Great cottage in Natucket
The cottage was perfect for our vacation. There was ample parking, plenty of room, and everything was as advertised. We cooked in every night and were happy to find a kitchen with plenty of cookware and utensils. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable. The perfect Nantucket cottage and would stay again!

Lovely stay
We were so charmed by this summer home. Myself, my husband, our daughter and our cavapoo Jack 🐶 felt right at home here. Greeted by the pretty flower boxes in front, our stay was very nice. The place was spotless, which I absolutely have to have! Comfortable beds and lots of room, we’d love to come back someday soon. Thanks Mark for your hospitality !

Oasis in a friendly neightborhood
We utilized the beach path every day of our visit - the ocean water temp was in the mid/high 60's. The Wave is running free this year. It turned out it was easier to NOT use our car! The house had all the accommodations we could desire and zero shortcomings. Thank you to our host!!

Special Place in our happy place
This was our third stay at Special Place. Mark is an amazing host, the house had everything we needed for a wonderful Nantucket week. Most important to us , the location is just perfect, in beautiful Madaket , steps from bike path and minutes to beautiful beaches , in a quiet neighborhood, with a lovely very private deck -perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktail. A week is never enough :)

7 Ridge Lane
Location is super. The beach path to 40th Pole is right there; the kids and I walked it while their parents could drive right onto it. The neighborhood was safe for them to ride their bikes throughout and they loved having access to the tennis courts. Having the bus stop right at the end of the road was so convenient. Mark was right to call it “Happy Place”.

The Perfect Beach House
This was the perfect house for our family's Nantucket vacation. Great location, plenty of room, beautiful views! Walk/bike to the beach. Easy access to bike path, which we used a lot. Plenty of beach supplies - no need to bring any. Frequent visits by deer and rabbits too. Magical. Thw house was very clean and well kept. We hope to return in the future.

Special House
Stocked with everything you need for a summer stay in Nantucket. Had air units in each room, cleaning and laundry supplies, paper towels and toilet paper, tons of bikes, balls, tennis rackets, boogie boards and other beach toys, beach towels and chairs, ice chests... the house was a little cluttery and mildewy, but overall was a nice place to stay in a very quiet neighborhood with a bus stop close by if you don't have a car. Took us about 15-20 minutes to walk to 40th pole beach from the house which we thought was the best beach on the island. The water was playable for kids there instead of most of the beaches where big waves crash right on the shore and the sand was soft and you can drive your 4X4 vehicle onto the beach there as well so it's easy to unload beach gear.
