Photos and Description of the Nantucket Town vacation house rental
4 BR, 2.5 BA, sleeps 8. 6 twins, 1 king bed. Twins can be made into king beds.

Windswept--aptly named--sits atop Mill Hill in Nantucket Town's Old Historic District on one acre facing a quiet, 18th-Century working windmill. WIndswept is a 10-minute delightful walk--only 2 turns--to shops, restaurants, theaters, beaches and a 2-minute walk to the Island-wide shuttle bus stop and bike paths. With Windswept's superb location, no car is necessary but it has two off-street parking spaces.

Families can enjoy Windswept alone or w/the nearby air-conditioned, secluded, romantic, and cheery one-bedroom house (see # 105380) for multigenerational reunions. This family compound sleeps 12.

Windswept has a wraparound porch with teak Adirondack chairs and ottomans, two picnic tables and benches, an eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, gigantic living room, mammoth master bedroom with sitting area, wireless Internet, spacious yards to play games and hold family sports tournaments, charcoal grill, stereo system, fireplace, Oriental rugs, outdoor shower and hardwood floors.

Windswept sits on one of Nantucket's highest points with views no other Island home has of the windmill, the harbor, ocean, bay, the town's church steeples and small forests on two sides. Tall windows make Windswept a light-filled, comfortable home. Butterflies and rabbits scamper about in large front and backyards.

Praise of Both Windmill Houses

Review Submitted: August 6, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
I would definitely stay here again. The location is great. We spent several afternoons enjoying champagne on the main house's well-appointed wraparound porch watching the sunset and enjoying the breeze in front of the windmill. Also, it's very easy to get into town (a 3-min. bike ride down the hill or a 10- minute walk), and returning up the hill is enough as to feel like it's a country estate. Both the main house (Windswept) and the nearby smaller house (In the Lee) were charming inside and out and very clean. Further, the houses were more than accommodating to our large group. We were at max occupancy--12--but it didn't feel like it. The houses make for a perfect base of operations for a fun Nantucket vacation with family or friends.

Returning Tenant Loves Home

Review Submitted: August 6, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Windswept is the best place to spend a vacation. I have rented Windswept for two years and will undoubtedly be going back for my third next summer. The wraparound porch with Adirondack chairs overlooking the historic windmill is perfection and where we spent many hours. The home is beautiful and filled with everything you need to make your Nantucket stay enjoyable, including great beach chairs which is always key. It is always impeccably clean and well-maintained. The rooms are all great, lots of sunlight and plenty of space. The location of the home can't be beat - you have a great lawn and lots of space and you're only minutes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

The owner takes great pride in the home and the satisfaction of the tenants. She will always ask for your pros/cons to make sure Windswept is even better for your next visit. The caretaker is great, as well - very nice, always available for questions and very helpful for tips on where to go around town.
