A fun place to stay right on the boat basin. Convenient to town, shopping, dining and the Wave (bus). Parking was a bit of a problem but in the nature of the location. There is designated parking off site (about a 10-15 minute walk). Staff were very friendly and helpful - overall an excellent experience!

We stayed at the end of the rope cottage and it was absolute perfection - all of the staff was incredibly helpful and went out of there was to make our stay feel special - I would absolutely recommend for a relaxing stay on Nantucket. Also want to note that it was very kid friendly as we had brought our 6 and 9 year old children.
