Nantucket Main House Overview
Welcome to 328 Madaket Road! We hope you enjoy the home, the beauty of Madaket, and the best sunsets on the island! Here are a some guidelines and helpful hints about the house:
-
Formal boundaries do not separate the main house (Crazy Love), cottage (Sweet Thing), and bunk house (Always on My Mind). We rely on common sense and mutual consideration between guests (100% success rate!), but let us know if you have questions.
-
The driveway is large and allows for parking for guests in both the main house and the cottage. We have always found guests in both spaces to be courteous to one another such that all parties can park happily. More parking is available in the back of the home off Macy Road in the unlikely event more space is needed.
-
Check-in time is 4 PM and generally firm as our cleaners and service providers are extremely busy.
-
The home should be unlocked upon your arrival. Should you find it locked inadvertently upon arrival, contact JP for instructions on how to locate spare keys for initial entry.

Smart TVs are connected via the internet, and apps such as Netflix, YouTube TV, Amazon, etc. provide the primary source of entertainment.

Trash is picked up once per week in the off-season and twice per week in the prime season.

Heat and AC are controlled by a smart thermostat, one on each floor.

Please close all windows and doors when you are not in the home, especially the large doors on the second floor balcony (secured by two bolts).
-
Several exterior storage bins dot the outside of the home where you'll find outdoor space furnishings (pillows, umbrella, etc.) and beach gear (chairs, toys, etc.) available for your use. Kindly neatly return any items prior to departure.

The basement has an owners' closet that is secured by padlock.

Guests who bring a 4X4 might consider purchasing a beach pass. Smith Point offers nearby stunning beach drives, sunsets, fishing, etc.
-
The gas powered grill on the deck should be covered when not in use. Should the gas run empty, spare gas tanks might be available in the stairway leading to the basement. Else, the local gas stations will exchange empty tanks for full ones at a modest price.

An irrigation system runs regularly during summer months, mostly in the evening. However, please expect brief watering during the daytime to prevent grass from burning up.
-
The quickest access to the beach is to walk behind the main house and head right on the dirt road (Macy Road) toward the beach. The beach towels are located in the bedroom closets or in the basement.

The small market located next to Millie’s sells household basics like milk, bread, newspapers, beach items, and beverages. It has spared countless guests burdensome trips into town : )

The Wave Shuttle bus into own runs in the prime season every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour in front of Millie’s Restaurant.
