Our family has traveled to Nantucket on multiple occasions so we have very good perspective of the rental market. I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences we have had and we would most certainly book again! Jodi was a fantastic host, the home is beautiful, the location is great, and the price was right. Thank you, Jodi, for sharing your home with us and we hope to cross paths with you again in the future!

My friends and I had the most amazing time staying at this property in Nantucket. Jodi made it very easy for us to book and stay on the property. She was so kind and attentive. She responded quickly to all our questions. The property was decorated beautifully and very very clean (thank you Nadia). One of my friends works in the art world, and she couldn’t stop talking about the decor of the house. The layout was also perfect for our needs. We each had our own en-suite bedroom and the shared space was perfect for us. Jodi thought of every little detail to make our stay as convenient as possible. The house was in a perfect location. It was a 10-minute walk to town, a 10-minute walk to the nearby Stop & Shop, and a 15-minute bike ride to Surfside beach. A couple of times, we actually walked to Surfside beach (I think it was about 2.1 miles and you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas there). Also if you didn’t want to go to town, there were restaurants, cafes, and bakeries within walking distance. We didn’t realize until the last day that The Chicken Box was close by. Wish we had known sooner! I highly recommend this property and would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Jodi's place. The house looks brand new inside and was kept in great condition. A pleasant walk to town and also an easy walk or drive to places mid-island. Easy drive to the different beaches. Jodi was a pleasure to work with - she reached out before we arrived and was quick to respond with any questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay!

We had an amazing time in this lovely home. The beds were super comfy, the multiple couches/rooms allowed for us to spread out and relax after lots of walking to see the sights. Our host was super helpful and responded quickly. The location is about 1/2 mile from town and once you know which roads work for you, super easy. Mapping doesn’t always provide the best walking route but once you know the roads with a shoulder, path or sidewalk, you are all set!

This house is gorgeous and comfortable! And lots of light comes into family room kitchen and bedroom areas. The garden and back deck sitting area are lovely! Well stocked with everything from kitchen needs, bathroom needs and games. Beds were so comfortable and loved the location! Five minute bike ride to town or 15 min walk but also can easily bike to beaches and places on east end of town like surfside beach and surfside 45 and markets.

Immaculate, Centrally Located Home

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this tastefully decorated, well stocked home. It’s a picture perfect near-town Nantucket experience. Our family of 5, which included 2 teens and a 4 year old, had a great time. The teens (typically hard to please) were happy to be able to walk to town whenever they wished and the youngest loved all the beaches which are about 5 minutes away. The grocery store is 2 minutes away. There’s even a playground walking distance down the street. Jodi is a breeze to work with. Would definitely stay again.

Nantucket Dreaming

On The Way House was an absolute Nantucket Dream! The listing photos while beautiful do not do this property justice! This home is a true gem in every way! Beautiful from the outside in with gorgeous gardens and fluffy hydrangeas, weathered shingles and antique urns brimming with seas shells it makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a beachy Hallmark movie! Immaculately clean, super cozy and tastefully appointed it feels like your home away from home. Every detail has been attended to from a fully stocked spice cabinet to beautiful and plentiful plateware and glasses (offered in pretty shades of blue) to the high quality cookware, utensils & sharp knives (much appreciated by my chef husband)! Linens and towels were hotel quality and the location, just a quick walk to town cannot be matched! I could go on all day! We have been visiting Nantucket for 15 years and this was by far our favorite property! Jodi was so pleasant and quick to answer any questions. Our family had a great week on Atlantic Ave. and we hope to stay again soon!
