Very nice house with lots of charm, even though it is a little out-dated. Easy access to the free bus shuttle. Was a nice, quiet place next to the bird sanctuary and a cemetery. Nice outdoor patio area in the back. Really appreciated the flexibility to store our luggage/ check in a little early too!

A charming, comfortable and commodious cottage. Nicely decorated. Well-equipped kitchen. Adjacent to a nature preserve with walking trails. It’s a long walk into town but Uber arrived almost instantly throughout the weekend. We highly recommend a stay at this property.

The landscaping is a mess. The bushes have grown to cover all the windows in front so there’s no light in the house and it smells musty. You would not want to sit in the backyard. The inside is very dated and the upholstered furniture was old and needs to be replaced. This house should not be rented as is.

I am sorry you were unhappy. We have the cottage processionally cleaned prior to each guest and purposely did not trim the hydrangea at this time of yearsince Nantucket has experience a severe drought this summer and all unnecessary watering has been restricted by the town

About the host

Hosted by Dr. Robert Sarvis

Host profile image
Retired professionals who love the island and have vacationed on Nantucket for more than 40 years and have retired to the island.

Why they chose this property

The cottage has all of the advantages of being in-town, yet you have the privacy and quite of the conservation area that surrounds the property. You can walk to downtown and all of Nantucket's great restaurants. The conservation area has wonderful hiking paths where you will see all of the native birds. Two cardinals have lived in our hydrangeas for many years. The privet enclosed backyard is private and safe for children with beautiful gardens full of hydrangeas and roses, and sheltered by an antique oak tree.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is centrally located within the Nantucket Historic District. The Old Mill and other historic sites are nearby. All beaches are easily walked or biked to. The bike path across the street connects with all of Nantucket's wonderful bike paths, making biking all over the island convenient and safe for children and adults alike. While there is off street parking for two cars, a car is not a necessity. Grocery shopping is a short walk. A bus stop is at the end of the street. Nantucket's seasonal bus transportation takes you to all areas of the island like Siasconst and Madaket.
