My mother and I stayed here in October. It was a quick walk to town. The beds were some of the best we’ve ever slept in. Overall a wonderful stay and we are looking forward to returning!

Great spot overall. Great location and the homeowner was very responsive. The one thing I would say is that the linens and towels did not seem very clean. Please be aware of this when you stay.

Our group of 4 adults and 2 teens had the most perfect stay at this neat Nantucket cottage. The location is absolutely perfect for a walk into town, which we did frequently each day. The yard was lovely for relaxing and we even enjoyed a takeout meal at the outdoor table. We loved the outdoor shower as well. Despite its small appearance, the house is very roomy and has every amenity that you need. Greg was very easy to work with and communicated well. We would absolutely LOVE to stay here again!

You will not be disappointed. The location of the property is perfect. Far enough away from the downtown area that you don't hear the noise, but close enough to walk to everything. Greg is a great guy. He was quick to respond at the time of booking. Communication with Greg was great throughout the process, and he even provided helpful contact info for transportation and other helpful tips that made the stay stress free and very enjoyable! It's a very clean and well maintained home. Many thanks to Greg!

We spent four rainy, windy days on our first trip to Nantucket Fortunately, we got to spend more time in Greg's historic and surprisingly spacious home. A Plus are the appropriately modernized bathrooms and kitchen, although we didn't use the great stove, having opted to do all our dining at Nantucket's mostly outrageously expensive restaurants. This expanded Cape Cod styled home is furnished in a typical and comfortable Nantucket style. The beds are very comfortable (Rave reviews for the Master Bedroom mattress.) The private yard area with umbrella table and outdoor shower are also outstanding features that we didn't get to use. I recommend that you ignore the "Karen" comments below concerning the ceiling heights, particularly in the upstairs bathroom. The first floor ceilings are higher than the conventional height, except in the rear laundry area, but what's the problem? Staying here, You become part of the historic past of this typical Cape Cod historic home and hopefully you will appreciate the past and the legends of islanders that are part of this home's personality. Alas, we didn't encounter any ghostly presence! We shall return to this charming island and home.

In general, house is well kept/maintained. A few cons: we were the end of the rental season so A/C filter, dishwasher filter and ceiling spiders all needed to be cleaned. Also some may find old windows & screen door charming, but I prefer easily opening windows/doors with working screens. Pros: Great location, great host, good kitchen to cook in, overall clean property, nice side yard with outdoor shower. A/C in bedrooms is a bonus we appreciated. I would recommend this property to anyone as the pros far outweigh the cons.

Perfect for a family vacation on Nantucket
The house is quaint, quirky, and quintessential Nantucket. It’s a historic house conveniently located only a short walk along picturesque streets from Main Street and everything you come to Nantucket to enjoy. The home has every high-end upgrade you could want or need while totally preserving the beauty and charm of a house originally built in the early 1800s. There’s plenty of room for a family (we are a family of 6) with comfortable furniture that will make you feel like it’s your vacation home the moment you arrive.
As the owner will gladly tell you, it’s not the Ritz. We wanted Nantucket, not the Ritz. We wanted to enjoy a well appointed, private home in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful backyard that has been carefully furnished and equipped with everything a couple or family could need to just relax, savor, and enjoy.
Sure the original wide plank floors are a little uneven in spots, but they have nearly 200 years of stories to share with each step. All the door jambs might not be square, but just imagine all the families who have treasured each time they opened them.
The owner is an outstanding host who clearly cared about our family, including texting us to make sure we made it back to the ferry during a stormy night.
Our family had a great time enjoying this home. If you’re looking to really feel like you’re vacationing on the real Nantucket, we recommend this home without reservation.

Even better than we expected
The only thing inaccurate about the listing is that the house is much bigger than we expected! The check in process was seamless, the house was nice and clean. And the location couldn't be better. Great walkability to the downtown area. They even had a pack and play for our baby which was extremely convenient. We would definitely stay there again.

perfect location, missing some amenities
perfect location, wonderful outdoor space with large gas grill which is fun to have people over for a cook out. Large kitchen with ample kitchen utensils. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper in the whole house and no bars of soap or shampoo which was a bit disappointing. There are also no full length mirrors

Not as expected, but adequate
I have rented all over the island for over 25 years, and sadly this was not what I expected. House is well located, does provide parking, was clean and does offer all of the amenities etc as outlined including updated bathrooms., laundry room and kitchen. . Gregg was very responsive throughout the booking process and while there took care of a small matter immediately. The good news stops there. It's the locations of said bedrooms (one requires passing thru either of the other two bedrooms to enter/exit ) and bathrooms (the second one on the second floor is totally useless for an adult...I am 5'7" and could not stand up straight in it nor turn around with the door closed); serious lack of closet space, especially in middle bedroom where there is none (and no hooks anywhere) To suggest 3 couples could stay there comfortably is really pushing it. House is old, yes, but over half the windows would not open. Yes, there are table top fans, screens for the windows that would open and a/c units in upstairs bedrooms. It must get brutal in the middle of summer.
Yard was a disgrace; it appeared not to have been watered, weeded or otherwise tended to all season. NO cushions for the limited outdoor furniture. No screen door on front door and screen on kitchen door falling off. Definitely would not recommend or return.

This historic home is located on a private, quiet street. It's about a ten minute walk to the main shopping/dining in historic Nantucket. It has a modern/updated kitchen with many of the basic spices, condiments, etc. available for guests. It was great having a new washer/dryer with laundry soap available. The living room furniture is really comfortable...two sofas and an oversize lounge chair to spread out in . The backyard is private. Our family really enjoyed our stay!

Summer vacation
Greg was a wonderful host and very easy to work with. The house's proximity to town is its main asset. The house was clean and the kitchen updated-all appliances were in great shape. Beds were all comfortable. Wish all the bedrooms had blinds as the sun makes for an early rise. The house is an OLD home and has some quirky aspects-slanted roof in one of the baths and a super narrow second staircase that is gated off but can be used. Bathrooms on the second floor are small. First floor full bath was spacious. Our family of 5 had enough room not to feel cramped at all in the living space on the first floor and in their rooms. Loved access to beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. Outdoor shower was a nice touch. The bones of the house could use some updating but we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely week at Weymouth
Greg the property owner was very accommodating from the start! He was easy to work with a great communicator. House was a good size with spacious common areas downstairs. Best part was the beautiful private outdoor garden to enjoy. Very easy walk to town down Orange St and really only a few blocks from a water view!

Great location great host!
This traditional Nantucket Cottage is not fancy but it is comfortable, clean, and the location is wonderful. The home is located on a quiet street that is an easy walk to town. The updated kitchen was nice to cook in and well-stocked. We were there during a hot week so the lack of air conditioning on the first floor was a bit of a challenge, however, the second floor bedroom AC units kept the bedrooms nice and cool. The owner was wonderful to work with and there were plenty of towels, umbrellas and beach chairs for our family of 6.
