Old fashioned but cozy

We very much enjoyed our stay at Beary Quaint. The house was a perfect size for my family as we were in town for a family wedding. The location was perfect and was walking distance to town and Steps beach. And the house was just as pictured/described!

Beary Quaint is a lovely place to stay in Nantucket and full of local charm. The house is perfect for a large family or group. There are lots of thoughtful touches throughout the home - plenty of extra blankets, pillows, beach towels, many extra things you may need. The home is full of Nantucket charm and a very welcoming place to stay. Very nice patio and backyard too. Also, the location of this house cannot be beat. You are within walking distance to Nantucket's downtown area - lots of shops and restaurants - and an easy walk from a few beaches. Driving a car and parking around the island can be tricky so being in a central location like this made it easy. Highly recommend Beary Quaint.

Beary Quaint is a charming, well located home within walking distance of everything! We walked to Jetties Beach, Steps Beach, all over town, to Brant Point Lighthouse, to the old sites (Jethro Coffin house, Old Gaol, Windmill, Maria Mitchell house and museum, Maria Mitchell Aquarium)... we saw it all! We drove to Madaket and out to Great Point (with the day pass). John and Cynthia have created a charming home with puzzles, games, beach towels, a fully outfitted kitchen, and just about everything you could need. We drank our coffee and tea on the front porch rocking chairs each morning. We sat together on the picnic table in the back yard to eat dinner. John called us to make sure we were taken care of during our stay. We would highly recommend Beary Quaint!

Perfect spot to vacation! We appreciated the short 12 min walk to town, close by to our favorite beach (Steps) and we really enjoyed the backyard for meals! Plenty of bath and beach towels. Very toddler friendly!

The property was beautiful! Enough room for our family of eight. Close to the main shops. The owners were so understanding during COVID and the shutdowns and let us move our date. Especially since our stay there was for my son’s wedding. I highly recommend staying here.

We loved staying here! In town for a wedding and had plenty of room for all of us. Short walk to town.

Very pleasant! This home provided a great space to lodge for 9 of us. Perfect layout inside and out. A+ weekend for the whole family in Nantucket.

The home was like a home away from home..warm and well equipped for meals. Family was there for family wedding at Westmoor Farms. Restaurants where we had lunch or dinner were amazing. A car was rented for exploring the island - we were happy with the parking space behind the home and all enjoyed the home and island experience. There were 11 adults & 3 children and not a complaint was heard. Definitely would recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Beary Quaint! The house is spacious, comfortable and fully stocked with amenities. We loved taking the surrey to the nearby beach and to Something Natural, to get fresh bread and sandwiches. It is an easy walk to town as well. There are many touches which make it great for families: a fully stocked kitchen, large dining room table, large table on the sunny patio, outdoor grill for barbecues, toys and games, and even a teddy bear on every bed to take home! We can't wait to go back to Beary Quaint- it's the best way to enjoy Nantucket!

Our family of 4 loves staying at Beary Quaint, and there is plenty of space for extended family or friends to stay with us too with everyone having their own bedroom and lots of common spaces to spread out. The house is clean and is well stocked so that you can pack lightly. There are even high chairs and pack n plays for young children. The playroom full of books and toys is a favorite spot for my kids to explore. Another thing that sets Beary Quaint apart is all the outdoor space -- swing on the front porch, lounge on the back deck, and there's plenty of space for kids to play in the fenced in backyard, including a tree swing. There are also bats and balls for wiffle ball (my son's favorite). The location is perfect - tucked in a quiet neighborhood but still a close walk to town or the bike path. Just around the corner is a great lunch spot - Something Natural. The owners are attentive and it truly feels like home. Thanks for another great stay. We can't wait to come back.

Very charming, clean home with everything you could possibly need. Well equipped modern kitchen. Great place for large families. Plenty of room to spread out and porches front and back. Great location. Easy to town and beaches. Owner was very helpful and accommodating.

Nice, relaxing place to stay with extended family. Room to spread out in the backyard and the great front porch. Comfortable, well equipped, good interaction with owners. The availability of bikes and access to bike paths was a big plus.

Beary Quaint was great for my family. It fit everyone very comfortably and had all the amenities we could possibly need. The surrey was the best amenity - it was such a novel item! The house was clean and the location perfect. Just a short ride (bikes included!) or walk into town. John called to check in and make sure everything was good, which it was. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend!

