Walk to Town! Bike or Bus to Beach! Charming Cottage on Quiet, Private Lane

Located on a private lane just a short walk to town and easy access to bike paths and beaches, our property is a quintessential Nantucket getaway. Our property consists of two cottages (Cottage A, Leeward and Cottage B, Windward), duplex style, with separate entrances and decks and a large shared yard (see listing #602380 for Cottage A). There is also a separate studio on the property that the owners use occasionally.

Cottage B (Windward) has two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and main living room with efficient kitchen and living space. Both bedrooms have full size beds. The deck with comfortable outdoor furniture and a Weber gas grill overlooks the large shared, nicely landscaped yard. There is also ample off-street parking. Quality linens included. Beach chairs, beach towels and small cooler bag available for use. Just bring yourself! The cottage is equipped for four (4) guests and that occupancy limit is very strict. If you have questions or concerns, please ask.

If you are traveling with small children, we can help connect you to a local rental company that can provide anything else you might need for your stay. We do not maintain bikes for use by guests but please ask about local rentals!

The kitchen is efficiently updated with an LG refrigerator, compact stove, microwave and a dishwasher, and everything that you would need for a week's getaway is provided. Our Keurig coffeemaker can make a single cup using a pod, or a pot using coffee grounds.

The bathroom features marble floors and tile walls with a modern glass shower surround.

Outside you will find a large professionally landscaped yard and a convenient outdoor shower with on demand hot water and a dressing area for privacy.

While just a short walk to Main Street for shopping and dining along with the harbor area- the cottage is down a secluded lane that is quiet and a great place to relax.

WiFi and a flat screen TV with Cable TV are provided.

There are security cameras located on the end of the Cottage B overlooking the driveway area and on the exterior of Cottage C overlooking the yard immediately in front of that cottage. The cameras are monitored by the hosts. There is a motion-activated light to illuminate the driveway after dark (the light turns on temporarily and then turns off automatically). The walkway is lit by solar-powered landscape lighting and your cottage has an exterior light by the entrance that can be switched on and off from inside the cottage. Please let us know if you have any questions about these features.

We offer a discount for stays of 7 nights or more. Inquire about a monthly rental at reduced rate and no lodging tax (rental period must be more than 31 days).

With such a short season, we have a strict cancellation policy. We recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance to mitigate the risk of disruption due to illness (including COVID), transportation issues, etc. We will try to work with you in the case of extreme circumstances but may not be able to in every situation. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.

Family summer vacation to Nantucket

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely Nantucket property! We were a family of 4 wanting a beautiful trip to Nantucket before our son & daughter leave for college. This cottage is beautifully updated and has every amenity you could want. A brand new grill, beautiful deck, secluded flat backyard, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, and updated kitchen & bath! Air conditioning worked very well too! We so enjoyed our stay and will certainly stay again in the future. Many thanks from us all! Jen & David Offutt

Nice, convenient stay in Nantucket

The property was as advertised. Kendra and Phil were responsive to our needs. The deck and yard is a beautiful oasis to relax and spend time.There were a couple of minor issues that came up. The beach chairs were all broken, Kendra reported that they were not aware and we managed. Also, the gas grill would not light. It was brand new a previously unused . I suspect the gas was empty but Kendra responded quickly with a solution.All in all, I would highly recommend the property, it will give the owners the benefit of the doubt.

Fabulous

We had a fabulous stay. The communication and check-in were seamless, and anything expected of us during our stay was clearly explained. It was the perfect distance from town, close enough to bike and walking paths, and overall a beautiful cottage. We would love to one day come back to Nantucket and stay here again!

Charming cottage tucked away but close to town

We had a great stay. Windward Cottage is nicely appointed, clean and very well stocked. We especially appreciated that it came with beach chairs and beach towels. While on the smaller side, the outdoor deck and table, grill and access to a beautiful outdoor shower made it very enjoyable. It is quiet, set back from the street and is beautifully landscaped. We would definitely stay there again.

The quintessential Nantucket holiday

When we were looking for a property, our daughter was staying at the White elephant but was unable to book us a room due to a convention. The “windward” cottage came up and fit every criteria.We were so pleasantly surprised when we actually got there, and saw how quaint and well maintained it us.

We had a great stay at this cute cottage! It was about a 17 minute walk into town with sidewalks. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful before we got there and the house was stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend, including lands end bedding and bathroom linens (the best!! :) would absolutely recommend this cottage and would absolutely stay here again!

Everything we expected!

We had a great visit here at this little cottage. The pictures were accurate, the process of everything was a breeze, we had a great time. The cottage is so cute and the yard is great! It's not a bad walk to town, either. Everything is really well explained and laid out, so things like recycling weren't an issue.

Home sweet home!

Great location, private and tucked away yet close to town. Well equipped and cozy with lovely deck, landscaped yard and outside shower. Especially nice to have beach chairs and towels. The owners answered questions/concerns promptly. Only one suggestion would be a dresser or bed with drawers(like in the other bedroom) for some added clothes storage (however, there is a washer/dryer, so I'll bring less next time!) Very charming, I hope to return again. Thank you, Kendra and Phil

Wonderful property

Gorgeous landscaping and outdoor deck. All amenities. We walked and ubered to different places for our family wedding venue. Comfortable beds. Well appointed kitchen. Definitely uber to and from seastreak. Shared the duplex with family which made it extra fun. But each unit is set up for privacy. Spotless. Quiet.
