Description of the Property
"Beachnut" on Nantucket Island, a beach-front, cathedral-ceilinged, rambling, one story home, features a Great Room with dining area and large eat-in kitchen looking out to sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The great room easily accommodates large dinner parties of 20 or more and is flanked on either side by 2 master king bedrooms with bathrooms, facing the same ocean view. One has a tub/shower combo and the other has a shower. Two bedrooms with twin beds form the rear wing and share a bathroom. The larger has ocean views.
Great, sandy swimming is right outside your front door down the short path to the beach. You can catch bluefish or stripers or keep an eye out for seals. Early in the morning you can see the lights of the many sports fishing boats that fish half a mile out in deeper waters.
The fireplace in the main room is encircled with a comfortable, oversized couch and plush chairs and the large eat-in kitchen with skylight is totally equipped. Hidden in a corner armoire is the entertainment center with TV and combination Dvd/vcr player.
Beachnut is informal, with a cozy feel and the taste of old Nantucket. Decorated with remembrances of the family's past generations on the island, it's a great place to curl up with a book while listening to the surf and sea birds in the background. The space is perfect for 3-4 couples or 2 couples with 2 children each.
Other amenities include: Microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer and well-supplied kitchen including some spices. There are plenty of linens, bath and beach towels. Nine miles out of the hustle and bustle of town, you can be on the beach or the deck all day and never have to pack a picnic. We're happy out at the beach!
(The house is only open from Memorial Day to 2 weeks beyond Columbus Day because it has no heat source except the fireplace and is only habitable when it is warm enough that the pipes don't freeze.)
Airport: Nantucket
Distance: 20 minutes
On-Site Amenities
Great swimming and fishing right outside your front door! Best fishing is dawn or dusk, with some equipment at the house. If you're an early riser, you may see Grey Seals or Harbor Seals swimming along side the beach searching for breakfast, other times of the day also. If I don't see one on my early walk with my dog, I sit and wait for as long as I please, and one usually happens by. The Grey Seals are larger with more mottled skin color. They are less shy than the black Harbor Seals and curious enough to look at you without diving under immediately. They will come up again and again and you can walk along beside them and keep them company. Dogs make them nervous, but if you keep your distance when with your dog, you will enjoy your seal sightings.

Activities and Attractions
Walking distance to 4 star "The Wauwinet" Hotel, on list of top best hotels in U.S. Excellent food and ambience. This is where Arnold Schwartznegger and Maria Shriver got married. Popular spot for celebs to stay because they can take a sea plane right up to the dock, and not have to deal with the airport and crowds. (And to think I used to sing there way back when.) Nantucket Film Festival in June has become a favored event. There is a golf course 8 minutes by car away. Town is 9 miles away for rental of boats and fishing charters etc.

Rental Rate Notes
There is a changeover fee of $87 to $95 per stay (depending on what our service is charging per hour in any given yr), which covers the cost of our cleaning service to come out to Wauwinet and check that the house is ready for the next guests.

We allow dogs as long as there isn't a gang, and don't have a policy on smoking. (You should quit anyway.) Cleaning service available, but most tenants leave the house in move-in condition to avoid the $29.00 an hour cleaning bill. There is a $300 a week Security Deposit, out of which any cleaning, toll call charges or damages will be taken.
Deposit of one half of rental total is due upon receipt of lease. Remainder is due 1 month before occupancy. Security Deposit of $300 per week is refundable less toll calls and cleaning charges of $29. per hr where applicable.
Half of the deposit may be refunded if canceled at least 30 days prior to the reservation date.
