About the host
Hosted by Jonathan Zschau
I am a Boston-based Massachusetts attorney. This property was built by my parents in 2015-2016 and I am assisting them with the logistics of renting this property on VRBO. I am also available to provide you with any information and recommendations regarding what to do, where to eat, and what to see on Nantucket.
Why they chose this property
This new, modern construction is located in the Nantucket Town Core Historic District. It faces Nantucket Harbor and is footsteps from Main Street Nantucket, the Great Harbor Yacht Club, the new in-town bike path, and the beach.
What makes this property unique
The location is hard to beat. The home is located directly across from Francis St. Beach so you will always enjoy stunning Nantucket Harbor views. If you do stay here, please take the time to enjoy at least one sunrise and sunset from the front deck. You will not regret it. Footsteps from Main Street Nantucket so you do not even need a car. New in 2019, we have two paddle boards and one tandem sea kayak available for our guests to use.
