Booking Your Dream Rental

It’s important to start with the most crucial element–your rental. When looking for the perfect accommodation, consider your proximity to the island’s attractions.

Navigating Transportation to the Island

Nantucket’s charm is heightened by its unique accessibility–exclusively by plane or ferry. To ensure a smooth journey, book your tickets well in advance. With reservations for summer now open, Nantucket Steamship Authority is your go-to resource.

Arriving by ferry? You’ll disembark in the heart of town, offering convenience for those with cars or those seeking transportation to their rentals. If your home isn’t immediately ready upon arrival, consider unwinding from a day of travel at local favorites like Corner Table Cafe, conveniently located near the ferry terminal.

Flying in? You’ll touch down just outside of the downtown area, where taxis, Ubers, or rental cars await to whisk you away to your home away from home.

Exploring Nantucket

Your bags are unpacked, and you’re ready to embrace the Nantucket experience. The island offers stunning beaches, renowned restaurants, charming shops, and breathtaking views. I encourage you to take in a sunset at Madaket, and immerse yourself in the rich history of Nantucket at the Whaling Museum.

Whether you’re seeking relaxing days on the beach, delicious meals, or a walk through history on the cobblestone streets, Nantucket truly has something for everyone. Your summer adventure awaits 30 miles out to sea…reach out today and let’s plan an escape you’ll never forget!
