We also had access to the Breeze restaurant close by and easy walking access to the beaches near the harbor. The Carlise is immaculately clean and well decorated. It had a very comfortable living area and dining area as well as a gas firepit and plenty of seating outside. There were also places to safely store our bikes. Rooms are spacious, very pretty, and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The in-room wine refrigerator got plenty of use. The owner of the inn was very knowledgable and helpful, and also an accomplished woman and great conversationalist. We would definitely return to the Carlise.

Avoid this place. Our bride was booked here for her honeymoon and instead spent it in the ICU…read morepotentially requiring emergency surgery the morning after her wedding. We called to explain, and the Inn was completely unsympathetic. They refused a refund. Refused a credit. Refused to move the dates. What we got instead was blatant rudeness and zero acknowledgment that a human being was in a hospital bed. Carlisle House Inn saw a medical emergency and took it as an opportunity to keep the money. That is a choice they made, and it tells you exactly who they are. Nantucket is a small island that runs on reputation. Word travels, and businesses here survive on being the kind of place people recommend. Carlisle House Inn is not one of them. There's no shortage of beautiful places to stay run by people with a conscience. Book one of those.

We loved our 2 bedroom w/ jack & jill bathroom & found the twin & 2 king sized beds so incredibly comfortable for our group of 5 girlfriends (I personally loved the soft & cozy bedding)! We also enjoyed that it is just a 2 min walk from main street & right next to Ships Inn, which was our favorite dinner of the trip! We also loved coming back to fresh baked cookies that were the perfect chewy & crunchy texture as well as waking up to a delicious breakfast! We can't forget NayNay who is the sweetest doggo! We are so happy Suzie got a nice picture of us with her in front of the beautiful property before we left! Definitely recommend The Barnacle Inn to anyone wanting a more homey & personal experience!

LOL the attic and trust me, it still was fantastic. her daughter MA? very kind, good human, she helped me in more ways i can say and i wont. we traveled with V and her daughter and she was amazing, very nice, kind woman. i only regret Ven refused me her recipe for that New York CheeseCake. that stuff was worth the calories. i would forego all other sweets but that cheesecake was phenomenal, i offered her 500 $cash nope she said she perfected the recipe and nope.

The Hungry Whale is a small b&b about a half mile from the downtown wharf area…read more Pros: Price! - this has to be the cheapest game in town -- the rooms are $100-125 a night for double occupancy. Seriously. Innkeeper - Mary Ellen is sweet, accommodating and makes a mean banana nut muffin. She also washed and cut up some fruit we bought at the market so we could have it with breakfast. Location - a short walk to restaurants, shops and the harbor. Amenities - the outdoor shower proved handy for our group after long, sweaty runs around the island. Breakfast included fresh fruit salad, OJ, coffee/tea, home baked muffins and more. Cons: Size - there are 3 guest rooms so there's not a lot of choice; however, if you booked with two other couples it's like your own private floor. Rooms - I'm a bed snob and I had a tough time sleeping on the first night. The pillows were rock hard. We did, however, have a DVD player and TV in the room so we popped in a flick to distract us from the distinctly-not-tempurpedic bed. Quirkiness - The innkeepers son seems to live on the floor above the guest rooms and would walk up and down the hall at odd hours. This would be fine except that two rooms share a bathroom and I seemed to keep getting caught in the hallway in a towel. It's also an old house in a humid climate, and as such has a bit of that old house smell which was at war with a small army of plug in air fresheners. Personally, I'd rather smell a bit of old house than 5 aggressively competing florals. For the money you could do much worse -- the hospitality was great and I'll be bringing my own pillow next time.

We have been coming to Nantucket with our boat for over a dozen years. Goerge, the Dockmaster,…read moreruns a great marina operation. The staff is extremely helpful and polite. You generally have to make reservations for slips way in advance due to it's popularity amount us boaters. Located on the eastern part of town, almost everything is within walking distance. Plenty of cabs are available to get you to the beaches or you can grab one of the Wave Buses. You should try to make this as one of the destinations you should visit at least once in your life if not year after year, This place also has some very nice but small cottages located on the docks for rent. They book up early so if you are interested call months ahead.

I honestly don't know what's taken me so long to write a review? I really like staying at Millpond because I get the authentic Nantucket island experience. The décor at Millpond is charming, a contemporary nautical theme, and the actual set up in the apartment is super cozy. There's a master bedroom and the guest bedroom can accommodate up to three, great for a friends getaway or a family trip. I have a full kitchen, fridge and television in my apartment so it really feels like home for the week! It also doesn't hurt that it's one of the most economical options in terms of vacation rentals on the island. Millpond is also conveniently located, just 1 mile from the beach and a five-minute stroll to downtown. Pretty much everything is within walking distance, but if you don't feel like exploring on foot they also have bikes that you can borrow for free on a first come first serve basis! The Saad family owns the complex, and they are extremely warm and gracious! Any time I need anything they are quick to accommodate and happy to do so. They are also true natives so don't hesitate to pick their brains for local insight. They know the best restaurants, which beaches are too crowded, best grocery stores etc. I also adore the fact that each time I stay at Millpond there's a complimentary bottle of champagne and Nantucket chocolate covered cranberries waiting for me in my apartment...so amazing! If you mention this when you are booking they will be sure to offer you the same VIP treatment. So if you're planning a vacation to the Grey Lady in the near future Millpond Inn is definitely the way to go hands down, both value and comfort wise. It's a hidden gem!

We booked at a great rate, a sort of re-opening special, so I acknowledge I did get a deal. They are priced up quite a bit. We also got an offer to upgrade the room, and did. A room with a balcony overlooking the harbor. Lovely. New. Still smells new. Everything is new, clean, and orderly. Great staff, friendly and accommodating. Nice Euro Continental Breakfast in the morning. Comfortable beds, nice larger bathrooms - not the normal Nantucket hotel closet style. We absolutely will stay here again. No negatives whatsoever.

We wanted to find a "reasonably" priced B&B near the ferry docks and the Anchor Inn looked like a good option. The innkeeper, Ann met me when I arrived and even though it was quite late she was warm and friendly and very welcoming. The room was small, but in a cozy way. Bed was comfortable. And, the furnishings were appropriate for the inn and room. The bathroom was tiny and the shower was very small! It was hard to shower without ending up wrapped up in the curtain or with a large puddle on the floor. If you are a large person you might ask if there are rooms with larger showers! Note - this is not a complaint... Just sharing the experience. Breakfast was muffins, fruit, juice, and coffee. For the price, this was a nice little place to spend the weekend. Cozy, convenient, welcoming.
