The Kensington House on upper Main Street is located in one of the most ideal spots on the island and makes downtown shopping, access to Madaket bike path, and everything in between a breeze. There are three comfortable sitting rooms with smart TVs and bluetooth soundbars, a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and granite counters, and dining options both inside and out. A patio (please note, a deck is showing in the photos, it has been removed and the patio will be photographed once finished in the spring of 2026) with comfortable furniture and a cedar outshower are awaiting your return at the end of your fun day at the beach!

First Floor

From the parking area, enter onto the covered porch and into the open kitchen with center island, adjacent to the living room with a Smart TV. Opposite the stairwell leading to the lower level is a bathroom with a glass shower, which services those sleeping in the lower level bedroom.
