A fun place to stay for a large family gathering. Close enough to walk into town but away from the busy streets. Biked everywhere. Plenty of space to relax. Be alone if one wanted to or be all together for meals, etc. Outdoor area was so beautiful and peaceful. Old house with a total Nantucket vibe. We all loved it!!

Nantucket is a special place and the Top of Main home was very special as well. This home was even pointed out on the island tour that we booked. The description on VRBO drew us to book. Once we were in communication with the owners, their details, suggestions, quick responses and supportive advice made our stay wonderful. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

the perfect place for our family wedding gathering

WOW, just WOW! The place is spacious; furniture, especially beds, are super comfortable; state-of-the-art appliances; all the plates, utensils, pots/pans you could ever need; cute, relaxing courtyard! Lots of gathering spaces for our large group to enjoy. Easy walk to town or hop on The Wave transport that stops nearby. The owners are super helpful and responsive. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Inaccurate and misrepresentation of accommodations

In short, this listing is inaccurate. All of the spaces listed were not inhabitable. 2 of the spaces (the cottage and red room) were uninhabitable due to high moisture/dampness levels requiring us to empty dehumidifiers several times a day. Additionally, there were several plug in air fresheners making it offensive and concerning. We were counting on these spaces given the size of our family. After much effort and no success in our search for an alternate location, we had to divide our family and relocate some to a hotel. It was very disappointing to say the least and took time out of our one week stay. After much back and forth with the owner/host we have had no resolution. We have been spending time on Nantucket for many years as a family.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Jan 2024
Hi Keith, I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We did our best to address your requests during your stay including sending our caretakers and housekeepers for additional visits and offering to refund or relocate you. Our family spends several weeks in this house each year and comfortably sleeps 10 (sometimes more) from four generations ranging from 9 months old to 87! Over the years, many other renters have comfortably brought up to 10 people for one or multiple weeks at a time. I am upset that you have called the house terrible and the listing inaccurate; many renters have visited the house and find the listing accurate and representative of the home. My family and I and many others adore this house and I believe that if you return next summer you will enjoy it as well. Best, Mark

We have since introduced our grandson, extended family, and friends to the island. The house has lots of interesting space to accommodate extended family of all ages.
