About this property

Renovated historic house and detached cottage

Recently renovated 8-guest historic home in the heart of Sconset village. The Main House has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 1 half bath. The layout features an open floor plan that is light-filled and fresh with paneled walls. The first floor has the living room, kitchen/ Dining room, mud room/ pantry/ office, Laundry and Powder Room, Master Bedroom (with queen bed) and attached Master Bath. The second floor has 2 bedrooms- the front bedroom has a full sized bed and trundle, the rear bedroom has built-in twin beds and trundles. The upper level also has a full bathroom with walk-in shower.
There is a separate detached Cottage that was newly constructed in 2015. The Cottage offers a queen sized bed, a full Bath with tub/ shower, a kitchenette and sitting area.
Both the Main House and the Cottage have sunny decks for lounging and there is an expansive stone patio that connects the two buildings. The patio is sunny and has seating for 12.
There is also an outdoor shower, bbq, hammock and outdoor storage shed for fishing rods, boogie boards, etc.
There is plenty of parking on both the front and rear streets and the home also comes with bikes for your use.
It is a very short walk to the beach, the Sconset market, restaurants, and to the shuttle stop
The property is wonderful for people who want to be in the heart of the village but want to have some privacy and elbow room.

We really enjoyed our stay in Sconset. The home is in a fantastic location, beautifully designed, and exactly as pictured and advertised. It’s a lovely property and a great spot from which to enjoy the area.We did encounter a few issues during our stay related to the cleaning crew as well as some electrical problems. That said, the owner was extremely kind, responsive, and attentive throughout. They took our concerns seriously and worked quickly to address and resolve the issues, which we greatly appreciated.Given how proactive the owner was, I imagine these items will be fully addressed for future stays and that subsequent guests are unlikely to encounter the same issues we did. Overall, a beautiful home in a great location with a genuinely thoughtful and attentive owner.

Beautiful house tastefully done

We loved our vacation in Sconset. Whitney has renovated this house to perfection. Everything is first class and the kitchen has everything you could need. There is a lot of room between the two houses and plenty of patio to enjoy. The town of Sconset is cute as can be and the beach is wonderful too. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect home in Sconset

The property was lovely. It was clean and well designed and had the space to fit 5 adults and 3 kids with room leftover. The cottage has a little loft which was a perfect spot for our 10 year old daughter to host a sleepover with friend. The location could not be much better. We hope to return next summer.

A place to create memories

This is a spot we love coming back to every year! Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but still everything you need at the local market, liquor store and restaurant. We always have an an incredible time at Whitney’s beautiful home. The cottage is a great place to have friends come stay for a night or two in their own private space. Another magical trip made possible by a wonderful owner who communicates in a timely manner. Wonderful.

Great stay!!

We had a great stay at Whitney’s house! She was very quick to respond and we had everything we needed for our stay. The house was perfectly located for us as it was a close walk to playground and beach but if you don’t have kids and want to walk around town it is about a 15 min drive so you will need a car. The house is so cute and the beds are comfy and linens are great ( yes I’m a linen snob!) :) we brought our nanny with us and having a cottage was a huge plus! It gave her the opportunity to have some time to herself and us some space as a family! I would highly recommend this rental. Whitney call me any time if you want to discuss your new biz plan :) thanks again for a great stay!

Awesome

Got off to a rough start. Property wasn’t ready when we checked in. After a brief freak out we were able to get everything squared away. Stuff happens and not everything is as perfect as you want it. However, it’s more important to me how things get rectified. In this case the house was turned quickly and we were able to get into a sconset state of mind. This place is great..

Why they chose this property

This property is wonderful for providing the best of many worlds- on the edge of the village and walking distance to everything but just far enough out of the heart that you have some quiet and privacy. It is also great because it is an 100+ year home that retains historic charm while having all the modern amenities one could desire.
The home is compact but eminently usable and comfortable.
