**BACKDROP FOR A PERFECT NANTUCKET VACATION**
Submitted: September 12, 2012
Stayed: August 2012
Where to begin.....we got very lucky and managed to book a week at this cottage due to a cancellation. Otherwise the cottage is always rented for the entire summer! It was our first visit to Nantucket...we have always vacationed in Chatham, and were looking for something a little different.This house was perfect for our family of two adults and four children ages 7-14. The location was perfect , close to everything! Monomoy beach is just a short walk to the beach access, although we often hopped in the car for a quick drive to Surfside where the kids rode huge waves for hours each day! We ran every morning on the bike path just across the street, had coffee on the peaceful back deck while the kids played in the yard. The cottage is in a small U shaped cul de sac off the main road, so we never had to worry about traffic or the kids being safe, and there was plenty of room to spread out. The furnishings in the home were great, comfortable beds, seating at dining table, plenty of outdoor seating. Two full baths enabled us to get everyone showered and ready to go easily. The laundry in the master bath was such a nice and convenient bonus! When we arrived at the house it was clean, and loaded with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. The owner even supplies basic cleaning products and paper products, which was convenient, and replenished before we left. I could have cooked all of our meals right there with a fully stocked kitchen and a two minute drive to Stop and Shop ( pharmacy, Downylake (yum).....BUT there are too many great places to see and eat that we didn't have time to cook! We did pick up a birthday cake at nantucket bakery that was awesome and celebrated one of the kids birthdays! There were beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards...although we did buy 4 and leave them at the cottage ~ Andrew the owner of the house was such a pleasure to work with, offered many suggestions and ideas to make our trip wonderful. It is the kind of place you walk into and feel right at home. As we told Andrew, the hardest part of our entire summer........was LEAVING!! Can't wait to return......oh , and one week is not nearly long enough!!!
Owner's Response: We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and that you wiill return in the future! You are absolutely correct that one week is just not enough. While it is certainly enough time to unwind and disconnect it leaves you longing for more... It is truly our hope that our guests will treat our cottage as their summer home and that they will return year after year. Each year staying a little longer than the year prior and each year adding to the lasting memories of family vacations spent on Nantucket. Thanks for choosing our home we look forward to many future returns.
