About this property
Historic 2BR Nantucket Cottage | Walk to Downtown
Summary:
Welcome to your private Nantucket cottage, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat for up to 4 guests, just steps from downtown. Part of one of Nantucket's oldest properties dating to circa 1755, this character-rich cottage offers a warm, lived-in feel with mostly carpeted living spaces, a cozy layout, and 1 off-street parking spot included. This listing is for the cottage house only. The main house on the property is rented separately and may be occupied by another group during your stay.
The Space:

Living spaces and bedrooms are mostly carpeted, adding to the warm, classic Nantucket character of the home. The cottage has its own small outdoor area, partially enclosed by a fence that separates it from the main house.

Please note that the cottage house is one of two rental structures located on the property. Each structure is private with a dedicated outdoor space enclosed by a fence. The main house is rented separately from the cottage house and may or may not be occupied by another group during your stay.
Unfortunately this home is not ADA accessible.
The Neighborhood:
Our home is located just a brisk walk from downtown Nantucket; great restaurants and shops are just a few steps away! The shoreline is close by, with the popular Jetties Beach just a 10 minute bike ride through town. Our home’s location is perfect for those looking to get the best of both worlds; the hustle and bustle of the community center and the reprieve of an island getaway.
Beaver is located in the Historic District Near downtown, the home is about 2500-3000 steps to downtown
Getting Around:
Want to explore? We’ve got you covered. Downtown Nantucket is a brisk walk away, but if you’re looking to adventure to other parts of the island, there are several different transportation options near us. There are two bike rentals within a 15 minute walk from our home; Young’s Bicycle Shop and Sandy Pedals Bikes. But, if cycling isn’t your speed, Affordable Rentals is also a 15 minute walk away in Downtown. Just remember to bike safely and wear a helmet!
