This topic has already begun to come up, and I have responded to one query about the week of August 4 with the suggestion that the poster book early,
This message comes from a real estate company I respect, and I pass it on without naming the company:
"The rental season on Nantucket has started strong with bookings up nearly 30% compared to last year at this time. Vacation rental inquiries started early this season with many people re-booking homes shortly after their 2011 stay. Not surprisingly, the weeks of August 4th and 11th are the most sought after with few available options remaining. It pays to be flexible in your travel dates; there are many quality rental homes available in July, late August and during one of the loveliest months on the island, September."
I am not in the real estate business, do not own any rental property, nor does the real estate company in question know that I am posting this quotation from their newsletter. I will not be compensated financially or in any other way for this post.
I get lots of questions on this forum because I live in Nantucket, and I am providing this as information to potential visitors. I am happy to answer other questions.

I believe the same is true of the Jersey shore this year.
Are you back up north, Akislander? I hope you enjoyed your stay in our lovely state this year. You certainly had some mild weather but I think you would have in Masschusetts this year too.
I am leaving this weekend, Birdie, though I was in Mass for health reasons for most of March. It was a great winter everywhere!
Have a good return trip, Akislander. I'm sorry to hear about the health problems and hoping you stay in good health.
Some year we'll have to have a gtg for you. There are some very lovely Fodorites that live in Richmond.
