Amelia's house is the perfect property for a Nantucket stay. Close to downtown, plenty of space, and a gorgeous patio area, the house has everything you could ask for.
Location was key when finding a home and this did not disappoint. Short walk to town. Spacious, clean, owners were extremely responsive. Will def book this home again if theyâll have us! Thank you!
Stayed here for first time this summer and it was great. Clean house, good location, owner was very communicative via texts for any questions that arose.
We had a great time staying at Ameliaâs place. It was clean, comfortable and well-decorated. We loved being able to walk into town every morning. Having the parking spot was a plus for us too.
We really enjoyed our stay - a wonderful, charming house that is very comfortable and lovely to visit. Commodious kitchen, very comfortable beds, many nice places to sit, talk, and relax. Excellent location as well, with very nice walks and easy walk to town. Thank you!
Our first trip to Nantucket and very much enjoyed staying at this property. Comfortable, spacious, clean and ideally located. Amelia was a pleasure to interact with.
We rented this house for a week for the whole family - my wife and four kids. The house was clean and has lots of charm. It's about a 10-minute walk to the grocery store and to all of the shopping and other activities in town. We made this walk daily and it was no big deal. Although we ate out a lot, we did cook in a couple of nights, including using the outdoor grill. Everything was really easy. We love the house and would stay again!
We came for the winter stroll. The house is a great location, easy walk into town. Clean, and the beds were very comfy. Plenty of common spaces to hang out, host was easy to access and helpful.
The property was super clean and comfortable! The stairs could be a challenge (due to the age of the house). The bathrooms were great for 3 of us but would have been uncomfortable for a larger group. There are basically no bathrooms downstairs as the toilet room on the first floor is smaller than an airplane restroom. I would stay at this house again with the number of people we had on our trip. The property manager was great! I had planned on using the washer and dryer but it was not in working order while we were there.
Loved this sweet, pretty and classic cottage on a beautiful street. It is an easy walk to town (we had 3 kids) but the street itself is quiet. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. We didnât cook during our stay but the kitchen had everything you could need as well.
Beautiful house and perfectly equipped, although the classic old stairs might intimidate some. An actual parking space and nice yard. Close to heart of town but quiet street.
16 Pleasant was a beautiful home and a great location to walk to town, many restaurants and several different beaches easily. It was very easy to reach Amelia with questions and we appreciated being able to leave our luggage when arriving on island before check in. Perfect family house for our vacation.
We had a wonderful time and Nantucket. Our Accommodations were just as described. Quick lovely walk to town. Our hosts were quick to respond and quick to solve any issues we had. We look forward to staying again sometime in the future âŠthank you for a wonderful stay
The location of Ameliaâs home was perfect for our trip during Christmas Stroll. Everyone loved the stay and was very comfortable. Amelia was so helpful answering questions that arose quickly. Thanks for an incredibly memorable trip!
This was an adorable place to stay while we visited Nantucket. It was a quick walk to so much downtown and made is easy to get around. I would stay here again!
