About this property

"Seaking" is the perfect home for your Nantucket vacation offering privacy, a relaxed and stylish atmosphere and convenience. The home has central air conditioning and is located on a premier lot in Naushop, a centrally located community on Nantucket. The lot backs up to Land Bank property, which means there are no homes behind the house, with a twelve foot hedge on one side and a natural to weather twelve foot fence on the other. Lush green grass, a garden and charming shed with flower box complete the private backyard. Renting in this neighborhood entitles tenants to use the community pool and tennis courts, which are only a short walk away. Naushop is close to the shuttle bus stop and bike path.

Six beach chairs and beach towels are provided for your convenience.

First Floor: The welcoming open floor plan features newly refurbished pine floors and includes a living room with fireplace, dining room with seating for six, eat-in kitchen and a powder room. You will feel right at home with a tasteful combination of modern beachy lightness and the charm of a Nantucket sea captain’s home. The wide open kitchen area lends itself to fun moments with family and friends, while the private backyard is an oasis for alfresco dining, star gazing and just breathing in that clean Nantucket air.

Second Floor: The master bedroom features a king size bed with an ensuite shower bathroom and a changing area. There are two additional guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. The guest bedrooms share a hall bathroom with a combination tub/shower.

Great house in a beautiful neighborhood

We loved our stay in this house. This was our 4th time visiting Nantucket. The home was clean and well appointed for our family of 5. The back yard with patio was particularly nice as well as the beautiful neighborhood, which was full of Nantucket charm, including heated community pool and pickleball (and tennis) court. The location of the house was great for us - just outside of town which made it easy to enjoy Nantucket’s beautiful beaches as well as all the fun the town has to offer. We hope to return again!

Great location and spacious house!

I recently stayed at this property and had an excellent experience. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was perfect; grocery store nearby, playground, pool, beaches, tennis/pickleball courts, downtown Nantucket. The owner was very responsive and helped with any questions we had along the way. We would highly recommend this house and we would definitely stay here again! We look forward to returning next summer! - Kelly U.

Fun family vacation

We enjoyed a fabulous week in Nantucket. Joan and the caretakers were communicative, kind and accommodating. We loved the setting -- chilling and grilling in the lovely backyard, especially. House was wonderfully and fully appointed, and we enjoyed access to the pool and tennis. Location very central for bike trails and amenities.

Very comfortable home

My husband and 3 kids (6,5, and 3) stayed in this home for a week and it was wonderful. They’ve got everything you need- beach chairs, towels, grill. We appreciated the comfortable living room furniture and the amenities in the community. Really hoping to stay again!!

Perfect location for a family vacation

Seaking was the perfect spot for a family vacation. The home was very comfortable and close to everything on the island. Joan was great to work with leading up to our week and made us feel welcomed in her home. I would recommend Seaking for your next vacation.

We had a lovely stay here in July 2020. Joan is very attentive and accommodating and was a pleasure to interact with. The home is located in a charming neighborhood in Mid-island making everything very easily accessible by car. There are bike trails just off the main road which is great for family adventures. And there’s a lovely backyard for outdoor dining. The house has all the amenities one would want- fully stocked with kitchen items, plenty of towels, 6 beach chairs, etc. Great home for a family vacation!

The perfect home away from home!

The house is very nicely furnished with all the comforts of home. It was plenty of space for our family of 4. We appreciated the new appliances. There are room air conditioners if you need them. We enjoyed the patio and backyard in the mornings and evenings. We played tennis a few times. Of course we went to the beaches, rode our bikes and went into town too. Nantucket is such a beautiful place! We hope to return next year!

Week in ACK

This is our second time staying at this lovey Naushop house - comfortable beds, great living and dining room spaces and proximity to the pool and tennis courts have made this house our choice 2 years running. My only wish is for more kitchen supplies, better knives and plastic wear to help with packing lunch for the beach coolers - other than that, this place has worked great for our family!

My Favorite Place

I love the island on Nantucket!! It’s absolutely beautiful!! Renting this home made our stay even more perfect. It was just the right size for our family of 6. It is in a lovely, quiet, family neighborhood. The amenities offered like the community pool and tennis courts provided hours of fun to our vacation. The home itself provides a clean, lovely and cozy atmosphere. We even used the patio which is something we rarely do at our own home. Thank you!!

Good house, great location, very happy

Family of 5 plus a 1+ year old baby and the house was again perfect for us. Naushop is well located on island and has a community pool that is a really great perk for the family. 3br house with great first level floorplan and cozy back yard patio is great. This year the owners included beach chairs, which was a nice improvement. We are return renters and would definitely go back again. Thanks, Joan!

July 4th on Nantucket

Really enjoyed our stay in Naushop over the 4th. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Great to spread out and get out of the craziness of downtown. Would recommend renting a vehicle, as you are fairly isolated. We rented a Jeep from Affordable rentals (a bit of a misnomer), but it was great! House has 5 beach chairs and beach towels, which we used everyday. Driving on Great Point beach was the kids favorite. Uber rides get pricey to town as there is frequent surge pricing. With a vehicle, this is s perfect location to get anywhere on the island! Thanks Joan!!

Nice house, great location.

House was very functional in its floor plan and location, but lacked a bit in its contents. We had to purchase beach towels and chairs, kitchen gadgets, and basic bar ware that were not included. Pretty skimpy amenities, especially in kitchen. Very poor master bathroom lighting. Also upgraded barstools would be a nice add.

Great house, great neighborhood, not far from everything

We stayed at Joan and Gary's house for a week in July with in-laws and an infant, and it was fantastic. The house is very cozy and everything came as advertised. Large bedrooms, spacious kitchen / eating space, awesome backyard with patio, etc. Beautiful quiet neighborhood with pool access, quick drive to town, and not far from the beaches. We would certainly stay here again (try to!) and would recommend it to friends. Thank you very much! -C&B

About the host

Hosted by Joan Galon King

Gary and I have a shared a deep love of Nantucket for a very long time, and after finally purchasing our Nantucket home, we were able to live on the island year-round for five years, which was a dream come true.

Professionally, Gary designs and builds custom outdoor living spaces, pools and spas, and I am a non-profit executive. We currently split our time between Nantucket and New Jersey. In our spare time, we pursue our passions of music and memory keeping. Gary is an accomplished musician, songwriter and producer and I am an avid scrapbooker and crafter.

We love Nantucket for its incredible beauty - there is truly no place like it - but what really makes it "home" to us are the amazing relationships we have built there.

Why they chose this property

If you have never spent time on Nantucket, you are about to find your new happy place. If you know Nantucket, then we're sure it already is your happy place! Gary, our son Edward, and I have a long history with Nantucket. We were married on the island and our son was baptized here. And songwriter that he is, Gary has written many songs about the island. It just seems to get into your soul.

Our home on Nantucket is our happiest of places, as we find it to be the perfect retreat. We think you'll agree.

Nantucket is rich with history, and we have included a nod to its seafaring past in our home with antique furnishings and artwork that captures the mood. We've balanced this with lots of light and airy beachy vibes that add a relaxed elegance to the space.

Outdoor living is a favorite here in our very private backyard. With no homes behind us, we are fortunate to have one of the premier lots in the Naushop community.

What makes this property unique

As mentioned, we feel that our backyard is an oasis. We are just a half block away from the community pool and tennis courts but also enjoy a very private and quite backyard. The convenience of the bike path and shuttle bus stop at the entrance to the community means that you can opt not to drive to every location. Many people do bring their car over so that they can easily go to the beach or do grocery shopping, but you really can get around without one.
