Situated south from Cape Cod, the tiny island features dune-backed beaches, museums and galleries–including the Maria Mitchell Association and the Nantucket Whaling Museum–restaurants, high-end boutiques, and steepled churches. Called the “faraway land”, it is a perfect place to vacation. The population of the island increases during vacation seasons, and you can find as many as over 50,000 people during the period. If you are planning a vacation in Nantucket, then these holiday homes are definitely top picks. Here is a list of some of the best HomeAway vacation rentals in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
