Nantucket, Massachusetts
Enjoy a privet surround and the garden's southerly orientation define the outdoor living space, offering warm sunshine. Enjoy mornings on the slate terrace, take time out for sunbathing or an afternoon of reading.Evenings offer stargazers a clarity unique to Nantucket. Birds abound.
The first floor plan is open, the furnishings and art collection selected by and for cognoscenti, and the kitchen designed by a serious cook. When day is done, there's a cozy, tucked away, sky lighted, first floor bedroom & adjacent bath offering privacy to a second couple.
The second floor master bedroom suite includes a side room with day bed, foyer, and bath. Certain seasons birds stage themselves for breakfast amid the canopy of branches to the west. The side room also enjoys a westerly view.
Just steps away form the historic 'Three Bricks' on magnificent, elm shaded, upper Main Street; private Howard Court is a short, five minute walk to Town center. Designed for a totally self-indulgent summer idyll, the property is perfectly located, allowing occupants and their guests plenty of flexibility for both at-home or walking distance activities, without the need for a car; though the property does provide off-street parking for one vehicle.
Nantucket, 'one of the most perfectly preserved examples of 19th century architecture in America.' and the once Whaling Capitol of the World pairs its unique history with pristine beaches, fishing & sailing, miles of bicycle & nature trails, absolutely world class restaurants, galleries and distinctive shopping. It's no wonder so many people return year after year.
Beautiful garden area and great kitchen. Location was also a bonus. Only recommendation would be put curtains or blinds on at least the first floor bedroom and bathroom.
We loved our week at 8 Howard Court! Perfectly located on the edge of town. Easy walk into town, private yard, beautiful garden and an adorable cozy cottage, couldn’t ask for more! We look forward to our next visit!
Enjoyed the cottage and Nantucket!
This property is absolutely charming! The yard is a beautiful verdant garden complete with baby bunnies. The cottage is beautiful to look at and is very comfortable. All amenities are in there. Excellent location to center of town-about a 7 minute walk to where everything is happening. Parking for one car.
We enjoyed everything about this Nantucket gem-- the quiet location accessible to downtown, the tucked-away garden and dining outside, and the attention to detail evident throughout the house. A wonderful place to get away!
Great hosts, beautiful property and space- photos don’t do it justice. 2 full BR + a separate twin. Excellent kitchen, yard, 5 min walk to Main Street. Owners responded within minutes for any needs- was in town for wine fest, did not disappoint.
We had such a great time here! First of all, Porter was very responsive the entire time we were there. It is walking distance from town but also very quiet. The place is small and quaint but felt large enough for 5 people to have plenty of room. My step daughters thought it was the cutest house they had ever seen and we were all talking about when we could possibly go back again.
Very cozy. Great location. We’d stay here again. Lovely and comfy accommodations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage is well appointed with comfortable furnishings, beautiful art, antiques and decor. This quaint house is surrounded by other pretty houses on a quiet street with gardens and hedged-in privacy. The caretaker of this house was attentive and easily reachable for anything we needed. Our end of summer stay was very memorable!
Retaining its historical character but lovingly updated for the present and thoughtfully outfitted for all your needs. the cottage is like a step back in time. It's tucked away just a short walk from Main St., with a private garden which is absolutely stunning. Our host Porter was equally amazing and replied to questions within minutes.
We had a wonderful three night stay at Porter’s absolutely lovely spot! The house is located at the dead end of Howard Court and provides tons of coziness, charm, and privacy, with beautiful gardens to greet you upon your arrival. Fabulous Matouk towels made us feel very pampered, and we all had great sleeps in the very comfy beds. Our 17-year-old daughter loved the coziness of the smaller upstairs bedroom, and our other teenage daughter said that her upstairs room was so welcoming and comfortable. If you like antique homes that are meticulously kept and beautifully appointed, don’t miss out on this house! Also, the walk to town could not be any easier!
We loved everything about this house. It was the cleanest and nicest house we’ve ever rented on Nantucket. Perfect location, beautiful garden and yard, and extremely charming house. We will definitely be back.
Yet close to town- had all the amenities- great stay.
We had the most lovely stay here! It’s right in downtown but still felt like we were in a green garden oasis. Porter was a total pleasure to work with too!
This was a great stay for our family of three. Plenty of room and great location.
Wonderful cottage, fine amenities, lots of character. Beautiful outdoor space. Close to downtown, yet far enough away to provide quiet space. Great communication with owners.
