Brant Point Courtyard

The Resort and Its Setting

Brant Point Courtyard sits at 15 Swain St in Nantucket, an easy stroll from the harbour and the historic downtown. It's an independent resort — not part of a major timeshare brand — which generally means a smaller, more low-key property than the large chain resorts found elsewhere in New England. Reviewers rate it 4.6 out of 5 from a modest number of guests, suggesting a resort that's well cared for and well liked by the people who actually stay there, even if it isn't widely known outside its existing owner base.

Nantucket: The Real Draw

The resort's biggest asset is its location. Nantucket is one of New England's best-preserved island towns, with roots going back to the 1600s and a downtown built on the proceeds of the whaling trade. Grey-shingled houses, cobblestone lanes, independent galleries and waterfront restaurants give the town a distinct, unhurried character that's protected by strict preservation rules — nothing here feels mass-produced. Owners at Brant Point Courtyard are close enough to walk into town for dinner or a wander round the shops, and close enough to the harbour to catch a whale-watching trip or a fishing charter without needing a car.

Beyond the town itself, the island rewards slow exploration: quiet beaches, bike paths, and a genuine change of pace from the mainland. Nantucket is reached by ferry from Hyannis (around an hour's crossing) or by small plane into Nantucket Memorial Airport, and many visitors find they don't need a rental car at all once they're on the island.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Brant Point Courtyard and are thinking about selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Brant Point Courtyard is an independent resort rather than part of a branded timeshare system, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than through a large corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to confirm two things: the transfer fee they'll charge to move the deed or contract into the buyer's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since both can affect what a buyer is willing to pay. Ask as well whether the association holds any right of first refusal on resale — some independent resorts do, which can affect how quickly a sale goes through. These figures aren't published anywhere, so get them in writing from the resort before you commit to a sale.

For renters, the appeal is simple: a quiet, central base in one of the more atmospheric small towns on the East Coast, within walking distance of restaurants, galleries and the harbour, during a season when Nantucket accommodation books up quickly.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Nantucket is highly seasonal. Summer brings warm weather, full restaurant bookings and a lively island atmosphere — book ferries and dinner reservations well ahead if renting out a July or August week. Spring and autumn are quieter and generally more affordable, with smaller crowds but still pleasant weather, which can make a shoulder-season week easier to rent at short notice. Winter on the island is noticeably quiet, with many seasonal businesses closed, so demand for weeks in that period tends to be lower.
