Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. Even with nearly non-stop rain, we had a wonderful vacation. Please enjoy the coasters - and let them protect the lovely wood furniture.
- The Gotiluh Family
We loved our stay at your home - it is the prettiest house we’ve had in our years visiting Nantucket. Very much like a first class hotel (loved the down pillows and comforter! Also loved the Belleek.) You’ve done a beautiful job restoring this home. Many thanks
- The Hunters; Los Angeles, CA
What a fabulous house! You made our Figawi weekend just perfect. We really lucked out weather-wise, for our race over… and the while weekend shaped up to be beautiful. This house is just perfect. The location is incredible, and we loved being just a walk from town and the Figawi tent parties :o) The kitchen is amazing and we loved using the amazing appliances. The beds are so comfy and the back patio is precious. The lavender plants smell so nice and the gardens are so perfectly manicured. …. You just stopped by - Nice to meet you! We would love to stay here again next Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for everything.

A lovely holiday week in a beautiful home. We loved the setting, the island and our exploration of Nantucket. Even the weather cooperated with sun warmed wind for our hikes every day. A wonderful Thanksgiving vacation! Thank you.

All the comforts of home coupled with the magic of Nantucket - perfect! Your house is beautifully renovated, compact, sensuous and we loved the proximity to town. Thank you!

What a wonderful week in Nantucket! Your home is most adorable and we love all the extra treats. We felt like we were entertaining at home - we had several little cozy dinners in your home. You have exquisite taste which adds to the ambiance of Nantucket! Thanks so much for sharing your home! PS: We love the Wasabi peas at the Sconset Market. Can’t wait to come back.
- The DuPrees; Texas
Thanks so much for a perfectly delightful week on Nantucket. This is the second summer we have stayed in your beautiful home and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate for having done so. Your house is both comfortable and luxurious, and we are very sad to leave it and Nantucket. We look forward to staying in your house on our next Nantucket vacation.
- The Vose Family
It’s a couple of days short of our four week stay in your house and we’ve enjoyed our visit thoroughly. Having seldom rented vacation homes, we were particularly pleased with your appointments and loved your artwork. Even your library we took advantage of, and even added to. We’re here during the horrible events of September 11th. As sad and horrendous the news has been, we’ve felt comfortable in your home. Hoping we can return to our home in Longboat Key, Florida, on Saturday, we’ll always remember this Nantucket vacation. Despite the economy at present time, Norman and I have certainly done our share of helping Nantucket restaurants and shops during our visit. Although we didn’t use your fine equipment in the kitchen, we were impressed with the superior quality. Thanks.
- The Winstons; Longboat Key, FL
Thank you for allowing us to use your house. We had everything we needed to make our short stay enjoyable. We also had 2 days out of 5 of great weather.
- The Turners
What a lovely week we had! And thank you for sharing your home. After almost yearly visits to Nantucket over the past 25 years - 5 Jefferson Lane is our absolute FAVORITE place to stay! We hope to return next year! We wish you a great season. Best Regards.
- The Mayo Family
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! What a great location. We did a lot of walking each and every day.
Fondly - The Fitzpatrick Family
What a great home in a fabulous location!! We thoroughly enjoyed all of it - our favorites were the patio and gardens, cozy décor, top of the line appliances, the wine glasses and, last but not least, the comfortable place to lay our heads! We are leaving our weeks stay wishing we would have booked a little longer trip. We are just now figuring things our (how awesome the outdoor shower can be!) Thanks for everything - we have left the island with lots of great memories.

The Stroll of 2003 will go down as one snowy and windy weekend. “Stranded at Stroll” will be our refrain! We LOVE 5 Jefferson and will be back in June! Thanks again for all your wonderful hospitality. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2004!

Your home is a Nantucket treasure and thank you for sharing it with us. Our visit was full of great adventures…. Especially George’s bluefish catch! We look forward to returning to this wonderful home next year. Your gracious efforts to every detail have been greatly appreciated.
- The Youngs
Your home is truly “ACK-dorable”! You have thought of all the little touches to make your home feel so at home. It was a very special trip for us… my mom’s 79th birthday, first visit to Nantucket, my grown married daughter’s get-away, and I don’t need a reason to come to Nantucket! A great mother-daughter trip we’ll never forget. We’d love to come back for the wine festival. Thank you.
- The Kerrutle Family; Texas
Thank you for sharing. Your home is lovely and a gift to share. Our mother/daughter get away will be treasured forever. The cap was such a surprise! PS: Tulip (mini bull dog) fount the staircase challenging but rewarding. Regards.
- The Farrells; Memphis, TN
What can I say? We had such a wonderful time – the house and its location cannot be beat. I will recommend it highly to friends! Walking the streets, renting bikes from Young’s Summer Street Church, etc…. were just a few highlights. Thank you - Suzanne, David and June
We so enjoyed our stay in your home. We were very comfortable inside and outdoors. It’s nice to go someplace and feel at home. Thanks for sharing.
- Sandy, Bob, Larry and Henry; Bloomfield Hills, MI
Oh, what a week in Nantucket… and such a great “home base” from which it all happened! Day after day we strolled, beached and biked, happy to return to this cozy, relaxing place. We loved the patio … and the boys never once showered inside! This is a week to remember. Thank you!
- The Janssen Family; Winnetka, IL
We were here on our honeymoon - it was perfect. We love Nantucket for its natural beauty, history and architecture. The house could not have been better - the backyard/patio was especially appreciated. We are dreading going back to Black Fly infested Maine. But we will be back!
- Anna and Mark
My wife, Sheila, and I had the most wonderful week anyone could ever hope for. Your house is truly a home. Every appointment was truly perfect. We felt relaxed, happy and pampered. We are absolutely heart broken that we have to leave today!!! Had we known, we would have stayed two weeks!
- Mark and Sheila
Your home is beautiful - loved the décor, down pillows/comforter, and appliances. Enjoyed fishing at Great Point and the walks to town. Met your new neighbor - she is a pleasure. Best wishes for the Sconset Market - we love to frequent it in the summertime. Thanks again.
- The Pollocks; Conyngham, PA
What a lovely house! Thank you for making our stay so comfortable we love Nantucket - we got married here 6 years ago and we’ve been coming back every summer. This year, though, we decided to spend Christmas on the island. Having been able to stay at your home made our Christmas so very special! Thank you for helping us build beautiful memories of Nantucket.
Sincerely - The Holdens
Little cottage near the sea
Perfect place; just for me
English garden nestled there
Quiet spot to cast a care
Roses climbing on a wall
Fragrant blooms seen reaching tall
Oh, could I but give as they
Gifts of beauty every day
Refreshed, renewed, now I stand
Ever grateful for its fashioning hand.

Thank you for letting us borrow your little piece of heaven. We had everything we needed and enjoyed every moment! We have decided that Nantucket is our perfect vacation destination! Thank you!!
-The Nelsons; Attleboro, MA
Once again, we had a wonderful time! Nantucket is a joy as in your house and its charm! On a sunny afternoon out in the garden with a glass of wine, a piece of cheese and a lovely book: who could ask for anything more? Thanks!!
