About this property

Luxury Rose Covered Cottage

NOTE: BEFORE SUBMITTING A BOOKING REQUEST IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO SEND US AN INQUIRY WITH ALL YOUR QUESTIONS SO YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE PERFECT PROPERTY FOR YOU BEFORE YOU BOOK IT!!

Above dunes and beach roses. Romantic and charming, totally rebuilt in the 1980s and fully updated (skylight/vaulted ceilings/recessed lights). Beautifully furnished with quality antiques, lovely bed linens. 3 minute walk to the beach, perfect for honeymooners/couples sleeps 3. Gorgeous perennial gardens. A very photogenic property...Featured in Cape Cod Life Magazine, on postcards, on the cover of the local Nantucket newspaper, and a picture of OUR cottage was one of 12 large scenes featured in a calendar for Cape Cod and the Islands. We have some of the best competitive prices for the Island and the best off season rates. Long weekends available in early and late off-season.

Also note that because our property is away from Nantucket Town proper you will need to think about transportation to our house particularly in the off-season. As a result, you should figure out transportation before booking our property. While there is shuttlebus service that stops one block from our house (check with Nantucket Regional Transit Authority for precise dates of operation and confirm the bus makes stops in Sconset for the dates and times you are interested in) renting a car, Uber, bikes, or cabs are also options and you should contact the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce to get better information on using any of these modes of transportation. Also note that bus service outside of the higher season months runs less frequently so check out the schedule if you are planning on using this mode of transportation to make sure it works out with your plans. You can also bring your car over on the Steamship out of Hyannis but you must make reservations with the Nantucket/Marthas Vineyard Steamship Authority. If you plan on using the Steamship Authority to bring your car over, make sure you have checked with them regarding availability as well as cost before booking our cottage.

Note for weeks where we require a 7 day minimum stay (Memorial Day to October) (we book Saturday to Saturday) we do not book additional days beyond the 7 day minimum unless your request is for an additional 7 days (in other words we don't accept 10 day stays for example) during this time frame.

Because we are located on an Island, travel to the Island may be impacted by weather or mechanical issues if you are traveling by boat or plane. This is something we have no control over. If this is a concern of yours, it is our understanding that VRBO offers trip insurance. Although we are not familiar with the terms of this insurance product and if it would cover travel related issues, it is something you may want to check on when thinking about booking a trip to Nantucket.

Cleaning cost ranges from $100 to $200 depending upon condition cottage is in when cleaners arrive! Please call for hints on how to reduce cleaning costs if you are interested.

The key to the cottage is kept in a lockbox. Instructions for using the lockbox will be provided to you prior to your visit.

Rates are periodically changed to reflect market conditions.

Great couple’s getaway
I booked this cottage last minute for my parents as the house we rented wasn’t big enough for our extended family. They loved having their own hideaway with an ocean view where grandkids could visit or they could escape for a nap. It’s only a few lots away from the Summerhouse and walking distance to everything including the beach! Would definitely rent again.

Darling Cottage
This simple, quaint cottage on the oceanside gave us the special Nantucket getaway we hoped. Listening to the ocean and the birdsong every, entering the beach just a short walk from the cottage, strolling to town an even closer walk from the front door, and the ambience of off season peacefulness were...just right. Thank you, Craig.

The best winter stay!
My daughter and I spent a lovely Christmas Stroll weekend in this cottage. We were looking for a quiet place to stay for the weekend, and Craig was extremely gracious in helping us check in and out. From the gorgeous wood interior and yellow bubble glass window on the door, to the beautiful Christmas tree at the rotary in Siasconset, and to the well-stocked accommodations in the beautifully-decorated cottage, we could not have had a better stay. Definitely looking to make this an annual tradition, thank you Craig!

Proper beach house
Our second year visiting was just as nice as our first. Incredible location, looking down to the ocean from the living room. Two adirondack chairs in the front yard make for the perfect spot to enjoy coffee and watch the sunrise over the water each morning. House is very small, no square footage is wasted, so keep that in mind. Great place to sleep, enjoy ocean air, shower, change and head out the door. Proper beach house. Will definitely visit again.

Little piece of heaven
We had a lovely stay. The bed was so comfortable, and the cottage had everything you need to stay put for a few days which is nice considering not a single store or restaurant or cafe is open at this time in Sconset. The owner was super fast to respond to any inquiries we had. Truly appreciate his communication as our schedules shifted and we had a few questions. It’s a very small cottage but it’s adorable, and comfortable, made us feel like we went back in time to a British fairytale. Would love to come back when the roses are in bloom.

Great cottage for couples
This cottage is right in the heart of Sconset. We woke up to the ocean shining right in front of us. Seals followed us as we walked the Bluff walk off Front street. The bus stop that took you all over the island was just two houses down. The public accesses to the beach were also two houses from either direction. While we were off season, Sconset was quiet and mostly closed, we still enjoyed the raw beauty of this side of the island. Bikes can be delivered and we started a long bike ride at Sankaty Lighthouse. The best food is just 15 minutes to town on the bus. The cottage is small, but has everything you need. A comfortable bed, an apartment size washer and dryer, a full size fridge and oven/stove, and a dishwasher. The living room/dining is also tiny, but it suited our needs. When we had an issue or question, Craig responded within minutes.

