The property exceeded expectations on all fronts - it is a lovely, classy, comfortable space that worked perfectly for my wife and inlaws. It's about a 25-30 min walk to the heart of downtown and an easy drive to all breaches. Can't say enough good about it - and Heather was super responsive. I'd give it 100 stars if I could. Nantucket is still my fave place on that planet!

Place was nice and tidy, however the water tasted like rust. The shower was stained from it as well as the water in the toilets with an off brown/yellowish color and the inside of dishwasher. No hot tub/jacuzzi as advertised. Clean otherwise and good location

This cottage was perfect for our long weekend stay on Nantucket! It is about 1 mile from the shops and restaurants in Nantucket Town, which we could easily walk to. The owner also provided bikes which we rode to Bartlett Farms for the 1/2 marathon and Cisco Brewers afterward. The cottage was charming, had a large living and kitchen area and included all the amenities we needed. Perfect for our family of 4!

Sharon is very kind and promptly responded to all of our questions. The house is beautiful and relaxing to hang out in. When the weather from hurricane Ian blew into the island and shut down all the ferries, she graciously offered an extra night for free until we can get off the island the following day. I definitely recommend this property and would stay here when traveling to Nantucket!

Our family of four (w/ teenagers) staying for a week in early August. It slept all of us comfortably. Kitchen allowed for us to make all of our meals in. The place was great and had everything we needed. Close to downtown (15-20 minute walk) and also within a short bike ride of the beaches. We used the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and bikes very often. Just note that is shares a driveway with another rental property owned by the same owner. But the people staying next to us were awesome and actually made our time more fun. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely Property for Return Visit

Lovely Property for Return Visit

We stayed on this property a few years go and returned again - our two children loved the 2nd bedroom being on the 1st floor and having their own space. The location is quiet but not overly remote (it's about a 10-minutes walk to town). Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good location that's not too close to town (but close enough). We brought our car with us and found it was helpful for quick trips to the beaches and supermarkets.

Convenient home base for your ACK vacation

Convenient home base for your ACK vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Crab Cottage. The home is convenient to town or either end of the island if you’re into exploring like us! Fully equipped and provided everything we needed for our stay. Sharon was wonderful to communicate with, as well. Not complaints, just a few things to note if traveling with kids: the bedrooms are on separate levels making it a little difficult with a young child. The road at the end of the driveway is dirt, so make sure you bring your jogger with big wheels if you plan to walk to town. The bones of the cottage are quintessential Nantucket. A few updates to the living room and bedding and and this will be a 5 star property!!

This was the perfect place for my sisters and I to enjoy a Sisters and Nantucket Stroll weekend. The house was clean and cozy and very conveniently located. We were able to walk into town for the weekend festivities, and then come back to the house for some relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend on Nantucket.

Great Location and home design; sticky doors and "worn" interior

Great Location and home design; sticky doors and "worn" interior

First impression was good, until we tried to gain access through the front door, which was so tightly stuck, we couldn't open it without great force, leaving us with needing to leave the door slightly ajar (and unlocked). The back door had the same issue, thus, unfortunate. Also, cleanliness would be a 5 out of 10. Towels were stained, kitchen counters were not clean, missing lightbulbs in island pendants, sofa was worn and uncomfortable, etc. It could be a 10, considering the location, AC, and some of the nice furnishings, good closet space, etc. Unfortunately, the negatives were pretty distracting. Not sure we would rent there again without some assurances that the items mentioned were completely addressed.

Great visit to Nantucket island!

Great visit to Nantucket island!

