WALK THROUGH THE MOORS BY LONG POND TO DIONIS BEACH | bikes & beach gear incl!

Beautiful secluded property that borders Long Pond Preserve. Central AC and mini splits installed fall of 2021. Walk through the Moors (Long Pond Preserve) to Dionis Beach. Our family has enjoyed coming to the "Gray Lady" Nantucket Island for more than 50 years. We invite you to enjoy the beauty and history of this magnificent island in our "Special Place". Please respect the house as if it were yours and the nature that surrounds it. A short 5 minute drive to Madaket Beach (life guards) is a pleasant way to spend a beautiful summer day in Nantucket. Visit Mr. Rodger's "Crooked House" and uncover the legend of "Madaket Millie". WIFI, TV,bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, towels and tennis racquets, 2 private tennis courts and umbrellas available. Small house broken non shedding dogs allowed . Rental agreement required. Sleeps 6 adults plus a bunky room for 4 children.
FOR those returning renters the 3rd has a queen bed only on the 3rd floor. There had been 2 singles.

7 Ridge Lane

Location is super. The beach path to 40th Pole is right there; the kids and I walked it while their parents could drive right onto it. The neighborhood was safe for them to ride their bikes throughout and they loved having access to the tennis courts. Having the bus stop right at the end of the road was so convenient. Mark was right to call it “Happy Place”.

Perfect Nantucket getaway

Mark was a fantastic host, very communicative and seamless check-in to the property. The house is in a beautiful and quiet area, and conveniently located close to the Wave shuttle. The accommodations were all we could need and then some. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Gorgeous location!!

We really enjoyed our trip to Nantucket and staying here was perfect for us! Mark was very responsive and helpful for any questions. Our favorite part was that the home had bikes so we were able to easily get around the island, along with a bus stop at the end of the street. There was plenty of space and the home was very clean. We loved the location as it was a bit quieter and relaxing. Would love to come back!

Great cottage in Natucket

The cottage was perfect for our vacation. There was ample parking, plenty of room, and everything was as advertised. We cooked in every night and were happy to find a kitchen with plenty of cookware and utensils. The home had everything we needed to be comfortable. The perfect Nantucket cottage and would stay again!

Oasis in a friendly neightborhood

We utilized the beach path every day of our visit - the ocean water temp was in the mid/high 60's. The Wave is running free this year. It turned out it was easier to NOT use our car! The house had all the accommodations we could desire and zero shortcomings. Thank you to our host!!

The Perfect Beach House

This was the perfect house for our family's Nantucket vacation. Great location, plenty of room, beautiful views! Walk/bike to the beach. Easy access to bike path, which we used a lot. Plenty of beach supplies - no need to bring any. Frequent visits by deer and rabbits too. Magical. Thw house was very clean and well kept. We hope to return in the future.

This was our third stay at Special Place. Mark is an amazing host, the house had everything we needed for a wonderful Nantucket week. Most important to us , the location is just perfect, in beautiful Madaket , steps from bike path and minutes to beautiful beaches , in a quiet neighborhood, with a lovely very private deck -perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktail. A week is never enough :)