When we visit Nantucket, we love to stay at Beary Quaint. It’s a true treasure and we’ve made many family memories here. There’s plenty of space for extended family and the house is clean, comfortable, and has everything you could possibly need. It is especially convenient for families with young children as there are high chairs and pack and plays and so many toys, games and books to keep kids of all ages entertained (adults too!). There’s even a surrey and our toddler grandson had a blast riding in it on the quaint streets of the neighborhood. We loved relaxing in the swing and rockers on the front porch and playing in the large backyard. The neighborhood is quiet, and it’s also close to town. We walked there everyday (sometimes twice) to shop or enjoy a ice cream treat from the Juice Bar. It's an easy walk to many fine places. We enjoyed delicious sandwiches from Something Natural, right around the corner! The owners take great care of the house and it really feels like home away from home. We appreciate and feel that care and you can see it in family photos taken through the years that display the various renovations. They are displayed in the comfy playroom/den. Our grandson still talks about all the fun memories at Beary Quaint and we do too. The house has fine details (like the wooden whale coffee table that first attracted me to the house) and a finely carved mantel for the fireplace. Three bathrooms, great baths and showers! Two washers and dryers! It's quaint with the modern comforts needed. All communication with the owners is clear and if needed, caretaking help is readily available. This is a five star historic home away from home. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We look forward to get a chance to return.

Beary Quaint is just right to combine extended families..we had ten adults, one six year old and two babies under six months and it was perfect...walking distance to town was a Huge plus.loved the yard and visiting cousins( another house) loved the Swing under the apple tree! Well appointed/ pots , dishes, flatware etc.AND the 2 washer and dryers made exiting easier! Till next time!

The location of this house is perfect to enjoy the town and nearby beach (a 10-minute walk), and the other beaches (a 20 - 30 minute bike ride). Through some miscommunication, the house had not been cleaned by our scheduled arrival time, but owners quickly remedied the situation, and housekeeping had it ready for us within a couple of hours. The kitchen was very well equipped, backyard was lovely, and the surrey was fun, though a couple of the bikes were not serviceable. House has a mustiness to it (one of our party has asthma and was somewhat affected by this), but seems generally clean otherwise, if a little dated. Owners' presence was significantly felt by many, many post-it notes all over the house with helpful instructions (which included a note about bees from 2011, notes re date of purchase of many items of furniture - ?? - and replacement costs etc). We were surprised the lease required us to launder, dry, fold, and re-stock all bed linens, which would have required us to get out of bed at 4 am to have time before catching our ferry. Thankfully, the owners were flexible about this and let us do what most rentals do, by placing our linens in washer before departing. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the 4th of July festivities on Main Street, American Seasons restaurant, and renting jeeps, mopeds, etc. It was a great trip.

We recently stayed at Beary Quaint for a girls weekend get away. The house was absolutely perfect for the 8 of us and met every single one of our needs. It was clean and well kept. In addition the house is truly set up to accommodate large groups of people. Whether we were sitting around the large patio table, large dining room table or relaxing in the living room, we were incredibly comfortable! There is also plenty of space for sleeping and relaxing! The fact that there are three bathrooms, and several washers and dryers was also an extra bonus with a larger group! And the extra kitchen space was great especially for our big Sunday brunch we cooked and enjoyed as a group. The house is in walking distance to the Main Street downtown area which was essential to us and something we took advantage to all weekend. We also took a small stroll in the surrey. There were a few times in which we did take taxi's to places that were not downtown, but the house was incredibly accessible for taxi's. However, we did stay during what is considered the off season so during season, the buses would be incredibly accessible as a way of transport too! We had such an amazing weekend and it was the perfect spot! I would definitely look into renting Beary Quaint again in the future! As the bride to be put it "Best weekend ever! Perfect setting for a perfect weekend!"

The Beary Quaint was perfect for our ladies weekend away! Plenty of room for 10 of us to sleep comfortably and a large living room for us all to hang out in by the fire. The house was clean and well maintained and the upgraded bathrooms and kitchen were great. To top it off, the owners were kind enough to let 2 of the women stay am extra night when the ferries got cancelled due to bad weather. We hope to return to the Beary Quaint!

8 adults (4 couples) and the associated 5 kids ages 5 and down. This was the perfect house for our family to get together for Thanksgiving. Setup well for kids with 2 highchairs, port-a-cribs and a toy room. Easy walk to town for strolling around. The surrey bike just topped it off! We'll do it again sometime for sure!

I stayed at Beary Quaint in April with 10 other women ranging in ages from 30-60. We stayed for Daffodil Weekend, and had an absolute ball! Can NOT wait to do it again! The house is VERY comfortable, plenty of room to hang out, relax, chat, and get ready for an evening out. With 11 women, you can imagine the shower/bathroom congestion you would have when we're all trying to get pretty for a night out! The sleeping accomodations were great, the backyard was beautiful, and we enjoyed our short walks into town for dinner and shopping! The surrey bike was a riot, and we had a great time taking turns pedaling around the neighborhood, plus we got exercise! None of us had any issues, and we are ALL looking forward to doing in again EVERY year!! Thanks for a GREAT time Beary Quaint!!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Beary Quaint on Nantucket. The house has a great location with a short walk to town and the beach. We loved how the house has historical beauty and all of the amenities you want for a relaxed beach vacation. Having 3 full baths is great and we loved the outdoor shower. One of our favorite Nantucket memories is watching sunsets from the rocking chairs on the front porch. I would definitely recommend this property if you are considering vacationing on Nantucket. It's great for big groups, with lots of space and all the details to make you feel at home.
