78 Milk Street Ext · Nantucket, Massachusetts
The owners’ own cottage on the compound — vaulted shiplap ceilings, a captain’s collection of ships and instruments, a four-poster suite of its own, and a private pool and cabana just for this house.
The Kitchen
White shaker cabinets run up to a vaulted, white-planked ceiling, with gray subway tile, gray stone counters and a stainless farmhouse sink. Lightship baskets line the cabinet tops, a harpoon-glass pendant hangs over the island, and a set of cushioned chairs pulls up to it for morning coffee.
Book a StayThe Sitting Room
Pale-blue walls under a vaulted shiplap ceiling, a soft blue slipcovered sectional, and the family’s nautical collection all around: a model schooner on the wall, a brass ship’s wheel, a brass telescope on a tripod at the window and an engine-order telegraph standing beside it.

The Family Room
A deeper blue room under a white coffered ceiling, with a curved navy sofa dressed in rust and Nantucket pillows, framed island paintings on the walls, and a tucked-in desk with a monitor for anyone who has to catch up on a little work.

The Primary Suite
A white four-poster made up in a blue-and-green seashell spread, with a hand-painted green armoire, a cheval mirror and a painted blanket chest at the foot of the bed. The same room opens to its own sitting area — two blue armchairs around a wicker coffee table — so the suite works as a retreat of its own.
The Powder Room
Sea-glass walls and white beadboard, a round mirror ringed in capiz shells lit by nautical sconces, and a white vessel sink on a navy vanity. A gold-framed pastel of dune grass and catboats hangs over it, with a driftwood ship’s wheel and a row of little model boats around the corner.
The Pool & Cabana
Captain’s Quarters shares its own heated pool with The Crew as the Hummock Hideaway — a bluestone-wrapped pool with a built-in spa and a volleyball net across the water, a shingled cabana with its own bar, an outdoor kitchen, and a fire-pit ring of navy Adirondack chairs, all under the flags on the pole.
