Welcome to The Cove!
Built in 1929, our lovely old Nantucket home is located in Nantucket town. It is a 6/10 mile walk down Orange Street to the heart of downtown. Just across Union Street, about four blocks away, you'll find the sandy shore of the harbor with gorgeous views of the entire harbor and grassy wetland. Walk the 3/10 mile to Francis Street Beach on the harbor, 6/10 mile to Children’s beach, or 1.5 miles to Steps Beach.
No need to bring a car, as all of the restaurants, shopping, museums, and sights of Nantucket town are just a 15-minute walk away. You’ll be an easy 10-minute walk away from the Stop & Shop Grocery store, and just a five minute walk will get you to Henry’s Junior for delicious sandwiches, Hatch’s for liquor and beer, Cumberland Farms convenience store, or Sayle’s seafood for some of the best seafood on the island.
Open to the entryway, the living room has vaulted ceilings, television with cable, and comfortable seating. The galley kitchen is small but well-appointed, and leads out to the back patio and cottage. A full bath with bathtub, located off the kitchen, serves the downstairs. There is a bedroom with queen bed, closet, and front-facing windows downstairs, as well as a spacious dining room and wet bar complete with a bar sink and small refrigerator.
The staircase at the front of the house leads you directly into a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and twin beds, which can become a king bed if desired. The adjoining upstairs full bath with tub is accessible through and open to this bedroom. A new laundry room with full-sized washer and drier was added to this upstairs room in 2022. Also upstairs, another bedroom with vaulted ceilings has a king bed and opens onto a covered balcony overlooking the back patio with seating for two. There is ample closet space in this bedroom as well.
The adorable little cottage in the back has a queen bed with air conditioning, power outlets, and storage/closet space. There is not a bathroom or running water in the cottage.
The Cove has the only front yard on the street, recently redone and surrounded by a lovely perimeter of hydrangeas, perennial flowers, and grasses. It is furnished with Adirondack chairs in the shade of two big trees, so you can sit and enjoy your coffee in the morning or relax with a glass of wine after a day at the beach. We also have bricked off-street parking for one car in the front.
There is a partially shaded bluestone patio in the back, surrounded by wooden fence covered in climbing hydrangea, with an outdoor shower, a gas grill, an herb garden, and a large teak table to seat 8 with a canvas umbrella. Bistro lights hang overhead for charming evening lighting.
We have high speed internet that works throughout the home. The house is equipped with sheets, quilts, extra blankets and pillows, bath towels, beach towels for six, beach chairs, two coolers for beach trips, a Keurig, a regular drip coffee maker, and a Ninja blender. There is also a service set of Vietri dinnerware in the dining room for dinners at home.
We have an excellent cleaning crew who clean the home from top to bottom before each rental. If you would like the house cleaned during your rental, this can be arranged with the cost added to the weekly rate.
Alex will be very quick to respond with any questions or concerns, and we have a wonderful on-island caretaker who will be available if needed as well.
Pets considered on a case-by-case basis. Please note that pets should not be allowed to ''do their business'' in the yard, but should be walked off premises.
From the second week of June through the end of the second week in September, rentals are one week minimum, and are Saturday to Saturday (sometimes flexible!). Otherwise, shorter stays are possible, and pricing will be pro-rated from the listed weekly cost. read more show less
