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.
