Nantucket Real Estate Updates

Be Patient

As the season quickly approaches, this is the time of year developers get anxious about listing their properties, which they should do if finished, but if it is not quite finished, they're better off waiting until they are 100% finished. The landscape and the finishes are what generate the "wow" factor. Not many buyers ask what type of insulation the house has, but most ask about the counters and tile. Better to be patient and have the "wow" factor than to be hasty and miss the shot...

Despite the headwinds of uncertainty and stubborn interest rates, the market remains healthy. I still believe there will be a rotation out of financial assets into hard assets and no safer place than Nantucket real estate. Year to Date Sales /></td></tr><tr><td style=

We Love Making It Happen

Living the good life with summer on the way. Love to see people getting stoked for their ACK summertime adventures, because as we know, Nantucket is one of the best canvases for creating memories. Time and time again, Team JPFCO encounters plenty of instances where money is not the be-all, end-all, rather, memories are more important than the greenback...

We had a tenant who booked a house for 3 weeks -- the house is mint and all is good, but another house became available for 2 weeks that takes home the gold medal. The homeowner with the trophy house will not give up more than 2 weeks of ACK summertime living, no matter how much $ the tenant offers. Time to make it happen. We work a deal where the tenant stays at the trophy house paying the homeowner for 3 weeks and giving them a week at the already rented mint house. Everyone is happy because we love making it happen!!!

Nantucket Vacation Rental FAQ

You've found your perfect Nantucket vacation rental for this summer; the hard part is over, and a relaxing holiday is within reach! Let's take a look at what comes next.

Do I need to bring anything with me for my rental?
Bath towels, beach towels and bed linens are provided, along with basic household paper products, garbage bags, hand soap, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Kitchens are stocked with basic cookware, including pots, pans, and utensils, as well as dinnerware, allowing for preparation of simple meals. Beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, and coolers are typically provided, but it's a good idea to confirm with your agent, who will also be able to help answer any other specific questions about included amenities.

Do I need to stop by the JPFCO office to pick up keys?
Unless otherwise directed by your agent, you may go directly to the property. Upon your arrival, the house will be unlocked and keys will be left for you inside.

Can you help with grocery shopping, restaurant reservations, and activity planning?
Neither island Stop & Shop locations currently offer grocery delivery or pickup, but your agent can recommend local concierge and provisioning services that can also help with restaurant reservations and activity planning. If you plan to have the fridge and pantry stocked in advance, get in touch with your agent ahead of time to find out whether the property will be ready for a delivery.

How does the security deposit work?
A typical security deposit is 10% of the rental cost, but since it's ultimately up to the homeowner, some may require a higher deposit. The deposit is due with the second payment and is refunded within 60 days of checkout, barring any damages, excessive cleaning, long distance phone calls, cable charges, etc. Following your departure, the return is initiated after your agent connects with the homeowner, who then confirms with the cleaning service and caretaker that everything is functioning properly and is in expected condition.

Avoid surprises by reviewing your vacation rental's amenity list ahead of time. Do you still have questions? Don't hesitate to reach out to your JPFCO rental agent for clarification or to inquire about something specific.

Your summer getaway awaits -- let the countdown begin!
