Our first vacation on Nantucket was in 1984 when our sons were just 1 and 4. Until we purchased our first home on Nantucket in 1996 we rented different homes from nearly one end of the island to the other. But we always gravitated back to Brant Point. You just cannot find a better location for a vacation on Nantucket for the convenience of being able to walk to shops, restaurants, beaches and the ferry, not to mention the 'Juice Bar' for that homemade ice cream. When we sold that first home we owned on the island in 2005 we bought our new home just 5 houses down the street.
We just could not leave the island or Brant Point.
