This is the cutest cottage in the perfect location. We got to meet JP as he happened to be up and he was super nice! Its a small cottage with only 2 bedrooms, so the 3rd bed is a pull out sofa but the living space is very roomy! Decorated very cute and updated in all the important places! We loved our stay!

Lovely house, nicely appointed. Good host communication. Our one complaint was that the promised wifi internet was not available for most of our stay (and we needed it for work), and though the host diligently worked on solutions, when they proved ineffective, he didn't see fit to give a token refund for that missing amenity.

The photos don't show how perfect this "sweet thing" cottage truly is. I loved being on Nantucket and witnessing the island wake up from the winter.

Nantucket-so relaxing

We loved our stay at Sweet Thing in Nantucket! We were away from the busy streets and right by the beach! The sunsets were incredible and we enjoyed eating at Mollie’s several times. We look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful cabin and location. Lovely high-end appliances and aesthetics throughout. The owner was very pleasant and easy to communicate with for check in and everything went smoothly during our stay. We had a wonderful time - perfect for three adults and two medium sized dogs, and we hope to visit again soon!

Beautiful weekend in Nantucket

The cottage was beautiful and we had a wonderful weekend. It was only a minute from our front door to the beach, to the bus into town, and to Millies. It was a great weekend and JP was a great host!

Would love to keep this fabulous home a secret but it's just too amazing not to share. Everything was perfect. Top of the line appliances, fully stocked kitchen, beautifully appointed rooms, and a one minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Ocean views from every room! Our host JP was so responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. A last minute get away has turned into a new tradition. We will be back over and over.

Great stay

We loved our stay. Amazing location next to the beach and Millie’s, and easy use of the bus into town for the teens. Jp was great to deal with and quick to answer any questions. The description of the house is a little misleading - def not a 3 br. It’s a 2br with a pullout couch. Regardless, great spot.

We will definitely book again!

Myself, my boyfriend and our dog planned a long getaway weekend to Nantucket. We came across this property that was very fairly priced for the area. We enjoyed our stay here in the cottage so much. It was updated, clean, felt homey, the property was great and has water views. JP the host was extremely helpful and kind and made the whole process so easy for us. When we come back to Nantucket we will be staying here again and we would recommend to anyone to stay here as well!

Labor Day Getaway

JP is such a great host! This was our first trip to Nantucket and Sweet thing is a lovely place to stay. The house is well stocked with cooking supplies, towels, beach chairs and more! Our only complaint would be the mattress in the master bedroom. Even with that, it is a great place to stay. It is steps away from the most beautiful sunsets! Thanks so much!

Our second time at Sweet Thing was as wonderful as our first. A 3 minute walk brought us to Madaket beach where the sunsets are perfect. The house itself is lovely and well kept, J P always a phone call away to answer our questions whether it was how to adjust the heat or where we could find the grill. He was wonderful. The location of the house for anyone familiar with the island, Millie's is right next door and their food is delicious. The bike path can take you from downtown is about 5-6 miles and an easy ride. Linens and towels are well stocked and after our first time there we got the hang of the oven. Clarence, our 12 year old Shih Tzu, was content to stretch out on his bed in the front room, catching the sun. I been visiting the island for well over 50 years and every time we go we manage to find something or some place that's new to us. Just a wonderful get away especially on the shoulder seasons. Many thanks to J P, for being our perfect host. Hopefully, we'll be back in the fall, until then we'll be counting our sweet memories Kristel & Ed
