About this property

Spacious, Family-Friendly Home in Quiet Location Near Everything

This family home offers a unique blend of luxury, space, convenience, and privacy. Relax in the perfect location—near everything, but away from the island bustle on a quiet road abutting the Nantucket State Forest.

The property is perfect for extended families, with loads of indoor and outdoor space and comfortable sleeping for 10.

THE HOUSE: DESIGNED FOR RELAXATION

On the first floor, an open layout offers tons of light and space to spread out. The front room is a great place to gather for family fun, with a TV, a wide selection of games and puzzles, and a large game table. A separate living room features post-and-beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, lots of comfortable seating, and a second TV with an eclectic collection of DVDs.

The well-appointed kitchen is designed for cooking, with a Frigidaire gas range and oven, a side-by-side LG refrigerator, a wine fridge, two sinks, and a Bosch dishwasher. You’ll also find a wide range of tools and appliances, including a blender, ice cream maker, waffle iron, 12-cup coffee maker, teakettle, lobster pots, and more. A kitchen island invites family time during meal prep, while a separate dining area seats 8–10.

The main bedroom features a sumptuous king bed, a walk-in closet, a cozy loveseat for reading, and a small flat-screen TV. Large windows bring in morning light, and a French door opens to the back porch and garden. The luxurious main bath offers a whirlpool tub, twin sinks, and a huge dual shower with deluxe rain shower heads.

An airy second bedroom on the first floor offers twin beds, great light, and plenty of closet space. Also on the first floor is a private powder room and a separate, well-stocked laundry room.

The second floor offers two spacious, light-filled bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with two queen beds. Another full bath includes a shower, bath, and twin sinks. Also upstairs is a charming reading nook featuring a sunny window seat and shelves with books for all ages.

You’ll really feel that you’re on vacation in this home. It’s designed for comfort and relaxation, with spacious rooms, cozy seating, comfy beds, and plenty of separate areas for rest, reading, conversation, and family fun. A choice of temperature controls--including screened windows throughout, ceiling fans, and a new heat pump/A/C system-- lets you select what works for you while helping to protect the environment.

THE GROUNDS: FUN IN THE SUN (OR SHADE)

Outside you'll find an inviting wraparound porch that's perfect for morning coffee or wine and cheese in the evening. There's seating all around, including a cushioned sofa and chairs, tables, and lounge chairs for relaxing in the sun or shade.

The large private yard has trees full of birdsong, flowering bushes, and lots of space for playing or sunning. A teak patio table with umbrella is great for outdoor dining, and the deluxe gas grill is big enough to cook for everyone. A fully enclosed outdoor cedar shower is the perfect way to end a day at the beach or in town.

The house comes with a full complement of beach equipment, including towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, and sand toys, so you don't have to buy things or drag them from home. You'll also find outdoor games like paddle ball and frisbee.

A WONDERFUL CENTRAL LOCATION

The property's Surfside location is central to beaches, shops, biking, and hiking. Take the bike path or back roads to the south shore beaches, just 1.4 miles away. The adjacent Nantucket State Forest is great for walking; you can also try out the forest's public 18-hole disc golf course.

Right down the street is the Hinsdale Park & Discovery Playground, a multi-use area with a great accessible playground. Also nearby is The Creeks Preserve, a lovely park that overlooks the Creeks salt marsh and Nantucket Harbor.

Lots of hidden-gem shops and cafes are within easy walking distance, including the Nantucket Meat and Fish Market, Espresso to Go, the Nantucket Bake Shop, Pip & Anchor, and some of the island's best family-owned restaurants. To go further afield, you can catch the WAVE bus line just two blocks away to get to pretty much anywhere on the island.

With the forest and loads of amenities right here, town less than two miles away, and beaches even closer, this private getaway has it all!

P.S. SUPERIOR CLEANING AT NO EXTRA CHARGE

The house is professionally cleaned by one of the island's premier firms, left sparkling clean and disinfected for each new rental group. This cost is included in the rental fee, so you won't find surprise cleaning charges.

Wonderful visit!

Our second time staying here, and just as great as the last! We had a multigenerational family, including an infant and toddler, and had a wonderful time- enjoyed the porch and yard, quick bike rides to Surfside and Miacomet, easy walk to Nantucket Fish and Meat, and Nantucket in general. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great mid-island location!

Conveniently located, this house is a wonderful choice as a home base and a hang out spot. From the house, it is easy to go downtown, visit several beaches, and grab food at markets/restaurants. Our teenagers enjoyed hanging out in the large living room. The adults enjoyed hanging out in the beautiful backyard. Truly a fabulous place for an amazing getaway!

Nantucket getaway

Out family spends a week on Nantucket each Summer. We enjoyed staying at this woodsy home. It was close to the discovery playground, the forest and downtown. The house had lots for the kids to do and the owner was easy to communicate with. We recommend this home to anyone looking for a nice retreat. We had a wonderful week and look forward in returning.

Graduation party

This was a fantastic property. Beautiful, spacious house equipped with everything we needed. Backed up to lovely wooded area with fun frisbee golf course. Easy bikeride to southern beaches or to town. Easy to Lyft/Uber as well. We loved being there before the Memorial Day crowds and the weather did not disappoint- cool but sunny! So fun to be back on the island. Thank you for a great stay!

Nantucket trip!

We had a wonderful stay in Nantucket! We stayed at a beautiful home near Surfside beach. The home had everything we needed and more! Close enough to do biking to town and beaches. The home accommodates lots of people with plenty of room to spread out. The young adult boys enjoyed the outdoor shower! We were grateful for all the supplies for the beach too. The home also provided so many options for photos to create lifetime memories for our family!! Highly recommend!

We had an incredible stay and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The property was impeccably clean, with every room spotless and clearly well cared for. The layout was perfect for our needs, especially the open-plan family room and kitchen, which became our favorite space. It was spacious enough for everyone to relax, read, play games or cook together. The view of the forest from the back garden added such a peaceful, calming feel to the whole experience.The property manager was a pleasure to deal with. Easy to reach, responsive and helpful with every question we had. We encountered zero issues during our stay, which made it all the more relaxing. Highly recommend this home and would absolutely return.

Delightful stay!

Our stay at this charming Nantucket home was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the property's immaculate condition and warmth. The kitchen was a standout feature. It was perfectly equipped with appliances, plenty of counter space and all the utensils and cookware we needed. The entire home was spotless, which we deeply appreciated. The living areas were cozy and inviting. The yard was lovely. We spent several mornings enjoying our coffee outdoors. This Nantucket home provided everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We hope to return!!!!!

Perfect

I've been lucky to spend the last 20 summer vacations on Nantucket and have stayed in houses all over the island. This house was impressively stocked with every essential- from beach towels to kitchen needs. It was clear that extreme care was put into setting up the house for guests. Our family of 6 had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our down time. 3 bathrooms were key. Thank you!

Nantucket Reunion

A group of seven gals came to Nantucket nine years ago and stayed for a week. After nine years and nine children later we decided to have a reunion this summer. We had so much fun. The house was perfect for our needs. We greatly appreciated the air conditioners in each bedroom. It was a warm week. Definitely used the beach towels, chairs and umbrellas that are also provided. The house is nice and roomy so plenty of room for everyone. We also appreciated the quiet neighborhood. Went for a couple of walks in the morning and evening on the disc golf course right behind the house. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer time. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
