About this property
Walk to Town! Bike or Bus to Beach! Charming Cottage on Quiet, Private Lane
Located on a private lane just a short walk to town and easy access to bike paths and beaches, our property is a quintessential Nantucket getaway. Our property consists of two cottages (Cottage A, Leeward and Cottage B, Windward), duplex style, with separate entrances and decks and a large shared yard (see listing #602380 for Cottage A). There is also a separate studio on the property that the owners use occasionally.
Cottage B (Windward) has two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and main living room with efficient kitchen and living space. Both bedrooms have full size beds. The deck with comfortable outdoor furniture and a Weber gas grill overlooks the large shared, nicely landscaped yard. There is also ample off-street parking. Quality linens included. Beach chairs, beach towels and small cooler bag available for use. Just bring yourself! The cottage is equipped for four (4) guests and that occupancy limit is very strict. If you have questions or concerns, please ask.
If you are traveling with small children, we can help connect you to a local rental company that can provide anything else you might need for your stay. We do not maintain bikes for use by guests but please ask about local rentals!
The kitchen is efficiently updated with an LG refrigerator, compact stove, microwave and a dishwasher, and everything that you would need for a week's getaway is provided. Our Keurig coffeemaker can make a single cup using a pod, or a pot using coffee grounds.
The bathroom features marble floors and tile walls with a modern glass shower surround.
Outside you will find a large professionally landscaped yard and a convenient outdoor shower with on demand hot water and a dressing area for privacy.
While just a short walk to Main Street for shopping and dining along with the harbor area- the cottage is down a secluded lane that is quiet and a great place to relax.
WiFi and a flat screen TV with Cable TV are provided.
There are security cameras located on the end of the Cottage B overlooking the driveway area and on the exterior of Cottage C overlooking the yard immediately in front of that cottage. The cameras are monitored by the hosts. There is a motion-activated light to illuminate the driveway after dark (the light turns on temporarily and then turns off automatically). The walkway is lit by solar-powered landscape lighting and your cottage has an exterior light by the entrance that can be switched on and off from inside the cottage. Please let us know if you have any questions about these features.
We offer a discount for stays of 7 nights or more. Inquire about a monthly rental at reduced rate and no lodging tax (rental period must be more than 31 days).
With such a short season, we have a strict cancellation policy. We recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance to mitigate the risk of disruption due to illness (including COVID), transportation issues, etc. We will try to work with you in the case of extreme circumstances but may not be able to in every situation. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.

The apartment was beautifully decorated, clean and centrally located. There was an unavoidable problem with the heating system, which the owners immediately addressed and kept me informed on their progress. They graciously adjusted the price without my having to ask! I will stay there again in the future!

So glad you enjoyed your stay- thanks for the feedback!
The property was exactly what we hoped for. We loved being able to walk anywhere downtown and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Everything was clean and cozy.
Adorable house, comfy beds, cute decor. Communication was excellent with host.Mother and daughter doing "The Blue Book' trip through Elin Hilderbrand reads.Walked, Ubered, shuttled, so much fun.
This property was great for our family of three! The location was walking distance to town and everything we needed. Beautiful backyard. Easy checkin and great communication with with host!
We enjoyed our stay in this very cute cottage. Nicely decorated, clean, comfortable mattresses .. great patio with table chairs and umbrella! Owners extremely nice and responsive. Great location for an easy walk or bike to town. Highly recommend!
Nice property. Highlights were the location and the outdoor shower. The house was well stocked with everything we needed - cooler, towels, etc. We hope to return!

Charming cottage tucked away but close to town
We had a great stay. Windward Cottage is nicely appointed, clean and very well stocked. We especially appreciated that it came with beach chairs and beach towels. While on the smaller side, the outdoor deck and table, grill and access to a beautiful outdoor shower made it very enjoyable. It is quiet, set back from the street and is beautifully landscaped. We would definitely stay there again.
We had a fabulous stay. The communication and check-in were seamless, and anything expected of us during our stay was clearly explained. It was the perfect distance from town, close enough to bike and walking paths, and overall a beautiful cottage. We would love to one day come back to Nantucket and stay here again!
