A really nice place in great location

Beautiful house and perfectly equipped, although the classic old stairs might intimidate some. An actual parking space and nice yard. Close to heart of town but quiet street.

Girls Trip to Nantucket

The property was super clean and comfortable! The stairs could be a challenge (due to the age of the house). The bathrooms were great for 3 of us but would have been uncomfortable for a larger group. There are basically no bathrooms downstairs as the toilet room on the first floor is smaller than an airplane restroom. I would stay at this house again with the number of people we had on our trip. The property manager was great! I had planned on using the washer and dryer but it was not in working order while we were there.

Loved our stay

Loved this sweet, pretty and classic cottage on a beautiful street. It is an easy walk to town (we had 3 kids) but the street itself is quiet. There was plenty of space for our family of 5. We didn’t cook during our stay but the kitchen had everything you could need as well.

Nantucket Family vacation/wedding

16 Pleasant was a beautiful home and a great location to walk to town, many restaurants and several different beaches easily. It was very easy to reach Amelia with questions and we appreciated being able to leave our luggage when arriving on island before check in. Perfect family house for our vacation.

Perfect location!!

We had a wonderful stay here! The house is old and charming kept up nicely. Plenty of sleeping space and 2.5 bathrooms is a nice perk in a small cape. I appreciated how well stocked the house was. We had a minor issue with the heating and Amelia and the caretaker, Frank were so responsive and helpful! Frank came over at 8pm on a Sunday and made sure the issue was fixed ASAP. He even brought an extra down comforter for my daughter. Location is perfect - a short walk into town. Cannot be beat!!
