This spacious, beautifully furnished home is designed for views and comfort.

Furnished in Old English pine, new and old come tastefully together in the large modern kitchen. Pets are allowed and No Smoking.Wireless high speed internet for laptop users.
Surrounded on three sides by conservation land, the home can be best described as private, private, private! With 1400 square feet of decking and an outdoor "after swim" shower you can let your guard down and relax. The upper deck provides views of conservation land, Sankaty Head Lighthouse, and golf course, as well as Distant views of the ocean.
Two bedrooms open to the lower deck, perfect for a A.M. stroll. An Osprey eagle nest located a few hundred yards from the house provide bird watchers a delightful scene as the Osprey have their young during the summer months. The bike path is located at the end of the driveway. This paved bike path will take you all around the island with safety and comfort. It's great for joggers and rollerbladers too.
The famed Sconset and Quidnet beaches are only minutes away and are the least crowded beaches on the Island.

We recently stayed here with our extended family group which included children (from ages 2 - 13) and adults. We had a great time riding our bikes on the convenient bike path, going to the beach and practically living on the awesome 1st and 2nd story decks! The house is well equipped and there was plenty of space for everyone, both inside and out. The view of Sankaty lighthouse from the back upper deck along with a full moon will never be forgotten.Recommended for: Sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We rented this home over memorial day weekend and there were 3 couples in our party. There was plenty of room/space for everyone. The house is beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. We all loved the 'upside down' layout. It was amazing to wake up every morning and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee while gazing out at the lighthouse and listening to the birds chirp away. I truly couldn't have asked for anything more. The views were amazing! It was so peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again in the future and would recommend this house to anyone!Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1997
About the owner: We live in Smithfield Va where my wife grew up. I lived on Nantucket for 9 years and Cape Code (Falmouth) for another 9. I grew up in Olean NY if you have heard of it and moved to the cape when i was 20. We both love Nantucket and have some very good friends there. Could end up living there someday when we get brave enough to retire.
Why the Owner Chose Quidnet:
I built the house there in Cedar meadows to be close to one of the most important persons in my life. She is the reason i keep coming back to the island and the reason i own a house there.
Long story. Ask if you want to here one of those unique to Nantucket only stories.
