We rent by the week only. Check in and out are on Saturdays. Pet Free. A short walk or bike to the beach (10 - 15 minutes at a leisurely pace... you want to be leisurely on your vacation!), we offer privacy and seclusion, facing South toward the breezes and the sound of the surf. Although true to Colonial architectural detail on the outside, the downstairs has an open plan, centering on a wall of glass that opens out onto a porch and steps down onto a brick terrace. The two bedrooms upstairs each have a skylight through which to watch the stars. The outdoor shower rocks! The owners live on the property, in the adjacent Garage apt. The properties are totally separate = orientation, parking, outdoor living spaces etc... enhanced with fenced screening and lush natural plantings. Biking: Nantucket has created a wonderful bike path system that one may ride in safety. The bike path is only 100 yards from the house and takes one either to the beach, to town, or connects to the Surfside, Siasconset and Polpis bike paths for trips around the island - Wide and well maintained. Nantucket also has a shuttle bus system for travelers and locals alike. The Town shuttle (which runs until 11pm) stop is 1 mile, a fifteen minute walk, from the house... all along the bike path. The Surfside Beach shuttle is only a few hundred yards from the house, but only runs until 6pm. And you can bike to the shuttle stop if you want to shuttle and bike at other parts of the if you get tired, the bus will bring you and your bike home! Surfside gets its name from the waves and wide beaches along the South shore, perfect for fishing, swimming and sunning. Our house is but a short walk or bike from the beach. There is a pavilion there with showers and restrooms if you desire, and Life Guards are present, as the surf can be big. IF you are adventurous, you can stroll down the beach to a more remote area or even (1/2 mi. down the beach and around toward the west) a nude beach!
