About this house rental

Kitchen and living room are on the second floor and feature a great wraparound deck in the rear with amazing ocean views. **Dogs are welcome for an additional $200 fee *** This home is available for 7 day/weekly (Saturday to Saturday) rentals only for the last two weeks in June-through mid September.

Wonderful beach house….beautiful beach. The view of the ocean from the deck was fabulous. The house was in need of some repairs….nothing major….just basic wear-and-tear. The airplanes fly overhead and the road to access the house is a bit nerve-wracking, but all in all a great place for a family vacation.

Our stay could not have been better. The house, host and location were to say the least PERFECT.

We love to come to Nantucket and have been coming for many many years but have never stayed in this part of the island and it did NOT disappoint! The house was perfect for our family, the surf and swimming was just what we were looking for as well. We also love to play games outside and the area around the house was ideal. Being closer to the airport was new as well but it was fun and entertaining. We hope to come back next year!

Exactly as described. Amazing ocean views on a surf side beach. It is a long drive on an unpaved road. If you plan to spend time on other parts of the island it is a journey going back-and-forth. Otherwise a great house and a wonderful spot.

We were a three generation family who enjoyed ourselves at the house. The house had lots of rooms, porches and beach toys to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the nearby beach where the children searched for shells, learned to body surf on boogey boards, build sand castles, and even see a seal.

Wonderful stay with my family and two dogs. We loved the ocean views from every room and brief walk down steep stairs to the beach. The beach was empty, beautiful and we even saw a sleeping seal on the sand.
The dirt road to the home is over 2 miles and a bit bumpy but added to the charm. The house is near the airport but in a more undeveloped and rural area .
The home itself was casual and comfortable, nicely stocked and as advertised.
We are looking forward to our return.

My whole family -- from my 6 year old son to my 80 year old mother -- loved our time in this beautiful house! It was very well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen, towels, beach toys, and everything else we needed. It was a pleasure to communicate with Kathy when needed, although we didn't really need to reach out to her much as we didn't have any issues. A wonderful experience all around!

Our family of 7 adults (and 3 month old baby) just returned from a wonderful week at Far and Away. We could not have stayed in a more perfect home for our family. The house was very well-stocked and we had everything we needed- it is so beachy and comfortable. We could not think of one single thing that could be improved upon!
We spent lots of time on the spectacular deck with panoramic views, and walked back and forth to the beach countless times. The yard is great for games as well. We were so happy at the house that we hardly left except for 1 or 2 excursions. We loved the isolated location, and the long dirt road leading to the house made us feel like we were really away from it all! The dirt roads around the house are perfect for long runs or walks.
Thank you, Kathleen for sharing your home with us. Absolute perfection, we know we want to come back!

Just off a spectacular week at Far & Away. Madequecham has been my favorite Nantucket beach for 30 years, so to be just steps from it is simply perfection.
We had two couples and two labs in our party, and plenty of room whether gathering or doing our own thing. We hosted nine adults for dinner during three nights of our stay and brought in private chefs. Again, plenty of room indoors and on the deck for casual grazing and seated dining. One of those nights included an acoustic guitarist at sunset... I think the neighbors enjoyed it as much as we did.
The home has everything you need and more, and the owners are a pleasure, super responsive. We will definitely rent again next year (perhaps for two weeks next time) if we don't buy a house like this for ourselves in the area before then. Highly recommended.

This property is beautiful, the location was perfect - just yards from the beach. The house was clean and well appointed, and the yard was large and flat - great for yard games. Thanks for a great stay!
