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.'

That’s because they’re hypocrites.
Talk about double standards.
A four day rental in Nantucket for $3800 is unbelievably cheap. I would like to see what this house looks like.
Typical NIMBY behavior. Not at all surprising.
“Nantucket’s director of culture and tourism Shantaw Bloise-Murphy. Evidently only certain washashore’s are welcome.”
You can tell she is black by her first name *plus* her hyphenated last name, which signals that she is married, thus a force to be reckoned with. Upper class black women (on the gov’t or university dole of course, via a do nothing useful job) are addicted to hyphenated last names.
The spawn of a car dealership magnate is a scammer. Whoever would have guessed that?
Omg! She is outright homely! Bless her heart.
She needs to work on those tan lines................
All are from Grok3 AI>>>>
A rogue from Nantucket hit Phuket,
With a c*ck that could fill any socket.
The girls in both towns,
Wore their lust like a crown,
Swapping tales from Phuket to Nantucket.
From Phuket to Nantucket went Nell,
Whose charms rang a f***ing loud bell.
Her sway and her grin,
Sparked a riot of sin,
Making both ports a heavenly hell.
A captain from Nantucket in Phuket,
Lost his pants to a dame who’d say, “F**k it!”
She’d flirt with such might,
All through day and the night,
Tying Phuket and Nantucket in lust’s net.
Agree, houses rent for $5-25k there a week.
Be VERY wary of anything touted *for the greater good*.
It means it’s NOT good for the individual. Even harmful.
The people who put the scamming spawn of a Delaware car dealer in the White House for the last four years didn't.
Exhibit A!
If you haven’t watched it yet, you must watch “Hot Fuzz”, one of the best and funniest movies I’ve ever watched.
Think that is bad—try the culture at Western Estates and HOA President Bobby Dooley....
‘washashore’
After this:
Starting in June 2025, Nantucket began weekly testing of its sewage for various drugs, including cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, opiates, and nicotine.
Then they dump the effluent offshore. Hence the derogatory ‘washashore’.
I hope that when she ate at their restaurants, she ordered 3 cups of tea and a tall glass of ice with her meals.
Note your three cups of tea would be 3 cups of hot water with a teabag alongside.
Make your three cups of tea then pour them into the glass of ice for iced tea.
For some reason, that upsets the natives and they will get vocal and loud for having iced tea in their establishment.
Sounds like another Molly Brown.
Oh, so she DOES understand the culture and belongs there.
