Please contact host prior to submitting a booking request. This property is professionally managed by Nantucket Rentals. Availability must be confirmed with the property manager prior to any request being accepted. Booking requests submitted without confirming availability may need to be declined.

Welcome to ALLEGRA (meaning happy); a truly custom home at 22 Blackfish Lane situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Sconset. Only minutes walk from the historic village, several restaurants, Sconset Market and the beach.
From the moment you step onto the wide plank French Oak floors you will appreciate the one of a kind details throughout this custom Nantucket home. Stepping outside you will have uninterrupted views with spectacular sunsets looking directly across the pebbletec infinity pool and then over miles of conservation land of the Nantucket Moors. The bluestone deck of the pool has an open air seating area with a gas fire-table. There is also a large grill just steps from the kitchen. An outdoor covered dining table is located directly off of the main dining room, as well. Stepping down to the lawn from the infinity pool deck, there is a stone wood-burning firepit, surrounded by beach sand and Adirondack chairs. A large cedar outdoor shower with an enclosed changing area is right off the driveway as is the entrance to the mud room with direct access to the laundry room with an oversized washer and dryer. There is a Guest Cottage located directly across the pool deck, which is finished with the same quality and attention to detail as the main house.

Please note: A signed rental agreement is required to finalize your reservation. Even if your booking request is accepted through VRBO, it is not fully confirmed until the rental agreement has been reviewed and signed. Instructions to complete the agreement will be provided immediately after booking.
Siasconset, or simply 'Sconset, as locals call it, is the area on the eastern most end of the island. About a seven mile drive from Town, on Nantucket’s only state road, Sconset is its own little world. In the summer, the village is blanketed with rose-covered cottages, lush green hedges, large hydrangeas and white shell driveways around every corner. Just when you think Nantucket Island can’t get any better, head out to Sconset for a little slice of heaven out on the east end.

Beaches

Just beyond the village is Sconset Beach, great for sunbathing, a picnic and the place where the sun rises first in the United States. Kids can walk across the street from the beach to enjoy the nearby Codfish Park playground.

Attractions

The Sconset Bluff Walk is a popular walking path that is open to the public and winds through rosa rugosa, honeysuckle, and the backyards of ocean view mansions. A must to visit is the beloved Sankaty Head Lighthouse; the only original lighthouse still standing on the island. Completed in 1850, the lighthouse was 60 feet high with 10 more feet added in 1888 as a lantern deck. No longer needed as a working lighthouse, and in serious danger of falling into the sea, the Sconset Trust in 2007 took ownership of the property and moved the lighthouse to safer ground. The grounds are open daily and several times a year the public is welcomed to walk to the top.

Golf & Tennis

Sconset is also known as a haven for golfers. There are three golf courses – Nantucket Golf Club, Sankaty Head Golf Club, and Old Siasconset Golf Course, affectionately known as “Skinner’s.” The first two are 18 holes and private, with the latter course being 9 holes and open to the public. This course is believed to be the oldest privately-owned golf course still being played. If tennis is more your flavor, the Sconset Casino maintains an excellent set of courts for the enjoyment of members.

Restaurants

The Chanticleer is the ultimate spot for a romantic dinner. Whether you dine al fresco in their beautiful gardens or in one of their elegant dining rooms, their French cuisine and wine list makes for a memorable evening. Ocean Avenue is where you will find the Summer House. Enjoy cocktails and lunch by the pool, or have dinner in the main restaurant while listening to classic tunes on the piano. The Sconset Café (cash only & BYOB) and Claudette’s Sandwich Shop are two other options in the heart of the Village, next to the rotary. Around the corner is the Sconset Market, a great place to grab a morning coffee and blueberry muffin, a sandwich for the beach, ice cream, or that gourmet dinner ingredient you forgot while you were downtown.

Events

Celebrating the beginning of spring, the Daffodil Festival is held the last weekend in April and it is the first of many island festivals. Hosted by the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce, the weekend is full of events such as art shows, tours, parades, contests, and the annual Nantucket Daffodil Flower Show. The tailgate picnic in Sconset that follows the Antique Car Parade is a favorite among everyone who attends this Nantucket festival.
