Host Information:

Stay Heirloom professionally manages a collection of handcrafted homes designed to bring your group together. Our spaces are more than just a place to stay. They are a source of lasting memories. If you love this listing, but you are looking for something you don’t see here, please inquire!

Guest Access:
This home has a lock with a door code. Codes and other check in details will be provided via message and texted to your phone on the day of check in.

The Neighborhood:
Our home is located in the Historic District - just a brisk walk from downtown Nantucket; great restaurants and shops are just a few steps away! The shoreline is close by, with the popular Jetties Beach just a 10 minute bike ride through town. Our home’s location is perfect for those looking to get the best of both worlds; the hustle and bustle of the community center and the reprieve of an island getaway.

Getting Around:
Want to explore? We’ve got you covered. Downtown Nantucket is a brisk walk away, but if you’re looking to adventure to other parts of the island, there are several different transportation options near us. There are two bike rentals within a 15 minute walk from our home; Young’s Bicycle Shop and Sandy Pedals Bikes. But, if cycling isn’t your speed, Affordable Rentals is also a 15 minute walk away in Downtown. Just remember to bike safely and wear a helmet!

Terrible experience. The house was not accurately described. There was moldy smell throughout. We told the host immediately and did not stay. We had to get a hotel at higher cost. We asked for some concession for the rental fee paid the refused. Only credited cleaning feeDon’t ever rent this place !!! Or anything from the property manager

PERFECT

My kids and I absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful little home. It was perfect for what we needed. It was clean, bright and we felt perfectly comfortable staying there. I only wish we could've stayed there longer. We will be returning to the area this summer and I hope to book this home again.
