The cottage was clean and comfortable as reported. The location is excellent, we walked to town, and all around. I would call the house a cottage as it is relatively small and the decor etc are a little dated but cute. The one draw back was that it was like 90+ degrees and there is no AC. We opened all the windows and there were plenty of window fans available and overhead fans, and while it did cool down some at night, we were still hot and there really wasn't anything to do to get some relief. This was an extreme weather situation, and I would think normaly it would be fine, but for this particular week, it was a bit uncomfortable.

It was an amazing location but the cleanliness was definitely lacking as the sheets and duvet were dirty. We were given 1.5 toilet paper rolls for the entire 5 days as well for 4 people which was not nearly enough

This cottage is very small. It was a good size for three people, but may not be great for tall guests. We are all around 5'4" and nearly hit ourselves on the ceiling fan, and found the living room furniture a bit small. If you're planning to be outside much of the time, it won't be a problem. Furnishings are outdated and could use refreshing but everything seemed very clean- no issues there.
Home is an easy walk into town if you're up for that. My mom who traveled w/ me walks w/ a cane. Home was easy to access with only a few stairs if you come in the back. We found it easy in April to get Ubers to pick us up.

I love the areas clean water to drink right out of the tap. Quiet and bright stars at night.
I walked to the Town center in 15 minutes

I loved the proximity to town. Very clean, tidy. Decor is kind of "retro" but very cute, bright. Not great outdoor space, but most outdoor time was spent exploring the island.

The listing is completely accurate! We loved them little cottage for our weekend in ACK for a wedding. It is nothing fancy at all. But, it served the purpose.
My only suggestion to the owners would be to remove some of their “decorations” aka clutter through out the house. Lots of old fashioned decorative “stuff” everywhere and when you are in such a small home, it gets a bit tight. There is also old storage boxes on top of the armoire in bedroom - they should be removed. That is good space the guests could utilize.

The place was perfect for our group of four. It looks exactly how the pictures presented in the app. The house was a bit weathered and while we were aware there was no A.C. there could have been stronger and/ or more fans to circulate air throughout the house. Overall great experience nonetheless!

The location of the home is walking distance to town. The house is very outdated but clean and tidy. The house is managed by VRBO so if you have questions about the property you do not receive immediate responses and several times they didn’t even respond back at all.

Pros - walking distance to town or mid-island stores, very clean, quiet street, comfortable beds
Cons - very outdated décor, 1 chair springs broken, no regular cable tv, bathroom floor needs to be replaced
I know Nantucket is expensive to visit, but I was expecting better for the price paid. & just to be aware, there are only about 5 parking spots on the entire street, which might be an issue for some people in the summer.

Quaint cottage an easy mile walk from downtown. Quiet neighborhood, and close to restaurants and shopping.
Bathroom shower could use an upgrade.
Instructions to operate the TV would have been helpful and appreciated. Would stay here again.

We love Nantucket and being there. The cottage was clean and the kitchen and living area was comfortable. Access to Netflix and a washer and dryer was a plus. A outside yard was nice to have.

This property needs a big redo. It looks as if your great grandmother walked out of her home in the 50’s and nothing changed, vinyl table cloth and everything. It was very clean but the beds were horrendous, steps were rotting and no room for four to sit in the living room.
The location was nice and the neighbors were kind. It does offer a small washer and dryer but the house is just bad especially for the price.

This place is just as you see in the photos. There's no dishwasher, no beach towels, no beach umbrella or chairs, and the bath towels could use an update.
That said, it's centrally located, and VERY CLEAN, which I appreciated. The decor and facilities are dated, but functional, and the sitting room is pleasant.
Maybe I'd liken it to an Embassy Suites - it's FINE, but nothing special or memorable. And probably cleaner than an Embassy Suites.

The house was quite run down. There were a lot of ants. Some screens were torn. We put in two inquiries and the property owners never got back with us.

The house was the perfect size for our group of 4. Quick walk to the supermarket and some good restaurants, and the walk to town was just 15-20 minutes. Bring your own toilet paper though, they only supplied 1 roll. Towel quality and quantity also could use an upgrade.

When arriving at property it was obvious that remodeling was underway. The stairs where pulled away from property very dangerous. The front of building was half shingles. Contractor showed up 2nd day to push stairs in.3rd day the towns building inspector showed up and issued a order for work without permit. Stated no one should occupy until resolved. I called manager twice. Was rebated a couple hundred dollars. I was expecting more considering citation and conditions. Contact on phone was nice

The property was easily accessible from Town and a quick Uber ride to the brewery. It was clean and the photos from the listing were up to date. Easy check in. Good place to stay on the island if you’re looking for something affordable and convenient location to the ferry.
