The Tour: Gull Cottage, a conveniently located historic Cape , built in the 1820's, was moved from Cliff Rd. to its current setting as a nurses wing of the Nantucket Cottage Hospital at 19 West Chester St in 1929. When the hospital moved, it was reverted to a private residence. This air conditioned home sleeps 8 and was completely redecorated in the spring of 2006. It is just a short walk to Main St. shopping, restaurants and the harbor, Brandt point, Children's Beach and Jetties Beach . West Chester St. is a peaceful street lined with historic homes and large Elm trees. We love how the early morning mist rains from the huge trees. All beds have Matouk Linens over pillow top mattresses. You will have a difficult time deciding whether to get up early for a walk to the harbor for coffee or just sleeping in. These beds are heaven on earth! WARNING –you may have to wake up the previous tenants and kick them out! Actually, our maid service takes care of that.

The ground level master suite has a California king, flat screen TV, armoire, small library and needlepoint Louis XIV style chair w/ottoman. A private bath is attached. The upstairs has two bedrooms with twins and one with a queen. A large bath is located off the hall. All bedrooms have TVs. The kids will enjoy the huge Leggo set. Baths are outfitted with Frette towels and Speakman shower heads. The new commercial washer and dryer make fluffing towels and bathing suits a cinch. The living room has an elegant summer home feel to it that will make you feel right at home. You and your family can kick back, relax and enjoy each others company. Hi definition cable TV and DVD player are located in a hand carved armoire along with a DVD movie library. WIFI and internet phone with continental long distance is included. WARNING – you will fall asleep in the antique reclining chair w/oversize ottoman!

The bead board kitchen has a bright airy feel and is well outfitted for most gourmet cooking tasks. It has a TV, radio and CD player. A powder room is located off of the kitchen. The patio has a new state of the art gas grill with side burner and rotisserie. A large table with umbrella seats six comfortably. A second small round table and seating for four are folded up in the storage area off of the patio. There are two chaises. A canvas of pink roses, hydrangeas and privet surround you. The chairs and chaises have covers so they are always dry, comfy and clean. The dining room is furnished with an expandable antique table with six ladder back rush chairs and an additional rare collection of six authentic Hitchcock chairs. Colorful, hand painted, English china will make your dinner parties a success! Additional items include: Beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, 2 insulated picnic baskets and beach toys. Parking in the driveway for one car.
