The Wauwinet was everything we expected and more. The location is perfect. The service is great.
We stayed for two nights to celebrate my birthday. The housekeepers decorated our room in celebration. The staff at the front desk sang me a "happy birthday" one morning. They really made us feel "at home" during our stay.
The property is spectacular. Right on the water with beach access. Although ~20 minutes from downtown, there is plenty to do (e.g., kayaks, tennis, various boat tours). Wauwinet is calm; perfect for couples.
We had a great experience at Toppers, the restaurant on site. It was not cheap, but it was definitely worth it.
We'd recommend Wauwinet to anyone that's looking to stay on Nantucket! THANK YOU to the Wauwinet team for everything!

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!

The Wauwinet is truly the best of Nantucket all around. With an amazing welcoming team we always feel right at home here. The facility is in an outstanding location where you can enjoy the beach or sound. The food and service at Toppers is just that, Tops!. We've been visting Nantucket for over 20 years and we always stay at the Wauwinet because it really is the best place to uplug, read a good book and chill.

The best part of Wauwinet for us was the kind, attentive staff, both at the front desk and running the shuttle into town. Our cottage was comfortable, beautifully decorated and tidy. A delivery of chocolate covered strawberries for our anniversary was delightful and we enjoyed the afternoon port and cheese gathering in the library. Since we were there in the offseason (October) and the weather was particularly blustery, we were unable to enjoy even walking the gorgeous beaches which on another day, would have been a highlight for us. Because the hotel is a 20 to 25 minute shuttle ride into town, I think, particularly in the offseason, we may have been happier closer to the action. My major complaint was the pre-concierge service (which is a terrific idea) highly recommended the in-house restaurant Topper's for our anniversary dinner. They apparently did not know that the usual menu had been discontinued and we were stuck choosing from a glorified lunch menu, a huge disappointment for me on our last night in Nantucket.

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.
