About this property

In-Town 4BR Home, Walk to Main Street & More. Pet-Friendly!

Stay in a Piece of Nantucket History
Step into Captain Brownie’s authentic 1804 Sea Captain’s home, just a 10-minute stroll from the heart of Main Street. This charming in-town apartment offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy living room - perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Enjoy a small private yard with a gas grill, table, and chairs, plus the convenience of one off-street parking space. You’ll have your own private entrance; the owner resides in a separate part of the home.

History buffs will love the location: Orange Street was once home to over 100 sea captains in the early 1800s, and the neighborhood still reflects its storied past with beautifully preserved architecture.

Great weekend stay for large group trip

I rented this property for a bachelor weekend trip. It had everything we needed for 10, with a comfortable kitchen and living room, great backyard seating area and perfect location for enjoying downtown Nantucket. Owner was very responsive and helpful.

Great spot

Very convenient location to stay on Nantucket. 10-15 min walk to the ferry, town, restaurants, nightlife and shops. The house itself is very old and a bit small (comfortable for a group of 6, but can sleep more). It was very clean and beds are comfortable. Very pleased with our stay!

Location!

The proximity to town was really ideal as we could easily walk. We did not have a car on the island and it wasn't necessary as we were within walking distance to everything we needed. We only took Ubers when we were going across the island.

Great Location

This is a great location. The house is chopped up with someone living on the first floor, don't try to use the front door or you will see a make-shift kitchen! The house is quite old which does add to it charm but has not been maintained. The outdoor shower did not work, there was some mold in the MRI sized second floor shower and the toilet sink combination required you to be double jointed, I will say that the washer and dryer and stove were new! There is plenty of beds which was great. In summary you get what you pay for so if you are looking for a great location and can overlook the very modest accomidations then go for it.

Unfortunately, not what we paid for

We were not aware that there was an attached (occupied) “apartment” to the house. “Apartment” being that the house was at some point poorly separated into two illegal residences. We walked in through the front door to someone else’s kitchen. There was a connecting door with NO lock on it. The house was extremely dark, small, and felt very unkempt. The back area was filled with garbage for the first few days. The tiny backyard was overgrown. Clearly the property is not taken care of. We have rented twice a year on Nantucket for the past 15 years and this is not the Nantucket charm that people are looking for. Luckily we had friends that we could stay with for the final week. This house requires significant renovations done by licensed contractors to warrant the price listed per week. We are very disappointed with our stay.

A lot of small issues

Perfect for what we needed ( fishing trip ). Sleep 12 adults comfortably. HOWEVER..... check in was at 4pm, We should up at 6pm, To the cleaning people still cleaning and doing sheets. A water leak that collapsed the ceiling The maintenance person trying to fix the hole while we were trying to unpack and settle in. Left over food from the previous renters in refrigerator and on table. Broken WiFi And zero communication with the owner throughout this whole process.

Lovely charming and perfect

We came out to the island to celebrate my 30th birthday, the house was exactly what we needed for a weekend stay. Everyone was ecstatic about the outdoor shower with ample hot water and cute little back yard. The amenities were just the right. The house was clean and spacious enough to keep everyone comfortable and the location was a perfect "home base." If it wasn't for work we would have extended our stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality. :)

Great Stay

We had a great time staying at the Captains Home. There is a small, but nice patio in the backyard with a grill and several places to sit. The house fits plenty of guests and we really enjoyed our stay! We had about 10 guests and we all fit comfortably and had a bed. It was a great location and easily walkable to town or a quick uber ride away. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Edmond Tessier

Host profile image
I’m a lifetime Nantucket summer resident, and this historic home - once owned by 19th-century Sea Captain “Brownie” - has been part of the island’s story for generations. As an antique dealer and frequent traveler, I have a deep appreciation for spaces with history and character, and this one has both in abundance. I enjoy hosting guests who want an authentic Nantucket experience: laid-back, rich in history, and surrounded by the charm of a true sea captain’s home.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it’s in the heart of Nantucket’s historic district: just a short walk to Main Street, shops, and restaurants. The home blends history with comfort, featuring an updated kitchen and 4 bedrooms that can accommodate up to 10 guests. You don’t even need a car here, though you’ll have one off-street parking space plus street parking available. There’s also another apartment in the home that’s separate from the rental.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home unique is its combination of historic charm and smart use of space. It’s cozy yet functional, with everything you need right in the heart of town—and at a price that’s hard to find on Nantucket.
