About this cottage rental
Nantucket designer cottage in town and on the water!
Fully restored. On the wharf. In town.
Huge private deck.
See more reviews on airbnb.
With a complete renovation, we brought this fishing cottage into the 21st century, while honoring its past and original character. Behind the walls lined with reclaimed wood and underneath the wide plank floors, it is all modern!
Originally built in the 1800s, no exact date known, just as a single room fisherman’s shanty, it was dismantled and reconstructed right here in 2019. Though we added more rooms and upper floor during the reconstruction, it remains a humble, yet luxurious and comfortable abode.
The living space of the cottage is very open, taking advantage of vast water views while bringing in the salt air and wonderful light through a double french door that spills the daily life open onto an enormous floating deck (400 sq. ft) in the back. From here, step on your private dock with a paddleboard (in season and offered as-is and at your own risk), and the world is your oyster.
The open pro kitchen is extremely functional with a Viking stove, large Smeg fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer, deep farmhouse sink, and open shelving. Cast iron pans and clay pots. Plates and bowls came from Brimfield over 15 years ago and have traveled with us till now they found their forever home. The lamp above the sink is salvaged from a warehouse in Poland, a country especially close to our hearts.
The living room, the original “single room” from the 1800s, with wooden ceiling beams, features a built-in daybed (standard twin) for storytelling or napping and an antique chest that was a gift from a dear friend many years ago.
The dining area marries all open spaces for catch-all gatherings. Vintage finds and handmade housewares collected during close and far travels ensure an eclectic feel throughout and a soft “new New England” fishing village vibe.
Up the stairs, the sleeping quarters are very serene with a neutral palette, natural textures, and a couple of pieces of small furniture.
In the Master Bedroom (queen bed), the view from the bed creates the illusion that you are floating on the sea. There is something magical in the way the light comes in through this window, you might end up reading, journaling, creating, and daydreaming, even if that’s not what you usually do.
The Bunk Bedroom (four twins) is well-suited for children or single travelers. In theory, it sleeps four, but if you are all full-grown adults, we suggest three. Nostalgic, making you feel like a kid again, with a unique beach ball chandelier. You might just drift off at night and you might think it is for real, especially if you peek through the window.
Bathing is, of course, all modern and just like everything else, squeaky clean. One full bath on each floor. White subway tiles, glass-enclosed showers, exposed plumbing fixtures, deep vintage-inspired utility sinks. Despite these luxuries, you might choose our third option, a cedar-enclosed outdoor shower!
This cottage keeps on giving. It gives calmness and peace. Come alone for restorative time or to finish your novel, or come with family to bond and refocus on what really matters. We are honored you took the time to get to know it a bit, we invite you to come and stay.
The cottage is about 500 sq.ft, even though the lower level feels much more spacious than the number would suggest. We have fast internet and NO TV.

As an interior architect I noticed not one detail went by the wayside (even the tiled 4 walls in the bathroom). Being on the water brought instant peace and the location was extremely convenient

Amazing property on the water right in the heart of town. I went with 3 other women in our 30s. My sister and I shared the queen bed, and two of the girls slept in the bunk room. A fifth friend was meant to join as well, which would have been a bit tight (although completely doable), but her flight was cancelled. The porch directly on the marina was such a treat every morning. We were right in the center of everything, and really enjoyed all the shopping, bars and restaurants. The free wave shuttle was amazing for the airport and beaches too! The bathrooms were lovely and recently updated. Such a charming interior. Amazing trip, I can’t wait to come back!!
