Fantastic Stay

We were a family of 5 adults and loved staying in this beautiful home. The pictures were very accurate. Two bedrooms have king beds and one bedroom has twin bunk beds. We liked being able to walk to town and shops. We did not cook but beautiful kitchen and outdoor grill.

Lovely home…

We booked this home on short notice and felt lucky to get it. It is a lovely older home that has been updated and beautifully decorated. The inside is perfectly cozy and enjoyable. It has a small backyard and comfortable outdoor furniture. However, the house sits on a busy corner close to the harbor so it is not quiet. The road traffic is non-stop during busy season which makes it challenging to exit the driveway in a car and dangerous for small children to be outside. I recommend for adults only. Otherwise, it’s a great spot if you like to walk to shops, dinner, harbor, etc!

Great House in an Excellent Location

The house was as advertised - beds were so comfortable and the house was so clean and well stocked. The woman who manages the property was so responsive (we needed a new propane tank and beach chairs and she brought them by immediately). We went to town 2 or 3 times a day because it was so close and easy to get to. Would stay again!!!

Fabulous

52 Union was the perfect place to stay for our long weekend trip to Nantucket. House was in an ideal location- less then a 1/2 mile to walk to town. The house was clean and beautifully furnished. Bathrooms are updated and so nice. House was just renovated- kitchen needs a few things if you plan on cooking (like knives or a microwave)- but other than that, it was an ideal place for our family of 5. Thank you!
