About this property

Nantucket Gem - Private Setting / Edge of Town/1 mile to beach and town

Welcome to the Windham House! This upside down vacation home is casual, comfortable, and is set on a very private, quiet lot with beautiful sunset views. The setting is truly wonderful and idilic, situated off a private dirt road.

The location provides easy access to everything that Nantucket has to offer! Getting around is convenient on foot, bike, car or bus. The home is adjacent to the Madaket Bike path and also close to the local bus (called “The Wave”). It is one mile to the historical downtown area filled with museums, galleries, shops and restaurants. The closest beach is 1.3 miles away (Steps Beach). If you love nature, there are many conservation areas to explore within walking distance. Our favorite for expansive ocean views is Tupancy Links.

The house is a great spot to access Nantucket’s shops and restaurants and is also great for relaxing and taking it slow. A typical day could involve walking to downtown for some shopping, getting sandwiches at Something Natural, choosing a beach for some sun and fun, and then unwinding at home on the upstairs deck to let the fresh ocean air recharge you. Grab a cocktail or a Cisco beer and sit and read your book all day. Bird lovers, keep a lookout for hawks and the many bird species that abound.

The home is an upside down house, which means the main living area is upstairs to take advantage of the setting. The first floor has two bedrooms each with twin beds, a full bathroom, laundry area, and a living room with two futons and a TV. The laundry area has beach towels for 6. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom, the kitchen and dining area, living room, and an outdoor deck with seating to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The side deck features a charcoal bbq. The yard is private with plenty of parking and room to have fun and play. Use the outdoor shower and shed with beach chairs and toys. The home is also equipped with a pack-and-play and baby gates for families traveling with children.

We look forward to hosting you at our Nantucket home! Please reach out with any questions.

Great location, property and home
This home is wonderful! Then location is ideal. With easy access to town (by bike, car or even walking), steps beach, out to madaket, to mid island, etc. the property is well kept making it great for hanging outside on the upstairs deck, front porch or even on the lawn. The home is well stocked with comfortable and stylish furnishing. It feels like a home, not a rental meaning that it’s actually comfortable to hang out in.

Amazing week just outside of town!
Just spent the dreamiest week in Nantucket with my husband and parents! We all couldn't get over the house - photos do not do it justice. This is the cleanest, most well-cared for rental I have ever stayed in and the natural light was unbelievable. We enjoyed many coffees and cocktails on the beautiful deck, enjoying gorgeous sunsets and peace + quiet. The location could not be better! We walked to town at least once per day, and our favorite South Shore beaches were a mere 10 minute drive. We explored the whole island easily from this launch point. And finally, communication with Kirsten was wonderful. She answered questions quickly and was accomodating on our requests - although there weren't many, as the house is fully stocked with everything you need! A dream stay and we will return!

Great house and location
We have stayed at many homes on the island, but we especially enjoyed our stay here. It is in a very central location and it was easy to get around the entire island. We highly recommend this property.

Great location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Great space for our family of 4. Location was perfect for us…so close to town yet in private, quiet area. Great walking path right by the house and steps beach is only 5 minutes away. On the interior, the house has a great layout with living space/kitchen/dining on the 2nd floor and pretty view out of the French doors which lead to a deck. Also, I enjoy cooking and found the kitchen to be much better equipped for cooking than many other rentals I have stayed in. Highly recommend!
