Cute guest cottage

We loved our stay. The cottage was very well equipped, clean and private (even though it is a guest cottage on the back of the property). The owners were so nice and willing to help with dinner recommendations and island suggestions. We’ve been coming to Nantucket for 25 years and would highly recommend this property! We loved our family vacation in this beautiful location close to walking trails, 40th Pole, Madaket beach (Millies) and public transportation to town.

Tiny

Tiny property. The “master” is up a treacherous ladder so we ended up sleeping in bunk beds on the main floor. The owner was nice in the beginning but then arranged workers on the house beginning early in the morning - ruined the morning. Also required us to do much of the cleaning ourselves - eg stripping own beds. So if anything approximating luxury is what you are looking for, this is not the place

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay hosted by Karen and Seth who were so generous in their offers for recommendations for things to do on island. The cottage is absolutely perfect for a couples weekend away!

Five stars

We really enjoyed the peaceful location of this guest cottage, nestled in a beautiful quiet residential neighborhood about 5 miles west of town. It is cozy; we thought the size was perfect for two people. The property is well taken care of, and exactly as advertised on the listing. We brought our bikes on the ferry and stayed here for three nights in the 2nd week of September which was a perfect time to visit: summery beach weather during the day, and sweatshirt weather at night. The island has very nice paved bike paths, and we also got $18 unlimited ride three-day passes for the Wave shuttle bus (which has a bike rack), which conveniently stops right at the corner of this neighborhood (once every hour on the off-season). This cottage was a perfect home base for adventuring around the island and Karen was a gracious host full of local recommendations, highly recommend.

Wonderful rental property and perfect for our family of four. Quiet neighborhood, but very convenient to town and other parts of the island. The owners are very helpful and so friendly. Would stay again for sure.

Hidden Gem in Madaket

We had an amazing stay at Karen and Seth’s home in Madaket. Our family of four had everything we could have possibly needed for our special, family vacation. Karen and Seth were so friendly, they could not have been more accommodating. Our children loved playing in the yard and the home was comfortable and clean. It is located near the most amazing uncrowded beaches where our children were able to swim, and not a far drive or shuttle ride to town. We hope to visit again soon and cannot thank Karen and Seth enough for being such hospitable hosts!

The Perfect New England Summer Getaway

My family of four rented this charming cottage for our July getaway. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The location was ideal - quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle yet easy to access transportation into town when we wanted to dine out or shop. Our family enjoyed exploring the beaches and taking in the gorgeous scenery. The island was dreamy. We hope to return again someday. I highly recommended renting here for your next getaway.

Lovely Nantucket Cottage

What a wonderful little cottage on the side of the island with the best sunsets and Millies! We loved staying here, Karen and her husband were attentive and gracious hosts. They even helped us unlock our luggage late at night (we left the keys at another state/hotel!!) The cottage is clean, peaceful, and in a lovely location. We can’t wait to return.

Cute Cottage, Great Location

A quaint little cottage just a short walk from the beach through a picturesque bird sanctuary for gorgeous sunsets. Owner is knowledgeable and extremely friendly, provided many tips for places to eat and memorable activities. Loved the winch to the second level!

ACK is always a good idea.

For the 3 of us this little home was a perfect 5 night stay. The owners are available to help if needed and it’s a cute and clean place. We did turn the love seat each night to watch tv and put it back before bed... not a big deal ... We loved the walk to beach access and all the house amenities.

Peaceful spot

It was lovely to hear birds chirping, and see hawks wheeling overhead but being very near the bus stop when you wanted to go downtown.

A lovely cottage in Fisher's Landing

We had the great fortune to rent this fantastic find in the quiet, & well situated community of Fisher's Landing, located in the western part of Nantucket. This immaculate, charming cottage is fully up to date with every convenience imaginable. Owners Karen and Seth Gottlieb saw to every detail in the crisp, current decor in this comfortable, welcoming home. The two bedroom unit with private yard, gas grill & outdoor heated shower, was ideally sized for our family of three. The Gottliebs are wonderfully gracious hosts, and offer plenty of suggestions for island sights & activities. It's a short walk to the beach through a bird sanctuary, a nature lover's dream, for an exclusive view of protected Nantucket. Bring your binoculars! Easy access to the busline and bike path make navigation a breeze. This was our first time at the cottage, and it certainly won't be our last. We've found a new home, and have made lovely new friends, at our favorite destination. We highly recommend this choice as a terrific HomeAway in Nantucket. Pat Welch Sept 30, 2018

Charming Jewelbox of a Cottage

We so enjoyed our time at this quaint little cottage. It is perfectly decorated in a very Nantucket feel, yet is fresh and new so isn't at all musty. We found the walk to the beach nearby very enjoyable, with the beach being calm due to the side of island it is on. We went to Millies for dinner a ton & for the famous sunsets, which are spectacular. But you do have to bike to Madaket beach as way too far to walk. And the cottage is very small, so if you are more than 2-3 people or you want to hang out in your cottage, think about that. It was perfect for us as we were out and about every day, so we loved coming back and having an outdoor shower & a place to toss everything. Finally, Karen is absolutely fabulous and her reco's are 100% worth taking! We loved our stay and hope to get back to this little gem of a cottage.

So Lovely and Peaceful!

Our two-night visit was far too brief. Everything about the cottage was absolutely perfect. The hosts offered great tips and suggestions that were especially helpful since we were first-time visitors to the island. I hope to return for a much longer stay.
