Staying at The Martin Inn was nothing short of magical, and I cannot say enough about how perfect my experience was. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home—and was immediately welcomed with warm, freshly baked cookies courtesy of David, the innkeeper. That small gesture set the tone for the entire stay: thoughtful, personal. The inn itself is stunning, but what really makes it exceptional is the people. David is truly the heart and soul of The Martin Inn. He went above and beyond in every way, from anticipating needs before I had to ask, to offering incredible local recommendations, to creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and welcoming. The housekeeping team also deserves recognition—they were kind, attentive, and clearly hardworking, keeping everything spotless and comfortable throughout my stay. Every morning, breakfast was a highlight—The amenities were top-notch, but the backyard stole my heart: a cozy fire pit for evenings, an outdoor shower that felt wonderfully refreshing, and plenty of chairs to relax and take in the Nantucket charm. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and luxury. The Martin Inn is, without question, a true gem on Nantucket. But what makes it unforgettable is the team behind it—especially David.Quite frankly, he is the reason I can’t wait to come back, and I hope ownership recognizes what an irreplaceable asset they have in him. I would recommend The Martin Inn to anyone, and I’m already counting down the days until my return!

Lovely clean bedroom. Overall a lovely, quiet, lowkey place and process. Just perfect for what we were looking for. Calm, quiet vibes. We met Dave when we arrived half an hour early and our room was ready.

I had a wonderful time staying here. The inn provided thoughtful amenities, including bathrobes, shampoo and conditioner, daily housekeeping, and a consistently restocked fridge. The continental breakfast and complimentary cookies were definite highlights! A special shoutout to David, the innkeeper—he was incredibly diligent and quick to communicate. Highly recommend!

The location was an easy walk to and from the ferry for me, and I found the room cozy and well equipped. It was a blustery March day and I was happy for the excellent baseboard heating as well.
