A Nantucket Weekend

Our group of 9 friends had the best time staying at Will's property in Nantucket. Will was very communicative and helpful leading up to our stay. The house is stunning and spacious. The location is ideal for walking to downtown or heading over to the beach. We would love to go back!

Well appointed

This is a well appointed house and perfect for a longer-term stay. The property owner is very communicative. We have been coming on island for many years and this house certainly checks all of the boxes (and then some). It’s very comfortable for a family - plenty of room to settle in and spread out.

40th Birthday Stay

I stay at Will's house with a group of friends for my 40th birthday and it was the perfect retreat! The house is in a great location close to town, brewery, beaches, etc. Will was very communicative during the process and helped suggest some chef's to do a private dinner at the house as well as a concierge service who helped arrange all the groceries. The house was plenty big enough for 9 adults and we enjoyed spending time in the enclosed porch in the evenings.

Christmas Stroll 2023

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home. The home is spacious, the amenities are all top of the line down to the bed linens. Our group enjoyed hanging in the living room off the kitchen where we were able to have morning coffee and late night drinks. We were very happy and would welcome the opportunity to return. The bonus was that you can walk to town very easily from the location.

Nantucket Escape

This is a beautiful home situated perfectly a short walk to town or a quick ride to Madaket and Cisco beaches. Our group had a lovely time and we took advantage of Will’s well appointed gourmet kitchen to have a couple of great meals in rather than fighting crowds at the restaurants in town. Will is the consummate host. Would love to come back any time.

Nantucket Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nantucket for the weekend. This home is outstanding in every respect: beautifully decorated, spacious rooms, immaculately cleaned, fully stocked kitchen and great location. Our host, Will, did a fantastic job communicating with us and provided us with detailed information about the house and the island in general. We had a few questions while we were there, and Will responded immediately. We highly recommend this house for any group wishing to stay on Nantucket with an easy walk into town.

A wonderful home away from home

“A whale of a time” is true to its name! Will is a great host. He was very accommodating, and was in contact ahead of, during and after our stay. The house was perfect for our 5 couples with plenty of amenities including beach chairs and towels! There’s a great kitchen /dining area. We made full use of the Sonos sound system! Spacious and comfortable family room(s). The master bedroom suite is quite luxurious! Easy walking to town and to Steps/ jetties beaches. We hope to return again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

Fantastic Rental

This home is a wonderful blend of style and comfort. Beautifully decorated, immaculate, and well stocked with amenities. Centrally located on the island (just north of the village). Extremely comfortable bedding. Especially enjoyed the bonus spaces - private living room, huge finished basement with additional family room, and a lovely screened porch! The owner was a pleasure to deal with - very responsive and helpful (be sure to take advantage of the informative House/Island Guide). Nantucket is enchanting and "Whale of a Time" is a fantastic rental - Highly Recommend!

Amazing Nantucket Home!

Stayed in many different homes on the island and this home is one of the nicest places we have stayed. The home is spectacular! It’s layout is perfect for a large family or group. There are several distinct “living spaces” and a wonderful hang out space in a beautiful basement- perfect for kids and teenagers! The furniture and appointments in the house are top notch and comfortable. A well stocked kitchen guarantees any cooks will not want for anything. The location is perfect. It is a very easy walk to town, and with taxis and Uber, longer adventures are all an easy ride. If you are looking for a Nantucket home this is a must rent!

Heaven on Earth!

I am an avid vacationer to dear Nantucket for family vacations and girls’ trips. This time was an all sisters and sister-in-laws for a 50th birthday celebration. Will was so responsive with any questions I had prior to our arrival, such as, delivery packages and a concierge service. He mailed me a key ahead of time just in case. The house was so quaint and just the perfect New England get-a-way. A complimentary bottle of wine with a personal note upon arrival, comfortable beds and linens, throw blankets, Sonos speakers, beach chairs, a guest book, etc. I’m always sad to leave Nantucket, but I’m excited to come back to the Hyland’s property and create many more memories! Thank you for everything - see you again soon!
