Such a great house on a great island!

Our group had an amazing time at Stephanie's property. The house was better than expected, clean, and so cute. Stephanie was always available if we needed her and even provided recommendations for our group when it was raining. The outdoor space is a little oasis! Would love to stay at Stephanie's home again and highly recommend.

Amazing stay

I stayed at this amazing home with a group of friends over Memorial Day Weekend. This house was absolutely perfect with tons of sleeping areas, a beautiful kitchen, living room and backyard to spend time in. Stephanie was extremely prompt in responding to any questions I had throughout the weekend. We will definitely be back next year! 10/10 would recommend!

The most amazing stay!

From the moment we started communicating with Stephanie, to our arrival, and departure, everything has been outstanding. The house is exactly, if not better, than the listing online. Stephanie was very informative, quick to respond, and very helpful. The location of the house is minutes from the airport, and downtown. The downstairs game room was so fun and the bicycles they provided were a definite plus for getting around the island. Staying here made our trip so much better. If we ever come back to Nantucket, we would definitely stay again!

Perfect!

We had a truly wonderful time, Stephanie made the check-in process very easy. The house is located close enough to town that it is only a short taxi away, everything in the house is clean, there’s plenty of space and the house is even nicer than the listing. Charming neighborhood. 10/10

Perfect rental for multiple families!

We had such a wonderful stay at this house. Our party consisted of 3 families - 6 adults, one teen and 6 kids from ages 11-4. The bedrooms were perfect - 3 bedrooms with king beds, the teen had her own queen bedroom and the kids loved the attic room with all the twin beds. The living area on the first floor is open and spacious, with quality, comfortable furniture. The beds were VERY comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Stephanie checked on us via text often and was incredibly responsive to our every need. The neighborhood is adorable, and a short uber ride to town. Highly recommend!

Making memories…

Our group consisted of 4 adults and 5 children ranging from 3-11. Everyone had a wonderful time. Plenty of space to spread out. The beds were very comfortable. The pool/playground/tennis courts were conveniently located right behind the house! The bike path was right at the end of the road. Close to everything we needed and a quick 10 minute drive to town. We were blessed with beautiful weather all week long! We definitely made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for opening your home to our family. We’ll definitely be bACK. ❤️

Wonderful ACKommodations

This beautify decorated home is in an excellent location, close to many of the island attractions and the neighborhood is just lovely. Going for morning walks and reading all the neighborhood quarter boards was a treat as well as having access to the neighborhood amenities. The house itself was very roomy for two families of three and my mom. We were able to be together in the common areas very comfortably and had our own spaces with the two primary bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable, we all slept extremely well! The kids LOVED the Children’s room with the six day/trundle beds and immediately unpACKed their clothes and toys. The downstairs media/game room was a huge hit with the kids and adults! The owner, Stephanie, was a delight to work with and I’ll miss relaying our daily adventures but we are absolutely staying here again!

Beautiful home, fantastic host!

What a wonderful stay we had at Three Gulls and a Buoy! From the first contact with owner Stephanie, till the very end of our stay, everything was perfect. The house is huge, beautifully decorated, comfy, and extremely well equipped. We lacked nothing! Bedrooms were roomy, beds were comfortable, and everyone had plenty of space. The home was great for children. The kids loved the play space in the basement and the huge third floor bedroom. The large kitchen and coffee bar were great for us adults (8), as was the lovely, private backyard and screened room. We had pizza from Shangri-La sitting around the firepit one evening, it was lovely! Stephanie is an amazing host - so gracious and accommodating, and full of great tips! Nantucket is so charming and beautiful, we wished we had more time there. A fantastic vacation, and we hope to return. Wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Stephanie and family!!

An Amazing Family Stay in Nantucket!!

Our multigenerational family rented this beautiful home for four days after Christmas! It exceeded our expectations and we would love to make it a new annual tradition! The house was super spacious, spotless and very comfortable for our large group. The younger kids loved both the arcade games on the lower level and the huge entertainment system on the top floor. There were more than enough beds for all 16 of us to sleep comfortably and the open floor plan on the main floor was ideal for being all together. The location was perfect too! We had rented a car so it was a quick drive downtown but we easily ubered and walked a few times as well. The house must be amazing in the summertime when you can utilize the outside patio and enclosed porch. Without a doubt, the best part of this rental is the homeowner Stephanie! She was so warm, accommodating and such a wonderful host throughout our stay. She went above and beyond to make our stay the best experience and treated us like a good friend! We cannot say enough about this vacation rental!! It is truly an incredible gem!

