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, firstfloor 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.

    Secret garden cottage filled with beautiful artwork. Walking distance to heart of town. Owners thought of everything. Can’t recommend this rental highly enough.

    This was one of our 'bucket list' trips with best friends of 40 years. We were more than pleased with the house and gardens, a perfect spot to enjoy catching up and explore the island's sites. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen and grill were perfect for sharing the cooking of breakfast and dinner. The weather could not have been any more perfect. Being life long New Englanders, we know how hit or miss the early fall weather can be. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us!

    Other than a tight squeeze for our Volvo to park, the rental is lovely and full of beautiful paintings and antique furniture. The kitchen is amazing and the entire cottage is worth the stay on the Island. We walked downtown to dinner and back. The patio and yard are a nice outdoor touch.

    This home is perfect for a getaway stay on Nantucket! Porter was amazing to work with as we coordinated our trip ahead of time and while we were on the island. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful retreat for our girls weekend. The next time my path takes me to Nantucket... I would love to spend my time here!

    This cottage has always been a delight to stay in! This was our 3rd time staying in this quintessential Nantucket charmer. Its location is perfect for access to town, but offers the privacy one seeks.

    The home and location were exactly as we expected. The garden, decor, kitchen amenities, linens, appliances all A+. And the art work on the walls is exceptional, way beyond what one would expect in a rental cottage. When we had a need Porter responded w/alacrity and the problem was resolved quickly.
