About this house rental

A relaxing seaside vacation awaits you at Frankie Starlight, a cozy 3 bedroom cottage in Madaket!

Experience the best of the West end of Nantucket from this ideally located home. Beautiful Madaket beach is a 2 minute walk down the street, and an NRTA shuttle stop is around the corner. With serene water views over Hither Creek out to Nantucket Sound, this home rental is your perfect destination spring, summer, or fall! Away from at all, the boundless moonlit sky will amaze you at night.

Savor the famous Madaket sunset from an Adirondack chair on the back deck. At night, the calming sounds of waves crashing ashore will lull you to sleep. The kitchen opens into a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for those cool Nantucket nights. There’s cable TV, DVD, and a stereo system for family enjoyment. The house has 2 spacious and sunny bedrooms featuring splendid water views. Attached to each bedroom is a private bath. There is a separate guest cottage with a Queen bed and private bathroom.

Additional amenities include wireless hi-speed internet, washer, dryer, parlor games, beach chairs. The backyard is equipped with four Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, and charcoal grill: perfect to enjoy a relaxed family dinner outside. A well-behaved pet is welcome, but no smoking, please, inside the house.

It's only a three minute walk to one of Nantucket's favorite restaruants, Madaket Millie's, offering ocean-view dining and serving some of the best food on the island. The take-out window is open late for Ice-cream and dinner, with outdoor dining. Right along side is the best little general store offering supplies, ice cream, wine and beer, ice and just about anything else you need to avoid a trip to the busy town.

Stop at the grocery store when you arrive, load up, and park your car in our driveway. Chances are you won't need to get in it until you leave!

Of all the locations on island, Madaket is known to have retained the old world feel perfect for a family that wants to relax, walk and ride bicycles to the country's best beaches and to simply be together.

Don't forget to take the beach cart, loaded with your picnic supplies and a bottle of wine, to the beach at the end of the day to watch the sunset into the water each night. The sky will be ablaze. You will see that other happy families arrive to do the same.

Quiet and simple, this cottage is a perfect home-base to explore the very best of one of the best Islands in the world.

Our stay at Frankie Starlight was absolutely amazing. Francis was a great host, responded quickly to texts (no issues, just couldn't find the code he had originally sent!) the House was clean and cozy. Kitchen was easy to cook in and well stocked! Our kids loved using some of the toys. The yard and back porch were prefect for evenings with young kids. Wine on the porch while they played! We will definitely be back.

This property was perfect for our needs. The location on the island is amazing as it allows you to get away from town and the crowds, but the convenience of the shuttle when you want to use it. The property presented exactly as it was described and the owner provided a very comprehensive and helpful "user guide" that we found helpful. This property does not disappoint.

This is our third time in this home. The location is everything. Very close to the beach and beautiful views of the bay. And the owner, Frank, was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed. He went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We will absolutely be staying here again.

What a beautiful, comfortable, relaxing home and a perfect spot. We spent a week, each day exploring parts of the island by kayak, bicycle, car, or walking to and on Madaket beach just a few minutes away, then relaxing at home in the evenings. The fully equipped kitchen made cooking at home a breeze but it was also just a 15 minute ride into town to reach all the great restaurants. The owner provided great recommendations on what to see/ do/ where to shop and eat. Can’t wait to return some day. LOVE this home!

Had a fantastic week here in this adorable home. The location cannot be beat- a short walk to Millie’s and Madaket beach (easy even for toddlers). We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets off the back porch and the peacefulness of the quiet neighborhood. We would love to stay here again in the future- our whole family absolutely fell in love with Madaket!

Great neighborhood! Couldn't access Madaket beach due to erosion but found another close by. Had a few obstacles as first guests of the season but all was resolved given good communication with Frankie Starlight! You will enjoy it😊

First I want to thank Francis for being so helping and inviting the whole week we were staying at his home. I had trouble working the door at first but Francis immediately helped us out. He also gave us many places to visit and check out while on the island. He made an amazing week even better. The home is situated on a very quiet end of the island. The beach was calm and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather with almost no one around. The drive from the airport and the main city is super easy so we would go to dinner downtown every day with exception of two days where we grilled out. The main home has a main common area and two bedrooms and bathrooms at either end, perfect for a family. The back deck overlooks the bay and is perfect for morning coffee or an evening drink. We will definitely come back and will certainly hope this home is available when we do. We highly recommend this to anyone traveling to the perfect island of Nantucket.

Had a wonderful stay @ Frankie's Starlight this month! My first time staying in Madaket in 50 years of travel to the island. The Starlight is incredibly comfortable with both heat and AC. We loved how the two bedrooms were on opposite ends of the house separated by the great room and kitchen. Fully stocked with everything from linens and bedding to cookware and beach chairs/towels - you don't need to bring anything from home and can pack light! Excellent communication with a very welcoming owner! Don't miss renting here - it's serene and quiet with beautiful sunsets and breathtaking starry nights! We had a blast Frankie *including Peanut and appreciate your hospitality!

This house was perfect for our needs in Madaket. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars was because the water heater broke while we were there and sprayed all over the room making bedding and clothing wet, requiring quite a bit of clean up. However, Francis was immediately available by phone and it was fixed the very next day. The house was in great condition. Very clean and steps to the beach. I will definitely be staying there again. Madaket is such a magical place.

This house had a great location within walking distance to Madaket Beach, Smith’s Point, and Millie’s. Deck has a nice view of the water. Three bedrooms each had their own bathroom and kitchen was well equipped. Owner was extremely easy to communicate with. Recommended!

We took my almost three year old and it was so kid friendly. We could have even left the pack n play at home. Frank was great and very communicative and helpful. We are definitely rebooking for next year. It is also a five minute walk to a fantastic beach. Great place!

We had a fantastic stay at Frankie Starlight! The host was warm, welcoming and responsive. A short walk from Madaket Beach and Millie's, the location is a 10/10 and proved the perfect spot for our family, including a toddler who enjoyed riding to and from the beach in the beach buggy. The home and amenities are basic, typical of a beach cottage, but very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed time on the outdoor deck with a water view of Hither Creek. We will definitely be back, and we can't recommend Frankie Starlight enough, particularly for families!

When we arrived the property was very clean and had all the comforts of home. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything necessary to cook our own meals. The grill was an added bonus. We loved the location near Smiths Point and Madaket Beach. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends and are looking forward to stay there again!

Maybe it comes from a rental cottage in October, but geez, if you're the owner, you don't have to splurge on capital expenditures, just powerwash inside and out and put some paint on. Between the general grime, lightbulbs out in kitchen and inside fridge, the smoke detector battery going in the middle of the night (of course), and the general level of dirt and overuse-- wow what a disappointment that the owner thinks its okay to treat renters like that! After we checked in we went right to Stop & Shop and bought cleaning fluids and paper towels and went through the place. We're not talking COVID clean, we are just talking everyday clean. And brutal wear and tear on EVERYTHING. Literally every surface needs paint.
