Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
After migrating to Colorado from New England, Susan and I missed the east coast and the ocean. We bought and restored Gull Cottage and enjoy having our guests and their families appreciate the historic nature of Nantucket as much as we do.
Why the Owner Chose Nantucket Town
Nantucket is the perfect summer vacation spot in the US. It has great beaches, a village that is true to its history, comfortable summer weather and great people that appreciate everything the island has to offer.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We enjoy taking walks on the many trails to nature spots, beaches and town. Swimming and surfing in the Gulf Stream warmed waters at the un-crowded beaches is a pleasure. We also love to go Jeeping out to Great Point for sunset picnics and fishing. A large portion of the island is under conservation and unspoiled and the beaches are all publicly accessible at no charge. Yacht watching at Straight Warf is interesting.

Fantastic Stay!

This was by far the best experience I have had renting a house on Nantucket. The house was absolutely wonderful and everyone enjoyed their stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the right appliances and cookware you need to make a big dinner:) The house was very spacious and the outdoor patio was great to relax on. Landlord was very helpful throughout the stay. 5 minute walk into town was also a major plus! Can't wait to spend another weekend in this house!

A nice 8-minute walk or 5-minute bike ride into town, Gull Cottage was perfectly situated. We road our bikes 6 minutes to the beach (but could walk there in 15). Just far enough out of town center not to hear the hustle and bustle/vehicles of town, but close enough to be there in minutes. The rooms were sized right for 6 - 8 people - we all fit comfortably in the family room for "movie night." I loved having the spacious master suite downstairs and the kids upstairs! The outside patio was ideal for breakfast in the morning - nice and private. Beds comfy, gourmet kitchen had everything we needed & more, and many touches of home throughout. The house was fresh and clean and decorated so nicely. We really felt at home and never felt we were on top of each other, even on a rainy day.

In a word, perfect!

Just a note to say our stay at Gull Cottage was wonderful. You have a beautiful home on Nantucket – thank you for sharing it with us. We took full advantage of beach, windsurfing, fishing, biking, picnicking and of course…shopping! Restaurants were fantastic! The proximity of your home to town was ideal. The family room was our cozy central location at the end of the evening for everyone to curl up and watch a movie together – and we spent every morning on the patio…so picturesque. In a word, perfect!

We stayed here for a long weekend at the end of April and would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Nantucket. The house is conveniently located just a short walk from town and shops. The house itself is updated with a great kitchen and patio for outside dining. Thanks for a great stay!
