About this house rental
Historic Skyemoor, originally built in 1694, is one of the 50 oldest houses on the island. Built by the Macy family, who arrived on Nantucket with the first settlers, Skyemoor is steeped in island history and culture, played host to Herman Melville and others, as well as served as the home of wealthy Whaling Captains throughout Nantucket’s whaling golden age.
Today, Skyemoor is the perfect family home, having been tastefully and carefully renovated to provide modern conveniences without losing its antique roots. The house sits high up on Main Street, at the head of town and central to all that Nantucket has to offer. Charming shops, fine dining restaurants, and beautiful beaches are all just steps away. Experience Nantucket the way the island is meant to be, with an appreciation for her beauty, a nod to the past, and from the comfort of a welcoming and grand family home.
Floor Plan
First Floor: Living Room, fireplace, dining room with a table for 8 and room for extra seating. A gourmet kitchen with Wolf stove, Miele appliances, an island with seating, and pantry.
One queen bedroom, a hallway full bathroom, and another bedroom with a full bed, a pullout twin bed and ensuite bathroom.
Second Floor: One Queen bedroom overlooks the beautiful back garden. Another bedroom with two twin beds. These two rooms share a full bathroom in the hall, complete with a shower, washer & dryer. A luxurious master bedroom suite has its own soaking tub and shower.
Third Floor: 2 twin trundle beds and an ensuite full bathroom with a shower.
The house has a private garden accessible only to Skyemoor. Skyemoor has an attached cottage that shares a wall with the main house, and runs down the side street of Gardner Avenue. The cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and depending on the time of year, it can be let along with the main house to provide a total of 9 bedrooms for large groups or families. Most of the time the back cottage is let to respectful island professionals who have limited contact with anyone from the main house, as their entrance is separate.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful Nantucket property while celebrating a special birthday. It was the perfect setting for our group, with ample space for six couples to feel comfortable and relaxed.The location was fantastic, and the home truly had everything we could possibly need — a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, and so many thoughtful touches throughout. The property was clean, beautifully appointed, and full of charm. We especially loved the cool history of the home, which made our stay feel even more special.It was the perfect place to gather, celebrate, and enjoy Nantucket together. We would absolutely stay here again!

I can’t say enough about how amazing my stay was at the Skyemore. We were there for 3 nights and it’s was the perfect place to stay. Everyone was gushing about how great the location is and how spacious all the rooms were. If you plan on staying in Nantucket this has to be your first choice.
