Good Stay
House was exactly as advertised. Pool was great and the area was very nice. Close to lots of attractions and the free beach set up was great. Couple things there was dog poop on the outside of the pool area in the grass however they came and cleaned it up within minutes of me calling. The golf cart needs to be retired and a new one would be great. Again even with those two things we would definitely rent again.

Property was fair
Property condition and amenities could have been better. Plumbing issues and amenities could have been better for the price. Appreciate the management addressing some quickly, but saying the pool light was "hot wired" to work (but it still didn't work) did not make us comfortable in the pool.

Family vacation
The Nantucket fit our needs for our extended family of 17, 10 adults & seven children. The location was one block from the beach which was convenient. Any issue we had was addressed immediately plus the realtor called often to check on our status. I would recommend this house to other vacationing families.

Thank you for providing such a great house. Only issue that I know of is that the hot tub didn’t work well and didn’t hold the water in it. Didn’t seem to be a big issue, but letting you know. Thanks!

Stellar Stay at a Stellar Home
Our trip to The Nantucket House honestly could not have been better! The home works so well for a large group and provides all the amenities you are looking for during a beach vacation. From the spacious interiors that make group dinners and hangs perfect to the gorgeous outdoor pool and patio that we all fell in love with...it just could not have been better.

Lovely week at the beach and pool
Small hiccups: Found out after we got to the beach that the area in walking distance was claimed as "private" by nearby condo. We ended up walking farther than expected with all our beach gear and small kids.
Also: TV and wifi didn't work in top floor and "three queens" room.
Other than that, we had a wonderful week. The pool was fantastic, the rooms and beds were spacious. Washer and dryer sets on first and second floors was great. Great place for a family vacation.

Roomy and Nice
Great location on Scenic Route 98, just across the street from the beach. VERY well accessorized. By that I mean every cooking utensil one would expect plus an extensive array of cutlery and dishes. TWO large refrigerators and two large washer / dryer combos (one on first and second floors). Open air "hot tub" is not what you would expect at your health club, and there is a substantial upcharge to heat the pool, but those were small concerns to us. A HUGE plus is the company, which was IMMEDITELY response to any concerns. This is in SHARP contrast to our experience with several other agencies in the area. Sugar Palm Rentals even called us occasionally "just to see" if everything was alright. They are great, and so is this property.

Family holiday week
We enjoyed the size and location of the house. The property managers could not have been more responsive to our requests. We really appreciated that! The pool area was beautiful and the heater worked as advertised.
We had a pretty good size group and we're surprised to learn there was not enough steak knives. I would suggest addressing that and perhaps addressing the grill/outdoor kitchen to be more in line with the size of the home. One last suggestion, please be sure the cleaning service thoroughly mops the floors prior to new guests. They did an outstanding job other than this and it would be a great job done.
Thanks again for a wonderful week.

Little to NO WIFI connection
They need extenders to add to the WIFI router. Dead spots in all the bedrooms. OR Cuts in and out bad. They could buy a stronger router/modem to match the size of the house and the number of users. Or they could move the router/modem to a more central location which still might need extenders added. We use wifi for not only entertainment but to keep in touch with work. This complaint was blown off on day two by management by saying the wifi was provided by their internet provider (Cox) and "out of their hands" . BS is what that was.
Accuracy of listing is not in full disclosure for price paid.

family vacation
The house was as described and worked well for our large family. The pool area has no shade but we brought a tailgate tent and that worked for a bit of relief from the sun. The beach entrance across the street from the house is NOT the place that has the umbrella and chairs included in the rental. Those rentals are down a few blocks at another beach entrance that is VERY crowded to the point of annoying. We used that once and never went back choosing to pay for rental chairs at the closer access.
