About this property

Spacious, Family-Friendly Home in Quiet Location Near Everything

This family home offers a unique blend of luxury, space, convenience, and privacy. Relax in the perfect location—near everything, but away from the island bustle on a quiet road abutting the Nantucket State Forest.

The property is perfect for extended families, with loads of indoor and outdoor space and comfortable sleeping for 10.

THE HOUSE: DESIGNED FOR RELAXATION

On the first floor, an open layout offers tons of light and space to spread out. The front room is a great place to gather for family fun, with a TV, a wide selection of games and puzzles, and a large game table. A separate living room features post-and-beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, lots of comfortable seating, and a second TV with an eclectic collection of DVDs.

The well-appointed kitchen is designed for cooking, with a Frigidaire gas range and oven, a side-by-side LG refrigerator, a wine fridge, two sinks, and a Bosch dishwasher. You’ll also find a wide range of tools and appliances, including a blender, ice cream maker, waffle iron, 12-cup coffee maker, teakettle, lobster pots, and more. A kitchen island invites family time during meal prep, while a separate dining area seats 8–10.

The main bedroom features a sumptuous king bed, a walk-in closet, a cozy loveseat for reading, and a small flat-screen TV. Large windows bring in morning light, and a French door opens to the back porch and garden. The luxurious main bath offers a whirlpool tub, twin sinks, and a huge dual shower with deluxe rain shower heads.

An airy second bedroom on the first floor offers twin beds, great light, and plenty of closet space. Also on the first floor is a private powder room and a separate, well-stocked laundry room.

The second floor offers two spacious, light-filled bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with two queen beds. Another full bath includes a shower, bath, and twin sinks. Also upstairs is a charming reading nook featuring a sunny window seat and shelves with books for all ages.

You’ll really feel that you’re on vacation in this home. It’s designed for comfort and relaxation, with spacious rooms, cozy seating, comfy beds, and plenty of separate areas for rest, reading, conversation, and family fun. A choice of temperature controls--including screened windows throughout, ceiling fans, and a new heat pump/A/C system-- lets you select what works for you while helping to protect the environment.

THE GROUNDS: FUN IN THE SUN (OR SHADE)

Outside you'll find an inviting wraparound porch that's perfect for morning coffee or wine and cheese in the evening. There's seating all around, including a cushioned sofa and chairs, tables, and lounge chairs for relaxing in the sun or shade.

The large private yard has trees full of birdsong, flowering bushes, and lots of space for playing or sunning. A teak patio table with umbrella is great for outdoor dining, and the deluxe gas grill is big enough to cook for everyone. A fully enclosed outdoor cedar shower is the perfect way to end a day at the beach or in town.

The house comes with a full complement of beach equipment, including towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, and sand toys, so you don't have to buy things or drag them from home. You'll also find outdoor games like paddle ball and frisbee.

A WONDERFUL CENTRAL LOCATION

The property's Surfside location is central to beaches, shops, biking, and hiking. Take the bike path or back roads to the south shore beaches, just 1.4 miles away. The adjacent Nantucket State Forest is great for walking; you can also try out the forest's public 18-hole disc golf course.

Right down the street is the Hinsdale Park & Discovery Playground, a multi-use area with a great accessible playground. Also nearby is The Creeks Preserve, a lovely park that overlooks the Creeks salt marsh and Nantucket Harbor.

Lots of hidden-gem shops and cafes are within easy walking distance, including the Nantucket Meat and Fish Market, Espresso to Go, the Nantucket Bake Shop, Pip & Anchor, and some of the island's best family-owned restaurants. To go further afield, you can catch the WAVE bus line just two blocks away to get to pretty much anywhere on the island.

With the forest and loads of amenities right here, town less than two miles away, and beaches even closer, this private getaway has it all!

P.S. SUPERIOR CLEANING AT NO EXTRA CHARGE

The house is professionally cleaned by one of the island's premier firms, left sparkling clean and disinfected for each new rental group. This cost is included in the rental fee, so you won't find surprise cleaning charges.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Partridge

Host profile image

After coming to Nantucket for more than 20 years, we were delighted to find this wonderful family home. We have 5 family members and lots of relatives, so the space and location of this house are perfect for us.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the airy rooms and natural light, which melt work/life tension the moment you step in. With 2 family rooms, a big kitchen, a wraparound porch, and great outdoor space, the layout makes the house feel uncrowded even with lots of people.

As much as we love the island, we don't love the traffic and noise of some of the locations where we've stayed. This peaceful spot, right next to the state forest on a quiet dirt road, offers a perfect getaway. The big yard, protected by a wraparound hedge, is a safe area for kids to play.

The forest is a great place for hiking and biking, and it has an 18-hole disc golf course, which is fun for kids and adults alike. A short ride on the bike path takes you to Surfside and the other gorgeous south shore beaches. We're also within an easy walk to a fantastic bakery, an organic food shop, and the famed Meat and Fish Market, as well as several terrific restaurants that serve mostly locals.

What makes this property unique

Even in the height of summer, this spot offers a relaxing haven. On a foggy night you can hear the harbor foghorn in the distance; without the intrusion of traffic noise, you can easily imagine life in centuries past.

You don't have to sacrifice convenience for this idyllic location. Town is less than 2 miles away, and beautiful Surfside beach is an easy, flat 1.4-mile bike ride. With bike paths, two bike rental shops, and the bus route just steps away, the whole island is accessible with or without a car.
