4.5 Gay Street was part of 6 Gay Street, and was subdivided in 1958, to Vice Admiral of the Navy, Marcel A.E. Gouin, from his family (who owned 6 Gay Street). He was a Nantucket native, naval aviator, graduate of the Naval Academy, and Commander of the Aircraft carrier Midway just after World War II. There was a barn on the site, which he took down to build the cottage. Nowadays, the home has been completely renovated, repainted and refurnished and offers in-Town convenience with traditional charm. The brick courtyard area offers an additional quiet retreat and features Adirondack-style furnishings. There is no outdoor grill permitted at the property. There is no off-street parking at the property, but a street permit may be obtained at the Nantucket Police Station. Just minutes from Downtown Nantucket, this vacation home offers traditional Nantucket charm. The outdoor courtyard area provides space and privacy for entertainment, while the convenient location makes trips shopping, or to the beach very accessible.