Thanksgiving on Nantucket
We were looking for a little something different this Thanksgiving, and found the private escape here on Nantucket. The cottage was the sweetest place for our holiday away. The space was so quaint and made us feel like we were part of the history of the island. It was incredibly clean and had everything that we needed to manage on our own with many of the restaurants, shops and smaller markets close for the season. It is truly steps away from the beach with the view of the sunrise right through the window in the morning. There’s no better way to enjoy a cup of coffee! Our host was very prompt in all communication and more than helpful accommodating with questions, and last-minute asks on our end. We can’t thank him enough for helping to make our trip truly special. We definitely had so many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We were thankful for the guidance to look at the transportation options. We rented a car for this trip and cannot stress enough that during the off-season, it makes a world of difference to have your own vehicle if staying out in Sconset. Look out Craig, we’re already thinking about coming back next year!

The perfect island getaway!
If you’re looking for a quiet stay away from the Main Street crowds, Barque is for you. My husband and I spent Thanksgiving weekend in the cottage and loved every minute of it. We usually stay closer to town when we visit the island, but opted for a quieter and more relaxed vibe for this trip. The location was perfect for watching the seals and the sun rise (a 1 minute walk to the beach) and for star gazing—the sky was so clear at night! While the cottage is small, we never felt cramped or like we were starving for space to move around. I really appreciated how welcoming and warm the space felt. We would definitely stay again and hope to in the future!!

Sconset is Heaven...Great Little House
If you are not familiar with Nantucket, know that staying in Sconset is a decision to stay on the "slower side" of the island. There is a little market with basic grocery supplies and ice cream, a yummy sandwich shop (Claudette's), and an upscale "bookstore" in Sonset (doesn't sell books but has very fashionable women's clothing, home decor, and nice liquor selection). You should definitely get a turkey salad sandwich with the works from Claudette's while you are in town. Also, within a few hundred steps of this home, is the Summer House Bistro with live music each night, as well as a waterfront tent for dining. Upscale dining is right down the street at Chanticleer. That said, we LOVE Sconset. It is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of town (especially if you visit in the summer months). It's the most beautiful place on the island, in my opinion, and the most beautiful place in the US! Whatever you do, don't miss the bluff walk ending at Sankaty Head Light. We did this daily. Be prepared, though, to spend 25 minutes or so to get to the popular North Shore beaches (Steps, Jetties, etc). Also, dining in town is going to take some planning because it is a 25 minute drive if you hit traffic. All this being said, the house is in an unbeatable location if you choose to stay in Sconset. You will be able to walk to the beach access and playground within 5 minutes (just over the Sundial bridge). Walk to the beautiful Chanticleer restaurant and the Sconset Casino for tennis in less than 5 minutes. The house has all the basics including paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, and a bar of soap for the shower. The kitchen had all the basic necessities, but we found it easier to make a simple meal of charcuterie on the nights we dined in. We found a deck of cards to play. You should bring a game of Scrabble for a rainy day :) Also, there were several beach chairs and a beach umbrella in good condition. The owner was very accommodating! Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us for the week. I can't wait to return to Sconset!

Comfy cottage, beautifully decorated, with lovely ocean view.
Everything was perfect except for whoever supplies the linens had lovely towels there but no washcloths and no hand towels, but it was really early in the season and I assumed it was just an oversight by the service. The towels and the linens were very nice quality. I have stayed there before in the past and there were plenty of wash cloths. So no big deal. I hope to return next year, if not sooner! Great, peaceful cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Campbell

Host profile image
The owners, Craig and Gretchen Campbell, reside in Marblehead, Massachusetts when not out on Nantucket. We are both environmental attorneys living in a 1652 antique home near the ocean on an historic street called Gingerbread Hill! While Gretchen is originally from Marblehead, Craig is a displaced Texan who is still pondering how he ended up with two houses near the ocean and not on 50 acres in Montana near a trout stream!

Why they chose this property

When we were first married we honeymooned on Nantucket. Of course we had to see Siasconset (Sconset) during our visit and we fell in love with the charming small rose-covered cottages Sconset is famous for. Years later while vacationing on the Island, we were walking in downtown Nantucket in the pouring rain when we stumbled into a local realtors office to dry out. One thing lead to another and the next thing we knew we were the proud owners of "Barque"! (Believe me it turned out to be a lot more complicated than it sounds!) This is our only vacation home and we treat it as such with many personal touches unlike many of the generic rental properties on the island. Unlike most of these charming small cottages in Sconset, ours was totally rebuilt in the 1980s and has modern amenities not found in many of the other cottages in this area.

What makes this property unique

There are two paths down to the beach from our cottage ensuring a three minute walk in either direction to the beach. Although our yard is small, we have lovely perennial gardens for you to enjoy when the season permits. While the house is small as well, it is beautifully decorated with original paintings, antique oriental rugs, china trade accents, custom barn board cabinets in the kitchen and faux burl hand painted cabinets and woodwork in the bathroom. The slipcover on the queen size sleeper sofa in the living area (Pottery Barn) changes periodically.
