Nantucket residents can choose from 12 colors for home exteriors, but it’s not much of a contest: The shingled cottages are almost exclusively misty gray with crisp white trim. Each home is perfectly detailed all the way up to the widow’s walk and weathervane, which is often a mermaid or a masted ship, and bunches of summer roses help convey a sense of rustic elegance.
Some 400 years of history endures on this remote island off the coast of Massachusetts, even while the community has modernized famously. Days are spent on a sailboat, at the beach, on the golf course, or on gentle bike trails. You can rent an all-terrain vehicle and have a ball skidding over the sand dunes. There are cranberry bogs and lighthouses, whales and bird populations, saltwater taffy and lobster bibs and chowder, ferries to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard—plenty to keep you occupied during your stay. Shops in tidy Nantucket lean upscale with designer clothing, antiques, and one-of-a-kind gifts, though flip-flops and faded togs in the signature color, Nantucket Red, are the height of island style.
