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!

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.
