  If you're looking for something glitzy and new, this isn't the house for you. But if you want to feel as though you're part of generations of summer holiday-makers on the Far Away Island, then this might be the house for you. This historic house is comfortable (photos are accurate) and the kitchen works well -- we prepared multiple meals for 6-8 people, and then enjoyed them by candlelight in the dining room. The garden is a very pleasant place to gather and read or talk or even dine outside. Walk one block and you're downtown -- near multiple restaurants and shops -- perfect for window-shopping or actually stimulating the economy. Bike another few blocks and you're at Jettie's Beach. This house is well situated -- it's not necessary to have a car to take advantage of the many pleasure of Nantucket. The owner clearly takes great care of the house, and I would certainly recommend it to a friend or relative.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway.

  My husband and I rented 8 Westminster for one week last August to host our closest family and friends as we celebrated our wedding. We held the ceremony and the reception in the garden, with the beautiful grey shingled house as the backdrop. It was the perfect setting to gather our nearest and dearest to celebrate our big day. The location is PERFECT, just one block from the bustling town where restaurants, boutiques, and ice cream shops await. It's also biking distance from many of the beaches and sights (our favorites were Surfside Beach, the Cisco Brewery Tour, and the Whaling Museum). The house itself offers loads- history, character, plenty of space...a peaceful and quiet getaway. We loved gathering around the kitchen table for coffee and goodies from the Nantucket Bakeshop, and enjoyed many big "family" dinners in the spacious garden with fresh local produce from the Bartlett Farm Truck. The owner was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process as well as during our rental. Her love for the house is evident in the careful maintenance of such a lovely historic home. We HIGHLY recommend this properly for an authentic and personal Nantucket experience. We have such special memories from our time in the house, and I know you will too.

  This lovely home exudes the true charm and history of Nantucket while being comfortable and a great place to relax and enjoy your time on the island. The big kitchen is great for large informal meals and cooking with friends while there are plenty of places throughout the house to put up your feet and relax. The garden is beautiful too.
