Spacious home in village-perfect for families, groups-multiple spaces to gather

Double Happiness is located two blocks from the historic seaside Village of Siasconset on the eastern edge of Nantucket Island where the sun rises first in the United States. It's a short walk to the life-guarded beach and the classic rose-covered cottage village which has a summer movie theater, three great restaurants, a seaside bar, Claudette's sandwich shop, liquor store, food market, beachfront playground, and a post office. Kids can easily ride bikes to the Sconset Market for ice cream cones or to one of the two scenic bike paths that lead to other parts of the island.

The two story home is an almost 4000 sq ft, newly renovated 6 bedroom, 3 full bathroom house on a corner lot with a landscaped yard enclosed by privet hedges. There are three off-street parking places, two of them on private Comeau Lane, and three separate outdoor seating areas: a spacious teak deck a with gas grill, a balcony off the second floor master bedroom, and a dining table under a shady tree. At the rear of the house there is an outdoor shower and a laundry line for beach towels.

The house has an open concept, lots of natural light, with many places to gather and hang out, or to be private. On the first floor there is a large living room with a flat screen TV and Comcast Xfinity cable, an open dining room/kitchen area with high end appliances. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make great meals or to entertain. Beyond the living/dining area French pocket doors lead to a marble floor sun room with a storage closet and a sliding glass door that opens to the deck and yard. There are also two large bedrooms with queen beds, closets and entrance. These bedrooms share a separate full modern bath with a shower and bathtub.

The newly designed second floor has four bedrooms and two full baths all with cathedral ceilings. The master bedroom (queen bed) is spacious with a walk in closet and a beautiful master bath with his and her sinks, a glass shower, skylight, and heated tile floors. A second bedroom has two twin beds; the other two bedrooms have queen beds and each has plenty of closet space. These bedrooms share a third full bathroom with heated marble floors, a large soaking tub, and a separate glass shower.

There is high speed internet throughout the house. A first floor door leads to a laundry and storage area in the basement. The house has everything you need for days on the beach, chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, croquet, badminton, and other sports and cooking equipment: a large lobster pot, etc. The linen closet in the first floor bath is stocked with beach blankets and towels as well as bath towels and linens. All the ceiling lighting fixtures in the house are on dimmers for control. The newly restored public Siasconset Golf Club is a five minute drive. The Sconset Bluff walk is two blocks away - waves can be heard crashing on windy days and the Sankaty Light beam plays across Double happiness at night.

Wonderful Stay in Sconset

Our stay at Double Happiness was fantastic! We arrived to find lovely fresh flowers and Melissa was a totally responsive, helpful host. Such a beautiful, spacious, clean home. A pleasant walk to everything in Sconset. Beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are nicely renovated. Kitchen is modern and well stocked with all you might need for meals and drinks. Lots of chairs, games and towels for the beach. The deck was lined by gorgeous bright blue hydrangeas, and we loved starting and ending the day on the couches there. Hope to stay again!

Excellent vacation!

We have been vacationing on Nantucket for many years and have a lot of rental experience. This was by far the best overall experience. Great communication with the owner before, during, and after our stay. Melissa is extremely accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Above and beyond cleaning for COVID. The house is STUNNING - like vacationing in an art galley near the beach. But also very comfortable and cozy. We had three families with plenty of room, inside and outside. Everything is provided for you (linens, towels, beach gear, etc.) Great chef's kitchen and grill for making huge family meals with local ingredients. We walked, biked, and drove to town and the beach every day. 'Sconset is a magical part of an already magical island and this house is perfect for families, couples, and/or a group of friends!

This was a perfect stay, even more beautiful than the photos. There was tons of space, and every amenity you could need for cooking or heading to the beach. Excellent communication with the hosts. I would stay here again on a future trip.

Perfect for wedding

I rented this house for my son’s wedding over Labor Day weekend. There were 10 of us staying there … plenty of space for all and great location. The house is very well equipped. I had a group over for dinner one night and I didn’t need to bring a thing. There was a slow cooker, tons of pots and pans and dishes/silverware. I would definitely stay here again!

Home Away From Home in Siasconset Neighborhood

Double Happiness is perfectly located a short walk from the Siasconset Center and from the Bluff Walk, and slightly longer walks to Low Beach where the gray seals gather this time of year and Sankaty Lighthouse. As cyclists, we also loved being close to entrances to the Milestone and Poplis bike paths. It feels as if you're staying in someone's home with lots of books and original art; and it's very comfortable, with everything you need for cooking, grilling, beach visits, ... The owners are very helpful, live close by, and are available if you need them or have questions -- and they warmly agreed to our entire menagerie also being guests!

A perfect house for a group

Melissa and John were amazing hosts. The booking process was smooth and they were even flexible given the Pandemic. The check in process was smooth, and they had left loads of information for us for when we arrived. The house itself is stunning - big (can easily fit 5-6 couples), perfectly decorated, great mix of indoor and outdoor space. Well located in sconset a 10 min walk to town and the beach. Nice quiet getaway spot near to everything. We will surely be staying here again!

Just perfect!

What a fantastic stay at Double Happiness in Sconset. The neighborhood is fantastic and the house, as promised, is within close proximity to the historic village, Bluff Walk and beach. Melissa is a terrific host and her home is just stunning - it’s wonderfully appointed with all that you need for a fantastic getaway with friends and it’s spacious enough so everyone had space to spread out and be comfortable (we were a party of 9, including two kids and a dog). We’re already talking about returning next summer.... it’s a beautiful spot and will not disappoint. Thank you, Melissa, for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful house and location

We had a fantastic time. The house is beautiful and extremely comfortable. Plenty of room for a large group (we were 6 adults and 6 kids). Lovely deck for dining and relaxing, and the house is well stocked with everything you'd need for cooking and dining - this is clearly a home, not just a rental. Melissa was extremely responsive and helpful with anything we needed. Easy walking distance to the beach, tennis, bike paths, and Sconset center. Couldn't recommend more highly!
