Classic Beach House on a Beautiful Beach!

What a pleasure it was staying at this beautiful beach house! Amazingly situated right off the beach. Feels like you’re staying at a friend’s home that has been in the family for generations. So rich in its decor and comfortable. The outdoor shower was a delight. Feels like you’re part of the coast. Hope to come back again soon :)

Valleys & Views Nantucket

The panoramic views of the mighty Atlantic from all of the living areas of this house make it one of the most special beach houses on Nantucket. We love Madequecham Valley due to its remoteness yet it’s not too far from Nantucket town, the village of Sconset and grocery stores, Meat & Fish, tennis clubs and golf courses. Looking forward to securing this house in the future!

A+ location

The location of the house is incredible...right on the beach with private stair access. You are right next to the airport but it didn't bother us at all really. The home could certainly use some upkeep and better cleaning/maintenance, but the beach location made it so that we really enjoyed our stay

Incredible Nantucket Home!

Tough to beat this house on Nantucket! Essentially have a private beach and a house with an absolutely beautiful deck that wraps around the whole house. I would say the pictures don't do this place justice - it's even better inside. We would 100% stay again.

Unbelievable Location!

Beautiful panoramic views of the ocean from nearly every room in the house. It’s a bit of a drive down a dirt road so getting a cab may be tricky, but took about 13 minutes to get to from town. Steps down to a beach with no one else around. House was clean and beds comfortable - would absolutely return.

Perfect Location!!!

I loved that I had private access to a beautiful clean beach. We saw a single seal swim across our beach just before sunset every day. It was quiet and private. I loved the location. We had plenty of supplies for beach fun and the grill came in handy! I hope the owners will communicate with their cleaners, or hire a new service. If they do this will be a 10 out of 10.

Beach Stey

Madequecham is a wonderful place. Vacasa did a nice job getting the house clean and ready. The bedrooms are a little bit musty, but they got better with open windows and doors. The house is updated in some areas, but not all. The mattresses were really hard and not very comfortable.. It’s a very nice property, but not quite a five star

Summer 23

Lovely home, private beach, had a great time. People should be aware that the airport is next to the property so there is noise from takeoff's & landings, fairly frequent, however it does not spoil the stay. Due to closeness of the beach the first floor was damp including the sheets and any clothing but you can use the dryer. A dehumidifier might help. Overall a great location and home.

Quintessential Nantucket family retreat

This was our second stay on Nantucket. The first was The White Elephant in the heart of town which was a beautiful hotel. However, like most ‘in-town’ hotels the room space was a bit cramped; it was very crowded, and although it was a very Nantucket experience, it was a bit obviously synthetic and sanitized. The trip we opted to go more authentic and ‘Valleys and Views’ did not disappoint. This home is a proper Nantucket ‘outside of town’ ocean-front family retreat. From the quintessential 1.5-mile unpaved road to get to the property to the serene totally private beach it was pure island peace. Entering the house has a bit of a déjà vu coming home feel. Every piece of furniture, painting and print on the walls, books and eclectic memorabilia felt like it took decades to assemble with love and each and every piece has to have a great story behind it. If hotels in town are a bit synthetic, this place was pure organic Nantucket. The home is nearly 50 years old and like classic old boat it has a few creeks, but to us that only added to its charm. When we arrived, the house was well equipped and very clean. We had a small glitch (again, this is not a hotel), however the property manager was incredible responsive and we had a perfect stay over the next week with a balanced mix of beach sunny days, cool breezes and even classic ‘Lady Gray’ foggy mist. Even though you’re only 15 minutes to downtown (even less to Sconset) you will need a car as it’s very private and a couple miles to get in and out. If you do stay, leave your sound machine home as open doors from the bedroom and open family area allow 24/7 breezes and peaceful crashing ocean wave sounds a constant…

The scenery was lovely but Vacasa’s service was poor and the home’s amenities were lacking

I booked through VRBO and Vacasa served as the property manager. Numerous things were wrong with this property. The master bed was stiff as the floor—I only slept on it 2 out of 5 nights. The other 3 nights I slept on the couch. The pillows were thin, misshapen, and all around terrible. Spiders and bugs were everywhere. They were stingy with toilet paper—so much so that I had to use silverfish-infested toilet paper when we ran out late at night the day before we checked out. Disgusting. The kitchen pantry reeked of mothballs; every time we opened the pantry door to access the trash or recycling we held our breath. But the worst was that we had no hot water for 3 days—2 full days after notifying Vacasa! The day we arrived, the water was warm so we thought the water heater temperature was turned too low. By the second day, all water was cold. I contacted Vacasa that afternoon. For 2 days, despite following up 4 times to the local number AND the chat on the main website, no one showed up to check the hot water heater. 36 hours before we left, someone from Vacasa finally reached out and had the local caretaker call us. He came out to the house shortly after calling and reset the hot water heater. The person from Vacasa who contacted us twice texted that Vacasa would make it right and compensate us for the issue. Not surprisingly, they’ve dropped the ball and gone dark again. Beware if you end up with a Vacasa rental—they do not take good care of their guests.
