The 7 Best Nantucket Airbnbs For a Quintessential New England Getaway

Looking for the best Nantucket Airbnbs? You’ve come to the right place. Nantucket is an isolated isle that puts the “idyll” in idyllic, with its white picket fences that surrounded brown-shingled cottages, cobblestone streets dotted with hydrangea bushes, and cliffside bluffs that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Essentially, it’s the epitome of a New England summer—a season so beautiful that it makes living through the area’s more frigid months worth it. (Although, trust us, don’t rule out a visit in the fall.)
Perhaps you’re feeling a charming abode close to town that’s a walk—or a quick bike ride—to Cru or the Chicken Box. Or maybe proximity to the beach, whether its Nobadeer or Madaket, is your priority. Whatever you want, we’ve found an Airbnb for it.
Below, the best Nantucket Airbnbs for your next getaway. Happy booking—and here are a few outfit suggestions once you do.
A half mile from Miacomet Beach is this quintessential Nantucket home that will bring all the summer vibes. There’s a pool! There’s a sky-high flagpole! There are manicured green lawns and waterfront views! Frankly, it could be setting for a movie scene where our young, impressionable protagonist walks into a chic summer soirée and warm-weather hijinks ensue. (But we’re just projecting here.)
Want to be near the center of everything—but not, well, in the center, as Nantucket’s population swells by tens of thousands of people in the summer? Look no further than this classic four bedroom home on a quiet lane off of Madaket Road, a mere-two-minute bike ride from town.
This in-town home has a traditional exterior, but a contemporary interior—no nautical decor or “beach please” signs here. Added bonus: the home comes with a concierge who will help you with everything from restaurant reservations to organizing a fishing trip.
