The cottage was perfect for our vacation. There was ample parking, plenty of room, and everything was as advertised. We cooked in every night and were happy to find a kitchen with plenty of cookware and utensils. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable. The perfect Nantucket cottage and would stay again!

We utilized the beach path every day of our visit - the ocean water temp was in the mid/high 60's.
The Wave is running free this year. It turned out it was easier to NOT use our car!
The house had all the accommodations we could desire and zero shortcomings.
Thank you to our host!!

Location is super. The beach path to 40th Pole is right there; the kids and I walked it while their parents could drive right onto it. The neighborhood was safe for them to ride their bikes throughout and they loved having access to the tennis courts. Having the bus stop right at the end of the road was so convenient. Mark was right to call it “Happy Place”.

This was our third stay at Special Place. Mark is an amazing host, the house had everything we needed for a wonderful Nantucket week. Most important to us , the location is just perfect, in beautiful Madaket , steps from bike path and minutes to beautiful beaches , in a quiet neighborhood, with a lovely very private deck -perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktail. A week is never enough :)

Loved the house, neighborhood and proximity to beaches. Also access to tennis courts was a plus.
Some small nitpicks on the rental bikes conditions but the beach chairs were a pleasant surprise

Another wonderful stay at Special Place. We absolutely love the quiet Madaket neighborhood, right near the bike path and just a short walk through the dunes to a beach . We loved morning coffee and dinner on the very private deck overlooking the beautiful surroundings with a view of Long Pond . The house has everything you need and Mark is a wonderful communicator, answering any questions promptly. We hope to return again soon !

Family vacation
We had a wonderful week at Special Place . Mark was a great communicator and answered all our questions very quickly. Our extended family of seven was very comfortable in the four bedrooms. Absolutely loved the location , quiet neighborhood , close to the bike path and a lovely short walk through the dunes to one of the north facing beaches . Only thing that would have been helpful is a bigger table on the deck. We ate almost every meal outside on the wonderfully private deck which was great except there is only a small table that fits about four people . And there were only a few kids sized bikes available for most of the week , several adult size bikes were dropped off towards the end of the week . But overall a wonderful place to stay with everything you need to go to the beach . Very sad to leave !! Thanks for everything Mark!

Truly Someplace Special
We all fell in love with Someplace Special. It came well equipped with everything we could need and I will sorely miss that deck! We loved beautiful, quiet, and restful Eel Point (always a beautiful day in the neighborhood!), walks to the often private local beach, the many gorgeous and family friendly beaches, and pretty much everything else in Nantucket. It was the perfect family getaway for our family consisting of three generations. It truly is aptly named Someplace Special. Thank you, Mark, for sharing it with us.

When we came into the home we could tell it was a very “special place” everyone felt comfortable.
The bedrooms were comfortable and clean. Everything we needed was there snd easily found like towels, kitchen appliances, beach stuff etc… it was great to have bikes available upon arrival. We had meals out on the porch morning and night, no bugs snd a nice private feeling. We took several walks on the path to 50th pole, so peaceful and classic ACK experience. AC worked very well and was appreciated because it was pretty hot out!

Perfect Madaket home for a family stay
We had a wonderful vacation staying at “Special Place”. There were great sleeping options for everyone in our family. There is a gorgeous view from the back deck with a hummingbird who would visit me while I had my morning coffee in peace. The house was equipped with everything we needed for the beach and my daughters enjoyed playing tennis at the neighborhood court.

Lovely stay
We were so charmed by this summer home. Myself, my husband, our daughter and our cavapoo Jack 🐶 felt right at home here.
Greeted by the pretty flower boxes in front, our stay was very nice.
The place was spotless, which I absolutely have to have!
Comfortable beds and lots of room, we’d love to come back someday soon.
Thanks Mark for your hospitality !

Fantastic Location, Bikes, Beach Chairs and More!!
We loved our stay at Special Place. Mark was very helpful and responsive to questions. Best location on the island - easy access to the bike paths; can either bike or drive to best beach on the island (Madaket) with amazing sunsets! The house is old Nantucket, very charming, and clean. Has every convenience you could want so pack light! The outdoor shower was very useful, beach chairs, bikes, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay at the “Special Place”
We had a wonderful stay here! The location is right by the beach path, so it was a nice walk through the nature preserve to the ocean. The house is fully stocked with towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, bikes and more. It is only 10 minutes from town and is very peaceful. The host was easy to communicate with and very hospitable. I recommend staying here!

Ridge lane
The house is in a great location, Near Madaket beach , easy shuttle or bike ride into town , etc. However, upon our arrival essentially the entire house smelled musty , like mildew , especially the first floor . This odor permeated the bedding , towels , etc . Even now , 3 days later my sweatshirt reeks of the same odor ...

Easy going family spot
It was a very easy going family style home that fully accommodates one’s needs...from towels, beach stuff and chairs, sheets, towels EVERYTHING you need for a fun and chill vacation. If I had to say anything ..some of the beds need a mattress cover and a fitting top blanket because the sheets kept sliding off the twin beds but no a big deal. Thank you hosts!

Wonderful Nantucket home!
We had a wonderful time at Mark’s home in Eel Point. The house is very well maintained and stocked and very cleaned. You can tell it is loved. We used the house bikes and rented a few other specialty bikes for our kids and biked all over the island during our week stay. It was wonderful! Madaket Beach is a short bike ride away, and you can walk to go feed (or see people feed) the turtles and crabs at Long Pond. 40th Pole beach is a beautiful walk through a nature preserve although we hadn’t realized that it was a drive-on beach for cars. Unless you’re also driving on, we wouldn’t recommend this particular beach for those walking. But Dionis Beach isn’t very far by car or bike, and it is delightful. Such a fun week on Nantucket!
