Q) How close are the houses to the beach?
A) Very close. All three houses sit on top of a bluff overlooking the ocean. All you have to do is take a staircase down to the dunes and a short walk of 100 yards puts you directly on the beach.

Q) Where do you suggest eating?
A) Nantucket has many wonderful restaurants. Siasconset is reasonably close to Tom Nevers and one of our favorites during the summer with a wonderful Piano bar is the Summer House. For restaurants in the downtown area, 21 Federal and Straight Wharf always are top notch for fine dining. For cheaper eats and a more casual meal, the Brotherhood is well worth the trip.

Q) Where is best nightlife?
A) The Muse, the Chicken Box and the Rose & Crown often have live entertainment.

Q) Planning a wedding, family reunion, anniversary or other special life event?
A) We suggest renting the Whales Watch Estate because it is one of Nantucket's premier oceanfront locations. Reserving your dates (1) year in advance is recommended, as we only accept a limted number of special event rentals each year.
