From the charming streets of Nantucket to the coastal shores of New England, Meg Young’s vision of coastal living has captivated many. As the founder of Cailini Coastal, she has built a brand synonymous with refined coastal decor and effortless elegance. But her latest venture, the ACK Beachhouse—her own Nantucket home and a stunning showpiece for Cailini Coastal—takes her passion for island living to new heights, offering a blend of luxury and authenticity in a space that’s available for rental and celebration.
Cailini Coastal: A Foundation Built on Style
Cailini Coastal (pronounced Cah-lean-ee) means “Coastal Girls” in Irish, an homage to Meg’s two young daughters and their family’s heritage. Founded in April 2020, Cailini Coastal began as a personal passion project for Meg Young, a lifelong design aficionado. She wanted to offer high-quality, unique coastal-inspired decor that helped people create the perfect, well-curated home. Cailini Coastal specializes in the finishing touches that make a room feel complete and transform a house into a home.
“We believe any space can be transformed with the right accents,” says Meg. “We’re purveyors of those finishing touches, from floor coverings and furniture to home accessories and wall art. Our goal is to help our customers create a space they truly love.”
The brand curates a selection of high-quality items, with an emphasis on timeless design that blends the airy simplicity of California coastal living with the refined elegance of the East Coast. The pieces reflect Meg’s personal style and belief that a home should be both functional and beautifully designed.
Beyond its stunning decor, Cailini Coastal is built on a foundation of purposeful giving. Meg and her family care deeply about helping families in need, which is why the brand has partnered with Family Promise, a national non-profit organization that helps low-income families and those experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence.
“We wanted to do more than just create beautiful spaces,” Meg explains. “We wanted to give back. Family Promise is doing incredible work, and we’re proud to support their efforts in providing families with the opportunity to create a stable, permanent home.”
The Birth of ACK Beachhouse: A New Chapter
While Cailini Coastal continues to thrive, Meg’s new island home, referred to as the ACK Beachhouse on her social channels, brings her vision to life in an entirely new way. Located on the beautiful island of Nantucket, the house is not just a home—it’s a living, breathing showpiece of Cailini Coastal. The house is available for rental, offering guests the chance to experience the refined coastal living Meg designs in an intimate, immersive setting. From the design of each room to the carefully selected home goods, the property encapsulates the relaxed elegance and style of coastal living, all while honoring the island’s rich heritage.
“The idea for ACK Beachhouse came from wanting to create a place that truly reflected the island’s beauty and the vision behind Cailini Coastal,” explains Meg. “It’s not just a home; it’s a place where people can immerse themselves in what it means to live well by the coast.”
What to Expect from the ACK Beachhouse
On Nantucket, visitors will find much more than just a place to stay. The house is a showcase of Meg’s signature design aesthetic, with Cailini Coastal pieces thoughtfully curated throughout. Guests can enjoy an environment where every corner reflects the relaxed, yet sophisticated style of Nantucket.
The space offers a range of home goods, from handwoven textiles and custom furniture to coastal-inspired decor. Guests staying at the ACK Beachhouse will not only enjoy its aesthetic beauty but also experience firsthand how Meg’s designs elevate the living experience. The home is available for rental, providing an exclusive opportunity for those looking to fully embrace coastal living while indulging in luxury.
“I wanted people to feel like they are truly experiencing Nantucket when they stay here,” says Meg. “Everything in this house is meant to make people feel like they’re stepping into a space that’s both elevated and approachable.”
Meg’s entrepreneurial journey has always been about more than just design—it’s about creating authentic, meaningful experiences. With Cailini Coastal and the ACK Beachhouse, she’s not just selling products; she’s offering a complete lifestyle—a vision of coastal elegance that reflects both the island’s beauty and her personal connection to it.
Along with her family—who plays a vital role in the vision and success of both brands—Meg has created a space that’s a true reflection of her values: quality, authenticity, and a deep love for the island. Her family’s support and involvement have been integral to her journey, ensuring that both Cailini Coastal and ACK Beachhouse reflect the essence of togetherness and community that define her life on Nantucket.
Meg Young joined us as an esteemed guest at BLOOM: The Creative Women’s Summit in Westerly this June, where she shared her thoughtful approach to design, storytelling, and coastal living.
