Walk to Town! Bike or Bus to Beach! Charming Cottage- Leeward- on Private Lane

Located on a private lane just a short walk to town and easy access to bike I paths on and beaches, our property is a quintessential Nantucket getaway. Our property consists of two cottages, duplex style, with separate entrances and decks and a large shared yard (see listing #994545 for our other cottage). There is also a separate studio on the property that the owners use occasionally.

Cottage A (Leeward) has two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and main living room with efficient kitchen and living space. The first bedroom has a full size bed, and the second bedroom has two twin beds. The deck overlooks the large shared, nicely landscaped yard, and with comfortable outdoor furniture and a Weber gas grill. There is also ample off-street parking. Quality linens are included and beach chairs, beach towels and a small cooler are available for your use. Just bring yourself! The cottage is equipped for 4 persons and our occupancy limits are strict.

If traveling with small children, we can help connect you with a local rental company that can provide anything else you might need. We do not maintain bikes for guest use but please ask about local rentals!

Kitchen is efficiently updated with an LG refrigerator, compact stove, microwave and a dishwasher. Everything that you would need for a week's getaway is provided.

The bathroom features marble floors and tile walls with a modern glass shower surround.

Outside you will find a large professionally landscaped yard and a large outside shower. The outside shower features hot water and a dressing area for privacy.

While just a short walk to Main Street for shopping and restaurants along with the harbor area- the cottage is down a secluded lane that is quiet and a great place to relax.

WiFi and a flat screen TV with Cable TV are provided.

There are security cameras located on the end of the Cottage B overlooking the driveway area and on the exterior of Cottage C overlooking the yard immediately in front of that cottage. The cameras are monitored by the hosts. There is a motion-activated light to illuminate the driveway after dark (the light turns on temporarily and then turns off automatically). The walkway is lit by solar-powered landscape lighting and there is an exterior light at the front door. Please let us know if you have any questions about these features.

In July and August, we rent by the week, Friday to Friday. Inquire about a monthly rental at a reduced rate and no lodging tax (rental period must be more than 31 days).

As the rental season is short, we have a strict cancellation policy. We recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance to mitigate the risk of disruption due to illness (including COVID), transportation issues, etc. We will try to work with you in the case of extreme circumstances but may not be able to in every situation. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.

Idyllic Mom Break

We had a lovely time celebrating our 40th birthdays and taking a Mom break at this beautiful property! Clean and comfortable, we could walk into town easily. Kendra was a delight to work with, super responsive, and flexible as we arrived earlier than expected. Such a gem - we will be back for sure!

Perfect Stay

The cottage was perfect, clean and impeccably maintained. Everything we needed was there and everything from the linens to the beach chairs and beach towels were good quality and like new. The yard and gardens were well manicured and even though it was a 3 home property, we had great privacy. Our host was quick to respond to the one question we had during the week! We will stay there again for sure. We loved it!!!!

Perfect Rental!

This property was perfect for a couple. The yard was stunning, and we especially enjoyed the deck and outdoor shower. The cottage itself had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. We had a car and appreciated having a parking spot for the week! Even with a car, we opted to walk to town a few times each day as the walk was both beautiful and quick. This was our favorite rental we’ve stayed in in Nantucket and would recommend this property to anyone! We would love to stay again.

The cottage was exactly as it was advertised. The location is excellent and the garden was beautiful. The hosts were very responsive when we needed them The place is very well supplied. My only suggestion would be to get new, better quality pillows for the beds. We highly recommend the cottage! We hope to return

We can't wait to go bACK!

Boyers Ally is a gem! It was the perfect space for my family both indoors (where we spent a rainy day) and outdoors enjoying the deck and beautiful yard. We truly felt like we were staying at home having all the amenities needed from being able to cook a meal (fully functional kitchen and grill) or head out for a day at the beach (chairs, towels, cooler). The home is beautifully decorated and quiet despite being in a central location. Very easy to get into town or go in the other direction for another shopping center that has everything you need. Communication was easy and clear and the home was very clean. We'll be back!

From the moment we arrived we loved this cottage! Gorgeous gardens (the little bunnies were an added treat!), lovely outside deck, private, 12/13 minute walk to town and such nice home decor! The kitchen has everything you’ll need, as well as a beautiful washer/dryer, beach towels and chairs. We couldn’t have been happier with this property! Oh, and the owner is amazing! Very quick responses, kind and understanding! A 6 out of 5 stars!!

Fantastic property!

The photos do not do this lovely cottage justice - it’s just perfect. Modern amenities, whistle clean, comfortable beds and bedding, and stunning outdoor deck and grounds. Interior is stocked with everything you need, including beach towels and chairs. It is a very easy 15 minute stroll into town. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Additionally, the owners responded immediately to our queries prior to arrival.
