Siasconset

Charming Village by the Sea

Overview

A Storybook Coastal Village

Siasconset, affectionately known as 'Sconset,' embodies the quintessential Nantucket village experience. This charming enclave features historic 18th and 19th-century rose-covered cottages that reach peak bloom in early July, creating a storybook setting that marries classic gray Nantucket shingles with English country charm. The village maintains an authentic, unhurried atmosphere that feels worlds away from modern life, with narrow lanes and dramatic oceanfront bluffs overlooking the Atlantic.

The area includes the historic Sconset village center with its post office, general store (Sconset Market), and iconic Sconset Casino. Front Street—one of the most photographed places on the island—features charming cottages with roses cascading over fences and roofs. The legendary Sconset Bluff Walk, a scenic public pathway through front yards overlooking the bluff, offers stunning shingle-style cottages with spectacular ocean views. Oceanfront properties along Baxter Road offer some of the island's most spectacular views, while village cottages provide intimate, character-filled living. The Summer House offers beach-side dining with beautiful ocean views, while Claudette's serves award-winning sandwiches.

Sconset appeals to those seeking authentic Nantucket charm, artistic inspiration, and a tight-knit community atmosphere. The village's timeless beauty and ocean setting make it one of the island's most beloved neighborhoods. Codfish Park and Playground provides a great place for families, while Sankaty Lighthouse—one of the most pictured lighthouses in New England—overlooks the Sankaty Golf Course and provides a perfect backdrop for any event photo. The village's unhurried pace and natural beauty create an idyllic retreat just 8.5 miles from downtown.
