About this property

3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house 1 1/2 Blocks From Main Street, one block from harbor.

You will enjoy this 1750 house, only one and a half blocks away from the cobblestones of lower Main Street. Very cozy for a small family! The house is well equipped with appliances, washer/dryer, central air, large flat screen TV, outdoor shower with two shower heads out back. We just finished renovating! It's got one parking space (though we feel it's not necessary to bring a car). The address is 17 Washington St. The house is set between the Handlebar Café (coffee shop with great cinnamon muffins ) and the Nantucket Artist's Association. All you could hope for with shops, restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops and NRTA bus station/stops all a very short and lovely walk (1 minute).

Live within a very short walk to Nantucket town and harbor! We have just installed a new kitchen counter with farmhouse sink and new floors this past Fall. Note, the three fireplaces look great with candles in them… But are not operational for fires. Most of the floors are antique wide board pine.
Lastly, we urge our guests purchase outside travel insurance that covers trip cancellations due to dangerous travel conditions from bad weather since we are on an island subject to wind and high seas. John Hancock, Axa Assistance and IMG offer such policies.

Wonderful stay in the center of Nantucket

We had family visiting from Australia and wanted to show them why we loved Nantucket - this property was the perfect base to do so.Well located and appointed cottage with plenty of space to relax. The property is well appointed for all you need during your stay.The hosts Sam and Kerstin had good communication and check in (and departure) was very straight forward. Would definitely recommend!!

Perfect location and home

You truly cannot get a better location. It is right downtown and within walking distance to just about everything you need. We stayed with our family including two kids and had the easiest time getting to and from activities. One suggestion- if you are coming with little kid who are staying in the bunk bed room I would suggest reserving a baby gate for the back staircase as it is right outside of their room- definitely helped ease my mind about late night bathroom trips. Sam and Kerstin were also the best hosts- super communicative and sweet. Will absolutely stay here again next time we’re in Nantucket!

Off Season Visit

My family stayed this past weekend and had a fantastic time. The home is so unique and in a great location in town. The restaurant/cafe suggestions were perfect and easy to get to being right in the heart of town. The Wave transportation bus station was right across the street making it easy to get all around the island for free!! We can’t wait to come back!

Location is amazing

Great spot for a getaway weekend. Location is perfectly close to town. But just far enough away so it’s quiet. Nice little coffee shop steps away. No need for a car. 10 min walk from Steamship and 5 from Hy-line and stop n shop. Would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful accommodations for a frigid weekend

Perfect location in close walking distance to town and the ferry. The house is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and thoughtfully restored. The kitchen had everything we needed which was great. We came during a historically cold weekend and enjoyed the gas fireplaces! I would definitely come back- highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Sam & Kerstin Pierpont

Host profile image
We bought this house because it was next door to our cottage.

Why they chose this property

This house has a wonderful location...not only right in town and a short walk to everything, but it's also right next door to other property we own, so it's easy to manage. We recommend coming without a car because most everything is within a short walk. When you want to travel to other parts of the island, we recommend the $2 clean buses that stop right across the street or the taxis which also form a waiting line a block away. My wife's favorite part of the morning is walking right next door to the coffee shop for cinnamon muffins and coffee. We think you'll like it!

What makes this property unique

...the charm of 1750 with modern conveniences...all within a block or two of town and the harbor. you can even walk from the hy-line ferry dock with your bags. Walk home after a wonderful dinner or drinks.
