Perfect in-town cottage for family of 3

My husband, teenage son and I loved staying at this cottage. We stayed at the owner's other property earlier this summer when we had more people with us. The experience and property were so great we tried the smaller cottage this time and were equally impressed. Location to town and beach is ideal, cleanliness was perfect. It all worked very well for us including the outdoor dining table and outside shower. I highly recommend this property for a family of 3.

Nantucket Cottage

Lovely cottage in the absolute perfect location. Short 10 minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Nice outdoor shower, bonfire pit and outdoor space including a bbq to grill up the fresh caught bluefish. Our family bikes the entire island from here, quick access to most bike paths.

Great property !

We had an amazing week in Nantucket. House was just what we needed - perfect for the 3 of us. (note : second bedroom is tiny with only a twin bed. Main house on property is much bigger if you have more than 5 people) Location was perfect, In town but tucked on a side street with huge yard and lots of outdoors seating.. We felt like we were further out in countryside. We rode bikes everywhere.! Definetly will stay there next summer. Thank you Deirdre❤️

Historic Cottage -

There were 4 of us and this historic little cottage met our needs. We had privacy on the dead end street and easy access to town. The cottage itself is small but charming. It fit our needs just fine. Lovely outdoor area to sit and relax, play games and grill. The owner was very flexible & easily accessible. Our kids enjoyed the outdoor showers. Thank you for a great time at your cozy cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Deirdre Hamling

My family and I are excited to share this lovely, recently restored, historic cottage with you and your family. Built by Althea Macy in 1850-the Macy’s are one of the founding families of Nantucket. The home is cozy and private while still located in the heart of the downtown historic district.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for quiet and privacy, lots of space and parking but still in the heart of the downtown historic area then look no more. The featured cottage is next door to our other three bedroom listing, 6 Lowell Place-perfect family compound opportunity to share a HUGE property with mom & Dad or in-laws or a couples retreat. Also lends itself beautifully to a celebration or wedding venue with plenty of room to entertain under a large tent. 10 minute walk down historic cobbled Main Street amongst the gorgeous Whaling Mansions to shops, harbor and delectable restaurants.
