Relaxing Nantucket Retreat

Better than the photos, this lovely retreat was perfect for our family. The large dining table and the two seating areas provided many great moments of family time. Close to town and the beach, we were able to walk to most everything we wanted.

Nantucket moms retreat

We had the Nantucket experience we hoped for—the house was perfect and had everything we needed. It was a great location by the bike path and walking distance to Steps Beach and town. We explored every part of the island. We loved the yard and deck and privacy to sit outside. It has a great set up, inside and out. We really enjoyed our stay and Kara was an excellent and responsive host.

We were a group of 4 women for a girls weekend. We loved the house. Great location. We used the bikes a lot. Better than trying to park a car. The house is nicely furnished and plenty of room for everyone. It wasn’t “beach” time when we went but I can see how amazing it would be to rent this house in season.

Nantucket Cottage

We had a fantastic time at this cottage. We had 5 guests but it sleeps 8-10+. Super easy loungy layout to the main floor for daily routines. Only 5 minutes to town, 10 minutes to Surfside Beach, 10 minutes to Millie’s. The house was super quiet for lazy afternoons and evenings. We hope we can come back sometime.

Young family vacation

Best location on the island in my opinion. With a car, it's central to activities of all kinds whether beach/town/biking exploring the island etc. Beautiful views from back deck. Nice yard. Enough space to spread out for a family with young kids (we shared the house with friends and we both have kids 5 and under). Clean living spaces and well designed layout. We would rent again.

Perfect stay in a perfect location

Our long journey from Germany was definitely worth it. We were rewarded with a beautiful house on the dreamlike Nantucket. Everything was perfect and to feel good! The kitchen is super equipped and we had nice family dinners together. The ambience is stylish and tasteful and very comfortable. We were all very happy and recommended Maddshack to others like acquaintances. Thank you very much for all your help,dear Kara

Quintessential ACK Summer

This property has everything. The proximity to the best beach, the sunsets, the privacy and yet the neighborhood feel and proximity to town. Best for a family with teen children because the kids bedrooms are downstairs. There are two nice bedrooms upstairs but they share a small bath which makes it challenging sharing with friends or even family unless very close family. But absolutely beautiful comfortable relaxing stay here.

We had an incredible stay at this house for a friends' weekend. The location truly cannot be beaten - being so close to the beach made for easy mornings by the water, and the one-mile walk into town was the perfect distance for brunch and shopping without having to worry about parking.The house itself was incredibly comfortable and spacious. The big yard was a massive highlight, giving us plenty of outdoor space to relax, and the overall layout offered the perfect setup for hanging out together as a group. If you're looking for the ultimate Nantucket spot for a group weekend, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Nantucket Getaway

MaddshACK was tastefully decorated and exactly as listed. Kara was attentive and kind. Close enough to the city to walk/bike but far enough to enjoy the solace our family needed. We all loved being so close to Steps Beach and highly recommend this home.
