A cute, cozy, clean place to stay! Close to a beach and easy to get into town. The hosts were very communicative, and everything about the process was easy. Made the whole trip wonderful.

The Sandcastle is great!

The Sandcastle is a quintessential Nantucket cottage! Rent it without reservation. The location is ridiculously good! 100, maybe 200 yards from a very secluded beach, and you can't beat the proximity to town either. We walked and biked into town easily. Lastly, our host was incredibly responsive and timely. He couldn't have been easier to deal with. We will be back to The Sandcastle as soon as we can! Great trip, great house!
