Oklahoma heiress outrages Nantucket after renting house for summer and breaking billionaire island's secret codes

An Oklahoma heiress has sparked outrage in Nantucket after renting a summer house and allegedly breaking the billionaire enclave's secret codes.

Kylie Swanson, 36, signed a lease in the Massachusetts town and turned the rental house into a $3,800 four-day retreat called 'Camp Nantucket.'

Her Instagram account is filled Swanson posing by with cobblestone streets, ocean-front estates and lighthouses, showing her followers a lifestyle that's out of reach for most.

But Nantucket business owners who rely on summer sales told the Wall Street Journal the influencer disrupted them by demanding free products, comped hotel rooms and discounts for the camp in exchange for social media advertising.

Residents also complained that Swanson brought in vendors from outside Nantucket, where there is an unspoken rule that shopping must be done locally.

As locals see it, Swanson was a so-called 'washashore' who did not understand their culture.

'She basically asked us if we would plan the whole thing for free,' said Mary Goode, a business owner who interacted with Swanson.

'It wasn't offensive to me as much as I realized she didn't understand Nantucket, and how we have 10 weeks to make money,' she said of the summer season trade.

Amid the outrage, an anonymous Instagram account called the Nantucket Brief called out the influencer, calling her the 'Nantucket scammer.'

Meanwhile the owner of an online boutique took to Reddit, claiming she sent Swanson about $400 worth of hats in exchange of social media promotions she never got.

However Swanson, the daughter of a car dealership magnate, defended her Nantucket presence, telling the WSJ: 'My family has Oklahoma money, but it's not Nantucket money.'

She should turn her rental into an AirBNB to really get ‘em hopping mad.
Nantucket limericks are encouraged!

Active and intelligent minds find these Massachusetts clichés unbearably boring.

“”””As locals see it, Swanson was a so-called ‘washashore’ who did not understand their culture. “”””””

My, aren’t we special. I want nothing to do with that culture. They probably don’t even wear jeans there.

Like USAID forcing homo pedophile culture on the turd world. Massholes wouldn’t see the irony though. Nativist wall building segregationist they are. Just not in my back yard etc.

How odd. The locals in places like Nantucket and Maaathaaahs Vinyaaaaahd don’t like it when outsiders come in, ignore their culture, flout their rules and undercut them.

Yet they are big cheerleaders for doing exactly that to the rest of America.

IOW, privileged, elitists object to the unwashed knowing about their pampered, insulated from reality, control freak, power and money hungry, entitled, superior to thou lifestyles.

THEY don’t have to worry about the the consequences of what they decide to inflict on the rest of us *for our own good* as they claim.

How else will their lawns get mowed, their pools cleaned or their childten’s diapers changed?

Their culture? My oh my. How elitist of these “compassionate” lefties on Nantucket. I’m glad this “Red State” heiress is driving them crazy!

Nantucket’s director of culture and tourism Shantaw Bloise-Murphy. Evidently only certain washashore’s are welcome.

“There once was a girl from Nantucket ...”

"To Nantucket came Kylie, all gloss,
Expecting comped meals and no cost.
With fees left unpaid
And promises frayed,
They dubbed her “a grifter in gloss.”

I don’t get this. Nobody forced any of the locals to provide any freebies or anything else to the lessee. All they had to say was “no”.
