The room was spotless and tastefully decorated, with a lovely peek at the harbor. The staff were very friendly, and the location is perfectly convenient for getting around town. Breakfast was enjoyable; adding a selection of fresh berries would make it even better.

We loved staying here and enjoyed the local laidback vibes. The breakfast was delicious and the room was lovely. The housekeeping staff was so kind. All of the check in and communication was clear and easy to follow. Taxi suggestions and brochures in the house gave us plenty of options to stay busy! Thanks for a great stay!

This is the perfect location for exploring Nantucket and the downtown area you can walk to virtually everything took me five minutes to get off the ferry to the house . The manager was very present at the property and very communicative sharing restaurant recommendations and just very helpful with stories about the filming downtown of the Elin Hildebrand movie . Very nice kitchen area with French bistro chairs, a nice gathering place for the guests. A warm inviting place to stay .
