Discover the perfect retreat for family reunions, multi-family vacations, corporate getaways, overflow accommodations for large wedding guest parties and other large groups - in our historic Nantucket home. This beautiful 10-bedroom Historic Sea Captain's house and former Bed & Breakfast - turned private vacation rental, offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities, comfortably sleeping 22 guests.
PRIME LOCATION:
Situated in 'Towne' one of Nantucket most vibrant villages, and just steps from Main Street, the Ha Penny House allows you to explore Nantucket's rich history and vibrant culture with ease. Wander two blocks to the Nantucket Whaling Museum, and immerse yourself in the grandeur of this historic whaling port at sea, known as "Yesterday's Island". Here, you can pick up "The Wave"- Nantucket's seasonal shuttle service, a convenient way to get to the beaches and the more remote areas of the Island. You can bring your bike on the bus to access the 75 miles of stunning bike paths located across the island.
Indulge in gourmet dining and charming cafes, or enjoy some retail therapy as you browse the galleries, and shops downtown. Children’s Beach, featuring a play ground, Child-safe swim area, and overlooking Nantucket Harbor, is just two blocks away, making for an ideal day of family fun for little ones.
