The Cove
Nantucket town Vacation Rental - ID 35164

We stayed in this sweet cottage visiting our son (and his friends) in August. It is in a perfect location to town and walkable to everything we needed! Restaurants, shops, grocery store, the "Wave" (free public bus) stop and a great little fish store! The kitchen is little but that didn't prevent us from cooking some fabulous meals for our gang of sailors. There were plenty of pots and pans, plates, utensils for us to use and thankfully a dishwasher. Everything was very well organized right down to managing the trash and recycling. All the seating areas came in handy too on the days we were feeding a crowd. The weather was just perfect which gave us great opportunity to sit on the back patio in Adirondack chairs and giant table that seats 8. The bedrooms were very nice and quite comfortable. Upstairs is best for immediate family members to share because of the way the rooms are set up. There is a bedroom (1) with a bath attached and then the other bedroom (2) is off the first bedroom. Both share the bath but you will have to walk through bedroom 1 to get to it. Not a lot of privacy but works for a family. The little "love" cottage is adorable and sleeps 2 comfortably. You will come into the house to share the bathroom but make sure to take advantage of the wonderful outdoor shower!!

Alex, the co-owner, was so friendly and quick to respond when I had any questions. She was very accommodating to our schedule, which we so appreciated. I would definitely return to this sweet cottage again if/when we come back to beautiful Nantucket! show more show less

We had a great time and really enjoyed the location We went for Nantucket Stroll with 3 couples. Would be great to go back and enjoy the beach. Alex was great and very responsive and easy to work with!

Home located midway between town, restaurants and grocery stores. Also right down the street from a small beach and pond. Easy walk in each direction. We have been coming to the island for 25 years, stay for 5 weeks and never realized what an ideal location it is located in. If we had any questions during our stay, the owner was very helpful and readily available. Caretaker readily available if we had any problems. The house was cozy, well stocked and very functional, with a nice big yard and back patio, as well as small deck off one of bedrooms. Two car driveway was nice when you have guests over. We are looking forward to returning next year.

The Cove was a peaceful retreat and had everything we needed. My two young daughters loved playing in the front and back yard and the fence created a safety boundary. The Cove is located on a side street which is calm and quiet but close to everything. There is only one parking spot available. The owners are kind and easy to reach. Would definitely recommend!

We have been coming to the island for several years and the last home we had been renting for multiple summers was sold over the winter and was not available for rent this past summer. As we started looking for a new home that could accommodate our group, a family of 5 (+ 9 y/o Golden), 1 set of grandparents, and our au pair, we stumbled across the Cove. As we were choosing between properties, we had a lot of questions and Alex (owner) was awesome, following up with us and answering every last one.

The Cove was perfect for our large group. Once we arrived, we enjoyed morning coffee, apres beach cocktails, and lawn games on the Cove's "grand lawn". In the evenings we split our time between hosting dinners in the backyard garden and playing board games and Uno in the family room and dining room. The wet bar in the dining room is a nice luxury to have. The one day it rained we hunkered down in the tv room and binge watched our favorite shows on Netflix.

You can't ask for a better location. You are a quick 10 minute walk into town, a short distance from the bike paths, and if you wish to venture to other parts of the island, being off of lower Orange allows you easy access to routes that will take you to Sconset, Surfside, mid-island, Cisco, Madaket, and Cliff. And if you need some milk or sugar for your morning coffee or hershey bars and gram crackers for SMORES, Cumberland Farms is a 3 minute walk while Stop and Shop is about a 10 minute walk.

Alex is very responsive, super organized and made our stay at the Cove extremely enjoyable. The Cove is clean, very well maintained, and bright; it includes everything you need to feel right home or to entertain guests. It was exactly as described! We look forward to staying at the Cove again next summer.

Excellent all-around vacation experience for our family of adults. Good location, fenced in beautifully landscaped yard for coffee & cocktails, fresh & airy, clean and bright. Nice dining room with bar. Very comfortable. We had loads of fun!

Thank you!

Lovely first time visit to Nantucket from Florida! We had a wonderful time in autumn as a family with our children and baby grandson. I only wish it could have been longer. Great house location with on-property parking for 2 vehicles on a quiet and quaint street close to town. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll to town in 15 minutes admiring all the beautiful homes on the way. We all enjoyed sitting on the front yard with our coffee/wine on the Adirondacks and a blanket for the baby.  Your home being set back from the street makes it ideal to sit and enjoy the lovely garden. There is also a secluded backyard area with a lovely herb garden, Adirondacks and teak dining set which were perfect for enjoying our lunch from Something Natural.  Loved the cozy little cottage in the back too.

The house was impeccably clean and supplied with clean bed linens, blankets and towels. The kitchen, although compact, was very well stocked with more equipment and supplies than we could actually use (nice to have if needed). The spacious and well appointed dining room with French door to the back patio worked great for meals at home. The wet bar and mini fridge were ideal to store wine, as well as the local beers from Cisco Brewers which were super popular with our adult children. Your recommendation for the take-home lobster meals from nearby Sayle's Seafood was a HUGE HIT for my son's 30th birthday!   So much so that it was repeated a second time during our stay!

Nantucket is truly captivating. We will be back! We enjoyed walking and exploring the surrounding streets and nearby beaches. Our stay was truly memorable!  You have a lovely home. show more show less
