It was named after a Native American whose name was shortened to Tom Never, thus the area was called Tom Never’s Head, as he was hired by British settlers to man a whale lookout station in the mid 1700s. Fast forwarding to the 1950s, the United States Navy built a facility on an old World War II bombing range on the coastal area of Tom Nevers. It was also held as a bomb shelter for President John F. Kennedy in the event that a nuclear attack occurred while he was at home in Hyannisport. Currently the bunker is still intact and houses the Nantucket Hunting Association.br brBeaches & Playing FieldsbrbrTom Nevers Beach is a beautiful south shore beach and is a favorite spot to fish for striped bass and bluefish in the summertime. Note that there are no lifeguards and the surf can be rough at times. Looking to play outdoors with the family, head to the Tom Nevers Field which has a large park with softball fields and basketball hoops right along the ocean.br brAmenitiesbrbrThe community offers a private tennis court and neighborhood pool, making it a great option for families.

Instructions to complete the agreement will be provided immediately after booking.brSiasconset, or simply 'Sconset, as locals call it, is the area on the eastern most end of the island. About a seven mile drive from Town, on Nantucket’s only state road, Sconset is its own little world. In the summer, the village is blanketed with rose-covered cottages, lush green hedges, large hydrangeas and white shell driveways around every corner. Just when you think Nantucket Island can’t get any better, head out to Sconset for a little slice of heaven out on the east end.brbrBeachesbrbrJust beyond the village is Sconset Beach, great for sunbathing, a picnic and the place where the sun rises first in the United States. Kids can walk across the street from the beach to enjoy the nearby Codfish Park playground.br brAttractionsbrbrThe Sconset Bluff Walk is a popular walking path that is open to the public and winds through rosa rugosa, honeysuckle, and the backyards of ocean view mansions. A must to visit is the beloved Sankaty Head Lighthouse; the only original lighthouse still standing on the island. Completed in 1850, the lighthouse was 60 feet high with 10 more feet added in 1888 as a lantern deck. No longer needed as a working lighthouse, and in serious danger of falling into the sea, the Sconset Trust in 2007 took ownership of the property and moved the lighthouse to safer ground. The grounds are open daily and several times a year the public is welcomed to walk to the top.brbrGolf & TennisbrbrSconset is also known as a haven for golfers. There are three golf courses – Nantucket Golf Club, Sankaty Head Golf Club, and Old Siasconset Golf Course, affectionately known as “Skinner’s.” The first two are 18 holes and private, with the latter course being 9 holes and open to the public. This course is believed to be the oldest privately-owned golf course still being played. If tennis is more your flavor, the Sconset Casino maintains an excellent set of courts for the enjoyment of members. brbrRestaurantsbrbrThe Chanticleer is the ultimate spot for a romantic dinner. Whether you dine al fresco in their beautiful gardens or in one of their elegant dining rooms, their French cuisine and wine list makes for a memorable evening. Ocean Avenue is where you will find the Summer House. Enjoy cocktails and lunch by the pool, or have dinner in the main restaurant while listening to classic tunes on the piano. The Sconset Café (cash only & BYOB) and Claudette’s Sandwich Shop are two other options in the heart of the Village, next to the rotary. Around the corner is the Sconset Market, a great place to grab a morning coffee and blueberry muffin, a sandwich for the beach, ice cream, or that gourmet dinner ingredient you forgot while you were downtown.brbrEventsbrbrCelebrating the beginning of spring, the Daffodil Festival is held the last weekend in April and it is the first of many island festivals. Hosted by the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce, the weekend is full of events such as art shows, tours, parades, contests, and the annual Nantucket Daffodil Flower Show. The tailgate picnic in Sconset that follows the Antique Car Parade is a favorite among everyone who attends this Nantucket festival.brbrPets - not allowedbrbrbrNo instructions providedbrbrNo instructions provided

Availability must be confirmed with the property manager prior to any request being accepted. Booking requests submitted without confirming availability may need to be declined.brbrFour bedroom beach house on Smiths Point in Madaket.

