1 Dooley Court, Nantucket MA

This family-friendly house offers a unique blend of luxury, space, convenience, and privacy. Relax in the perfect location—near everything, but away from the island bustle on a quiet road abutting the Nantucket State Forest. Perfect for extended families or groups, with loads of indoor and outdoor space and comfortable sleeping for 10. The house is professionally cleaned by one of the island's premier firms, sparkling clean and disinfected for each new rental group. On the first floor the open layout offers tons of space to spread out. The great room features post-and-beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, TV with DVR, and lots of cozy seating. A second family room offers another TV and a wide selection of games and puzzles, along with a large game table for family fun. The well-appointed kitchen is designed for cooking, with a Frigidaire gas range and oven, two sinks, and a Bosch dishwasher. A separate dining area seats 8-10. The sumptuous master bedroom offers a comfortable king bed, a cozy loveseat, its own small flat-screen TV, and French doors leading to porch and back garden. Relax in the luxurious master bath, which offers a whirlpool tub, two sinks, and a huge dual shower with deluxe rain showerheads. The first floor also has an airy second bedroom with twin beds, a separate powder room, and a laundry room that's stocked with all the beach towels you'll need. The second floor offers two more spacious bedrooms, another full bath, and a charming reading nook with a window seat and books for all ages. Outside you'll find an inviting wraparound porch that's perfect for morning coffee or wine and cheese in the evening. There's also a large private yard, lounge chairs, a patio table for outdoor dining, a gas grill, and an enclosed outdoor shower. You'll find equipment like beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and boogie boards on the back deck. The Surfside location is central to beaches, shops, biking and hiking. Take the bike path or back roads to the south shore beaches, just 1.4 miles away. The Nantucket State Forest, just outside the front door, is great for hiking or biking, or try out the public 18-hole disc golf course. Lots of hidden-gem shops are within easy walking distance, including an organic market, a great bakery, a coffee shop, meat and fish markets, a spa, and a bike shop, along with some of the island's best restaurants (now featuring curbside pickup) and the WAVE bus line. With the forest and loads of amenities right here, town less than two miles away, and beaches even closer, this private getaway has it all!
