About this property

Waterfront, Town Historic District, Stunning Harbor Sunrises, Magical Sunsets

Experience a comfortable and modern stay in the heart of bustling Nantucket. Our house is just a 5-minute walk from the downtown area and 10 minutes from the ferry terminals. Relax in our spacious rooms and enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets while barbecuing in the private yard. Step outside to a public beach only 100 feet away and enjoy kayaking or paddle boarding in the pristine harbor. Conveniently located on the Washington Street bike path, you won't need a car, but we offer parking if you bring one. Use our tandem kayak (1) and stand-up paddle boards (2) for a truly immersive beach and town experience.

Perfect getaway

We did 10 nights here and I didn’t want to leave. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Loved the location right by the harbor, the spaciousness of the condo, and the easy walk into town. The management has supplied this home with everything it needs for beach, laundry, BBQ, morning coffee on the deck, and was very professional and organized. Excellent vacation property. My biggest concern was that it would be booked the next time I wanted to come again.

Wonderful spot!

We love this location and house if fantastic! I have rented this property a couple of times and each time has been fantastic! This house has everything you need and the owner is very responsive! We used the paddle board a lot and love that there are beach chairs and towels ready to use! The house is clean and user friendly! Just a heads up that when you rent this property you are renting the bottom floor only. We never need more space - it has worked out great for us! We will be back!

Gorgeous sunrises

Great house for us. Clean and clutter free. Surprisingly quiet for location on a busy corner. Seeing sunrise from bedroom and porch motivated us to actually get up to see it. Wonderful to be able to paddleboard in early am when it's less windy. Fabulous location for walking into town and biking everywhere.

Days start with coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise over Nantucket harbor and finishes while enjoying a cocktail and the cool breeze. This place is perfect. Jonathan was super responsive and accommodating. We’re definitely coming back.

Perfect for the 4th!

We had an amazing stay over the 4th of July weekend. The owners left welcome snacks, wine, and flowers. The house was perfectly accommodating with everything we needed including beach towels, beach chairs and cooler. We loved using the SUP and kayak and exploring the creek area and small secluded beaches over by the yacht club. You absolutely can not beat this location. We walked into town for every meal and loved the proximity to the bike path. The beach across the street was perfect for late afternoon swims with the kids. Owner was very responsive when we had to reach out with a small issue to resolve. Highly recommend this fabulous spot on this special island!

Don’t hesitate…

We were only there a moment or two before it felt as much like an invitation as a transaction. And after just five minutes on the porch gazing at that memorable view, bliss…. There was something that made us smile as we entered each room—unexpected touches everywhere we turned. We forgot to pack a couple of things, but we found all we needed and plenty more that was useful. We so appreciate the incredible amount of thought and creativity that’s gone into designing, equipping and stocking this relaxing refuge.

PERFECT HOUSE AND LOCATION

I do not think that this home could be any cleaner! The beds were comfortable and all amenities were thoroughly thought out. We had never been to Nantucket, so the information/recommendation packet was really helpful! Although we biked almost everywhere, we did not have bikes the first night. It was a quick walk to downtown. We had a great time.

Incredible Nantucket Seaside Retreat

The experience renting this incredible house in Nantucket Town was perfect. The house is absolutely beautiful. It was incredibly well-appointed. No detail was overlooked. Every corner of the house was immaculately spotless. The house is the perfect combination of a charming New England Exterior, and a modern clean elegant design with the ultimate in functionality in the Interior. The decor has a tasteful coastal/ beach vibe. The location is perfect — within a 5-minute walk to the center of Town. The view of the beach and water from the front porch is breathtaking. Everything is new and in perfect working condition. The Kitchen is equipped with every item needed to make and serve meals. The house was equipped with everything for an incredible vacation— BBQ grill, Kayaks, life vests, beach chairs, etc. I could go on for pages, but the bottom line is: The house was perfect.

Perfect house for two couples

We had a fantastic time at this perfect location. Check in could not have been easier. The location is great, its an easy walk to town center and right on the bike path. The views are amazing. The house had everything, great kitchen, paddle boards , beach chairs , towels. It’s everything I would have in my own vacation house. We would stay here again and probably will.

Lovely and convenient condo across from the beach

My husband and our new baby (14 weeks) spent just under a week here and had a great time. It's right across from a beach (on the sound so very low key - we would go for a dunk after going running). The house is really well appointed and the pictures don't quite do it justice. Only downside is that it's on a somewhat busy intersection (though set back behind hedges very nicely) and so it's not quite as private as you might imagine for a traditional nantucket beach house, but this didn't bother us at all. Great people watching, exceptionally convenient to everything you could need and really well laid out with all the house items you could need (e.g., towels, beach towels, a mini cooler, cooking utensils, grill, etc).

Couldn't get any better!

This is a clean, newly updated property that was spacious and filled with amenities(including wine and snacks upon welcome)! The location is second to none. It was wonderful taking the Paddleboards across the street and clamming in the harbor. Walking to the center of Nantucket to the restaurants was a short 5-10 minute walk. Even better was the seafood market a few doors down. Next time I return to Nantucket, this is where I'll stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Zschau

Host profile image
I am a Boston-based Massachusetts attorney. This property was built by my parents in 2015-2016 and I am assisting them with the logistics of renting this property on VRBO. I am also available to provide you with any information and recommendations regarding what to do, where to eat, and what to see on Nantucket.

Why they chose this property

This new, modern construction is located in the Nantucket Town Core Historic District. It faces Nantucket Harbor and is footsteps from Main Street Nantucket, the Great Harbor Yacht Club, the new in-town bike path, and the beach.

What makes this property unique

The location is hard to beat. The home is located directly across from Francis St. Beach so you will always enjoy stunning Nantucket Harbor views. If you do stay here, please take the time to enjoy at least one sunrise and sunset from the front deck. You will not regret it. Footsteps from Main Street Nantucket so you do not even need a car. New in 2019, we have two paddle boards and one tandem sea kayak available for our guests to use.
