Surfside: wide beaches and room for the whole family.

The family-compound heart of the south shore.

Surfside is built around the island's widest, most swimmable south-shore beaches — and the bike path that runs straight to town. It's Nantucket's family neighborhood: compounds with guest cottages, big yards, and summers measured in beach days. Buyers searching for Surfside Nantucket homes for sale usually want space for three generations.

Lots here historically allowed for main-house-plus-cottage arrangements, and that compound format is exactly what the rental market and multi-family buyers compete for.

"Surfside is where I send buyers who say the same thing: we want everyone under one roof — or at least on one lot." — Sean Kalman
