This home is truly one of a kind—a hidden treasure tucked among the charming cobblestone streets of Nantucket. The house is beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location is unbeatable, making it easy to enjoy all that Nantucket has to offer.We had such a wonderful stay and were sad to leave. Wendy was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. We felt right at home and can't wait to return. Highly recommend this special property to anyone visiting Nantucket!

A bibliophile’s dream — welcoming! comfortable! — and perfectly located in the heart of Nantucket, next door to Brotherhood of Theives, steps from everything. Wendy owns the bookstore downstairs. She’s friendly and responsive. I seldom leave reviews here and when I do I’m a tough grader, but this stay simply couldn’t have been more wonderful.

The place was fantastic! Great location, all the needed amenities for a fun extended weekend with my family! Thank you:)
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Very noisy location as there are busy restaurants on both sides of the property, trash pickup at 5:30 & 6:30 am, bottles/glass-rattling noise delivery at 7 am (probably to the restaurants). Coffee machines didnt work (though the owner delivered one at the very last day). Shower drain was clogged. Towel racks were very loose as was the shower door handle. AC thermostats never woked properly, temperature never matched he thermostat setting.
