There were a number of positives and negatives; the positives:
- good sized main living room
- nice large, shady deck for outdoor meals
- good outdoor seating
- outdoor shower was useful
- reasonably close to beautiful beaches
Some negatives:
- large main yard was unmowed, which was unpleasant and we weren't really able to use it
- decks had some protruding nail heads, which were somewhat treacherous
- washer and dryer were old and took a long time to run and were very noisy
- window screens and screen door were poorly fitting/broken, and left large gaps, which resulted in some insect issues
- small ants were spotted in kitchen cupboards and on kitchen floor
- screen slider didn't slide well / was broken (though still usable)
- lack of AC made sleeping uncomfortable
- furniture was musty; furniture covers had rips and stains
- stove had only three small burners working (main one was broken)
- refrigerator shelf fell down three times, seemed broken also (we ultimately left it down)
- yard and deck still had some confetti and some paraphernalia from a bachelorette party were left in the house
overall, it could have been cleaner, and there were some other inconveniences... I would definitely return to Nantucket, but I would probably not rent this place again
