Half Shell is total delight
This is a very comfortable, beautifully furnished in coastal style property. Fully equipped, nice linens and towels.
It is helpful to rent bikes or have a car as it’s a solid 15 minute walk to the heart of “Town”. Lovely base for exploring the island.

Wonderful, modern, and well located
Just a beautiful updated cottage located close to town! It was peaceful and well appointed. Conveniently located within a 15 minute walk to Main Street and across the street from wave nrta bus stop. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Nestled in Nantucket
A lovely cottage whose charming decor gives you a taste of the island. All things were in working order and comfortable. The location is less than a mile from town and very close to paddle board rental where you can explore the seashell shore. I would stay again.
