Sachem Corner Waterview Home and Guest Cottage

The house and cottage were great for our family vacation on Nantucket. The house had a fully equiped kitchen where we prepared most meals and was very cozy for family time together. This house’s location is perfect—very near the beach and a short walk from town. We enjoyed exploring the island on the bicycles at the house. We visited Cisco Brewery, Miacomet Golf Course, and Siasconset. Nantucket Baby was recommended by the owner to supply toys, stroller, and a beach chair. They were fantastic! It was a fabulous family getaway!

We had a great stay at Sachem Corner in Nantucket. As others have noted, the house is older but it's in amazing shape. This is a great space for a family; the house has a nice yard, is close to the beach, and close to town as well. Beyond that, Steve was incredibly responsive to any problems that arose. We had a few small hiccups - it was a bit colder than expected - and Steve quickly had an extra space heater brought over. All in all, we'd be happy to visit again.

It was our first time in Nantucket, and we thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at classic New England home. The location was perfect-- just a literal stone's throw away from beach access and a few minute drive to town. We and our young boys took full advantage of the provided bikes, which were in excellent condition. The boys also enjoyed romping around the backyard and exploring all of Nantucket's picturesque beaches.

Last, but certainly not least, the owner Steve was incredibly responsive and hospitable, both leading up to and during our stay. He made every effort to make us feel welcomed, and we appreciated that.

Hope to be back!

We arrived after dark, right after a rain storm. With my son-in-law navigating ( we had not been to Sachem Corner before), we found Hinkley Ln. and wandered up to find Sachem, turned in at the house,opened the backdoor, stepped in and it was literally like being Home. Since we did not stop for food - it's a long days trip from West Texas, we gathered up and went back, a very short trip, to town to get a bite at our "first day on-island tradition" restaurant, The Brotherhood of Thieves.

Back to the house. My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, Etta stayed in the cottage, the little house as per Etta. All reported "perfect" for their small family. My wife and I as well as my other daughter settled in into the two upstairs bedrooms.

The large living area was perfect for the later evenings when we were all together. The kitchen and dining was great and also large enough for everyone to sit down and have breakfast together.

We discovered that the house was built in 1935 and Steve told me that his grandfather had built it. We live in a house that was built in 1937 and although very different styles it was great to experience those style differences.

The back yard was secluded and a great place to soak up the sun but the front porch was my place ...any time of the day. In the evening the sun going down behind the trees and the morning was quite enough to hear the ocean.

Speaking of the ocean, the stroll to the beach is nothing. We did it plenty of times and Etta had someone going with her to "the beach" as many times as she could.

Steve, says he'd love to have us back, so we have it on our list for next year. My wife and I have been returning to Nantucket since 1986, but we only found Sachem Corner this year, so we may have missed some there, it is at the top of the list for 2018.

Thanks Steve!

Perfect location. House is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully well equipped with everything from bikes to gas grill to dozens of beach towels to all one could need in the kitchen. Not for visitors who want a spanky upscale property -- this is old-time musty Nantucket charm at its best, with lovely (but not overly precious or delicate!) antique furniture, great porch and yard. And Steve Reed is highly responsive and eager to make the visit a success.
