This charming vacation home is ideal for a wonderful family getaway. A video of the property can be emailed by the owners or viewed via a link from the property website. The cottage is located in the beautiful Madaket section on the West End of Nantucket known for its stunning sunsets over the water. We have named our cottage "3 buoys" and it is located at 41 Tennessee Avenue, a quiet dirt road about five miles from downtown on the bus line.
This secluded pine paneled cottage is located a 100 yards up a grassy path from Hither Creek, which is a navigable waterway that flows into Madaket Harbor.
Madaket Beach, which is a gorgeous soft-sand big surf ocean beach, is three quarters of a mile down the Madaket bike path from "3 buoys". It is also a short half-mile walk to Madaket Harbor and a shallow harbor beach that is great for small children.
The front sitting porch is the perfect spot for watching the famous Madaket sunsets. There is a covered breezeway between the house and garage providing a shady sheltered seating area suitable for cocktails or light dining.
In addition the house is surrounded by a large sunny yard and features a small walled garden with trumpet vines and hydrangeas.
The house features newly refinished honey-colored wide pine floors and beautiful pine paneling in the main living areas. The house has baseboard heat and the living room includes a glass enclosed brick fireplace.
The house was renovated in 2003 and features new lighting, freshly painted bedrooms with charming stencils,and updated kitchen and bath. The house is completely outfitted with china, flatware, linens and towels. The yard includes a gas grill, picnic table and outdoor furniture. Beach chairs, beach towels and coolers are also provided.
There are beds for eight in three bedrooms. There is a full bath with a glass-enclosed tub and there is also an enclosed outside shower. Two of the bedrooms have queen-size beds. The bunkroom has two pine bunk beds. There is also a laundry area with washer and dryer. A complete video tour of the property is posted on youtube.

Bill Beckett is a native of Massachusetts and Carla Kindt was born and raised in California. 3Buoys is named after their 3 sons.
Why the Owner Chose Madaket
We are long-time sailors and have spent many years cruising Cape Cod and the island, but of all the harbors we have enjoyed Nantucket has always been our favorite.
The Unique Benefits of this House
What makes 3Buoys special is that you really get the feeling of being away from it all. Nantucket has a remote, beachy feel that we love and the yard is very private. Make sure you head outsie on a cloudless night. The entire Milky Way will unfold overhear. Madaket has one of the darkest skies in the US and is perfect for stargazing. And the front porch is a great place from which to watch the sunset.
