Last two summer weeks available. 10 min. walk to Downtown

'Hunky Dory' is a spacious and light-filled fully equipped five bedroom home with decor and furnishings inspired by its history and Nantucket Island. Built in 1841 by mariner Joseph Lewis and recently beautifully renovated, 'Hunky Dory' is situated on a very quiet narrow lane near the working, 18th-century windmill. Located in the downtown historic district, this home is a short walk past sea captains' mansions to the heart of Nantucket town's shops and restaurants. A private enclosed backyard is beautifully landscaped with hydrangeas, lilies, and Roses of Sharon and features an enclosed outdoor hot water shower. The front of the house has hydrangeas, roses and and flowering window boxes. Hunky Dory is as charming outside as it is inside. The home is immaculate and has all hardwood floors, original artwork/photographs and beautiful Claire Murray rugs. Its central location to town and grocery stores, all a 10 minute walk from the house, make it perfect for those who do not need to bring or rent a vehicle.

My friends & I really enjoyed our stay at this charming home in Nantucket.
The property is very well stocked with everything you need for cooking, etc. The home is in walking distance to downtown. Renting bikes is fun with wonderful bike paths. We would stay here again.

Well appointed
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, and on a quiet street but so close to everything: town, beaches, shopping, doughnuts! This was our second time staying here, and we look forward to coming back again. We really appreciate how clean and well appointed it is. There are more than enough towels, beach towels, beach chairs, dishes and beds for everyone in our large group. Thank you, Kathleen!

Family vacation
We were pleased with location of the home. Walking distance to town. Downtown Nantucket is beautiful with plenty to do. We also rented a car at Young’s Bike Shop and really enjoyed exploring the island. The home was nice with a great private outdoor space. The downstairs bedroom is nice with own bathroom, which is the only bathroom downstairs. The bedrooms upstairs with queen and double beds are small, but ok. The twin beds are just outside the doors to the other bedrooms and a bit awkward. Only 1 small bathroom upstairs. Actual beds were not very comfortable. The family room area was a nice size and the kitchen was also big enough for our group to gather.

Perfect getaway
This was a darling comfortable cottage near town. It was so nice for my daughters and I. The upstairs ceilings were a bit of a challenge for my tall daughters, but they didn’t mind. I’m not used to recycling so I was nervous about doing it wrong and getting a fine, but I think we figured it out. Although it is easier to stay in a hotel-you don’t have to wash towels or pay an extra fee-we really loved being together in an adorable cottage. Nantucket is so charming and staying in a cottage just added to the romance of the town. Wonderful host!

Great Thanksgiving Stay
Our group of 9 had a great stay. Grandparents, kids, older grandchildren. It was cozy, but enough space for us to spread out as well. Space was clean, and all communications were clear. A great stay.

The best Christmas Stroll ever
From start to finish everything was perfect. The host Kathleen was amazingly helpful and responsive with all of our many questions she started getting getting about 11 months before our stay. The property is beautiful, comfortable, and in a perfect location. Hoping to come back to Nantucket real soon and stay here again. The house has plenty of room to spread out and is so comfortably and attractively furnished. We walked most everywhere. The layout of the bedding made it perfect for friends to be together but mostly have their own beds. Such cozy and warm, bedding, and comforters! Thank you for offering your beautiful home as a vrbo!

Charming Place; Great Location
Exactly as advertised. Kathleen (host) was very responsive and check-in/out was a breeze. It’s situated on a lovely street about a 10 minute walk into town. Very clean and super convenient to town. I’d recommend and stay there again!
