Beautiful house, great location!

We had a fantastic time in Nantucket. The house is close to town but also in a quiet neighborhood, so everything was super accessible. The yard gave us great space to be outside, and everything about the house was high quality and comfortable.

Family vacay

Great for our family of 5. 3 adult (children in 20’s) comfortable in upstairs 3 rooms with bathroom and parents downstairs . Plenty of space to play games or relax on first floor. Great porches, front and back! Most comfortable porch swings ever. Would have given 5 stars if beach chairs, umbrella, cooler , and tp were provided. Otherwise a very lovely stay in a beautiful home.

Fabulous stay in a beautiful and cozy home

We came to Nantucket for a family gathering and this house was absolutely perfect. The amenities were great, plenty of room and the house had character (exactly what you want when you come to Nantucket). The location is walkable to town, the beaches and pretty much any main area you would want to be in. Our host was responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay again!

Sweet house with great outdoor amenities

You can’t go wrong on Nantucket and being closer to town was a bonus. We were comfortable as a party of five. More than that would mean playing musical chairs given the layout. The photos are much better than the reality. Great, functional kitchen. Owner should provide more basics given the hefty price point. Bring toilet paper? Give me a break.

Perfect Nantucket house

Absolutely loved Southern Sass! The location is unbeatable and the house is even better in person. There is ample outdoor space and an awesome front porch. We loved the proximity to town, outdoor shower, multiple bedrooms and beautiful decor. We hope to return soon!

Great house in perfect location.

This property is just as adorable as pictured - does not disappoint. It had everything we needed, and is perfectly located for walking or biking to town or the beach. The outside deck is lovely for coffee in the mornings, and the rooftop is amazing at sunset. We had no issues while we were there, but the owner was accessible and helpful throughout the booking process and stay. We look forward to returning next year!

Great location and lovely house!

We stayed here with our two kids, ages 1 and 4, as well as our parents for a few days. The location could not have been better for having small children. A quick walk to children’s beach or jetties and a short walk to downtown! The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The kids loved the yard and the porch swings!

Nantucket Weekend

We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous home in the Brant Point neighborhood. The house is immaculate, updated and beautifully furnished. It is walking distance from all the restaurants and shops that we visited, and just down the street from the White Elephant hotel where we hosted our daughter's wedding. The house is a short walk and easy drive to the ferries too. The outside is landscaped to perfection with a deck right off the kitchen and a brand new outside shower. We could not recommend this special property more highly.

Fantastic location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future. Great location at the end of a quiet side street in Brant Point and abutting a wetland area offers really nice views back towards town. With three younger children, we really value the location and ease of biking to Jetties beach, children's beach and town.

Depends on what you’re looking for!

Location for this house is great but the house itself is looking and is a bit tired In need of some tlc...absentee ownership appears to be a problem. Good house if you are there for a party weekend but to bring family and stay it was a bit lacking .. we had some issues, some of which were addressed but some were not.. never had electricity in downstairs bathroom which was a bummer...porch/outside furniture tired and rusty.. beach chairs extremely tired and rusty.. nice outdoor shower.. we will Look elsewhere for next year.. hope owners put some time and energy into the home for what they are charging...it could be really great!

I went down with a group of girlfriends for a long weekend. The house was so cute and a short 10-15 minute walk to down town. We did have to buy a few supplies for the house such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap and garbage bags. I would be prepared to either buy supplies there or bring them with you if you can. Otherwise everything was perfect

overall great spot in a great location!

southern sass was a wonderful place for our family to gather. plenty of room for sleeping and nice to have an extra 1/2 bath on main level. kitchen was tight on space but well equipped. not much cabinet space available for food storage, but manageable using island counter...sitting spaces were adequate, although we weren't all home at the same time much!!..dining table easily accommodated 8. we wished there was seating on the front porch..a few rockers would be perfect...no seats at all there. and only thing we felt was missing were dish towels/hand towels and a broom. we had a few small issues during our stay that were immediately remedied. very prompt property management. the outdoor shower was terrific! the location in terms of walking to jetties and childrens beach, and to town, was ideal...only one parking spot in front of house but other spots available down the street at early point in season..not sure how that would be later on as things get busier..but we enjoyed our stay here!

Perfect Nantucket vacation Rental!

The house was better in person then online! The house was beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds, a fully loaded kitchen, gas grill, two wonderful decks, a patio, widows walk with ocean views, etc! Since this house abuts a conservation area, the nights and mornings are very peaceful. You can walk to Town, beaches and your favorite restaurants within minutes. We will be back for sure!

Wonderful Home!

We recently stayed at this home with another family. The property was beautifully updated and had everything that we needed for our stay. It is centrally located close to Jetties and walkable to Town and Children's Beach. The private street was wonderful for the kids to ride their bikes. The back deck was perfect for eating outside. We had a few small things that needed fixing and the owner sent the property manager over by the next day. He was very responsive and easy to deal with. I'd definitely rent the property again.

Super Friendly and Helpful - A pleasure!

When looking for a house during Christmas stroll weekend we contacted many listings on HomeAway. The owner the most responsive out of any inquiry we sent out and quick to answer all of our questions. Before arrival she sent us a list of recommendations and reminding us to make dinner reservations before arrival on the island. I highly recommend booking this house for your Nantucket vacation and working with the owner!

Perfect ACK Getaway

We stayed at Southern Sass for a long weekend in September (22-26). The home was perfect for us. We had 7 adults, although it would easily accommodate 10. We loved the location...just a quick walk to town, Jetties Beach and The Galley. We rented bikes and never needed a car. The outdoor shower was amazing, and the large open living room, family room space with the kitchen island was just what we needed for our gathering! The owner is very attentive and mailed us a tip sheet with details on the house as well as local ideas for food etc. The kitchen was well equipped, although we ate out at night. We loved it and we will be back!
