Nantucket Beach House - private beach

Right on the beach. Our deck is 110 feet from the bluff. You can watch the ocean from the house. 4 Queen bedroom, 3 bath beach house with private beach on the South Shore of Nantucket (Madequecham Valley) provides maximum privacy in an area of few houses surrounded by open and protected land reached by dirt road.

Private beach steps are only 110 feet from the house, along a pretty path. PS VRBO's map is wrong. VRBO map seems to indicate we are a mile from the beach, and says it's a 7 minute drive, but that's incorrect. Our house sits on the bluff overlooking the beach and ocean. We think VRBO is incorrectly pegging "beach" to the public beach nearby.

The spacious, light-filled, open floor plan hosts a modern kitchen, LR, and DR with fantastic views of the ocean. The DR opens to a very large, open deck overlooking the ocean, with two outdoor dining areas (one seats 10, the other seats 4), sitting areas, and a hammock.

Master BR suite on 2nd floor has a private bathroom and office area, plus two private decks offering sweeping views of the ocean, moors, sunrise, and sunset. All 4 bedrooms have Queen beds with new, organic mattresses, new sheets, new duvet covers. One BR opens to large front deck overlooking the ocean.

DR has new farmhouse dining room table and chairs. LR has newly upholstered furniture (please be careful not to spill on it, as we love the new patterns and they're hard to replace). LR has Satellite TV. Kitchen has a new (June 2022) refrigerator and washer-dryer; new (Aug. 2020) gas range, new tools, new cutting boards, new dinnerware, new flatware, new steak knives, new glasses, etc. Outdoor shower. New Weber charcoal grill (September 2021). Linens, beach towels provided.

Tenants may use owner's beach umbrellas, deck umbrella, boogie boards, and paddleboards if careful. Tenants will be charged replacement cost if they break our belongings. Tenants are also welcome to bring their own beach equipment.

Full unobstructed sky allows incredible nighttime star-gazing!

If you want peace, privacy, a gorgeous beach, and a natural setting, this is ideal. If you are hoping to be walking distance to shopping, then you might prefer to rent in town. If you aren't familiar with Nantucket, please realize that Nantucket is a rural community. It's not a hip urban setting. For example, half of Nantucket roads are dirt roads (including ours) and they can be bumpy. It's not a place where you call an Uber to go to bar-hopping. It is a place where you can rent bicycles to ride to an outdoor brewery with live music, surrounded by farmland.
