Location: Nantucket, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, USA (Short Walk to Downtown, Shopping, Markets, Bike Paths, Beach) View Map

Nantucket Island provides an historic and relaxing sea-side escape; our property is located in the Nashaquisset community with on-site rental and property management. The adorable Nantucket country cottage is an ideal spot to enjoy an island vacation; a short walk from downtown and conveniently located to shopping, markets and beaches.
Our home is named Tuitions End; we purchased the property after we had "almost" finished with college payments. We thought this was a very special location for vacations with family and friends. It is beautifully decorated in a blue, yellow and white color palette, with comfortable furnishings and a place for everything. A galley kitchen that would delight the most demanding chef, includes culinary items required for fine cooking or entertaining.
A spacious side yard is ideal for playing croquet or other lawn games. It compliments the shaded patio that is a refreshing spot to dine or entertain outdoors any time of the day. Adjoining the main patio is is a second, large circular patio with deck chairs and umbrella, which is perfect for sunning or afternoon reading.

Map & Owner's Profile
Nantucket Cottage, Close Walk to Town, Shopping, Beaches
Year Purchased: 1995
Why the Owner Chose Nantucket
Tuitions End is a close walk to everything (food, shopping, beaches), yet far enough away for privacy. The home is unique with it's comfortable furnishings, spacious private patios and side yard, on-site rental management and well maintained grounds. Extensive biking and hiking paths connect the island with a sustainable transportation network; our local path is less than 2 blocks away.
The Unique Benefits at this House
All linens, kitchen utensils and supplies are included. Nothing to do but open a good book and relax ... or hike/jog to the beach for early morning exercise ... or walk into town for shopping or dinner. The location is close to everything, including a bakery with the best almond croissants this side of Paris. The spacious patio offers a unique room filled with a soft ocean breeze, yet just outside the convenience of your back door. Tuitions End is tastefully decorated with French and local Nantucket artwork; it's very easy for you to relax and quickly transcend into Nantucket Island mode.
Stop & Shop grocery, Cowboy's Butcher Shop, package store, office supplies, variety, pharmacy, Post Office, Bank of America, etc.
Owner's Map of Nantucket
We were drawn to Nantucket by it's history with the Sea. We had vacationed on Nantucket several times and then had an opportunity to buy our home in 1995, which we named Tuitions End. We have added many custom and personal touches which enhance the comfort of our guests, as well as high tech features, such as wireless internet, computer and printer, stereo system with music CD library and digital cable TV's in loft and bedrooms. We have kept the home unique with a beach side country decor, comfortable sofas and custom bookcases loaded with collections of Nantucket history, cook books, reference books, novels and European travel books. The spacious and private patio has both sunny and shady areas to accommodate reading, relaxing and entertaining. Tuitions End is a short walk to town, shopping, restaurants, the waterfront and beaches.
