About this house rental

This warm and private 1850's Nantucket Island half-Cape has every amenity a vacation rental home can offer. Located in the Old Historic District of Nantucket Town, it is situated on a quiet one-way lane just minutes from Main Street and convenient to all of the activities of the Island. The property offers off-street parking and a private fenced yard with patio. The home has three bedrooms and three baths, accommodating up to six people; living-room, dining room, updated kitchen; and laundry/utility room. This 1850 antique half-Cape was completely renovated in 2002. The entire house is completely insulated. The house is heated with radiant heat. The updated kitchen has an antique heart pine floor, hickory cabinets, four burner with griddle gas dual fuel range and granite counters. All three bedrooms are on the second floor (two queens and two twins).

House Description: The house is a circa 1850 half-cape. The house retains all of the features of Old Nantucket, which is quickly disappearing with overdone renovations and reconstruction.

There are three full baths in the home; two new full baths, one on the first floor, one on the second floor, each with a shower and a remodeled full bath with tub on the second floor. All three bedrooms are on the second floor: two queen sized and two twin beds. It has an updated kitchen and is comfortable for a couple or a party of six.

Great location for getting to Main Street! The Christmas Stroll was so much fun and an easy walk down Orange Street to Main! The beautiful historic home adds to the experience.

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.
