Escape to The Sandbox, a spacious 1.4-acre retreat in Nantucket’s secluded Tom Nevers East neighborhood, with far-reaching Atlantic views that set a calm, coastal mood from the moment you arrive. This well-built home features a beautiful, family friendly kitchen and an inviting open-plan living area, plus a wraparound porch and multiple decks — all designed to maximize outdoor living and sunset views. Just two miles from the beach, The Sandbox offers privacy without sacrificing easy access to local activity.
Inside, the first floor includes a welcoming foyer, a cozy family room, a laundry room, and an ice maker. Three bedrooms are on the main level: a large queen-bedroom with its own bathroom; a second room with three twin beds plus a trundle for extra guests; and a third queen-bedroom, all served by a deluxe first-floor bathroom. Upstairs hosts the master suite, featuring a queen bed and an oversized bathroom with a pedestal tub and a separate steam shower. Almost every room opens to decks with ocean views, creating abundant spots to relax, dine, and unwind.
Outdoor spaces are a standout, including a well-equipped shed stocked with bikes, beach chairs, and umbrellas for easy beach days, plus a dedicated outdoor shower for a refreshing rinse after the sand and sea. The wraparound porch and multiple decks give guests plenty of seating for gatherings, sunbathing, or quiet moments with the waves. For security and peace of mind, there are two outdoor cameras on the premises (one near the front door and one facing the shed).
Location is ideal for island exploring: plenty of quiet bike routes from Tom Nevers to Siasconset offer access to markets, shops, and dining, with the village’s charms easily reachable by bike. The Sandbox combines privacy, comfort, and coastal beauty for an unforgettable Nantucket experience.

We absolutely loved our stay! Home is beautiful and such a great find. Everything was in excellent condition and easy access to beach and tennis. Really wonderful setup for families and would definitely go back.
We had a wonderful week at the Sand Box in September. The upside down set up is perfect and the home itself is beautifully decorated with calming beach house decor. You cant beat the distant ocean views from the upstairs deck and the pure tranquility of Tom Nevers. September is such a beautiful time to be on the island. The perfect escape.

Glorious week
First, I want to thank Patrice for all of her helpful and timely communication leading up to our week on Nantucket. House was beautiful and the view was spectacular. We enjoy Tom Nevers as it is a quiet part of the island. Everything lived up to our expectations.
The home was perfect for our needs! Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the floor plan and the large lot with the views toward the water. Sunrises were amazing! We would absolutely go back in a heartbeat!
This property was perfect for a holiday with another family. It had a wonderful beach house feel and contained just about everything you’d need for a stay. Sabrina and Danielle were great to work with through the process. Highly recommended!
The property was my favorite and we have rented for over 20 years. The distant view of the ocean was outstanding, the decorating so calming and the kitchen well stocked. Also with tennis courts around the corner, it was a perfect location for our family. Truly, an exceptional home.
The perfect spot! A quiet location in Tom Nevers, which provides a great option of Tom Nevers beach, Sconset and Madequecham beaches all nearby. The house is beautiful, with all the modern amenities to go with a fantastic view of Tom Nevers' coastline from the deck. Top-of-the-line bikes and beach chairs/umbrella were available for use as well. Have rented a few times on Nantucket and this house was the best yet.
This was a perfect oasis for a group of 6 for a week during the summer. With ample lawn space, and house provided bikes (6 of them) we felt like we had the perfect setup to have beach days and secluded nights. Would highly recommend!
