Nantucket is magical this time of year. The hydrangeas, the quaint streets, the amazing beaches, it all adds up to a beautiful scene. But for most of us, we are forced to either day trip, book a hotel room or try our luck with Airbnb. However, none of these offer the same level of experience as if you own your own vacation house on Nantucket—space to spread out, a backyard to grill and plenty of bedrooms for all the family and friends you desire to bring with you. This is where Exclusive Resorts comes in.  Exclusive Resorts owns luxury properties all over the world, but unlike other luxury rentals, you do not need to commit to long stays. Book for a few days or a month, and you are in for a special trip.

Before our visit the team at Exclusive Resorts connected us with an on-island concierge. She was exceptional, a Nantucket local, she shared all the must-dos and suggestions appropriate for all everyone in my family. Because she got to know us before the trip, she knew exactly what we would like and what we wouldn’t. She was also able to get us reservations that I couldn’t secure myself. Having someone native to the island at our fingertips was so helpful when it came to asking her questions about what specifically to order, is this beach
