    This place is amazing! Such a beautiful place to stay, especially if you are a book lover! It is a great location, allowing you to easily walk to eat, shop and tour adorable Nantucket. Clean and very well-equipped, and the host was fantastic when our stay was unexpectedly extended because of weather and travel delays. Highly recommend!! The bookstore is also amazing. We visited it multiple times. We hope to return!

    Everything was great except I was reaching out to the property manager that actually didn’t exist. Once I was in touch with the owner I got my questions answered. Our stay and the property were all wonderful. The location could not be beat. We love the whaling museum, Main Street and our favorite restaurants nearby.

    This apartment is amazing! Perfect in-town location, close to everything. Extremely clean and absolutely beautiful. And a chef's kitchen.

    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.

    Loved the location. Convenient to everything downtown. 2 bedrooms with en suite bath and a loft with 2 twins. A bit loud in the mornings but that is expected with such a great location.

    Wonderful stay! Just as pictured and even more charming. Location was perfect, and the ability to stash our luggage before and after check in/out was very helpful. Planning to come back next year!

    We loved our stay at Literary Oasis! The apartment location was amazing for first time visitors to Nantucket or those wanting an in-town location. We had an easy walk to all the shopping, restaurants, and pier spots. The actual home was amazing. As an avid reader, I loved the book theme of the unit. We will definitely be booking this stay again .

    My girlfriends and I have been traveling to Nantucket for over 20 years, and this spot was picture perfect for a friends weekend getaway! Amazing location, beautiful grand room with books for days, and very clean and comfortable bedrooms. We would highly recommend and look forward to staying here again! Thank you :)

    Wonderful, eclectic apartment right in the middle of everything! Beautiful decor and comfortable beds. The only thing that was a little inconvenient was no bathroom upstairs and hard to bring suitcases up the spiral staircase. Otherwise it was great!
