This family home offers a unique blend of luxury, space, convenience, and privacy. Relax in the perfect location—near everything, but away from the island bustle on a quiet road abutting the Nantucket State Forest. The property is perfect for extended families, with loads of indoor and outdoor space and comfortable sleeping for 10.
On the first floor, an open layout offers tons of light and space to spread out. The front room is a great place to gather for family fun, with a TV, a wide selection of games and puzzles, and a large game table. A separate living room features post-and-beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, lots of comfortable seating, and a second TV with an eclectic collection of DVDs.
The well-appointed kitchen is designed for cooking, with a Frigidaire gas range and oven, a wine fridge, two sinks, and a Bosch dishwasher. You’ll also find a wide range of tools and appliances, including a blender, ice cream maker, waffle iron, 12-cup coffee maker, lobster pots, and more. A kitchen island invites family time during meal prep, while a separate dining area seats 8–10.
The main bedroom features a sumptuous king bed, a walk-in closet, a cozy loveseat for reading, and a small flat-screen TV. Large windows bring in morning light, and a French door opens to the back porch and garden. The luxurious main bath offers a whirlpool tub, separate sinks, and a huge dual shower with deluxe rain showerheads.
The first floor also has an airy second bedroom with twin beds and plenty of closet space. In addition, you'll find a first-floor powder room and a separate laundry room stocked with all the beach towels you'll need, as well as coolers and other gear.
The second floor offers two spacious, light-filled bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with two queen beds, and another full bath. A charming reading nook features a sunny window seat and books for all ages.
Outside you'll find an inviting wraparound porch that's perfect for morning coffee or wine and cheese in the evening. There's also a large private yard, lounge chairs, a patio table for outdoor dining, and a gas grill big enough to cook for everyone. An enclosed cedar shower is the perfect way to end a day at the beach or in town.
The house comes with a full complement of beach equipment, including towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and sand toys, so you don't have to buy things or drag them from home. You'll also find outdoor games like paddle ball and frisbee.
The property's Surfside location is central to beaches, shops, biking, and hiking. Take the bike path or back roads to the south shore beaches, just 1.4 miles away. The adjacent Nantucket State Forest is great for walking; you can also try out the forest's public 18-hole disc golf course. Right down the street is the Hinsdale Park & Discovery Playground, a multi-use area with a great accessible playground. Also nearby is The Creeks Preserve, a lovely park that overlooks the Creeks salt marsh and Nantucket Harbor.
Lots of hidden-gem shops are within easy walking distance, including the Nantucket Meat and Fish Market, Espresso to Go, the Nantucket Bake Shop, Pip & Anchor, and some of the island's best family-owned restaurants. To go further afield, you can catch the WAVE bus line just two blocks away to get to pretty much anywhere on the island.
The house is professionally cleaned by one of the island's premier firms, left sparkling clean and disinfected for each new rental group. This cost is included in the rental fee, so you won't find surprise cleaning charges.
With the forest and loads of amenities right here, town less than two miles away, and beaches even closer, this private getaway has it all!
