Having vacations with family on Nantucket for almost 50 years, renting each time, we recently spent two weeks in the above home. It was our third consecutive year there. It is very well built, adequate for all my family and guests, convenient to a not busy beach, and close to the large Stop and Shop store, the Nantucket Bake Shop, the airport and nearby gas station. The home is well furnished and supplies everything necessary including recreation equipment. The owner is a pleasure to communicate with, and provides comprehensive instructions about the house and recommendations for restaurants, etc. In summary, my family hated to leave, wished their stay was longer, and hopes to return next year.

My large family has been renting in Nantucket for many years and this home ranks right up there with the best of them. House felt very clean and new. Any minor issues that came up were resolved quickly by the owners who were easy to deal with. The best feature of the home is the location. A 15 min walk (5 min bike ride) down dirt roads to what is one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches in Nantucket.

beatififul home ! loved the area - private dirt road and close to a quiet beach that was phenomenal . owners could not have been more helpful or lovely.

This Madequesham house was the perfect home for our family and friends. We were 10 people and everything this house offered was as described. The rooms were lovely and very comfortable. The home is located very close to town, beaches and bikes paths. We had a wonderful time! I recommend this home to other people interested in vacationing on Nantucket.

Amazing house! Edna was a lovely host. Such a wonderful trip--thank you!

We've rented VRBO properties around the world and were very pleased with Richard and Edna's Nantucket retreat. We have four children in their 20's and the six bedroom layout was perfect for us. We enjoyed the private beach down the sandy lane and biking to Sconset (the number and quality of biking options was over the top). The home is impeccably clean, roomy and well decorated. Absolutely no issues at all. Many thanks to Richard and Edna for making their wonderful location available to the VRBO universe.

Having vacationed on Nantucket Island in rental homes for almost 50 years, this visit was one of the very best. Over these many years, we have noticed expensively built homes often with very shoddy construction. This home was beautifully planned for multiple guests, and finely built. A succinct impression of this vacation was expressed by a family member who called after a very long trip back to California, stating that I should rent this home again, immediately, for next year's vacation. The setting was secluded, and very convenient to an uncrowded beach. Additionally, the location is quite close to town and importantly, the bakeries and supermarket on the outskirts of town. It's also just one mile from a major bike bath leading to town and Siasconset. We all thought that the home was very well equipped with high quality appliances, ample cooking and eating implements, and multiple bicycles. It would be difficult to imagine anything needing improvement. And in addition to all this, the homeowner was extraordinarily helpful and gracious in telephone and email communications. Highly recommended!

Our family has been visiting the island for the past 6 years and have been very fortunate to have stayed in some very nice places. As soon as we walked into Richard and Edna's home we were impressed! The layout of the home, the furnishings, and overall decor was perfect for our large family! Despite being on the island and a very short bike ride, drive, or walk to the beach we found ourselves spending a lot of time just relaxing, and playing games on the front lawn enjoying the peace and quiet and beautiful breeze. Our younger children, big kids, and even the adults in our group really enjoyed jumping on the bikes they provided every day and venturing off for rides around the neighborhood or to the beach. And of course, the downstairs recreation area with the large screen TV and ping pong table provided many hours of fun every evening! To top it all off, Edna was fantastic to work with before and during our rental. We have already booked our return visit next year and look forward to many more memories being made there!

Edna and Richard's house is a really wonderful house - particularly accommodating for two families. We had all ages - from small children to a teenager and the house layout worked perfectly for everyone to comfortably have their own space. As other reviewers have already said - the house is brand new, spotless and very nicely furnished. We also greatly enjoyed the huge selection of bikes and beach equipment - a giant plus in not having to hassle with renting it. Finally - Edna was such a pleasure to work with in renting the house. She went out of her way to accommodate our requests and give us suggestions to make our week even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful week on Nantucket.... in no small part to this house!

My family and I had a amazingly relaxing week in this fabulous new home. We have vacationed on Nantucket previously but never in Madequesham. This location is just a hidden gem on Nantucket. Rich and Edna's home is extremely spacious, immaculately maintained, and provided all the amenities and comforts of home. The views from the kitchen and living/dining room were just breathtaking. The owners made every effort to make our family vacation wonderful. It was also a bonus having bikes and beach accessories available for our use. We look forward to returning next summer!

We had a memorable week at this gorgeous home! We had a group of 10, and there were bikes for everyone! Well-stocked kitchen, plenty of beach/bath towels, and other amenities!! And the sunset views were mesmerizing. The owners were friendly, and made the rental process very easy. It was our first time using VRBO. A wonderful vacation!

We were so impressed with the house which is basically new, and the furnishings which are first class. This was our first week at Richard and Edna's wonderful vacation home and it won't be our last.

Best rental ever on Nantucket! Owners went above and beyond to provide every amenity in this beautiful appointed home. We loved having breakfast while enjoying the views. The house had ample room for two families with teenagers. They had their own space which made everyone happy. There were plenty of bikes for all of us which was an added bonus..Private location but still close to all Nantucket has to offer. We can't wait to go back to this hidden gem!

We stayed for a week in August and loved the privacy of this gorgeous home. The house is brand new, pristine and filled with all of the modern amenities: flat screen TV's, gourmet kitchen with commercial appliances, finished basement, great bathrooms, etc... The property is very private, providing a relaxing place to return after a day at the beach or shopping in town. It is located well off Milestone Road, so there is no street noise. We were also thrilled that the rental came with approximately ten bikes of various sizes and all of the beach "stuff": chairs, umbrella, sand toys and the like. We've always stayed near town on our previous visits to Nantucket. Now we've discovered a whole new way to enjoy the island!

What a lovely place. We've been vacationing on Nantucket for decades, and this is our favorite rental home.....in fact, I've already committed for next summer! The size is perfect for a large family, the amenities are plentiful (bikes, beach chairs, towels, etc.) and I particularly like how well cared for the property is. Proximity to the beach is wonderful, and access to the bike paths, Siasconset, and town are convenient. Edna and Richard are very pleasant and accommodating owners who take an obvious pride in their home, and I hope that all of their vacation renters will take equal and respectful care of this fine property.

We had a wonderful, carefree vacation at this beautiful house. The yard was great for the kids to run around in, the house was great to cook in, and the views were spectacular. We really enjoyed the location--it's off the beaten path but close to everything including our favorite beaches. The house is ample, and everyone was able to find a little peace and quite despite the fact that we had about 6 kids with us. Edna and Richard are wonderful to work with and very thoughtful. We recommend it highly and think it is a great value on Nantucket.
