The master bedroom has a Queen bed with en suite bathroom and 32" SMART TV; the second bedroom has a NEW Queen bed with built-in 6 drawer dresser. (New mattress in second bedroom Summer 2026!) All told, the main house sleeps four.
The Guest House is immediately adjacent to the main house. It sleeps two and has been completely refurbished. It has a QUEEN bed, a 40" SMART TV, a private bathroom and a kitchenette. Custom Bali 2" pleated shades on all windows. A small bluestone patio is located directly behind the guest house .
The large backyard patio is surrounded by tall hedges and gorgeous shade trees. You will find a 5-Burner BBQ, a patio dining table with seating for 6, and a sitting area.
Nantucket is beautiful in the summer and the days are warm. To keep you cool, we've installed a Mini-Split Air Conditioning system in both the main house and guest house.
The entire property is well-appointed with crisp white cotton sheets, white fluffy bath towels, kitchen ware, utensils, glasses, dishes, and everything else you would need to feel at home on the island. All sheets and towels are professionally cleaned. Our property manager lives just a mile away, so if you need anything, he is there to help.
This house is great for families, couples, artists, writers, boaters, beach-lovers, and exhausted city-dwellers looking to relax.
Come join us for a long weekend and stay as long as you like.

We had a wonderful stay in Nantucket and couldn’t have asked for a better host than Michelle. From the moment we booked, she was incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Her communication was clear and thoughtful, making every part of our trip easy and stress-free.The property was exactly as described; comfortable, clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located for exploring the island. It truly felt like a home away from home. Michelle went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and offered excellent local recommendations that helped make our visit even more memorable.Nantucket is a special place, and Michelle’s hospitality made our experience even better. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it!

Hi Karle!
Thank you for the most amazing review!
It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I hope you will be back again very soon!
Warmest Regards,
Michele
This home was amazing -- comfortable spaces, well stocked kitchen, things that you might consider standard, but presented in attractive ways -- soap, lotion, etc in pretty bags, filtered water, a small supply of bottled still water, slippers -- comfortable throw on the couch ... I could go on. The beds were ridiculously comfortable with fluffy pillows and comforters, and the heat/air splits were so fabulous when the temperature went up. Michele was a wonderful, informative host and went out of her way to insure that we were not inconvenienced when someone needed to make a repair during our stay and we were so grateful for the welcoming vibe after a really hectic week traveling from CA to Chicago for a graduation before this stay. We enjoyed riding bikes all week and the house was central to town and a nice ride to Cisco and many other spots that were fun to explore. Definitely recommend and hope to return as soon as possible!

This is our third time staying at this wonderful property. Such a lovely spot close enough to walk to town, but far enough away to be relaxing. The backyard is lovely and there are ample bathrooms to make guests and teenagers happy!
Absolutely loved our stay at this adorable Nantucket gem! The house was perfect — cozy, charming, and just a short walk to town, which made everything so easy and fun. The booking process was a breeze, and the host was very accommodating! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect blend of relaxation and convenience on this beautiful island! Will definitely be back!
This is our 3rd year at Michele’s fantastic home. The house is perfect, has everything anyone could ever want.The location is an easy walk to town and perfect access to the best beaches and bike paths. We absolutely love it!!

I hope you will keep us in mind the next time you are on the island, we would love to have you stay with us again! All the Best, Michele
We had a wonderful time! The place was beautiful and exactly as described. Communication was easy, and the location was excellent. We could walk and bike to everything with ease - no car needed, as we only brought our bikes. It’s located on a more active road (relatively speaking, for Nantucket ), but it wasn’t disruptive at all. We especially enjoyed being close to the bike paths and having the option to walk into town. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience at this Nantucket VRBO. It was clean, well-stocked and looked just like the pictures. An easy 15 minute or so walk to the town center. Would stay again!

We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the amenities in this beautifully appointed home. Great location and the island information about the beaches and restaurants was so helpful. We are looking forward to returning next summer!
Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage with nice outdoor dining space. Can walk to town and easy access to bike/walking path and beaches. Owner very responsive. Very enjoyable stay on Nantucket!
The house is beautiful and well-stocked. The host is extremely gracious & attentive. There is a new washer/dryer and a small dishwasher. It is a short walk to town. The guest house was especially lovely. The house is located on a busy thoroughfare and we had loud neighbors who were in close proximity, so our stay was not as peaceful as we had hoped.
We had a great time staying for wine fest! The house is in a perfect location that is super walkable to town. Great for couples!

We had a wonderful stay in Michele’s home. The house had everything we needed and were able to walk to and from town easily. Check-In was seamless and we would absolutely rent here again!

About the host
Hosted by Michele
Why they chose this property
My family has owned this property since the early 1960s. It was the pride and joy of my late uncle who loved this island and all the people on it. He spent every summer here, surrounded by friends and family. The house has been lovingly restored with him in mind.
