Would love to keep this fabulous home a secret but it's just too amazing not to share. Everything was perfect. Top of the line appliances, fully stocked kitchen, beautifully appointed rooms, and a one minute walk to one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Ocean views from every room! Our host JP was so responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. A last minute get away has turned into a new tradition. We will be back over and over.

Nantucket-so relaxing

Beautiful weekend in Nantucket

The cottage was beautiful and we had a wonderful weekend. It was only a minute from our front door to the beach, to the bus into town, and to Millies. It was a great weekend and JP was a great host!

Great stay

We loved our stay. Amazing location next to the beach and Millie’s, and easy use of the bus into town for the teens. Jp was great to deal with and quick to answer any questions. The description of the house is a little misleading - def not a 3 br. It’s a 2br with a pullout couch. Regardless, great spot.

Myself, my boyfriend and our dog planned a long getaway weekend to Nantucket. We came across this property that was very fairly priced for the area. We enjoyed our stay here in the cottage so much. It was updated, clean, felt homey, the property was great and has water views. JP the host was extremely helpful and kind and made the whole process so easy for us. When we come back to Nantucket we will be staying here again and we would recommend to anyone to stay here as well!

Labor Day Getaway

JP is such a great host! This was our first trip to Nantucket and Sweet thing is a lovely place to stay. The house is well stocked with cooking supplies, towels, beach chairs and more! Our only complaint would be the mattress in the master bedroom. Even with that, it is a great place to stay. It is steps away from the most beautiful sunsets! Thanks so much!

Cute interior, but the first impression wasn’t great…needs a lot of TLC to clean green mold and just spruce up the front exterior. I can overlook that if it is a comfortable and clean interior, though. It was clean enough and had a decently stocked kitchen (although we hardly used it). However, it would have been a much better stay if sofa and bed were comfortable. It was very difficult to sit on the sofa without feeling you were going to slide off, and could not relax to watch a little tv or just snuggle….no depth and cushions slanted a bit. The bed was also hard and needed a foam topper or something to make it more comfortable. I know you get what you pay for, but I think a little extra comfort would have made a huge difference, and not cost much to do. A plus was the outdoor patio which was a nice place to sit and drink my morning coffee.
