. We would book this property again!

We were lucky enough to stay at this home for our family vacation. The place was a nice size, accurately described and comfortable. Deidre was also helpful when we had a question, which we appreciated. We walked into town, biked to the beaches by and barbecued at night. All in all a great time.

About the host

Host profile image
My family and I are excited to share this lovely, recently restored, historic cottage with you and your family. Built by Althea Macy in 1850-the Macy’s are one of the founding families of Nantucket. The home is cozy and private while still located in the heart of the downtown historic district.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for quiet and privacy, lots of space and parking but still in the heart of the downtown historic area then look no more. The featured cottage is next door to our additional two bedroom listing, 8 Lowell Place-perfect family compound opportunity to share a HUGE property with mom & Dad or in-laws or a couples retreat. Also lends itself beautifully to a celebration or wedding venue with plenty of room to entertain under a large tent. 10 minute walk down historic cobbled Main Street amongst the gorgeous Whaling Mansions to shops, harbor and delectable restaurants.
