We had a fantastic stay at this rental! Charles, the owner, was incredibly welcoming—and meeting his sweet puppy Honey was a bonus highlight. The location was ideal, with easy access to the Nantucket Wave bus system, which made getting around the island a breeze. Inside, the home has a unique industrial-nautical charm that’s both stylish and cozy—thoughtfully designed with lots of character. It was a great experience from start to finish, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

Good choice! We’d go back!
Pros: bus stop directly across the street was a huge plus and it is free through 2025. Renovation of basement (and it was bright inspite of lower level location) done very well and decor was locally specific which we loved! Lots of books, comfy beds, hot water in the shower even with three people taking showers in a row. TV worked flawlessly. Temps in unit were perfect throughout the stay. Plenty of blankets for the beds. Cons: a bit musty yet owners did well to have a dehumidifier in the unit. Lots of cobwebs in corners. Had to clean coffee pot before using—there is no dishwasher. Need mirror in bedroom!! You can hear the people living upstairs walking around, sneezing, using the water.

The Best Spot on Nantucket!!!
My girl friends and I have been coming out to Nantucket for a long weekend for years now and this was by far the best place we’ve ever stayed!! Jais was wonderful to rent from and the on-property manager Charles (and Honey) was an absolutely delight!! We can’t wait to come back next year, 10/10 could not recommend enough!!!

Nice Spot
We had family on island for the weekend and this was our overflow house for the young adults. Its nicely appointed albeit somewhat far from town. Jais and the on property owner are wonderful and easy to work with. Definitely look at this property if you are staying in Nantucket.

Nantucket stay
This was our first time visiting the island. We had a great time! The host was very friendly and has a very friendly dog. This downstairs apartment is part of a multi-unit house located in a quiet neighborhood and very centrally located.

Excellent stay at a rustic Nantucket apartment
We were very satisfied with our stay from start to finish. Jais was easy to communicate with and very attentive. Charles, the property manager, was a joy and helped us with anything we needed. Will definitely stay with these hosts again in the future. Thank you!!