Even if your booking request is accepted through VRBO, it is not fully confirmed until the rental agreement has been reviewed and signed. Instructions to complete the agreement will be provided immediately after booking.brLocated at the westernmost part of Nantucket, Madaket is a quiet village with a laid-back vibe. The area is almost all residential, with only one restaurant, a small general store, and a marina. This area of the island evokes thoughts of how Nantucket was decades ago. One of the most famous islanders, Mildred Jewett, took residence in Madaket, hence the moniker Madaket Millie. Millie was a colorful character and volunteer Coast Guardsman for over 75 years. For more than a few of these decades, Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was her neighbor.br brBeachesbrbrMadaket Beach is well known as the best place on the island to see the sunset. About 6 miles from Town, getting there is easy by bike, the Wave (our local shuttle bus) or bring your car and park in the small beach lot. Get there early since it's a super popular beach all day long. Nearby Smith Point allows driving on the beach with an Over Sand Permit and a four-wheel drive vehicle. brbrRestaurant and MarketbrbrAnother great spot to catch the sunset is from the deck of Madaket’s only restaurant, Millie’s. Enjoy delicious Baja-style tacos, quesadillas, salads, and po’ boys. Take in the fresh ocean air as you sit, sip, and enjoy their signature Madaket Mystery and Madaket Mule cocktails. Next to the restaurant is Millie’s Market where you can find all the necessities for a day at the beach. Especially enjoyable for the kids is to grab an ice cream from the market, while the adults can enjoy some beer and wine.br brActivitiesbrbrA few other favorite activities in the Madaket area are fishing, crabbing, boating, and navigating the curvy bike path that leads to and from Town. Exploring the sandy mores and walking trails are great ways to get some exercise and make sure to keep a lookout for large turtles by the bridge on S. Cambridge Road, heading over Long Pond.brbrPets - allowedbrbrbrNo instructions providedbrbrNo instructions provided

No longer needed as a working lighthouse, and in serious danger of falling into the sea, the Sconset Trust in 2007 took ownership of the property and moved the lighthouse to safer ground. The grounds are open daily and several times a year the public is welcomed to walk to the top.brbrGolf & TennisbrbrSconset is also known as a haven for golfers. There are three golf courses – Nantucket Golf Club, Sankaty Head Golf Club, and Old Siasconset Golf Course, affectionately known as “Skinner’s.” The first two are 18 holes and private, with the latter course being 9 holes and open to the public. This course is believed to be the oldest privately-owned golf course still being played. If tennis is more your flavor, the Sconset Casino maintains an excellent set of courts for the enjoyment of members. brbrRestaurantsbrbrThe Chanticleer is the ultimate spot for a romantic dinner. Whether you dine al fresco in their beautiful gardens or in one of their elegant dining rooms, their French cuisine and wine list makes for a memorable evening. Ocean Avenue is where you will find the Summer House. Enjoy cocktails and lunch by the pool, or have dinner in the main restaurant while listening to classic tunes on the piano. The Sconset Café (cash only & BYOB) and Claudette’s Sandwich Shop are two other options in the heart of the Village, next to the rotary. Around the corner is the Sconset Market, a great place to grab a morning coffee and blueberry muffin, a sandwich for the beach, ice cream, or that gourmet dinner ingredient you forgot while you were downtown.brbrEventsbrbrCelebrating the beginning of spring, the Daffodil Festival is held the last weekend in April and it is the first of many island festivals. Hosted by the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce, the weekend is full of events such as art shows, tours, parades, contests, and the annual Nantucket Daffodil Flower Show. The tailgate picnic in Sconset that follows the Antique Car Parade is a favorite among everyone who attends this Nantucket festival.brbrPets - not allowedbrbrbrNo instructions providedbrbrNo instructions provided
