    Our second time at Sweet Thing was as wonderful as our first. A 3 minute walk brought us to Madaket beach where the sunsets are perfect. The house itself is lovely and well kept, J P always a phone call away to answer our questions whether it was how to adjust the heat or where we could find the grill. He was wonderful. The location of the house for anyone familiar with the island, Millie's is right next door and their food is delicious. The bike path can take you from downtown is about 5-6 miles and an easy ride. Linens and towels are well stocked and after our first time there we got the hang of the oven. Clarence, our 12 year old Shih Tzu, was content to stretch out on his bed in the front room, catching the sun. I been visiting the island for well over 50 years and every time we go we manage to find something or some place that's new to us. Just a wonderful get away especially on the shoulder seasons. Many thanks to J P, for being our perfect host. Hopefully, we'll be back in the fall, until then we'll be counting our sweet memories Kristel & Ed

    The photos don't show how perfect this sweet thing cottage truly is. I loved being on Nantucket and witnessing the island wake up from the winter.

    Would love to keep this fabulous home a secret but it's just too amazing not to share. Everything was perfect. Top of the line appliances, fully stocked kitchen, beautifully appointed rooms, and a one minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Ocean views from every room! Our host JP was so responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. A last minute get away has turned into a new tradition. We will be back over and over.

    Beautiful cabin and location. Lovely high-end appliances and aesthetics throughout. The owner was very pleasant and easy to communicate with for check in and everything went smoothly during our stay. We had a wonderful time - perfect for three adults and two medium sized dogs, and we hope to visit again soon!

    We loved our stay at Sweet Thing in Nantucket! We were away from the busy streets and right by the beach! The sunsets were incredible and we enjoyed eating at Mollie’s several times. We look forward to visiting again!
