About this property

Lux Surfside w/ Pool. Steps to Best Beach. Dogs Welcome Great Week Available

MAJOR REMODEL AND EXPANSION, led by Nantucket's top architecture firm, BPC Architects. WE HAVE A COMFORTABLE, LUXURIOUS, FUN, FAMILY-FRIENDLY, MODERN BEACH HOUSE WITH A BEAUTIFUL POOL AND CABANA. The six decks and porches, blue stone patios and the cabana make the outdoor living spaces as inviting and luxurious as the all fresh indoor spaces.

Top of the line kitchen with SubZero, Dacor and Asko appliances, custom cabinets and state of the art Dekton stone countertops. All four bedrooms in the main house have en suite Carrera marble bathrooms with rain head and hand held showers. State of the Art Wifi, best equipment for maximum speed and users -- you won't miss a Zoom call or a Netflix download ever.

The swimming pool is a 40 by 16 foot salt-water heated pool with stairs across one end for easy entry and tanning. The cabana includes a five seat bar with Scottsman ice machine, stainless steel slide top bar refrigerator, sink, margarita machine and a four burner Weber grill. Also in the cabana is a great room, play loft, two outdoor showers with Wondershower fixtures, bathroom, and a second LG high-efficiency washer/dryer for towels. Nanny suite above the carriage house features a king bed and 40 inch flat screen TV. Near the cabana is gas fire pit to take the edge off the evening breezes surrounded by Adirondack chairs. Along with the pool and cabana, there's a large, flat and green grassy yard for young and old to enjoy. The back yard is fenced. The entire property is very private with mature privet hedges and trees as well as hydrangeas everywhere you look.

Central air conditioning throughout plus three high-end and totally silent Haiku ceiling fans keep your family cool. The study off the living room comes in handy for those times on vacation when you need to make a conference call or just a moment away. The study has a desk, highest speed wi-fi and ink jet printer. There's also a game table for puzzles or cards and a deck overlooking the pool. Four wifi extenders provide internet coverage across the entire property. Sonos sound system with 22 speakers in house, decks and cabana allows music for every occasion.

In addition to the double outdoor shower in the cabana, there is a private outdoor Master shower grotto with Speakman sprayers accessed directly from the Master bath. That same deck holds two chaise lounges in a very private side yard for escape and relaxation. The Master bath has Waterworks fixtures in the sink and shower and white marble.

Of course for rainy days, there are seven large flat screen Samsung HD TVs with Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV. The loft in the house is equipped with an Xbox One, a day bed and trundle. The loft in the cabana has two single mattresses for sleeping or getting away and reading a book.

Ocean views from the upper living floor. You can hear the ocean at night in all four spacious bedrooms. The gardens bloom throughout the summer with hundreds of blue hydrangea, climbing roses and decorative grasses.

Six mahogany outdoor decks and covered porches offer a great place to relax in the ocean breeze and grill your steak from Bartlett's Farm. Star-gazing at night is amazing with clarity like no place else. Easy bike, walk or drive to town and close to Surfside bus stop.

Saturday to Saturday rentals in prime season. Multi-week rentals will be given priority. Shorter stays in fall permitted.

Well trained dogs welcomed.

50th birthday celebration

We had the most amazing stay at this home - it is beautiful, well-equipped, and the location to the beach is perfect! The house has so many outdoor (decks, pool, cabana) and indoor spaces to hang out. Bikes, beach chairs, rafts, towels, etc were available for use. The hosts were incredibly responsive and informative before/during our stay. It felt like home away from home (only so much better) and none of us wanted to leave!

Spectacular Home

Spent 4-5 days with family and friends. Incredible location in Surfside. Beautiful beach is a very short walk. House has lovely pool (not great for laps as there are stairs at one end), gorgeous fenced yard including gas fire pit and cabana with amazing wet bar with fridge and ice maker. Open plan kitchen and living area upstairs with multiple porches. Only criticism was regarding certain cookware that was lacking. Could have used a couple of nice frying pans, garlic press, simple lemon squeezer and an easier cupboard to access in the corner. Great WiFi, though technical problem with it on the last day. Owner very responsive to any questions.

Great stay on Surfside

We all loved the property! The standard of everything is extremely high and the house has all that you could possibly want, including a great location with just a short walk to Surfside beach which the kids (and dog!) loved. Kent made the whole process very easy and was extremely attentive. Our favorite rental in Nantucket and we look forward to returning!

New, fun, great location.

This home is one of the best rentals we've seen in Nantucket. Still brand new and finishing touches are plenty. A quick, easy walk to the beach: Stone's Beach for convenience (no lifeguard). Surfside Beach for excitement (and lifeguards). This is a fun house and yard layout. You can easily hear the ocean from the master bedroom and front porches. I would recommend for families with children ages 6 or 7 and up. Our dog was welcome too. Wonderful owners and staff.

Wonderful family home close to the beach

This home is as comfortable as can be with a great yard for my kids to play in, and four bedrooms and baths. We arrived and met Jim the caretaker, a New Englander who has lived on the island for more than 20 years now, and a welcome letter with a bottle of the owners wine. the house has the living space upstairs, with gorgeous ocean views and the bedrooms downstairs, We sat on the deck watching the sunset, enjoying our wine and waited for our dinner to warm. The kitchen is modern with all the conveniences of home. We started a fire as the air cooled at nightfall and enjoyed a meal with the crackle of a fire. The sunset lingered for quite a while and then the stars came out! what an incredible show. I cant wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Kent Knutson

Host profile image
We purchased this house in Surfside in Spring 2013 and did a top to bottom renovation down to the studs and expansion. The kids have never known another summer beach place other than Nantucket. Summer without Nantucket just isn't summer. No one ever wants to go back to the real world after a couple weeks at Gladsheim.

Why they chose this property

There's no better beaches on Nantucket than Surfside, Fisherman's and Nobadeer which are all very close. The kids walk or bike to the beach with their boogie boards. Close to ACK Surf School as well. It's easy to take our labradors to the beach to run in the morning. We love our sunny days at the beach, and s'mores by the fire pit at sunset. There's nothing better than listening to the waves at night. Surfside gives privacy, close beaches and a quick drive to town for shopping and restaurants. Lots of unique spaces through the property for family togetherness with the ability to find a quiet spot to get away as well. We love sitting on the pool deck with a glass of wine and cheeses from Barlett's Farm watching the kids and their friends play in the pool -- or catching a nap on the couch in the cabana in the afternoon.

What makes this property unique

Very private property, five houses away from uncrowded beaches at the end of a sandy lane. Top of the line finishes, a new saltwater pool and all the amenities beautifully maintained to make time on Nantucket a great memory for years and years.
