Quidnet is located at the eastern end of the island between the villages of Siasconset and Wauwinet. Quidnet was originally a fishing hamlet of low modest houses and sits high above the ocean with access as well to Sesachacha Pond. The pond is opened up to the ocean each year to help circulation and to keep it from becoming stagnant. The ocean beach faces dues east with no land mass between Quidnet and Portugal. There is not much public parking so the beaches tend not to be too crowded. Quidnet is literally at the end of island and the village itself feels much as it has for the past 100 years. More recent development has occurred between the Polpis Road and Quidnet village. For many years there were very few properties that ever came on the market in Quidnet as they were handed down from generation to generation.
There were only 4 sales in Quidnet in the past 12 months. Because we know Quidnet very well, Atlantic East Nantucket Real Estate brokered 3 of the sales and was consulted on the 4th one. The average selling price was $2,829.750 and the median was $2,762,500. The average days on the market was 629 days, considerably longer than the market average due primarily to one listing that was for sale for nearly 5 years.

The highest price paid for a property in Quidnet in the past 12 months was $4,500,000 for 66 Quidnet Road, an historic former life-saving station located on 4 acres of direct oceanfront that had a conservation restriction limiting future building.
