Perfect Nantucket getaway

Mark was a fantastic host, very communicative and seamless check-in to the property. The house is in a beautiful and quiet area, and conveniently located close to the Wave shuttle. The accommodations were all we could need and then some. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Loved the house, neighborhood and proximity to beaches. Also access to tennis courts was a plus. Some small nitpicks on the rental bikes conditions but the beach chairs were a pleasant surprise

Thank you for the review. Yes the bikes are a bit rough. We do look the bikes over and all are inspected each spring for tire pressure brake functionality and general tightness of components for safety. They are rough but serviceable not good for theq Tour de France.

Great cottage in Natucket

The cottage was perfect for our vacation. There was ample parking, plenty of room, and everything was as advertised. We cooked in every night and were happy to find a kitchen with plenty of cookware and utensils. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable. The perfect Nantucket cottage and would stay again!

Gorgeous location!!

We really enjoyed our trip to Nantucket and staying here was perfect for us! Mark was very responsive and helpful for any questions. Our favorite part was that the home had bikes so we were able to easily get around the island, along with a bus stop at the end of the street. There was plenty of space and the home was very clean. We loved the location as it was a bit quieter and relaxing. Would love to come back!
