We had the pleasure of staying at 13 Lyons Lane this summer for the first of what we hope will be many years to come. The home is lovely and very well maintained with beautiful grounds and plantings. The views from the second floor balcony are truly special and a great spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening stargazing. The home has all the comforts necessary for a terrific Nantucket vacation, including the all-important outdoor shower! The owners were a pleasure to deal with, and we would give this home (and owners) the highest rating.

"I almost don’t want to advertise how perfectly comfortable, serene and meticulous we found this home. The space was open, bright and breezy, and easily accommodated our four children and babysitter. The space is so cleverly designed, we never felt on top of one another (a quality we can’t boast about our own home). The outdoor shower, gracious yard and quiet neighborhood made the everyday moments more memorable than the planned outings. So seldom do you find utility melded with charm. We also appreciated the proximity to the bike paths and the quaint town of Siasconset, as the whole family often took a ride to the general store and fantastic cafe. Though we’ve rented many lovely vacation homes over the years, this is by far our favorite."

Summer 2009 (July) Update. We returned again to Howard's house this summer because we had such a nice stay last year. Again, the house was meticulously maintained, very clean, and beautifully landscaped. It is always great to return to such a nice house after a day on the beach or in-town. We are already looking forward to returning here in 2010.

We have been summer visitors to 13 Lyons Lane for 7 or 8 years now, and we have seen our children grow up here! The kids love the beautiful lawn and gardens for early morning bird and bunny watching, and for late night star gazing. My husband and I love the master suite and deck, and enjoy coffee every morning with a beautiful view of the treetops and the ocean, and Sankaty Lighthouse in the distance. In our busy lives we crave the quiet and privacy we find at 13 Lyons Lane, and delight in the welcoming details of the house and garden. We look forward to returning often!

" We stayed at Howard's house for the first time last year, and have already reserved a week for the upcoming Summer of '09. The house is beautiful, immaculate, and very well maintained. There is plenty of space for a large family or 2 smaller families. The master bedroom suite is fantastic, with plenty of privacy and access to a 2nd story deck with great views both night and day. Everyone in our party was extremely happy staying at this house -- all the amenities you could ask for and located on what we consider the nicest area of the island."
