"We loved the cottage itself and location. It was outside of Nantucket but it was super easy to get to with the shuttle and the perk of being outside of town is that it was very peaceful. Lots to do on the island itself and surrounding areas. We would stay again. "

"This was the perfect place for our 4-night stay in Nantucket! The location was ideal — just about a 10-minute walk to Main Street. The layout worked especially well for two couples, and it was such a nice bonus that they allowed my parents’ dog. The home had everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again!"
