Rentometer, Inc. | Data as of 10/23/2025

Nantucket’s rental market reflects the island’s unique blend of historic charm, coastal beauty, and a vibrant seasonal community. Visitors and long‑term residents alike are drawn to the cobblestone streets of the historic district, the iconic Brant Point Light, and the pristine beaches of Siasconset and Madaket. These attractions, combined with a strong demand for upscale living spaces, shape a market that favors spacious homes and well‑maintained apartments. While the island offers a limited selection of apartments, the majority of rentals are detached houses, many of which provide multi‑bedroom layouts ideal for families or groups seeking a full‑service seaside retreat.

For larger households, 4+ bedroom houses dominate the high‑end segment, with rent typically falling in the $15,000s and median values hovering around the $17,000 range. These properties often feature waterfront views, private docks, and historic architectural details that complement Nantucket’s preserved New England aesthetic. Neighborhoods such as Oak Hollow and Siasconset are especially popular for their proximity to golf courses, sailing clubs, and upscale dining. Whether you’re looking for a seasonal summer home, a year‑round residence, or a short‑term vacation rental, Nantucket’s well‑curated housing options provide both comfort and a distinctive island lifestyle.
