We enjoyed our stay and were grateful for the young woman who was on the property to attend our needs. It would be nice to have light breakfast foods available. Fruits, muffins cereals. Something easy we could have with tea or coffee before heading out for the day. A thought for future visitors.

The property was superb. The building manager, Audrey, was wonderful! The room was quite comfortable and very charming with amenities like a microwave oven, coffee maker and refrigerator. The shower was exquisite! The king-size bed was relaxing. For the height of the tourist season, the facility was QUIET. We felt like we had the place to ourselves, but did see other guests coming and going. Very walkable to town center and the ferry dock; yes, about 10 minutes.

We loved everything about Centerboard--the silence, the comfort of the room, the large shower (don't forget to sing in the shower), the short distance to everything, including the Steamship Authority. It was simple to move in and out and had the room key waiting for us. We will definitely return on our next trip to Nantucket. Can't wait!!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay! Quiet, quaint, in the heart of downtown. We walked everywhere and thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the Inn to decompress. We loved the fire pit out front, front porch, and picnic table in the back. Audrey, the housekeeper, was so kind when we saw her and our room was always sparkling clean and refreshed. Service looks more like an “Airbnb” with door codes and your own check in rather than concierge, but we didn’t mind it at all. The interior decor was beautiful and tasteful, something I didn’t feel like was totally captured in my hunt - it may have recently been updated! I found The Centerboard to be one of the more affordable options on island and it had absolutely everything we needed.
