As a gal who grew up here on Nantucket I know a lot of great spots that are off the beaten path, so if you had something in mind or want to go on an adventure like going to great point light house or on a boat to watch a 6am Polpis Harbor sunrise... don't be afraid to ask!

What’s the best location if…

...we want iconic Nantucket. Downtown, Sankaty and Sconset Villageall have very recognizable Nantucket landmarks.

...we don't have a car. Downtown, Harbor & Step's Beach are all within walking distance from the ferry. You can also hire a cab or Uber if you have your heart set on something further.

...we're a couple who want privacy. For the most privacy, I would recommend Surfside West, Smith's Point, Miacomet Beach, or the Harbor. I would avoid Step's Beach.

...we want off the beaten track. Let's chat! Want something truly unique? Let me know what color palette and the overall look you're going for and I'll recommend something custom to you.

...we have kids. I would avoid downtown and the harbor in the middle of the summer with younger kids. Beaches are great for running around. Sconset and Sankaty are both quieter as well and kid-friendly.

...we want variety. Both Downtown and Sconset village have the most variety in one location so you'll get a lot of different backgrounds and colors all in one location.

...we want flowers. Downtown and Sconset Village have beautiful flowers. Roses are in season the last 2 weeks of June and hydrangeas are in season for the first 3 weeks of July.
