Family Perfect

My wife and two U-12 boys rented this property the last week of July, 2009. We found the rental via the web, and the owner was very responsive and personable. Better yet, we found the property to be everything it was promised to be.
We have spent five previous summer weeks on Nantucket. The charm and relaxation of the place, which begins the moment you board the ferry, speaks for itself to anyone who has been there.
Our Nantucket Rental requirements are straight-forward. We want to be walking distance to a beach with surf, clean (no gubs), affordable, with an outdoor shower, washer and dryer, and privacy. This place hit on every point.
The house is at the end of a private drive with a large private yard. Our boys could ride their bikes to the beach in under two minutes while we lagged behind in five, and the traffic and pace of the location allowed us to feel comfortable with that separation.
The upside-down house has an open second floor, and this is where you will spend all your time indoors. The balcony has sound and ocean views, with a gas-grill to cook any fish you catch. Our boys loved sleeping in the steep-ladder-climb up loft with it's tree-house effect.
The house comes with six good-quality adult bicyles, simple beach chairs, and nice beach towels, which cuts down on packing. The kitchen is no-frills, with an electric stove, linoleum counter-top, and dishwasher, but it gets the job done, and anyone with kids appreciates eating-in most nights when you're away for a week.
Town and shopping are a short drive or bike-ride away, even for the kids.
In short, this property had everything we were loooking for, and nothing we were'nt. We will be back.
