Walk to Town! Bike or Bus to Beach! Charming Cottage- Leeward- on Private Lane

Located on a private lane just a short walk to town and easy access to bike I paths on and beaches, our property is a quintessential Nantucket getaway. Our property consists of two cottages, duplex style, with separate entrances and decks and a large shared yard (see listing #994545 for our other cottage). There is also a separate studio on the property that the owners use occasionally.

Cottage A (Leeward) has two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and main living room with efficient kitchen and living space. The first bedroom has a full size bed, and the second bedroom has two twin beds. The deck overlooks the large shared, nicely landscaped yard, and with comfortable outdoor furniture and a Weber gas grill. There is also ample off-street parking. Quality linens are included and beach chairs, beach towels and a small cooler are available for your use. Just bring yourself! The cottage is equipped for 4 persons and our occupancy limits are strict.

If traveling with small children, we can help connect you with a local rental company that can provide anything else you might need. Also ask about bike rentals!

Kitchen is efficiently updated with an LG refrigerator, compact stove, microwave and a dishwasher. Everything that you would need for a week's getaway is provided.

The bathroom features marble floors and tile walls with a modern glass shower surround.

Outside you will find a large professionally landscaped yard and a large outside shower. The outside shower features hot water and a dressing area for privacy.

While just a short walk to Main Street for shopping and restaurants along with the harbor area- the cottage is down a secluded lane that is quiet and a great place to relax.

WiFi and a flat screen TV with Cable TV are provided.

There is a security camera located on the end of the cottage building (attached to Cottage B) overlooking the driveway area that is monitored by the hosts. There is also a motion-activated light in the same location to illuminate the driveway after dark (the light turns on temporarily and then turns off automatically). The walkway is lit by solar-powered landscape lighting and there is an exterior light at the front door. Please let us know if you have any questions about these features.

In July and August, we rent by the week, Friday to Friday. Inquire about a monthly rental at a reduced rate and no lodging tax (rental period must be more than 31 days).

As the rental season is short, we have a strict cancellation policy. We recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance to mitigate the risk of disruption due to illness (including COVID), transportation issues, etc. We will try to work with you in the case of extreme circumstances but may not be able to in every situation. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.

Great Columbus Day Weekend Visit!
We stayed in Cottage B for two nights over Columbus Day weekend with our dog and had a great trip. The cottage was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. It's a great location - short walks to everything - and the deck was perfect for sitting outside in the sun. We'd definitely stay here again!

This home was absolutely perfect for our stay. It was close to town, clean and exactly as described, I would actually say it was better in person, the photos didn't do it justice. Kendra and Phil were great to work with and I look forward to staying here again.

We LOVED our stay here in Nantucket. The cottage is absolutely adorable, impeccably clean and totally charming. We would 100% return! The house is an easy walk to town, and we enjoyed the strolls through all of the Nantucket side streets.

Everything we needed!
Property was perfect for our family of four! Nice home with yard and deck on a quiet street, while close to everywhere we wanted to be. Very clean and updated home. Close to historic district and most of everything you will want to see and do! Owners were very responsive with any questions, and check in was super easy! A+ property, we hope to stay here again!

Lovely cottage close to town!
The cottage was exactly as it was advertised. The location is excellent and the garden was beautiful. The hosts were very responsive when we needed them The place is very well supplied. My only suggestion would be to get new, better quality pillows for the beds. We highly recommend the cottage! We hope to return

Perfect Rental!
This property was perfect for a couple. The yard was stunning, and we especially enjoyed the deck and outdoor shower. The cottage itself had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. We had a car and appreciated having a parking spot for the week! Even with a car, we opted to walk to town a few times each day as the walk was both beautiful and quick. This was our favorite rental we’ve stayed in in Nantucket and would recommend this property to anyone! We would love to stay again.

Great first trip with a young family.
We just got back from 5 nights in Boyers Alley and the property was exactly what we were looking for. This was our first trip as a family of four (kids are 2 1/2 and 10 mos) and the property fit our needs perfectly. Close enough to Town to be able to walk in and enjoy, but also removed enough to relax while we were home. Also accessible to restaurants, the beach, the store, etc. The property was clean and comfortable. Kendra and Phil were great and very accommodating and were great to work with. We would definitely recommend this rental!

Amazing!!
From the moment we arrived we loved this cottage! Gorgeous gardens (the little bunnies were an added treat!), lovely outside deck, private, 12/13 minute walk to town and such nice home decor! The kitchen has everything you’ll need, as well as a beautiful washer/dryer, beach towels and chairs. We couldn’t have been happier with this property! Oh, and the owner is amazing! Very quick responses, kind and understanding! A 6 out of 5 stars!!

We can't wait to go bACK!
Boyers Ally is a gem! It was the perfect space for my family both indoors (where we spent a rainy day) and outdoors enjoying the deck and beautiful yard. We truly felt like we were staying at home having all the amenities needed from being able to cook a meal (fully functional kitchen and grill) or head out for a day at the beach (chairs, towels, cooler). The home is beautifully decorated and quiet despite being in a central location. Very easy to get into town or go in the other direction for another shopping center that has everything you need. Communication was easy and clear and the home was very clean. We'll be back!

Convenient and comfortable!
Kendra and Phil's place was a perfect home base for my husband and I during our week on Nantucket. We had another couple visit for the weekend and we fit 4 adults just fine. We enjoyed being walking distance to town (10-15 mins) as well as close to all the bike paths and bus lines. We were able to explore 6 or 7 different beaches easily! The place itself was clean and tidy, with a nice contemporary style and just the right size. We appreciated the nicely sized patio and spent some time outside each evening. We would have grilled too, if there weren't so many great food places close by! The kitchen had everything we needed and to our delight, a dishwasher too. The only thing we couldn't find was a wine bottle opener, but our neighbors were friendly and willing to lend one. The outdoor shower was a big plus. I could go on, but I'll just say we had a great experience and we would highly recommend this place!!
