Very quaint house. Excellent location. We are allowed a late checkout time. It was a hug favor since we have young children and elderly. Will definitely stay there again.
Staying in this historic house in the historic district of Nantucket was just what we wanted. It was in walking distance to almost everything we wanted to see. We had no need for a car because there are taxis and large vans to take us the few places that were not in walking distance.
This is a wonderful home for an active family. We could walk to boat trips, a grocery store, and museums, bike, drive, or take the bus to several beaches, and come home to eat around the big table. This is highly recommended for folks who enjoy the historical ambiance of the island.
The house is beautiful because it hasn't been gutted and turned into a modern mess: it's an old Nantucket house with tons of charm. The owner was really helpful and so was his caretaker. The cleaning woman was very nice.
Our group had an incredible time during our stay. The hosts were very informative and the check in/check out process was seamless. The house is in a perfect location close to town, but very quiet as well. The set up of the house worked great with many different bedrooms and bathrooms split up across the group. Thanks again to Michael and Harry - we will definitely be back!
A group of friends came to celebrate for a long weekend. The location could not have been better; close enough to walk to town, but tucked away enough to be peaceful. Harry was flexible with check-in/out and very responsive with any questions or needs. The garden/backyard was wonderful!
Everything was fantastic. You can't beat the location of the property!
Only thing could be improved is the third floor bed sits on wood slats and is really uncomfortable.
Thank you for letting us rent your home.
The property is nice. Would have liked it better if bathrooms were updated. Claw tub showers did not work for us and the walk in shower was very, very small. Plenty of rooms for sleeping and very nice backyard. Location is very close to town which is nice.
This house is magical. We had such a lovely stay at this historic property for a girlsâ weekend on Nantucket. The location in town with close proximity to the beach and ferry is so convenient. Canât wait to come bACK!
We couldnât have asked for a better located house for our MDW trip to Nantucket. Very walkable to central locations and it was so spacious with enough sleeping space and bathrooms for all of us. Communication was great and there wasnât a single hitch all weekend. We already canât wait to come back!
This house is perfectly rustic, in a quiet spot just a block or two from the heart of town. Kitchen has been updated but mostly everything else is old and quaint, as it should be. Only one of the main bedrooms is âen suiteâ with an attached bath but the rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Itâs all we needed!
The house worked great for us. The location was perfect, within walking distance of most everything we did. There was room for all of us and it was very comfortable.
Our host was absolutely amazing! The house was beautiful and in a perfect location. It had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend. We will definitely be coming back!
The location couldnât be better. The place had a rustic charm that was comfortable, not fancy. The kitchen was well equipped. There was plenty of room for 10 people to sit at the dining table and to also spread out throughout the house when we needed space. There were a few things weâd recommend to improve: one of the king beds had a terrible mattress that sagged in the middle, one of the twin beds collapsed, and the dryer was broken for most of our stay. But overall we were very happy with the property and with Harry as host. He did his best to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He even let us check in a day early because of the hurricane barreling up the coast! We wouldnât hesitate to stay there again.
We stayed for a long weekend girls trip
The location is perfect- could not be more convenient to walk everywhere! Great for those in our group whose first time it was to Nantucket.
There were many bathrooms and bedrooms so it was ideal for a large group
The backyard was a great place to hang out
The cleaners were not done for about 1.5 hr after check in which wasnât ideal for being able to settle in but the house was very clean once they finished
My family purchased this house in 1970 and we grew up here in the summers. My parents wanted a home in town so they could relax and not have to drive their five children everywhere during their vacation. We all have wonderful memories of fishing for blue fish with my father, walking to children's beach for a morning swim and taking our morning walk, with a cup of coffee, to Brant Point or the Jetties Beach
This home has been modestly renovated but is definitely not a 'showcase' home. It is an old Nantucket home, cozy, but with the original clawfoot bath tubs that the house had in 1970. While we have remodeled the kitchen and furniture over the years, it is a wonderful home to relax, curl up with a good book, sit out back in the garden and read or talk. The house has new TV, WiFi, bedding, bath and beach towels, Webber gas grill. Wonderful memories are made in this home.
Only a few short blocks from the center of town, 4 Academy Lane is located on a lovely cobble stone street on Academy Hill, facing the Jared Coffin house and the harbor. It is a wonderful location for walking into town for dinner, a morning coffee and paper, or running in after dinner to make the 7:30 move at the Dreamland. Children's beach is a short walk away. Walking distance to ferrys.
