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.

The location is on a very quiet little side street that feels isolated even in the midst of the summer chaos. The great part is that the Carriage House is still only a short walk to the center of Nantucket. The rooms aren't large but extremely nice and furnished in period style. They serve a pleasant breakfast in the morning and we had some of the best blueberry muffins ever. Perhaps the nicest part of our stay was getting to met the proprietors Haziel and his wife Tomomi. They were incredibly gracious and friendly and not only willing to take the time to give us directions to anything we wanted but also seemed to enjoy discussing environmental issues on the island or aspects of Nantucket history, politics, or just about anything else. This is an absolutely gorgeous place to stay but it was the hospitality of Haziel and Tomomi that made it very special.

I've had two wonderful stays at the Carriage House, the most recent over Labor Day 2018. Haziel…read moreand Tomomi are very warm and friendly, and more than willing to help you with any questions you have about the island - restaurants, sightseeing, transportation, and more. The location couldn't be better - a block from the head of Main Street, near Murray's, yet off on a secluded and quiet side street. The bedroom was comfortable and cozy - bonus that the view from my window was of the gold dome of the Unitarian Church. As others have said, this is a great value when compared to other B&B's in the area, which are much more expensive. At Carriage, I stayed in a queen room with a private bath for approximately $50-$75 less than what a single bed with shared bath would have cost me elsewhere. One very small additional convenience that would be nice would be air conditioning, as it can get pretty hot and humid at times on the island. The lack of A/C is actually common on the island however, and I slept comfortably with the ceiling fan.

Can't say enough good things about Harborview. Great location, right in town. They pick you up at the airport; stock your fridge with Cisco Brewery beer and wine; super new modern furniture with professional Bosch appliances. They have a small beach with adirondack chairs on the harbor and it is lovely to sit there and have some wine.

We were bummed but I was excited to bring my new husband to one of my favorite places, having grown up going to the Cape. My first time at the Lifehouse and wasn't sure what to expect.

Made us feel right at home, from the warm welcome, to the complementary refreshments and breakfast, to the amazing happy hour and nighttime s'mores around the fire. I could go on and on- overall if you're looking for somewhere to get away and feel completely relaxed and at home, this B&B is for you! Thank you for making our time there so special!

A room with a balcony overlooking the harbor. Lovely. New. Still smells new. Everything is new, clean, and orderly. Great staff, friendly and accommodating.

We arrived late at night, and my first impression upon walking in and seeing an envelope with our name on it made us feel at home. And when we opened the door to our room, it smelt so lovely! I'm not sure what it was, but it smelt like lavender or a natural herb and was truly relaxing. In the morning there was fruit, muffins, yogurt and some sweet treats. Overall the place was quaint and just adorable. From the inside to the outside. They even had a beach bag in the rooms complete with towels. So thoughtful! Highly recommend.

The Captain Morse House is situated in the ideal location. After a great night's sleep in one of the numerous cozy and quiet bedrooms, wake up and walk to the beach, or to Behind the Bookstore for a perfect cup of coffee. The house has so many convenient amenities, including bicycles and beach gear to use for your day's adventure. If you are looking to just chill in the beautifully landscaped yard and read, or enjoy a nice meal on the BBQ, this property is great for that too. The owner, Platt, and caretaker, Timothy, were both wonderful. The whole rental process is very well organized, not a detail is left out in house manual, and communication with a Platt and Tim is easy and prompt. My family and I had a lovely time staying in the West Wing and would definitely rent again and recommend to others. Maybe we'll try the East Wing next time in order to enjoy those great porches!

There were great paths for our annual night walk (yes, we walk in winter ) we were in walking distance to some amazing coffee shops and diners, and the kids had a ball during our dance party with all the cousins, aunts, and uncles! Above all I have to say, the management was the best part! You can stay at a place that has everything you need and more, but if the people running it aren't accommodating or lack communication, you'd never want to go there again! This team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and we were comfortable! They responded to a late night request as well which was very impressive! Safe to say.... We will be back next February! Thank you so much!!! The Crafts Family
