Oceanfront Cottage on Smith Point with Beautiful Water Views, New Kitchen

Magical home in a magical place. Loved staying at this house out on beautiful Smith's Point. Walking to Millies for food and going between the harbor and the beach were highlights for us. Wonderful vacation.

This is the perfect beach house for a family to stay at in Nantucket. My 4 boys, ages 1 to 11 all had a great time staying here last week. The beach in front of the house cannot be beat, it’s gorgeous, private and has the most beautiful sunsets. The house is updated, comfortable and well-equipped with everything you need to make you feel at home. The wraparound decks with amazing ocean views were perfect for family meals. Having Millie’s within walking or biking distance was so convenient! Their food was outstanding…we got take-out lunch and dinner here several times, as well as iced coffees and ice-creams! Tom and Susan are great hosts and were so helpful with their recommendations. My family and I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!

We stayed for a week in June. Weather was cool and foggy; just right for exploring and photography. The cottage is typical Nantucket. Grey shingle exterior and light and airy interior. Very clean, well kept and supplied. Short walk over the dunes to the beach. Tom was great with communication and recommendations. Madaket is a good beach location away from the crowds. I would recommend having a rental car as it is quite a ways from town although the Waves shuttle is also convenient. Be prepared in the summer for large crowds and traffic in town. Also, be prepared to spend more than usual. It is expensive, similar to Hawaii.

My family and I just returned from a wonderful week next to the beach at Madaket. Already wishing we were still there. Very chill, so relaxing. This home had all the amenities we needed. Tom was a great host with clear and timely communication. All around a very nice vacation rental.

We highly recommend this rental house. It is super comfortable with fantastic furniture including comfortable beds and couches. The house is bright and cheerful. The most amazing piece are the views. We have been renting in Madaket for 23 years and this house was beyond any doubt the best place to stay. Easy access to the beach and Smiths Point for sunset. Millie’s is great for dinner and a very short bike ride. The house had everything we needed and the owner was super responsive. We highly recommend this house.

What a wonderful property! Fabulous views of dunes and sea, bright and airy, perfectly equipped. One of my friends, who has been a realtor on the island for 40 years declared it her new favorite Nantucket house which is really saying something. The Huttons, our hosts, were responsive to our every need going so far as to buy martini glasses and a cocktail shaker when I inquired about it. All in all, a wonderful experience and we will return.

If you like being on the beach in a simple beach community that harkens back to what Nantucket used to be, this is a great place to stay. If you prefer to be in/near town and everything that comes with it or in high-end fancy/luxurious accommodations/locations, this is not your slice of life. If Smith Point works for you, this house is excellent. It is very clean and comfortable, well stocked with everything you need, only 50 yards from the crashing waves of Smith Point beach, which serenade you to sleep at night, and provides wonderful views of the ocean. Although the location is Old Nantucket because it is simple and not fancy, the house has modern furnishings, appliances, flooring and plenty of light. The hosts are top-shelf. They are responsive and a pleasure to deal with. There were four of us in our party and we had plenty of room. The house is an A+ Smith Point rental. Steven & Terry

The views were stunning and our three boys got to be boys. Very close to the beach and big yard. Loved our time in Nantucket.

The owners were wonderful to deal with and the home exceeded the write-up and pictures. If you are looking to be On the Beach you can not get better than this property and owners. This was our first VRBO rental and would return to this property without hesitation.

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at the Scallop! This oceanfront cottage is well maintained and clean. Everything was very clean upon our arrival with the beds freshly made. There were plenty of linens and towels available for us. The Scallop has everything you need for a fabulous, stress free week at the beach - wonderful new kitchen with cookware, tools, appliances, dishes, glasses, flatware, etc.; beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, wagons etc.; charcoal grill; deck furniture, amazing views; a path to the private beach; outdoor shower. Tom, one of the owners, was great to work with. He was always quick to respond, very pleasant and helpful. I would 100% recommend staying here and we certainly hope to return.
