Secluded Home abutting Bird Sanctuary

Located between Quidnet and Sconset this upside down home is surrounded on three sides by conservation land It is private and secluded allowing you and your children to relax and enjoy nature. With decks off the first and second floor, views of the Sankaty light and golf course as well distant views of the ocean are very delightful. Deer frequent the yard as well as rabbits and birds. The house is 600 ft from the road making it very quiet and safe for children. The inter island bike path is at the end of the drive way linking you with the rest of the island. Sconset and Quidnet beaches are only minutes from the house. The house is furnished in Old English Pine and tastefully decorated. If you are looking to clear your head calm your spirits and just get away from it all, this is the house for you.

    A lovely stay

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is comfortable, spacious, and met all our expectations and needs. The back patio is a delight and we enjoyed soaking up the sun whild enjoying our morning coffee. Communications before and during our visit were helpful and prompt. We really loved our stay and hope to stay again. :-)

    If you want space, quiet and a fantastic view

    This is the place. We had never stayed in an “upside-down” house before and we just loved the ample sunlight, big 2nd floor decks, and beautiful views of Sankaty light in the distance. Our sun-bathing dogs loved it even more. All appliances are in good shape, and there was ample hot water and heat to combat April’s chilly evening temps.

    Quiet Nantucket getaway

    The upside down design to the house was perfect- we were able to sit on the large second floor deck and enjoy the night stars and beautiful Sankaty lighthouse every evening. Amazing location - it was the perfect getaway. We also used the miles-long biking trails at the end of the driveway daily. House was bright, open spaced and had everything we needed.

    Fantastic space for large groups to gather and enjoy! Awesome view of Sankaty lighthouse! Quiet!

    Stephen was a great host, we stayed there over Christmas holiday and he made it easy to host my family from out of town. We loved having so much quiet space to play games and watch movies and eat family meals. It was warm and clean and comfortable. Definitely need a vehicle as it’s almost out in Sconset itself BUT it’s a beautiful location! Plenty of necessities to cook and use if you like to cook meals. Just a great place for family! Highly recommend!

    The house was so nice , very quiet and a beautiful view of the lighthouse

    The house is on the bus line, but it does not run all year. Be ready to use uber or have a car if you are there off season. The bike path is great when the weather cooperates. Close to Sconset, so you can take the bus into town from there if you have a bike.

    Relax and Unwind on Nantucket Island

    We had a marvelous stay at this rental. It was perfect for our multigenerational family of eight. We enjoyed the secluded location and the wildlife sightings. The upper deck was an added bonus as we were able be outside with the small children very easily. We plan to return next year!

    Beautiful Property!!!!!!!

    I stayed at this property for a quick weekend trip during the off-season and it was magnificent. The interior has a great home-y feeling and a great layout for relaxing with friends and taking in great views of the island, especially a nice distant view of the Sankaty Lighthouse! Despite most of the town being closed up still, my friend and I had great time! If you're up for some shell-fishing it's also close to some great spots! Look forward to staying again!

    Wonderful Christmas Stroll Stay in 'Sconset

    My husband and our friends (there were six in total) rented Steve's house during Stroll weekend. It was beautiful there and the house had a wonderful view of Sankaty Headlight when you stood on the top floor porch. The house is much bigger than what the the pictures show, and it was the perfect size for six people. Beds were comfortable and overall the place was very clean and put together. We had some woodland visitors - a few deer and rabbits were spotted out back over the course of the weekend. It was maybe a 15 minute drive to town, and it was nice to be able to leave the Stroll crowds behind and settle in for the night with a glass of wine and our friends in quiet 'Sconset. We usually stay in town when we visit the island, and this was our first time staying on the other side of the island, but we are definitely considering renting Steve's place in the future when we return to Nantucket.
