The outdoor shower and private yard were all my Nantucket dreams come true. The location was perfect – close enough to explore everything by foot or bike, but also quiet and peaceful. Kathleen, the host, was amazing! She was helpful and friendly, sharing all her local knowledge and ensuring we had all the info we needed for a good stay. We loved it so much, we already booked again for next year! This place is a treasure – shhh, don't tell everyone! ##### Rebecca T. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Durelle G.

The upstairs ceilings were a bit of a challenge for my tall daughters, but they didn’t mind. I’m not used to recycling so I was nervous about doing it wrong and getting a fine, but I think we figured it out. Although it is easier to stay in a hotel-you don’t have to wash towels or pay an extra fee-we really loved being together in an adorable cottage. Nantucket is so charming and staying in a cottage just added to the romance of the town. Wonderful host! ##### Karin T. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael S. Jun 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation We were pleased with location of the home. Walking distance to town. Downtown Nantucket is beautiful with plenty to do. We also rented a car at Young’s Bike Shop and really enjoyed exploring the island. The home was nice with a great private outdoor space. The downstairs bedroom is nice with own bathroom, which is the only bathroom downstairs. The bedrooms upstairs with queen and double beds are small, but ok. The twin beds are just outside the doors to the other bedrooms and a bit awkward. Only 1 small bathroom upstairs. Actual beds were not very comfortable. The family room area was a nice size and the kitchen was also big enough for our group to gather. ##### Michael S. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin Mary T. Jul 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family fun at Hunky Dory! Just got back from a great week at Kathleen’s property Hunky Dory!! First of all Kathleen’s communication is top notch. No question went unanswered and very quick to respond! I was a little nervous about the recycling rules on Nantucket, LOL but Kathleen walked us through it. You can tell this property is her baby and she has put a lot of love and care into it. It is adorable inside with beautiful grounds, flowers and outdoor seating. A few of us worked throughout the vacation and wifi is excellent downstairs. There was everything you need to cook. She has lots of towels, facecloths, beach towels, chairs, back up light bulbs and a full washer dryer! Air conditioners everywhere if hot outside. The home is older with low ceilings so if you are a tall family you will need to duck your head a bit upstairs. The stairs to second floor are steep so I suggest putting all the younger folk up there. I kept my 80 yo dad downstairs in king bed with bathroom close by. Hunky Dory is about a 10-15 min walk to town depending on how fast you walk. 5 min by bike. Pay attention to how Kathleen tells you to get to house as there is less traffic that way. We did not and were surprised at how fast cars go by pedestrians and roads are narrow. It is also safer by bike the way she tells you. Kathleen gives you tons of suggestions for the island and we hit most of them. On the boat over people were shocked we had made no reservations for restaurants before we left. But honestly, you can get in nearly anywhere for lunch including “Galley Beach”. Beautiful! Dinner FORGET IT, but if you go to restaurants at 4 or 5 you may be able to get in. Gaslight and Town were yummy. Most places were super nice but some very snobby and laughed when we tried to get in, “American Seasons”. We went to “Rose and a Crown” 5 times as you can walk right in anytime and eat outside under umbrellas. Very good food too!. Also, Hunky Dory is close to bus stops but to go to further distance locations, “Cisco breweries” and “Mataket” you will need to take bus downtown first. Get a week pass for $30 and ride anywhere. The stop and shop is a 5 min bike ride and we went there quite often for supplies. Also, at end of week when my dad got a bit tired of walking, NO problem getting an Uber. Thank you Kathleen for a great experience on our first visit to Nantucket! I would highly recommend Kathleen’s home! ##### Robin Mary T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rika S.

It was cozy, but enough space for us to spread out as well. Space was clean, and all communications were clear. A great stay. ##### Rika S. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### bev c.

The host Kathleen was amazingly helpful and responsive with all of our many questions she started getting getting about 11 months before our stay. The property is beautiful, comfortable, and in a perfect location. Hoping to come back to Nantucket real soon and stay here again. The house has plenty of room to spread out and is so comfortably and attractively furnished. We walked most everywhere. The layout of the bedding made it perfect for friends to be together but mostly have their own beds. Such cozy and warm, bedding, and comforters! Thank you for offering your beautiful home as a vrbo! ##### bev c. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley S.

Kathleen (host) was very responsive and check-in/out was a breeze. It’s situated on a lovely street about a 10 minute walk into town. Very clean and super convenient to town. I’d recommend and stay there again! ##### Jason C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan R.

Perfect size for our group of 10, we had plenty of space. The garden was great, ate outdoors mostly and the outdoor shower was divine. Kathleen was very good at communicating! ##### Joan R.
