The Scallop is a beautifully furnished 3-bedroom cottage on Smith Point, at the western tip of Nantucket. Smith Point is prized for its tranquility, easy access to the water and amazing sunsets. The cottage is located on Hither Creek, a salt water inlet. It is about 300 feet from a beautiful surf beach and about three blocks from the calm Madaket Harbor beach.
The living room has a beautiful ocean view and opens onto a second-story deck with the same great view. Outside, on ground level, overlooking Hither Creek, there is a patio with a teak table and chairs and a deck with outdoor chairs. The cottage also features a nice large flat lawn and an outdoor shower.
The cottage is within walking distance of a casual restaurant and convenience store and a stop for the shuttle bus to town.
Nantucket offers world-class dining, shopping, golf, fishing and outdoor adventures. For kids, the island offers great day camps, sports lessons and other activities. You will love it!

Great ocean and sunset views! The house is in a quiet setting and has all the necessary amenities for a great beach vacation. Having stayed in town for many trips to Nantucket, the serenity of 'The Scallop' was a welcome change In addition to being close to beach, the house is a short walk to the shuttle bus and bike trails for trips around the island. Property was clean, well maintained and the owners were very helpful and quick to respond to questions. Our group loved it so much we are already looking forward to next year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

Immaculate seaside home surrounded by glorious ocean views, a five minute walk to Madaket Harbor, and nestled at the edge of Hither Creek. Water everywhere! View Nantucket's treasures from balconies and decks surrounding the house. Private sunset views, anyone?Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: We bought The Scallop in 2004, after selling a cottage in Surfside, on the south shore of the island. We have two young boys who love their visits to the cottage and the chance to explore the island.
Why the Owner Chose Madaket:
We chose the location due to its wonderful access to beaches and boating opportunities, as well as lack of traffic (both car and air traffic). Crossing over the bridge to Smith Point is like taking a step back in time. We find it incredibly relaxing.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The cottage offers easy, quick access to both the surf beach and the harbor beach. You can go downtown and explore the shops and restaurants, or just stay out in our peaceful part of the island. Nantucket also offers a great network of bike trails and a great shuttle bus system, including a stop near the cottage.
