The property is beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of Nantucket and other cities. The staff was very accommodating and the shuttles ran every hour into town till 11:00 pm for when you wanted to go in. I definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Nantucket. Topper’s was an exceptional dining experience. I felt like I was an extra in The Bear series.

This out of the way place is a gorgeous little inn away from it all with impeccable attention to service and detail. The amenities were a great addition including many excursions and our staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. I want to give a personal shout out to Tia who was so very sweet!

Excellent stay with a ton of amenities and great staff! This was a romantic spot with a private bay and beach access, a convenient shuttle to town that runs every hour to access shops and restaurants, and an option to take the hotel BMW for a few hours to explore the island on our own, not to mention complimentary bikes and afternoon boat rides. Staff supported every request (big and small) and the food was amazing, with views even more so! Overall, so glad we stayed out of the main town area and selected the Wauwinet! I highly recommend it and hope to come back again soon!

We had such a wonderful time staying here! The staff is so wonderful and knows everyone by name. It was such a special experience staying here and I wish we can come back during the season. If you come off season just expect that they will not have all of their amenities available to you. But it was so peaceful to visit in April.

The Wauwinet property is 10 star. The top notch service started at the front desk, the staff was helpful with where to go and all the activities on site. The in room service was amazing too, making sure we had clean towels throughout the day. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. My favorite is sitting on the lawn and enjoying the breeze. I love this property and would recommend the Wauwinet to my family and friends.
