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
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.
