Classic Beautiful Nantucket Cottage
Perfectly situated classic Nantucket home! My husband, tween, myself and dog enjoyed the beautiful home. I Loved watching the waves and planes from the widow’s walk. Owners very receptive and even sent welcome guide about cottage and provided tips and suggestions. We loved Nantucket bake shop Boston cream and 3-way scoop ice cream. The bicycles, beach chairs and games very fun. The 5 minute walk to the secluded beach by Surfside was amazing and beautiful!

Serene Visit
The location and home were spectacular. The yard was beautiful, the kitchen outfitted and the beach a short walk away. There were plenty of outdoor chairs, towels and bikes for all parties. The communication was great. The deck was our favorite place to listen to the ocean day and night. This is a dog friendly property so there was some dog hair from a previous visitor on the couches and bedding but nothing we couldn't work around. We very much hope to stay again sometime.

Surfside sanctuary
Best equipped house in Nantucket we have ever seen with excellent bikes, games, kitchen supplies, widow walk and yard. It is a very easy walk to one of the best private beach areas on the island. It is centrally located with easy access to all areas of the island. The pre-arrival information was as thorough as possible. The property was very well maintained

A summer sanctuary!
This property was the perfect spot for my family to stay while we were in town celebrating a family wedding. The location could not be beat, the property was so private, and the house was so clean with plenty of space for everyone! Plus, the owners were absolutely wonderful. We hope to come back soon!!

About the host

Hosted by Chip Newton

Host profile image
Our family has owned the property since the house was built in the early 1970s, and has been our vacation destination ever since. My brother and I became the owners a few years ago, and we're excited to make it available for rent!

Why they chose this property

One of the original properties on Pequot Street, the house is ideally located for easy beach access and trips into town. The house has been renovated and expanded over the years so that it is the perfect vacation spot for you and your family.

What makes this property unique

This cottage holds a special place in our hearts. Many fond childhood memories were made there, and we remain friends to this day with our old summertime buddies. We love the location... it's so easy to get to the beach without a car, and it's a short drive or bike ride into town for world-class shopping and restaurants. We're sure your family will love it, too!
