Another great stay at Shooting Star!!

This was my second time staying at the amazing Shooting Star! This is an amazing house in a quiet neighborhood, just a five minute walk from Madaket Beach and Millies. The home is kept immaculate and the owners are very nice and communicative. Willdefinitely be back again!

Madaket family vacation

Fantastic location Walkable to beach and Millie’s for dinner or just an ice cream. The house was quite spacious for all seven of us. Well stocked kitchen. We loved the outdoor shower. Big beautiful windows and a great deck out front. We did bring a car to make travel easy around the island. Would love to go here again!

Madakat Retreat

We have been to Nantucket multiple times and we have always stayed in town. This trywe decided to try something different and stay out in Madakat. We loved it. Lots of outdoor private space easy walk to the beach and Millie’s. We enjoyed walking to the beach at night for sunsets and coffee in the morning. Life is slower than being in town and yet town is just an easy drive away. House has all the amenities you need.

💫

We are so grateful to have stayed in this very special home! Shooting Star is perfectly charming and incredibly comfortable. We wanted for nothing. The beach was a beautiful 5 minute walk down the road. We loved walking to Millie’s for dinner or just ice cream. While the weather was a bit overcast and rainy for some of our stay, it was so cozy to snuggle up on the couch with a good book. This was the most relaxing vacation thus far and we cannot wait to return. Many thanks to Susanna and her family!!

Perfect Getaway!

Our party had great experiences through VRBO previously but nothing compared to this house - super cozy and immaculately clean! The house had everything and more for a week vacation! Location absolutely perfect in Madaket - stunning and quiet area and very close to the beach - we watched incredible sunsets every single day! Susanna was very responsive and accommodating! We all had incredible time and we can't wait to return to the Shooting Star next year!

This Madaket beach house exceeded all our expectations

Shooting Star is a large spacious home 3 to 4 minutes walk from the beach. The house is well presented, scrupulously clean and stocked with everything you could need and more. The outdoor shower was such a bonus for our family of 6 adults travelling with a toddler. Susanna was easy to contact and dealt with any queries immediately. We all loved our stay & would recommend this amazing property to anyone.

Fell in love with Madaket

Our stay at Shooting Star was amazing! While we’ve visited Nantucket many times before, this was our first time staying in Madaket and it definitely won’t be our last. The house was gorgeous and only a minutes walk to the beach. It had all sorts of chairs, umbrellas and beach gear so we didn’t need to bring our own. The house was light, bright and breezy and perfectly fit my family of four, my parents and sister. So many cozy places to play games or take naps. Loved sitting out on the decks and loved the quiet neighborhood. Also enjoyed a daily 10 mile bike ride on the bike path which is right around the corner. The perfect spot for a week’s worth of family memories!

We stayed with our 9, 6 and 4 year old and had an amazing week. Great house! Everything we needed—chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, flashlight, etc. 5 minutes to beach. 10 minutes to Millie’s. We loved it!

A space for everyone

Great house in that there are multiple gathering places, or places to escape each other and read a book or nap. Madaket is nice as it is away from the bustle of downtown, but not too far away in that a car ride is easy enough. Walk down to the nearby beach is <5 min; bike ride to Millie's Market is quick enough too.
