Nantucket moms retreat

We had the Nantucket experience we hoped for—the house was perfect and had everything we needed. It was a great location by the bike path and walking distance to Steps Beach and town. We explored every part of the island. We loved the yard and deck and privacy to sit outside. It has a great set up, inside and out. We really enjoyed our stay and Kara was an excellent and responsive host.

Nantucket Cottage

We had a fantastic time at this cottage. We had 5 guests but it sleeps 8-10+. Super easy loungy layout to the main floor for daily routines. Only 5 minutes to town, 10 minutes to Surfside Beach, 10 minutes to Millie’s. The house was super quiet for lazy afternoons and evenings. We hope we can come back sometime.

Perfect stay in a perfect location

Our long journey from Germany was definitely worth it. We were rewarded with a beautiful house on the dreamlike Nantucket. Everything was perfect and to feel good! The kitchen is super equipped and we had nice family dinners together. The ambience is stylish and tasteful and very comfortable. We were all very happy and recommended Maddshack to others like acquaintances. Thank you very much for all your help,dear Kara

Young family vacation

Best location on the island in my opinion. With a car, it's central to activities of all kinds whether beach/town/biking exploring the island etc. Beautiful views from back deck. Nice yard. Enough space to spread out for a family with young kids (we shared the house with friends and we both have kids 5 and under). Clean living spaces and well designed layout. We would rent again.

Perfect Nantucket Getaway

MaddshACK was tastefully decorated and exactly as listed. Kara was attentive and kind. Close enough to the city to walk/bike but far enough to enjoy the solace our family needed. We all loved being so close to Steps Beach and highly recommend this home.

Beautiful home with gorgeous view

This is a beautiful home with very lovely decor and an awesome view overlooking a big nature area. It was well-appointed with everything we needed. The owner was easy to communicate with and left lots of detailed instructions so we weren’t ever uncertain how something worked etc. The home is off a dirt road on a very quiet street but conveniently located to Cliff Road bike path. It had lots of balconies and porches for a nice outdoor drink or meal, and we could hear live music from the country club across the way that was having a wedding, it was quite lovely. Would recommend it!

Quintessential ACK Summer

This property has everything. The proximity to the best beach, the sunsets, the privacy and yet the neighborhood feel and proximity to town. Best for a family with teen children because the kids bedrooms are downstairs. There are two nice bedrooms upstairs but they share a small bath which makes it challenging sharing with friends or even family unless very close family. But absolutely beautiful comfortable relaxing stay here.

Great location, terrific view and great house

We had a great week - the house was deceptively spacious with room for all 6 of us and the indoor space for bikes in the garage was a plus. The view off the terrace was a peaceful treat and expanded the footprint of the first floor even more. Given we generally do not take a car to the island, the walkable proximity to town, and thereby the Stop & Shop there, made getting around super easy. The terrific artwork on the walls was an extra plus.
