Central Historic Location
Located on North Water Street in Nantucket's Historic District, the inn is a 5-minute walk from ferry terminals, the Whaling Museum, and over 50 restaurants including Via Mare at Greydon House and The Proprietors. Jetties Beach is accessible via the Wave shuttle, which picks up at the Whaling Museum. Nantucket Memorial Airport is 10 km away.

The inn provides pack and plays for infants at no charge and accommodates additional guests for $35 per night (ages 13+) or $15 (ages 5-12).

“In my opinion, the fully updated historic building offers a charming stay with modern comforts. I think its location, near the ferry and downtown, really adds value. Pet owners will appreciate the gated dog run, and I also noted that the staff provides personalized local recommendations to round out the experience.”
