Welcome to the Windham House! This upside down vacation home is casual, comfortable, and is set on a very private, quiet lot with beautiful sunset views. The setting is truly wonderful and idilic, situated off a private dirt road.

The location provides easy access to everything that Nantucket has to offer! Getting around is convenient on foot, bike, car or bus. The home is adjacent to the Madaket Bike path and also close to the local bus (called “The Wave”). It is one mile to the historical downtown area filled with museums, galleries, shops and restaurants. The closest beach is 1.3 miles away (Steps Beach). If you love nature, there are many conservation areas to explore within walking distance. Our favorite for expansive ocean views is Tupancy Links.

The house is a great spot to access Nantucket’s shops and restaurants and is also great for relaxing and taking it slow. A typical day could involve walking to downtown for some shopping, getting sandwiches at Something Natural, choosing a beach for some sun and fun, and then unwinding at home on the upstairs deck to let the fresh ocean air recharge you. Grab a cocktail or a Cisco beer and sit and read your book all day. Bird lovers, keep a lookout for hawks and the many bird species that abound.

The home is an upside down house, which means the main living area is upstairs to take advantage of the setting. The first floor has two bedrooms each with twin beds, a full bathroom, laundry area, and a living room with two futons and a TV. The laundry area has beach towels for 6. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom, the kitchen and dining area, living room, and an outdoor deck with seating to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The side deck features a charcoal bbq. The yard is private with plenty of parking and room to have fun and play. Use the outdoor shower and shed with beach chairs and toys. The home is also equipped with a pack-and-play and baby gates for families traveling with children.

We look forward to hosting you at our Nantucket home! Please reach out with any questions.

    We loved staying at this wonderful property! It was far enough outside of town to provide a sense of peace and quiet, while close enough to easily bike into town for shopping, dining, or ice cream. Surfside, Madaket, Steps, and Cisco beaches are all a relatively easy bike ride away. The layout was great b/c it allowed my teenage daughters to have their own space on the first floor, while the master was on the second floor. And the upside down style of the house allowed so much light in the sitting room, dining area and kitchen - I loved sitting out on the porch watching the bunnies in the yard! We will definitely be back!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay. The home was comfortable and well equipped, and located a short drive from town. It was also nice that it was on a dead end road, and very quiet. We would certainly stay here again!

    We stayed here for a week in late August and it was by far our favorite rental house out of many years of coming to Nantucket! We are a family of five with three school aged children and the house was ideal in every way. The location is close to town and convenient to everything mid-island, but also very quiet and private with a great yard for the kids to enjoy. We enjoyed being right on the madaket bike path, and it was an easy bike ride to many places on the island, even for our youngest child. The house itself had everything you could need, including great air conditioning, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and a great washer & dryer. Many homes on the island have a bit of a damp feeling, especially on the ground floor, but this house was dry and clean throughout both floors. We would absolutely stay here again - it was a perfect place for our family!

    Kirsten's house was perfect for our long weekend getaway! It's nestled in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood but is only a 20 minute (very enjoyable) walk to town, which we did daily. We rented a car for the stay which was useful for getting to Steps beach, Cisco, etc. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed (beach towels, shower towels, beach chairs, etc.). Kirsten was a super responsive, kind host. I will definitely be going back!

    We loved our stay in Nantucket! The house was super clean and was a great location close to town and a number of beaches. Kirsten was an amazing host and made it a seamless booking experience and gave great insight about the island. I would recommend this spot to any family.

    This home is wonderful! Then location is ideal. With easy access to town (by bike, car or even walking), steps beach, out to madaket, to mid island, etc. the property is well kept making it great for hanging outside on the upstairs deck, front porch or even on the lawn. The home is well stocked with comfortable and stylish furnishing. It feels like a home, not a rental meaning that it’s actually comfortable to hang out in.

    Just spent the dreamiest week in Nantucket with my husband and parents! We all couldn't get over the house - photos do not do it justice. This is the cleanest, most well-cared for rental I have ever stayed in and the natural light was unbelievable. We enjoyed many coffees and cocktails on the beautiful deck, enjoying gorgeous sunsets and peace + quiet. The location could not be better! We walked to town at least once per day, and our favorite South Shore beaches were a mere 10 minute drive. We explored the whole island easily from this launch point. And finally, communication with Kirsten was wonderful. She answered questions quickly and was accomodating on our requests - although there weren't many, as the house is fully stocked with everything you need! A dream stay and we will return!
