About this house rental

'Sand Palace' is a wonderful place for a family or two to enjoy a kid friendly vacation. Relax on the open deck enjoying the Madaket Harbor view and sunsets while the kids play in the large backyard. The nearest beach with a life guard in season is a five minute bike ride or ten minute walk, and there are numerous other beaches easily available by bike, car, or shuttle bus. The frequent shuttle stops across the street from the back yard.

Since the entire island is a beach you wake up and decide whether you want surf or calm for the day. Upon returning from a beach, museum, or exploring kind of day you wash off in the enclosed outdoor shower or clean your sandy feet on the back deck, and drop your towels in the mudroom/laundry room.

From there you enter the spacious new eat in kitchen with beautiful granite counter tops and wood floor. The living room has a view of Madaket Harbor and ocean beyond and lets onto the front deck. Downstairs the master bedroom has a queen bed and TV. The downstairs guest room has a queen and single bed.

The open stairway leads upstairs to three rooms and a bathroom. The 'bunk room' has two extra long singles and a water view, while the guest room has a queen and a single also with a water view. There is also a children's play or sleep area known as 'the cloud room.'

In the evening there are games to be played on the lawn, ping-pong in the basement, sunsets to be enjoyed, beach picnics, numerous restaurants for dinner or cocktails, two movie theaters, or just board games and reading at home.

Located a ten minute drive or 20 minute bike ride on a protected bike path from 'downtown,' the house is approached from the Madaket Road but fronts on Washington Avenue which in spite of its grand name is a dirt road largely occupied by the resident rabbits.

Wonderful house with just about everything you might want or need. Loved the nautical theme. Near the Wave shuttle stop. Fit all nine of us!

This house is great. It is really well laid out - very spacious - so no one feels like they are on top of one-another. The yard is also a great size and you can see the water from the front porch! We were here for work, but it made for a great place to rest our heads. The homeowner is really sweet too - you could feel the sense of family in the home. Would absolutely stay again.

Sand Palace is an incredible property with an amazing owner

We had an amazing stay at the Sand Palace. We have been coming to Nantucket for 17 years and had always stayed at the Cliffside Beach Club. We decided to change it up this year and try renting a place. We feel so lucky to have booked Sand Castle. The location was perfect - a 5 minute bike ride from Madaket beach and Millie’s (2 of our kids faves). It has a great lawn for playing games and a basement with a ping pong table where the family tournament happened all week. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and sunset on the porch was a GREAT treat. Larry is the best host. Always in communication and made everything really simple. There are plenty of bikes and beach chairs. Bikes are good beach bikes or for tooling around the island on Nantucket’s great bike paths. The bus to town is just down the road- so convenient or you could bike in. It was a great family vacation.

We enjoyed 2 weeks with family at the Sand Palace this fall. There was plenty of room for indoor and outdoor activities. The house is well cared for. The owner is very responsive and provided lots of information on Nantucket and ideas for things to do while we visited. We very much appreciated that extra touch. Would certainly recommend to others.

This is a family-friendly "home away from home," with such memorable amenities as the Madaket Beach, Millie's restaurant, and shuttle service into town. Larry makes you feel like you're a friend of the family with his notes and emails before and during your stay. With 2 bedrooms and a bath both located on the first and second floors, you can have the privacy you need and have your own routine. We had my daughter and husband with their two small children on the first floor closest to the kitchen and living room. My adult son and I took the upstairs rooms. I was able to get up early and either take a bike (located in the garage) ride or take the shuttle across the street into town to enjoy breakfast at The Fog Island Café! We've been going to Nantucket for over 25 years and this is our favorite place to stay. We enjoyed eating at The Brotherhood of Thieves Pub, Downey Flake, Fuscaro's, Back Yard BBQ, and The Lobster Trap. We meandered over the cobblestone streets to enjoy shopping as well as ice cream at the Juice Bar and fudge at Aunt Leah's. . We also enjoyed the kid-friendly restaurant at Jettie's Beach and music and drinks at the Cisco Brewery. A bonus was my daughter meeting Jill from Odd Mom Out standing in line at the Juice Bar! Thanks Nancy and Larry for a very memorable experience! Carla Phillips Katz

We have been renting Sand Palace now for 10 years, and it has remained our favorite place to return to. It is a beautiful home with all of the amenities a family could need. We also had an adults only long-weekend one year and it was perfect for that as well. The interior is beautiful, but comfortable, and is large enough for a large family or two small families. The house is right on the bike path, with water views, and is a short walk to the beach. Our family regularly walks to the beach and Millie's market. We had one week when Sand Palace wasn't available and rented a different house - and it only confirmed for us that Sand Palace is the only house we want to stay in on the island. We highly recommend this property!

We had a wonderful week staying at Sand Palace, and thoroughly enjoyed the location in Madaket. Larry was a great resource for helping us learn about all that Nantucket has to offer. The house was very clean and comfortable, and well stocked with all the gear you need for the beach. My family is looking forward to returning!

We have rented many homes over the years, but Sand Palace exceeded even our highest expectations. The critical difference is that the home does not present as a rental - there are personal touches, big rooms with nice linens and furniture, and a very comfortable feel. The owners obviously take great pride in this house and are extremely helpful and attentive in the process. Some of the highlights for our group of 2 families with children (ages 7-12): The basement, impeccably organized, stocked with toys and beach equipment. The location, on Madaket Road but set way back, with an awesomely huge lawn for whiffle ball and bocce. The perfect view of the famed Madaket sunset from the quiet and private front porch. And the little touches - the big bucket at the door for washing sandy feet, the plush beach towels for guests to use, and the crazy awesome first floor shower that made me not want to go home. This place is awesome. We will be back!