We had a great visit to ACK staying in Sharon's "Close To ___ " garage apartment - all four of our family fitting in very comfortably. July weather was superb, never caused us to "house bound" the entire 2 weeks. As reported the location was an easy 10 min. walk to town's Main St.; just a short dirt road bike-peddle to the Madaket Rd. bike path; and a 5 min. bike ride or 15 min. stroll to the north beach between the Jetties and Dionis west of Cliffside. Uber'd from there without any problem to the south shore beaches and Cisco Brewery. And best of all, it was a peaceful spot away from the would-be traffic congestion in town. Backyard patio fits about 4-6 people well, and was quiet if main house guests weren't in the grassy back yard of that adjacent house - never an issue during our stay. Never noisy next door although one is conscious of those guest's movements (comings/goings) in the main house. Especially loved the "upside-down" floor plan with the kitchen, living area and main bedroom upstairs to catch the breeze. Entrance hallway w/ washer/dryer closet and one other bedroom (2 twins) downstairs ground floor with garage. One full bath upstairs - note, just one shower/toilet so you have to share! Plenty of closet space in the two bedrooms though, no sharing necessary. Good responsive property manager fixed a water problem same day. Never got to the bottom with Sharon of our laundry issue though. You'll really like this location, the brightness of the house - lots of screened windows upstairs, well-architected - and outside appearance in addition to the back patio. Particularly cozy stand-alone apartment for a family of four sleeping - one queen and two twin beds. Not recommending you try to entertain 10 for dinner as you'd be stepping on one another's toes! Maybe 6 for dinner, ha-ha. Ultimately it's great for sleeping a small group who's active at the beach or one the water every day which we were. Enjoy!

We had a wonderful stay at Sharon's home this past weekend during the Christmas Stroll. Sharon was very easy to get in touch with and was so accommodating- allowing us to check in early, check out late, and even offering us rides to town. We preferred to walk into town, as it was beautiful weather and the walk was short, safe, and had beautiful houses to look at along the way. The house had everything we needed for a weekend trip in December and were sad to have to leave.

Great Family Compound Extender

Great Family Compound Extender

While truly a great self-contained smaller house, it allowed us, along with our adult children and grand-children, to enjoy being all together on one Nantucket property. It had all the advertised amenities including a well equipped kitchen, beach towels and chairs, stacked washer /dryer, it's own patio and grill. House was very clean. Easy walk or jog to town and bike path easily accessed at the end of Dukes Rd. The owner was very easy to deal with and very responsive to any service needs. We loved that we did not need to go thru town to get to some great beaches, our favorite being Cisco. Would certainly recommend.

My husband and I have taken a vacation on Nantucket each Summer for the past 6 years. This home is one of the best houses we've rented. The location was perfect,close enough to walk to Town and also to the Madaket bike path. The yard was beautifully landscaped and private and the house was very comfortable and decorated so pretty. Can't wait to go back again next year.

My husband and two children stayed in this wonderful home during our first vacation in Nantucket. The house is immaculate, comfortable, and very well appointed. The decor is lovely and the grounds are spectacular! The gardens are not only gorgeous, but also very safe for children. The 10 minute walk to town is a feast for the eyes with beautiful historic homes on both sides of the sidewalk. The location was perfect with its proximity to town and the various bike paths. Sharon, the owner, was an absolute delight; this home was a labor of love and it shows...

A Great Stay in a Beautiful House

A Great Stay in a Beautiful House

This summer four of us stayed in this beautiful house on Nantucket. We could not of asked for a better time. The location of the house is outside of town but with an enjoyable walk of 15 minutes you could be in the heart of downtown Nantucket. The rooms were large and the beds were comfortable. The house had everything we could need. It was a challenge to recycle as everything must be separated into categories, but this is a Nantucket law. The flowers were in full bloom and the entire area had a sweet aroma. The pictures on this page do not do this beautiful house justice. If you are looking for a great place to spend a week or a month this place is for you. Make sure to see the whale museum and sunset.

My husband and I stayed here during part of our honeymoon, and our stay couldn't have been better. The house is awesome, beautifully decorated, absolutely spotless, quiet, and it has laundry! I thought it was a very easy walk to all the restaurants and shops downtown, and the owner of the house is very nice. We didn't want to leave!
