The lower level, tiled mudroom entry welcomes you and houses your own private laundry facilities. The bright upper level, main floor living space is accessible via an interior staircase off the mudroom, or via an external staircase that leads to a second entrance off the cottage’s private-use sun deck. The apartment’s interior is centrally climate-controlled (AC and heat).

The upper-level living space is comprised of (a) a well-equipped, full kitchen with granite countertops and modern stainless steel appliances, including a fridge with ice maker, a Bosch dishwasher and a solid surface electric cooktop and range with oven hood, as well as an array of small appliances (automatic coffee maker, microwave and toaster ovens, and electric can opener); (b) a modern, custom-built marble/tile bathroom with rain/hand shower controls, integrated vanity and commode; (c) a sleeping area with a comfy King bed with Beautyrest mattress, nightstands, tall dresser and spacious clothes closet; and (d) comfortable recently updated sitting area furniture where you can enjoy cable TV and separate WiFi with a drop-leaf dining table and Windsor chairs. All customary housewares and linens (including pots, pans, roaster and bakeware, bedding, etc., added recently) are provided with your rental.

Outside you can relax on your private-use sun deck with dining set, umbrella, lounge chairs and side tables. A barbecue grill is provided also. The oversized, red cedar outdoor shower w/thermostatic stainless controls is shared with the main house. If you plan to bring or rent a vehicle during your stay, you will have exclusive use of an off-street parking space.

This premier island retreat is all you'll ever need in a quiet, in-town neighborhood, that is a mere ~10-minute scenic stroll to the Island’s many Main Street shops, restaurants, bars, museums and entertainment venues. Tuck’t in Back Cottage is also close to the island's main grocery and convenience stores and other shops, restaurants, nightlife, theaters, harbor, bike paths and beaches. Additionally, beach equipment (chairs, chaises, umbrellas and towels) is provided during your stay.

Quality amenities at an affordable price compared to other options on Nantucket Island!

Great short getaway

We decided at the last minute to takeoff for a couple of days to celebrate my retirement. Jeffrey was very accommodating and helpful. The written instructions about check-in were clear, the place was adorable and immaculate and private, complete with the most gorgeous fresh flowers that he cut from his garden! Close but not too close to town. It was really everything that we could have asked for.

Beautiful location!

David and Jeffrey were incredibly kind hosts! Our room had fresh cut flowers from their garden and we were greeted with a smile when parking. The location is amazing if you’re looking for a hidden local treasure and walking distance to downtown.

An island gem!

We’ve never been to Nantucket before, and this spot was one of the best decisions we made! Perfectly located in the center of pretty much everything–10 minute walk to downtown and all the shops and restaurants, less than 10 minutes to the island’s live music venue, The Chicken Box, and super close to the beach too (although we Ubered there). The apartment itself was spacious, private, beautiful, and clean. Plus, an awesome outdoor shower. Jeffrey and David were incredible hosts. Accessible, communicative, and so so kind. Overall, one of our favorite vacations to date! Can’t wait to come back and would definitely stay here again.

Great stay at Tuck’t in Back!

We had a great stay at Tuck’t in Back. It’s the cutest apartment above a garage with an awesome porch. Inside is incredibly well equipped, with anything you should need. And the hosts make it very clear that they are available if you need to borrow anything from the main house. The outdoor shower is simply picturesque and a lovely feature. Had the pleasure of meeting our host on the way out! Would love to stay again!

Perfection!!

My mom and I chose Nantucket for a mother/daughter weekend getaway and I could not be happier I chose Tuck’t in Back for our accommodations. Everything from the amenities to the location to the attentiveness from the owners was absolutely a 10/10. It was so clean, comfortable, and staying there truly made us feel like we were on vacation and didn’t have a care in the world. Thank you so much, Jeffrey and David!

Clean, comfy and convenient cottage!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Tuck’t in the Back cottage. The check in process was seamless and the cottage was immaculate. It had everything we could need for our long weekend and the bed was very comfortable. We really appreciate Jeffrey and David’s helpful guides and info to explore Nantucket. The resources provided and attention to detail were top notch. The location was great - only a short walk to town. For times we explored other neighborhoods on the island, having our own parking spot to return to was a great convenience throughout the weekend. We look forward to returning in the future!

Tuck’t in Back is the perfect place to stay for a couple. The location was perfect and we were able to ride our bikes or walk everywhere we wanted to go. The cottage itself was extremely clean and comfortable. We especially loved the outdoor shower and the central air! Jeffrey and David had the cottage stocked with everything we could have possibly needed (beach chairs, towels, laundry detergent, etc.). We highly recommend Tuck’t in Back for your next trip and to Nantucket and we hope to visit again soon!
