Love Sand, Madaket on the Beach was an absolutely wonderful place to relax, unwind, and enjoy all the beauty of Nantucket. Although it's a little out of the way, it was just what we were looking for as a base to explore deserted beaches, view the daffodils before the crowds arrived for the annual festival, and visit the uncrowded shops in town. The house is beautiful- just as it was pictured on the website, and it's true that we didn't want to leave it most of the time! We hope to be back some day.

This home will not disappoint! It's an adventure just getting to it and such a delight upon arrival! The view of the ocean is spectacular, especially at sunset.
We expected to eat out often, but the kitchen was so well equipped that we cooked and ate at home most of the time.
I had a couple of questions and Karen answered quickly. She had great information to make our visit more enjoyable.
We would love to come back for another visit!

Love Sand is a relaxing & beautifully designed retreat. The views are breathtaking while the sounds of the sea surround the home. You can embrace the mist on the windows as it reminds you of your closeness to the sea. So enjoyable!

This house was in a beautiful location, with a gorgeous view of the ocean and sunsets. It's a very sturdy house, as our first night there was extremely windy and stormy, but from inside you could barely tell. The house was cleaned and well stocked with plenty of kitchen items, paper products, and entertainment. The only thing that was a little tricky, was we did not have a car and getting Uber and Taxis were sometimes tricky, as some drivers did not want to go on the dirt roads. Besides that, everything was lovely!

We had a great time and the house was wonderful. Very short walk to the beach and perfect views. Only recommendation is we arrived after dark and it was very very dark, a motion light outside on porch would be very helpful. We loved cooking in kitchen, everything we needed. Just perfect!

When the property manager said to bring everything with you because you won’t want to leave she was 100% accurate. The house was cozy, comfortable and perfectly laid out. The views were perfection, as was access to the beach. We particularly enjoyed being away from town, yet close enough to drive in and enjoy the shops. Can’t say enough how great the trip and house were and definitely can’t wait to come back!

Perfect fall getaway
The house is wonderful. Views cannot be beat. Comfort was great. Far enough to feel away from everything but just a short drive to town. Would recommend!

Spectacular
This is a beautiful property. Gorgeous location, well stocked kitchen. Comfortable furnishings. I cannot recommend this home more highly. Karen was amazingly accessible but fortunately since we had no issues I did not need to contact her. I look forward to returning.

I rented this home on VRBO for my 43rd birthday. I am a professional at finding the best houses and locations (I am an avid traveler and rent many high-end & expensive houses a year) and really liked this spot on the beach on Nantucket. Karen was pleasant to work with online and answered my many questions regarding the house, rooms, and beds, internet etc. I was so looking forward to this trip. When we arrived to the house, we were drawn to the view of the ocean. Unfortunately, the windows were really dirty and the back door leading to the ocean was broken and had a note taped to the door, not to open it. My friend ended up washing the windows so we could see the ocean. Then that night we were sitting in the kitchen and there were a million bugs/moths/gnats all over the outside of house and walls (and thousands got inside the house through all the sliding glass door screens that had gaping holes). We spent 2+ hours vacuuming the walls and ceilings to get rid of them. This happened 2 nights!! I reached out to Karen and she did have someone come by and spray the outside. Almost all of the windows and screen doors had gaping holes, so I didn't get to enjoy the Master Bedroom balcony overlooking the ocean and watching the sunset as I had hoped. Other issues I had included fruit flies all over the kitchen (I am very neat and clean and didn't have any food out on the counters at all). Karen again had someone come over and put out vinegar. The house wasn't that clean - especially in COVID - there were dead flies on the windowsills, cob webs in every corner of every room. the mattress pad on the Master bed had stains all over it, the internet went out often, had trouble with the cable (I had to use my NetFlix the whole week.) There was only 4 rolls of toilet paper for 5 people for a week!! Also, there wasn't much dish washer detergent so I had to go buy some. As we filled up the dish washer, we discovered there was MOLD in it. The girl who came by to clean the spider webs and bring toilet paper when I asked Karen for more, saw it as well. Then after dealing with all these issues on my vacation and spending hours dealing with them, I was over-charged for the trip and had to spend a few more hours trying to get my money back. For all these issues, I was refunded very little for all my trouble. I would not rent this house again and won't recommend to friends. Not the experience I paid for by any means.

Great place, amazing oceanfront!
Lovesand is a special property that we were lucky enough to stay at for a great family vacation. Karen Thorne was a tremendously helpful and accessible host, she is great to work with! Hope tog eat back to this property again soon.

