Longtail Cottage
Thoughtfully reimagined with a refined sensibility, Longtail Cottage is a private retreat with sweeping views toward the Atlantic Ocean and Sankaty Lighthouse. The classic upside-down layout maximizes light and scenery. The home offers exceptional privacy, beautifully appointed interiors, and tranquil spaces that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.
Three elegantly appointed bedrooms and two full bathrooms occupy the main level. Upstairs, sun-filled living and dining rooms are anchored by a generously equipped chef's kitchen. Expansive sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, extending the living experience onto a spacious dining terrace. A welcoming living room with a thoughtfully designed bar and powder room completes the level, creating an effortless flow for gathering and entertaining.
Primary Suite: The primary suite features a king bed, a gracious sitting area, and generous storage. The marble-clad en-suite bath features heated floors, an oversized walk-in shower, and an in-suite washer and dryer. Just beyond, a private terrace overlooking the pool offers two cushioned chaise lounges—a secluded setting for a quiet morning coffee or an evening beneath the stars.
Guestroom I: The first guestroom offers a king bed, generous bedside storage, and a television, creating a refined and comfortable retreat for family or friends.
Guestroom II: Designed with flexibility in mind, the second guestroom features a king bed that may also be configured as two twin XL beds, along with a dresser, bedside table, and television.
Guest Bathroom: Finished with timeless materials, the guest bathroom features an oversized shower/tub combo with dual shower heads and a spacious vanity with ample storage.
Kitchen: Curated for both everyday living and elegant entertaining, the kitchen pairs premium Smeg appliances with Le Creuset and All-Clad cookware, complemented by an extensive collection of dinnerware, glassware, serveware, and thoughtfully selected culinary tools.
Outdoor Living: Designed as an extension of the home's interiors, the outdoor spaces invite guests to embrace Nantucket's coastal lifestyle. Three distinct spaces offer secluded settings for dining, lounging, and entertaining. The pool terrace serves as a private resort-style retreat, featuring four cushioned chaise lounges, an outdoor living room, and a fire pit framed by a generous sectional. The primary suite's secluded balcony provides an intimate escape overlooking the pool, while the upper dining terrace captures expansive views across the Atlantic Ocean and Sankaty Lighthouse. Furnished with seating for six and a premium gas grill, it offers an unforgettable setting for leisurely meals, sunset cocktails, and evenings spent outdoors—where the boundaries between the home's interior and the natural beauty beyond quietly disappear.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

The house was awesome - it's cozy, beautifully designed, and stocked with everything you could ever want. We loved being in Tom Nevers and appreciated the serenity of the neighborhood and enjoyed biking or driving to the nearby beaches. John is a fabulous host - he's responsive and kind. I highly recommend his home!
Wonderful comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood in Tom Nevers. Close to everything but out of the chaos of town.Easy access to multiple beaches or spend the day at the pool. Owner was very responsive and pro-active.
