About this property

Transferrable Ferry Reservations Available for July

This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, charming Nantucket home is minutes from popular Surfside Beach. Nestled in Beach Plum, a private residential community, white shelled lanes escort you to the property. It’s amenities and comforts offer a place for activities and restful vacationing. A large backyard offers serene privacy and lush landscaping unlike other homes in the area. In the yard, sit on the bluestone patio day or evening and enjoy comfortable patio furniture, grassy space for play and the grill for an evening of cooking in. Rinse off after a day at the beach or pool in the outdoor enclosed shower. The wrap around porch surrounding the home both draws you into the yard and allows for access into the living room and dining room. While enjoying a good book, your morning coffee at daybreak or an evening drink at sunset, you’ll soon be immersed in the splendor of Nantucket!

A garage offers storage for summer activity equipment and hosts beach chairs, a cooler and umbrella for your use. The home is less than 5 minutes by car to Surfside Beach or if you're adventurous, just minutes from bike paths that take you right to the beach. Alternatively, you can take the WAVE-the all island public bus-with a nearby shuttle stop. Surfside Beach has a bathhouse, restrooms, yummy beach shack, large parking lot and bike racks. In addition, you are only a 2-mile drive from quaint downtown Nantucket serving the foodie, shopper, art and history enthusiast alike. You can may also wish to take the WAVE downtown and avoid the hassle of parking.

Just across the street from the home is the Beach Plum Community Center with a heated infinity outdoor pool, playground, gym, and garden area with a gazebo. It’s the perfect spot for those times when you feel like being closer to your vacation home. The har-tru tennis court is on the other side of the development, but just a 3-4 minute walk.

Entering from the side of the house nearest to the garage, you’ll find a large mudroom with a half-bath, double storage closet and enclosed washer and dryer for your use. Take off your shoes and lighten your load-it's time to come in and relax!

Fresh linens, pillows, comforters, bath towels and beach towels are provided. Central air-conditioning and radiant wood floors are throughout the home. If you’re looking for a clean, smoke-free, finely maintained home, this one is for you!

Downstairs:
A large kitchen with new stainless appliances, granite center island with 3 stools and plentiful counter space; dishes, glassware, flatware, utensils, kid-friendly ware and cookware are provided. A separate large dining table seats 6 in fashionably cushioned high-backs with ample room for additional seating. The dining room opens to a nice sized family room with a gas fireplace, above mantle television, 2 couches and a comfy club chair and ottoman. The space is calming and welcoming with custom window blinds throughout. You may exit the home onto the wrap around porch from the living room or dining room, if needed.

An en-suite crisp blue and white appointed master bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan, smart TV, Serina and Lily nightstands and long dresser and double slider closets. With plenty of room, the bathroom has a double-wide glass enclosed tiled shower, two marble sinks and heat lamp. A unique feature is the two toilets separately enclosed-a his and hers!

Upstairs:
As you make your way up the staircase, a second family room has a comfortable Inside Weather couch with chaise, Serina and Lily coffee table and a club chair for television viewing, game playing or conversation-it's a great place for the kids. Or, a great place for you to find a quiet space!

An en-suite sunny master bedroom has a queen bed, ceiling fan, TV, dresser, nightstands and a double wide closet. The roomy, historic Nantucket color-inspired bathroom has both a glass enclosed double-wide tiled shower and large porcelain tub. Above the single marble sink is a heat lamp.

One bedroom has two sets of Pottery Barn bunk beds, separating nightstand, a long dresser and closest that is perfect for children or teens. The other bedroom has two twin-sized beds, ceiling fan, separating nightstand, dresser and closet that is perfect for adults, children or teens.

These two bedrooms share an adjacent bathroom with a glass enclosed double-wide tiled shower and one marble sink in a palette of Nantucket blues and greens.

Note: The address to the home is 4 Thistle Way, off of Blazing Star. The VRBO map location is “slightly off”. If you enter the address into Yahoo Maps, you can see accurate location. Also, the home has a two-car garage. You will have access to the garage, however there may be a car parked in the garage bay furthest from the house.

