About this cottage rental
The Scallop is a beautifully furnished 3-bedroom oceanfront cottage on Smith Point, at the western tip of Nantucket. The house features stunning ocean views, a beautifully renovated kitchen/living area, extensive outdoor decks and easy beach access on a private path.
Smith Point is prized for its tranquility, easy access to the water and amazing sunsets. The cottage faces the ocean to the west and faces the head of Hither Creek, a salt water inlet, to the south. It is about 300 feet from a beautiful surf beach and about three blocks from the calm Madaket Harbor beach. Our house is an easy walk (about 10 minutes) to Millie's restaurant and market, and we certainly have been known to head over there for a serving of ice cream, a carryout dinner to enjoy on our deck, or some other amenity.
The living room has a beautiful ocean view and opens onto a second-story deck featuring a dining area with the same great view. Outside, on ground level, there is a patio with a teak table and chairs and a deck with outdoor chairs. The cottage also features a nice large flat lawn and an outdoor shower.
The WAVE shuttle bus is free and picks up passengers at the bus stop at Millie's. The cottage is also close to the Madaket bike path, part of Nantucket's excellent network of bike paths.
Nantucket offers world-class dining, shopping, golf, fishing and outdoor adventures. For kids, the island offers great day camps, sports lessons and other activities. You will love it!
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: If you are booking with us through VRBO, we will not ask for a direct payment or wire transfer of funds, nor should you make any such payment. For your security, you should pay through VRBO with a credit card.

Magical home in a magical place. Loved staying at this house out on beautiful Smith's Point. Walking to Millies for food and going between the harbor and the beach were highlights for us. Wonderful vacation.

This is the perfect beach house for a family to stay at in Nantucket. My 4 boys, ages 1 to 11 all had a great time staying here last week. The beach in front of the house cannot be beat, it’s gorgeous, private and has the most beautiful sunsets. The house is updated, comfortable and well-equipped with everything you need to make you feel at home. The wraparound decks with amazing ocean views were perfect for family meals. Having Millie’s within walking or biking distance was so convenient! Their food was outstanding…we got take-out lunch and dinner here several times, as well as iced coffees and ice-creams! Tom and Susan are great hosts and were so helpful with their recommendations. My family and I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!

We stayed for a week in June. Weather was cool and foggy; just right for exploring and photography. The cottage is typical Nantucket. Grey shingle exterior and light and airy interior. Very clean, well kept and supplied. Short walk over the dunes to the beach. Tom was great with communication and recommendations. Madaket is a good beach location away from the crowds. I would recommend having a rental car as it is quite a ways from town although the Waves shuttle is also convenient. Be prepared in the summer for large crowds and traffic in town. Also, be prepared to spend more than usual. It is expensive, similar to Hawaii.

My family and I just returned from a wonderful week next to the beach at Madaket. Already wishing we were still there.
Very chill, so relaxing. This home had all the amenities we needed. Tom was a great host with clear and timely communication.
All around a very nice vacation rental.
