About this property

DOWNTOWN NANTUCKET, sleeps up to 12! Newly remodeled whaling captain’s house

Historic Skyemoor, originally built in 1694, is one of the 50 oldest houses on the island. Built by the Macy family, who arrived on Nantucket with the first settlers, Skyemoor is steeped in island history and culture, played host to Herman Melville and others, as well as served as the home of wealthy Whaling Captains throughout Nantucket’s whaling golden age.

Today, Skyemoor is the perfect family home, having been tastefully and carefully renovated to provide modern conveniences without losing its antique roots. The house sits high up on Main Street, at the head of town and central to all that Nantucket has to offer. Charming shops, fine dining restaurants, and beautiful beaches are all just steps away. Experience Nantucket the way the island is meant to be, with an appreciation for her beauty, a nod to the past, and from the comfort of a welcoming and grand family home.

Floor Plan

First Floor: Living Room, fireplace, dining room with a table for 8 and room for extra seating. A gourmet kitchen with Wolf stove, Miele appliances, an island with seating, and pantry.
One queen bedroom, a hallway full bathroom, and another bedroom with a full bed, a pullout twin bed and ensuite bathroom.

Second Floor: One Queen bedroom overlooks the beautiful back garden. Another bedroom with two twin beds. These two rooms share a full bathroom in the hall, complete with a shower, washer & dryer. A luxurious master bedroom suite has its own soaking tub and shower.

Third Floor: 2 twin trundle beds and an ensuite full bathroom with a shower.

The house has a private garden accessible only to Skyemoor. Skyemoor has an attached cottage that shares a wall with the main house, and runs down the side street of Gardner Avenue. The cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and depending on the time of year, it can be let along with the main house to provide a total of 9 bedrooms for large groups or families. Most of the time the back cottage is let to respectful island professionals who have limited contact with anyone from the main house, as their entrance is separate.

2 off street parking spots on Gardner Avenue behind the house
2 additional cribs are available if needed
WiFi
6 Bedrooms
5 Full Bathrooms
Outside Garden with grill and furniture. In order to keep this house pet friendly, please be sure to let us know if you plan to bring a dog. We have a dog fee that goes directly to a separate cleaner and we need to be sure to schedule the pet cleaner in advance if you plan to bring a dog. In addition, for liability’s sake, please be sure to disclose the total number of people in your booking. We don’t charge per person, so it won’t affect your rate, we just need to know as part of our booking management process. Thanks for understanding and enjoy your time on Nantucket!

**Please note, in the event we are booked during your desired dates, we have another 6 bedroom property in the neighborhood, just West of Town. We don't have the link active yet so please DM us if interested!

Beautiful home close to town
While the weather on Nantucket was not cooperative, we had an amazing time thanks in part to this beautiful home! It was in the perfect location and had everything we needed. Lina was easy to contact and always responded promptly. I would highly recommend her home for anyone traveling to Nantucket, and hope to stay there again when I return!!

Beautiful historic home for family to stay for our daughter’s wedding.
Beautifully renovated home with first floor open floorplan. Bathrooms are modern and kitchen well stocked with cookware and accessories for cooking family meals. Host immediately responded to a question. Lovely backyard area. Wonderful location in town and in an area of many stately historic homes. Would highly recommend if you need a larger home.

Charming, luxurious, and spacious
The house was very charming, with an authentic history that you can feel, down to the classic latch doorknobs. Still the house was tastefully appointed with the modern luxuries you'd associate high-end stay. An amazing chef's kitchen, an oversized dining room table, a cozy living room looking out over Monument Square. The primary bedroom was also huge, with an impressive en suite that included a walk-in shower and tub. We had 2 couples and 2 children, but the house easily sleeps 4 couples in the four rooms with larger beds, plus 6 kids in the remaining two rooms, including a 3rd floor attic style room with 4 single beds (and a bathroom) that the kids loved. The backyard was also a great sized space for being so close to town, which was less than a ten minute walk down Main St to reach all the restaurants and bars. The house's location at the top of Main St. also allowed for an easy drive out of town to do beaches, Cisco, etc. since you didn't have to deal with the congestion of driving through town. The host was extremely responsive, including letting us know about the 8 beach chairs and some kids' beach toys in the shed for us to use. Overall, the place exceeded all of our expectations and we'd be eager to return soon with an even larger group given how accommodating the house is. Highly recommend!

Wonderful week in a wonderful house!
The perfect location for two families with small kids (4.5, 2.5, and 2) who wanted to walk into town for ice cream every night! We absolutely loved our stay at Skyemoor. The house is beautiful and in wonderful condition, with a well-stocked kitchen, new amenities, lovely bathrooms, and nice bedrooms. We were a bit bummed there aren't two primary bedrooms that allow for two couples to feel they're in equal accommodations, but we made it work. The house comes with two OFF STREET parking spaces (so nice!!), comfy beach chairs, lots of beach towels, a grill, and a cute little outdoor space for letting the kids run around. Easiest check in / check out ever and super convenient in every way. We can't wait to come back!!!

Wonderful
We loved everything about this house - the beautifully way it was renovated, the owners' choice of furniture, even the linens. Everything was immaculate and because the owner left so many decorative items, plus board games, books, etc. throughout the house, it felt like a true family home. The house is large - 6 bedrooms - and perfectly accommodated our family of seven. Everyone had their own bedrooms, important for teenagers. Our 16-year-old grandson loved the attic loft. The master suite is amazing and the bathroom is magazine-worthy. The kitchen is a show-stopper (beamed ceiling, Wolf range) and the long table perfect for our few family dinners. The house is so close to town ( 3 - 5 minute walk) that we ate out often but a true chef would love this kitchen. In addition, the owner was very nice and responsive. Honestly, our stay could not have been better. We would definitely rent again. 5 stars!

My husband and I bought this gem of a House in 2020 and spent the last two years renovating it. This is our private vacation home, and we love spending time here as a family.

Why they chose this property

The location couldn't be better. The kids are walking distance to the whaling museum, Children’s beach & kid’s attractions. Adults are walking distance to shopping, restaurants, the harbor, parks and all the beauties Nantucket has to offer.
We hope that your time in our house will make you as happy as it makes us and that you will be able to create beautiful memories.
