Summer Rental

Anyone remember the movie Summer Rental, good god I loved that movie. I even made my husband watch it recently because I talked about it so often.  I live for 80's movies. They so much remind me of my childhood. Anywho...I am often asked about our rentals on Nantucket so I thought I would share them all here with links for you all to enjoy them too! We have been going to Nantucket well before being married or even engaged. I believe this will be our tenth summer this season where we can't wait to return with our mini to show him this happy little island in it's best time of year. Please feel free to ask me any questions about each home if you have them. I have provided online reviews for them but happy to be of any help I can be if you need help with planning a trip on island. 

The below captain house we rented for a week during the fabulous Holiday Stroll this past year was a great location in town with walking distance to everything. The details of this home were bananas. They even decorated it beautifully for Christmas. They restored this home back to all it's glory with extreme attention to detail. It was absolutely beautiful, we so look forward to returning next Christmas. We even took our holiday card right on their porch!

In Town Captain House

The summer before we stayed at two separate homes and man both were really great.  The below home is located just outside out of town but a very short drive to everything you want. Beaches, market, town etc. It is a new home with all the amenities you could wish for in a summer getaway.

This in town home is not only an amazing location with parking - holla! It also huge, great for big families. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the living space is cozy, new and comfortable. I wanted to move in. The yard is great for BBQ's or having any meal al fresco. 

Last but certainly not least, this in town home is petite with a powerful punch. We stayed here for seven summers we loved it so much. Good lord we had SO many fun times in this house. We only stopped renting it because we needed more room with baby and didn't want to have him on a separate floor from us. 

Happy Vacationing!

Style & Real Estate - Laguna Beach

The super brutal winter here in Boston has left me feeling sour towards our little city. We often joke our dream life would include living on Nantucket in the summer, Boston in the autumn/spring and somewhere warm for the winter. Our brief getaway to St. Barth's has me majorly craving long summer days, the feeling of the sun on my skin, the ability to leave the house without layers and trading in my snow boots for flip flops. I feel it's safe to say that after the holidays and the first snow fall winter loses it's luster. So while that dreamy habitation of a new city for each season may not be realistic we have seriously considered renting a home somewhere new and warm for a year before we have any real commitments to home ownership, pet's or a family of our own. I have searched every warm weather climate I could think from the east coast to the desert southwest and finally California where I stumbled upon this amazing little black and white cottage that has me quickly reaching for the suntan lotion and packing my bags with summer clothes. I seriously can't believe how adorable this rental is and being steps from the beach is really just a luxury I would donate an organ for. It's so hard to find rentals that have stylish furnishings and finishes. This bungalow has it all and much much more. Take a look at all the gorgeous photos and shop some home items at the bottom to get this modern beach look for yourself.
