Many Castles is a completely furnished and equipped, 'upside-down' house located on the south side of Nantucket Island. Access to Many Castles is provided by a privately maintained road which winds through more than a mile of conservation land in beautiful Madaquecham Valley. This exclusive area of the Island is protected by Nantucket law and consists of only a dozen or so homes nestled among several thousand acres of moors, meadows, and beaches. Yet you are only several minutes by car from the shopping and excitement of Nantucket Town.
Built in 1983 in a style reminiscent of the Federal Period with its hipped roof and ornamental widow's walk, Many Castles is situated to take maximum advantage of 180 degree ocean views from the expansive second level walk-out deck. A broad, sandy, ocean beach, well known by island natives for its privacy, beauty, and excellent fishing is just a ten minute walk down an idyllic path through unspoiled heartland and meadows. Or enjoy volleyball at our backyard court.

HELLO Nancy No one “on the mainland” believes us when we tell them we had seven days on the beach. Evidently Nantucket weather is different. We once took a tour of Great Pont –the leader told us to check Long Island weather to get the true forecast for Nantucket. The house and the “Improvements” were great and the early arrival works so very well. When your return in the fall, we hope the window boxes are growing as well and strong as we found them YES, we wish to come back next year---starting Saturday August 3 for one week. There will be four of us. We will sign the lease when you have time to send it--- Cheers! Liz and DanDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Hi Nancy, Your home on Nantucket was fantastic. Both our children and grandchildren claim it was the best vacation ever and I agree with them. There was plenty of sleeping space for all eight of us. And the upside down layout allows us all to spend morning and evening together viewing some of the most fantastic sunrise and sunsets I have ever seen. There was plenty of activities to keep us busy during the day and the grandkids enjoyed the large selection of beaches. They really loved playing in the sand and waves. When we arrived at the cottage was it sparkling clean and ready for us. Your caretaker and cleaning women were most helpful and congenial. There was plenty of everything from towels, to linens, to toys for the kids. It was just the perfect place. Our kids and grandkids are still talking about their stay at your cottage. A surprising favorite of the girls was the outside shower. They all loved it and enjoyed evening shows under the stars. Thank you for sharing your fantastic Nantucket home with us.

Nancy, We loved staying at your place. What a wonderful location! We forgot a white power cable for our computer. Did the cleaners or the new tenants find it by any chance? It was left plugged in the kitchen area, next to the dinning table. Many thanks,Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1987
About the owner: When I am not busy managing Many Castles and Twin Gables Cottage, I am swimming or practicing Yoga. My favorite activities include riding my bike to the beach, or junking for 'Treasure' in Thrift stores and Antique shops.
Why the Owner Chose Madaquecham:
Madaquecham Valley is incomparable to any other place on earth. For anyone desiring a pristine, tranquil location a short walk to the beach, this is the place! We immediately fell in love with the valley and so purchased Many Castles because of this unique location. In spite of that 'get away' feeling, we are just a short drive to Sconset and Nantucket Towns.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The walk to the beach, the ocean breeze, beautiful blue water and sandy beach views, red tail hawks outside our windows. Did I forget to mention the Atlantic Ocean?