Best week in Nantucket !

A fantastic property with unique community that makes this so special. We are a family of 5 and have visited Nantucket in years past by staying at one of the large hotels on island. This year we rented for a week, and it was a wonderful experience. There was plenty of space, the house was clean and well equipped. We didn’t bring our car over (we didn’t book ferry in time) but it ended up being perfect because we had the chance to rent a jeep for the week instead and do drive on beaches, which we had never done on Nantucket. Outdoor shower was perfect for washing off sand; washer, dryer and dishwasher made things easy. Dana was reachable when I had questions and we look forward to coming back again. 5 stars!!

Perfect family spot

We had such a great time at this house - it was in a great location in the center of the island and the neighborhood was amazing. We used the pool and the gym every day, and walked to Roastd most days too :). My son played ball in the yard daily. Dana was an incredibly responsive host. Already want to plan next year!

Beautiful home in Nantucket

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Dana's beautiful home in Nantucket. We could not have asked for a more comfortable and relaxing home to enjoy our vacation. The house has a gorgeous yard and a great outdoor setup.

The perfect home!

Our family of 8 had the most wonderful time at this beautiful home! It couldn’t have been more perfect. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. With 4 large bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen and two cozy family rooms, everyone had their own space, but we spent most of our time outside in the beautiful backyard. It was very private and quiet. We spent most nights eating outside and talking around the fire pit. The location of this home was another highlight for our family. It was very close to Surfside beach and town center, we rode our bikes to each of them almost every day. I can wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful property and can’t wait until we stay again next year!

A Place to Feel at Home (Not Just Another Rental)

This home is warm and welcoming! It is a wonderful retreat for a family with its spacious and well stocked kitchen (which is larger than it appears in the online images), open floor plan, and perfect backyard. From the multiple bathrooms, to the generous sized bedrooms, it is designed to make you feel right at home and not in a rental. This place is enjoyed by Dana and her family in the summer as well and that makes a difference because it is not just another property that is looked after by a third party, it is a comfortable home full of everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. It was very, very clean as well. The showers had great water pressure. We also took advantage of the outside shower. The finishes in this home are beautifully done with nice window treatments and high-end, yet comfortable furnishings. Having a modern washer and dryer was incredibly convenient and much appreciated. The master bedroom is on the first floor and the other 3 bedrooms are on the second floor, this layout was nice for our family. This home is ideally located for quick and easy access to shopping areas and restaurants in town as well as Surfside Beach. We enjoyed the community features, especially the pool, which is a short walk away. The small neighborhood was perfect for peaceful walks. The long backyard was a great space to play games, our family enjoyed many rounds of cornhole. The lot is definitely one of the better ones in the neighborhood because of the private backyard. The backyard is one that you want to spend long periods of time relaxing in. It is lined with hydrangeas and tall hedges. The grill and outdoor furniture are high-end. The fire pit was another fun feature. Our family felt at home and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We’ve visited the island for many summers and this was the first time that we spent so much time at the rental home. When we departed the island at the end of our stay, we really did feel well rested because we enjoyed this comfortable home and our family time together in it. We give this beautiful home the highest marks possible and we are really looking forward to staying here again next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Battiston

Host profile image
Jake grew up spending his summers in Nantucket. I was always a Cape Cod girl! I started visiting Nantucket when Jake and I started dating and immediately fell in love with the island (and him). We were married in Nantucket in June 2018 and shortly after, Jake's parents sold their Madaket home. During the summer of 2019, we rented in Beach Plum with my parents, sister and her family and absolutely loved the area. We decided we needed a permanent piece of Nantucket and decided to purchase a home in Beach Plum so our three teenage boys could experience the same childhood memories as Jake had. We can only spend a couple weeks a summer on the island, so we have opened our house to renters - allowing others to experience the magic of Nantucket!