Sand, Sunsets, Seals...
Love Sand is spectacular, especially if you enjoy privacy and a bit of seclusion, the beach being out of your back door (I counted 150 steps), some of the most amazing sunsets you'll ever see (might be even better than the famed Santorini sunset), and up close visits with seals! The house is comfortable and dual level decks provide awesome spaces to hang out and take in those sunsets. Karen, the property manager, is fantastic: responsive, attentive, and on top of it! We fully intend to come back.

perfect thanksgiving get away
The property is beautiful. You are steps away from the beach and at this time of year, you can walk alone on the beach for hours. Great layout of the kitchen and dining area. The master bedroom has a direct view of the beach and they accept pets. Our Charlie had the best time running and swimming in the ocean.

Beyond
This property was fabulous! We were in need of some serious quiet and restoration and we found it at Love Sand. The location is one of a kind and the house is bright and warm - even during the Nor'easter we experience while were there.
Karen was available and informative and made all our processes incredibly simple.
So sad we hadn't booked two weeks...

Gorgeous location and beautifully updated house
This property was everything we were looking for. It’s very far from town but that’s what we wanted. The house itself is beautiful and updated with a really nice, well-equipped kitchen. There’s even A/C which was nice. The manager was so cooperative and helpful. Our stay couldnt have been better.

ACK as it was meant to be
Great property for those looking for a little seclusion on the island. We generally stay near town, but this trip wanted to be closer to the ocean and further from civilization. This house offered it all. Sandy beach right out the back door (very private, but for the seals), beautiful deck for viewing the stars, and scenic dirt roads in every direction for those who enjoy a morning run. Kitchen was properly stocked with all the necessary utensils, and the WiFi / Direct TV worked perfectly for that one rainy day when we couch surfed. Town, grocery store, and Cisco Brewery are less than 15min Uber ride away, but recommend bringing a car (Jeep) if planning on making frequent runs around the island. Also recommend sleeping with the patio doors open....the waves crashing at night will put you right to sleep. 5-Stars. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks Karen!

Perfect house in secluded location
First walk on the beach right down the driveway revealed a seal just hanging out. Then every day there were more. This was the first time we ever experienced this sight. It was amazing!
The house was comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you may need. Short ride to anywhere on the island you may want to explore.
Karen was great to deal with. She was very accommodating and responsive to our questions.
Overall, a great vacation.

Great House/ Views/ Location
Beautiful Location/ Views. Only 15 min from ferry, beach walk to Millies, but feels nestled away with beach to ourselves. House has everything you would need. Would love to go back.

Wonderful House, Setting & Location
Our entire family loved everything about Love Sand. Location was great! House was perfectly set up and furnished! Karen was wonderful to deal with!
Exactly what we were looking for - a house in a location that affords easy access to town, bike path and beach. One can choose how to spend their vacation - we personally enjoy the solitude of the beach!

We loved Love Sand
My family's stay at Love Sand was great! The house was clean and had beautiful views of the ocean just like the pictures! We often took walks on the beach in the front yard and even had a family bonfire on the sand our last night in Nantucket. Karen was very helpful and accommodating. Can't wait until next year!

Great house, great location!
We had a great stay at Love Sand! We love the Madaket end of the island, and had never stayed on Sheep Pond before. The beach was wonderful, and the house had everything we needed. One week was not long enough!

Fantastic vacation spot!
Perfect location, beautiful beach, wonderfully inviting house...all make for an amazing vacation. The house was exactly as advertised. There was space to spread out with a fabulous living area, the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed, and the master suite was the icing on the cake. The two big tables made it easy to have an eating space and a game/puzzle space. The deck was wonderful to sit on in the Adirondack chairs in the morning with a cup of coffee and just stare out into the ocean, and a couple of nights we made our way down to the beach with the sand chairs to watch the brilliant show put on in the night sky. Will definitely return to Love Sand!

Awesome Beach House!
The close proximity from house to beach was terrific. I enjoyed walks along the beach with my dog and exploring the nearby dirt roads and paths. The house is fantastic - lots of light even on cloudy days and it was nice to sit on the deck watching the waves and the sunsets. The kitchen is well equipped. Water pressure in the shower was great, better than I expected. During my stay at the house Karen, the property manager, was readily available to answer my questions about the island and the property, even directing me to where things were located.Truly a wonderful place to experience a relaxing time by the sea!
