Perfect Stay at Lovely B&B - Union Street Inn!
Reviewed By liza2392If you are looking for an adorable, charming place to stay in the heart of Nantucket – Union Street Inn is IT! My husband and I went back and forth trying to decide whether or not we wanted to stay in a home rental or if we should do a hotel/inn for the 4 days we had planned on the island, and we are so grateful we decided on the latter! Union Street Inn is in a perfect location -- just a few minutes’ walk from the ferry, right in town, but tucked away enough so you’re not right on Main Street. Our bedroom was extremely comfortable, and the inn’s outdoor patio space was a real treasure! It was hard to leave the inn each day because of the friendly staff, beautiful environment, and comfort of it all. On top of all of this, the inn provides amazing service to their customers. They provide a breakfast menu every morning where the staff will prepare you your meal of choice from the menu. They also have afternoon treats available, which was always so nice to come back to after spending a day out exploring the island/beaches. Additionally, they have a bike rack to lock up your bikes, they provide beach chairs, beach towels, coolers for food, umbrellas if it rains, and I’m sure much more! We are already counting down the days until we can plan our next Nantucket trip so we can stay at Union Street Inn again.

The Martin House Inn blends the convenience and comforts of today with the romance and nostalgia of the past.

Mother Daughter Getaway
Reviewed By emilycZ3581GBI look my mom to Nantucket for a belated Mother's Day trip and we loved both the island and our stay at the Martin House. The location is perfect - close enough to town to easily navigate your suitcases from the ferry and a street or two away from the action for tranquility. There's even covered parking for your bikes under the house. An advantage of the Martin House versus what I noticed from other nearby B&Bs when I went to book is that the Martin House has some rooms with twin beds. My mother and I sure appreciated each having our own bed without having to book two rooms. Cindy was wonderful in giving us pointers for the best lobster rolls (Walters!) and quite the baker. Her cinnamon scones one more for breakfast were so delicious that I may have smuggled one onto the evening ferry back to the mainland.

Incredible!
Reviewed By Discover770483This was our second stay here. Beautiful and well kept property. Plenty of mixers for happy hour. Cookies are nice and moist. Breakfast is just enough if you are heading out for a larger lunch. The backyard is a bonus for cocktails before dinner. Very walkable to everything. Richard and his team are very kind and helpful.

Perfect location at a lovely hotel!
Reviewed By Kimmied76We loved our stay! We were in room 107 which, for us, was a perfect room. Relatively private but 4 cheery windows and convenient for enjoying the side deck as well as running in and out for jackets or quick changes and bag drop offs etc. The location couldn’t have been better. In town convenience and an easy walk to steps beach, Galley (wonderful for drinks under the tent enjoying the water view!) and Jetties. The hospitality at the hotel was fabulous. Coffee in room and at stations in the hallways, available at all times. A charming and delicious breakfast snack set up in the morning and a BYOB cocktail set up in the evening - with clever as well as traditional mixers, ice etc. - everything but the alcohol needed to make a cocktail to enjoy on the front porch or by the fire on the deck. Thank you to all the staff for a beautiful stay!

Seven Sea Street is a beautiful red oak post and beam Inn, designed with an authentic Nantucket ambiance in mind. We invite you to experience our charming Inn, where we pride ourselves on the attentive service and cozy accommodations that will make your stay with us a fond memory.

Historic rooms all about location
Reviewed By Kelly HYou are paying for location with this place. Smack dab in the middle of it all. Walk to everywhere. You are literally on a dock. When you step out of room you are staring at beautiful boats docked at the basin. I'm assuming these places are historic and have been around a while. Floors slanting. Just feels like 1800's kinda place. I would guess its ranked as 3 star hotel. Everything just SMALL and tight. We had a 2 bedroom and I think paid like $1500 a night. Interior decor felt pretty basic. Bathroom is TINY. If we were larger people we couldn't fit in it. But again, these are old places and thats how they were built back then so come with proper expectations. Giving it 4 star due to location which cannot be beat!!!!!

Perfect weekend
Reviewed By 711kaitgHotel Pippa was the perfect stay; such beautifully decorated, boutique hotel that offered everything you could ask for. The location is ideal and walkable- close to the ferry, shops and restaurants. The rooms are a bit small but comfortable and updated. The staff was AMAZING. From check in, to breakfast and Alexandro’s spicy margaritas (which are a must) - the team made our weekend so special and took care of us every step of the way. We will definitely be back!
