Great spot with lots of space!

We had a wonderful time at the Top of Main! The location is great for short walks into town. There is plenty of space in the house and the cottage for sleeping and for enjoying each others company! The owners are fantastic at communicating and so accommodating.

Family of 10 from 16 months to 74. We loved the location, easy walk to downtown, very homey, and host was so gracious and accommodative. Lots of room for our multi-generational group to spread out. We will definitely return.

Inaccurate and misrepresentation of accommodations

In short, this listing is inaccurate. All of the spaces listed were not inhabitable. 2 of the spaces (the cottage and red room) were uninhabitable due to high moisture/dampness levels requiring us to empty dehumidifiers several times a day. Additionally, there were several plug in air fresheners making it offensive and concerning. We were counting on these spaces given the size of our family. After much effort and no success in our search for an alternate location, we had to divide our family and relocate some to a hotel. It was very disappointing to say the least and took time out of our one week stay. After much back and forth with the owner/host we have had no resolution. We have been spending time on Nantucket for many years as a family.

Family work / play on-island

Top O Main is a beautiful, clean, older room with great accommodations and convenient location to walk downtown or driving around island! Beds are comfortable and house as all you need. Kitchen is excellent - serving a larger family. Lovely patio area with outside shower (a must on Nantucket!).

the perfect place for our family wedding gathering

WOW, just WOW! The place is spacious; furniture, especially beds, are super comfortable; state-of-the-art appliances; all the plates, utensils, pots/pans you could ever need; cute, relaxing courtyard! Lots of gathering spaces for our large group to enjoy. Easy walk to town or hop on The Wave transport that stops nearby. The owners are super helpful and responsive. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