Beautiful week to celebrate Mom & Dad!

Our family of 14 rented this house to celebrate my Mom and Dad’s birthdays - it was perfect! My siblings and I and our children had plenty of room to relax, read, play games, cook and enjoy some meals, coffee or wine together! The bedrooms were so comfortable and cozy and were a great retreat when needed! The young children and teens also loved having the upstairs and basement to themselves! The pool and tennis courts were a short walk away and the beautiful beaches were a 10-25 minute drive away depending on how far you want to venture! The Wave is convenient (although a little long of a walk to the development stop for the elderly) to take around the island to visit some popular spots but I definitely recommend renting a car and having the freedom to come and go as you please and explore the whole island! Stephanie is awesome and has so many helpful tips on what to see or do! She checks in regularly and is an amazing host! I feel like I know her by now, lol! My only recommendation would be for a pancake griddle since our kids like their pancakes on Sunday mornings. Otherwise, this house has anything you may want or need! We will always treasure our memories made at “3 Gulls & A Buoy”!

Awesome location for a girls trip or family get-away!

Stephanie, Thank you so much for hosting our Marshfield Moms Group for the annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll in your beautiful "Three Gulls & a Buoy" home. We were a group of 14 moms - some local, some from out of state and first timers to Nantucket. We we started the rental process with many texts/questions and you were always available to provide quick and thorough answers. We appreciated that and we knew from the start that this rental relationship would be a great one! Now for the house. It's gorgeous, clean, spacious, well appointed and with plenty of room for large groups. The two master bedrooms with en-suite were amazing (one on the 1st floor, the other on 2nd) along with the king and queen bedrooms on the second floor. The third floor bunk room with 12 twin beds and a large TV was the perfect space for some of our moms that wanted to spread out a bit. And then there's the basement bedroom with twin beds and privacy. Beds were all super comfy and sheets/linens/towels were soft and plentiful. And the cute thing is that every bedroom is adorned with the name of a local Nantucket beach - which is helpful with a large group. We loved hanging in the living room on the comfy leather sofa that fit about 10 of us and loved the fireplace after a chilly Christmas stroll downtown. The kitchen is well appointed and we made big buffet breakfasts both days of our stay using the provided platters, pots, pans, baking sheets and kitchen utensils. It was easy to get UBERs and cabs to/from downtown and it was only a 10 min ride. We didn't venture further than that however having been to Nantucket prior, I can attest that it's in a centrally located area. Stephanie, Thank you again for your hospitality. We had the BEST time and you were always a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely rent your beautiful house again, hopefully soon! Best, Sue The Marshfield "Christmas Stroll" Moms"

Perfect home for a large/multifamily group!

We have rented a few different homes in Naushop over the years because we have young kids and like the mid-island, 1-way cul-de-sac neighborhood with access to a pool and tennis/pickleball courts. This time we were traveling with 3 families and multiple kids ranging in age from 8 to 15 so finding an affordable house that could accommodate everyone was a tough find. But this home was perfect! I also liked that it's tucked in the back of Naushop rather than adjacent to the busy road as sometimes you can hear traffic/trucks in those homes.We had 2 teen boys that loved sleeping in the basement room, and a bunch of kids who loved being together in the large trundle room! 3 couples each had their own room and there was one leftover for any overflow (if kids from the trundle room wanted a break etc). The 1st floor had a nice open feel with a large table and an island. The kids loved backing up to the pool/playground too! The house was stocked with beach towels and chairs. The homeowner, Stephanie, was so accommodating and available whenever we had questions. Very laid back and easy!

Beautiful house & roomy for a big group

It turns out that the "Children's Paradise" is also a perfect house to rent for a group of adults to spend a friends weekend together! The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and had just been spruced up with fresh paint before our arrival. The first floor has a nice open kitchen, living room, and dining room area which is great for a big group to all hang out, along with the options of a comfy porch and a patio out back. The bedroom situation was perfect for our group of 14, which is super difficult to find when looking to rent. The Naushop location was only a few minutes' drive from town and mid-island stores. Additionally, Stephanie was an incredible host to work with. Easy, fast, and clear communication before, during, and after the stay. We hope to be back some day!
