Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States
Our home is located 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. Beaver is located in the Historic District Near downtown, the home is about 2500-3000 steps to downtown
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!

“Very convenient to downtown and with a very helpful host!”
“Loved staying here! Great location!”
“Lovely and well-appointed cottage. Very clean. Beds were very comfy with plenty of pillows. Easily walkable to downtown and Wave stop is close by. Prior reviews mention an uncomfortable sofa and issues with ants. We found the sofa very comfy and no issues with ants. Host was quite responsive to some maintenance issues I informed them of (that didn’t impact our stay). Very quiet neighborhood and quite private.”
“Super cute cottage on quiet street.”
“Great place within walking distance of anything you need! Good value compared to other places.”
“We found this little home to be perfect for our needs as far as a private location that was easily walkable to downtown Nantucket! Everything was clean when we arrived and the host was extremely responsive on questions regarding parking, and willing to share recommendations for anything we needed! The only problem we found was ants throughout the home. There were ants in the kitchen, the bathroom and our bedrooms. There were traps everywhere and the host quickly sent more when I voiced the problem, but it still made us feel uncomfortable with cooking at the home, or even eating in the home. The host was extremely responsive, and even called to discuss the problem and offer some help to make us more comfortable, but the ants were bothersome. I would hope they can get it resolved before other guests arrive for a visit. Should the ant problem go away, we’d stay there again!”
