This is a upside down house with four bedrooms and a loft with a double futon over the living room-dining room. The loft leads to a widow's walk with a fabulous view of Hummock pond and the ocean and the extensive moor (one can actually see the steeple of the Congregational Church in town 2,5 miles away.) There is a jacuzzi for two and 2.5 bath rooms.The master bedroom is on the second floor with a queen-size bed. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, one with a ueen size bed and a fireplace and the others with twin beds.There is a fieldstone fireplace in the living room that reaches up to a cathedral-like ceiling. There is a library with some 100 books that relate in some way to Nantucket, A deck runs the full length of the front of the house. From it there is n unobstructive, stunning view over the moor to the ocean. The morning sun follows a gorgeous sun-rise ( It is worth to see it with a mist over the moor) and floods the deck and provides an ideal place for breakfast. The view of the sky is also spectacular due to the ability to see so much more of it from the flat terrain. At night as one lays in bed can one may hear the surf pounding on the beach There is also a deck on the back side of the house from which one can enjoy the spectacular sunsets. The beach is a 5-10 minutes walk down an unsurfaced road. There is also a life-guard beach close by if one prefers that. There are two bikes at the house which will get you to the beach in a couple of minutes. Nearby there is Bartletts farm that has in addition to its own fresh vegetables anything one would require for any type of meal Their tomatoes are worth a trip there alone!. Close by also is a fish store with the absolute freshest fish you would find anywhere. As if that is not enough there is the Cisco brewery that provides tours of the facility where they describe their process of brewing the beer and beer tasting of their many different beers. They also make very high class whisky and vodka. There is a different band that plays there everyday and the atmosphere is festive, particularly at the end of the beach day. One can easily avoid going into the busy town.

    amazing location beautiful view!we are seasoned nantucket renters 23 years and have seen a loti will say for potential future renters this is not a well kept home. it is old which is great .. but there has zero upkeep you will find old tired linens. a kitchen with laminate that is not cleanable and cabinets falling apart. a lazy susan that is corroded with perhaps mildew. appliances that may or may not work. also as pointed out in previous reviews there is a significant pest problem ants and spiders everywhere owners communication was ok however he expected us as renters paying a premium to take a day out of our vacation to accept an appliance delivery which was very strange .. and not acknowledgement of such or thank you …

    We enjoyed our stay for the Christmas stroll weekend. The house is in a great location, walkable to Cisco Brewers, Bartlett Farm, and the beach. It worked well for a group trip. One note on the description - this house comfortably sleeps 8, not 10. The final bedroom meant to sleep 2 people is a loft accessible only by ladder, with a small mattress on the floor. Overall we would recommend and thank the host for our stay!

    Great location and house layout! House has everything needed but can use a little sprucing up, especially bedding and linens. There is no a/c as listed and the home does get warm.

    Slightly out of town but with a bike path to many local places. Nantucket beaches are so beautiful and a surf beach was not far away. This house was fun to stay in.

    Short walk to the beach, quiet neighborhood, and quick drive to everything on the island. Right down the road from a golf course and Cisco Brewery

    House was in great location. Walk to Cisco Beach, Cisco Brewery and Bartlett farm. Plenty of space and deck overlooks conservation land with Ocean views. Perfect for bigger families.

    We enjoyed our time here immensely. All we wanted to do was relax, and the setting was perfect for our needs; quiet, close to the beach, a pleasant bike into town. Definitely nostalgic of a typical old beach house. The layout would have been challenging had we been traveling with more than two couples (there are plenty of single beds), but it was perfect for us. Amazing view. Would absolutely stay here again!

    You can tell that this is a house that has been well used and well loved! The upper deck was our favorite spot -- the view of moors was beautiful. The ocean was a constant background sound, and an easy 5 minute walk down a quiet, sandy lane. There were just two people total in our group, but there was certainly room for at least 6 more. Many corners and nooks for lounging and reading. Unfortunately we could not use the widow's walk as we did not realize it was accessed by a climb up a vertical ladder, with an awkward transition to a loft that would have involved wiggling and sliding on our bellies -- not a task for two middle aged ladies with back and hip complaints! It would have been nice to know that in the property description. However, the owner was quick to respond (through VRBO messaging) to our questions about check-in, trash, and a neighbor complaining about lights. All in all, this house perfectly fit our needs for quiet, comfort, and beach access. Add Cisco Brewery (good beer and live music) and Bartlett Farm Market (great prepared food and baked goods) just around the corner and we were happy indeed. Note: the driveway to the house comes in from the street behind the house -- not the street that is the house's address!
