Many Castles is a completely furnished and equipped "upside-down" house located on the south side of Nantucket Island. Access to Many Castles is provided by a privately maintained road which winds through more than a mile of conservation land in beautiful Maddequecham Valley. This exclusive area of the Island is protected by Nantucket law and consists of only a dozen or so homes nestled among several thousand acres of moors, meadows and beaches. Yet you are only several minutes by car from the shopping and excitement of Nantucket Town.
Built in 1983 in a style reminiscent of the Federal Period with its hipped roof and ornamental widow's walk, Many Castles is situated to take maximum advantage of 180 degree ocean views from the expansive second level walk-out deck. A broad, sandy ocean beach, well known by island natives for its privacy, beauty and excellent fishing is just a ten minute walk down an idilic path through unspoiled heartland and meadows. Or enjoy volleyball at our backyard court.
