We had a great time at the Wauwinet! The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. The location was amazing. We enjoyed lounging in the chairs outside, enjoying the views and walking around the grounds. We took advantage of the shuttle into town and enjoyed some great meals at Toppers. Above all, the staff at the hotel make the experience. Everyone went above and beyond and made our stay wonderful. We did not want to leave! Highly recommend to anyone to get out of the downtown and experience a quieter side of the island.

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!

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.
