About this property

Forget Shoes, Walk to Beach Barefoot with Kids and Grandkids

Our grandparents purchased this traditional beach cottage in 1952 from a family that lived in it year round. Subsequent improvements do not successfully hide these simple origins. No granite countertops, no TV, this is a refuge from the modern world. But the kitchen and smaller bathroom were completely renovated in 2013. The cottage is 75 yards from the bluff and path to the Surfside beach, the best beach on the Island. Water views from the deck, kitchen and living room. One bedroom has a queen bed, two have double beds and the fourth has two sets of bunk beds and a slew of children's' games and toys. There is a small playhouse for kids. One full bathroom and one half bath and a delightful outdoor shower. Endless hot water (not, of course, that you would fail to conserve water). Forced air heat warms you quickly on cool foggy days.

Great location!
We spent a fantastic and relaxing week here with our four adult children. The location is ideal. The home owner and property manager were instantly available for the very few minor things that came up in the beginning of our stay. We definitely plan on a return trip next year!

Birthday get-together
My family of 10 and 3 generations enjoyed our stay in Nantucket very much. The kids loved the yard and it was used every single day! The proximity to the beach and the short drive to town were also quite lovely. Thank you for sharing your home!

Perfect for Mom's 60th
We rented the house for our mom's 60th birthday. It is a perfect house for family to get together. The yard was an added bonus that we didn't anticipate. The house is full of charm that you won't find elsewhere. Would certainly come back.

Old school charm with plenty of comforts
When you walk into this charming cottage you immediately can tell that this is a much loved family vacation home with a long history from the old black and white photos and the collection of classic books on the shelves. No cheesy tchotchkes, or goofy fake nautical antiques adorning the walls. The house and location are perfect for so many reasons: the kids can walk back and forth to the beach without the hassle of having to pack everything for the day; the kitchen is well equipped; the yard perfect for playing and BBQs; furniture is comfortable and not precious - you can put your feet up without stressing about a bit of sand on them; the essential outdoor shower is what it is and unless you have peeping toms in your family, there's no lack of privacy; the beds are firm. We had a lot of rain during our visit but the kids loved playing games inside while the adults kicked back on the comfy sofas reading and napping. What more does anyone want on a vacation? I think it'd make a great film set location with so much nostalgic charm. It's exactly what we imagined Nantucket to be like.
