About Steve Reed
My name is Stephen Reed. I manage Sachem Corner on behalf of my cousins and their parents.
I have been coming to Nantucket since I was one and lived on Nantucket from 88 through 91. I still have numerous ties to Island and make it down for at least two weeks every summer.
Why Steve Reed chose Nantucket Island
Sachem Corner has been in our family since it was built by my great grandfather in 1934. In the late 80s I spent considerable time at Sachem. During that time I added the gardens and laid the back patio. I have a tremendous attachment to Sachem Corner and hope you will as well.
What makes this cottage unique
When you visit Sachem it is easy to imagine what summering in Nantucket must have been like in the 30s. Sachem Corner is on secluded dirt road. The many large original windows have great light and let in a lot of fresh air. The widows walk is a delight for children.

Classic Nantucket
My family stayed at this adorable little cottage in June. It is filled with charm from a simplier time. The location cannot be beat as it is only a 2 minute walk to the beach and a short bike ride to town. It made it easy to come back to for lunch or a quick nap for our toddler. The guest cottage was perfect for our aunt who stayed with us on the trip. It allowed for privacy, but togetherness all at the same time. I highly recommend this property if you are looking to experience quintessential Nantucket - a front porch, peace & quiet, amazing views, and no need for TV. We hope to make this cottage a new family tradition!
Quaint and Homey
This was our first visit to Nantucket and we loved it. Sachem was a wonderful surprise and better than the photos reveal. Was very clean and all of our needs were met with what was available on the property. Location was convenient to downtown and also to the beaches we discovered and became our favorites. We traveled with our grandson and his fiance and they stayed in the house and we stayed in the guesthouse. The stairs were too much for us in the main house. The beds were comfortable which was a relief for someone with back problems. The brick walk to the guesthouse was being worked on when we arrived. Would suggest another small step be installed at the guesthouse. The first step is too high and was problematic getting in and out. Would also suggest another mirror in the guesthouse as the one above the sink in the bathroom is very small. A heater there would be useful also. Other than those small suggestions, we were very satisfied and had a wonderful time. Thanks to the Reed family for making vacation 2017 a comfortable and enjoyable one. 2018 is on the drawing board and will probably be a return to Nantucket and Sachem.
Perfect Balance of Convenience and Privacy
We loved staying here. We actually walked to and from town multiple times, as well as to Jetties Beach area. The rental is only steps away from steps beach, which in itself is absolutely stunning. The widows walk provides a beautiful view, we went up a couple times each day. The house was well appointed with everything you would need. Perfect patio area for a cookout- hard to decide between a quiet night in vs. a night out downtown because it was such a comfortable and relaxing place. The guest house was great too, and honestly it is all we would ever need on the island! We would rent this place again in a heart beat.
Honeymoon Bliss
My Husband and I spent a week of our honeymoon at this lovely cottage. We loved the location of this house, it was close to town and to the beach but very private and quiet. There is access to stairs that go down to the beach just one street over and because parking isn't permitted on that road there was hardly anyone at the beach. Swimming was fantastic, warm water and gentle waves. We loved watching the sunsets every night from the widow's walk while enjoying a glass of wine and some appy's. The view from the widow's walk is spectacular, one of the best things about this property. The cottage was really clean and everything was in well working order. We loved the historic feel of the home including the clawfoot tub upstairs and all the cool artwork and furniture throughout the house. The kitchen table was great for working on puzzles on cloudy days, the chairs were so comfy and unique. We also appreciated the abundance of towels, the awesome outdoor shower, and the backyard, and bikes. Steve was easy to correspond with and our deposit was returned shortly after our departure. We can't wait to return to this lovely cottage!
Fantastic Location
We stayed at Sachem Corner for the last week in August until just before Labor Day. The house could not have been in a better location. A 2 min walk to the secluded, almost private beach and a 5-10 min drive into town or a 15-20 min bike ride to town. The outdoor patio/furniture and the spacious yard were great to have as well.
As for the house itself, it is definitely older and Cape-y, however, we were so surprised at how clean and well maintained it was. No cobwebs, no bugs, all the dishes, silverware and pots/pans were very clean. The one suggestion I made was to update the upstairs bathroom/shower, which seems to be on the to-do list but not for a little while out. The claw foot tub is quaint, but it is a little inconvenient/uncomfortable to use. However, the outdoor shower was perfect and very clean and enjoyable to use, so we just mainly used that instead.
It was also really nice to have bikes provided at the house, since the bike trail is right down the road and the house is bike-able to many things. Some of us even biked to the Cisco Brewery just fine.
I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who values a great location/experience more than luxurious accommodations. We are working on getting back for next summer!
