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 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.

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.

Excellent weekend getaway! Loved the staff and the coziness of the library, sitting room with the fireplace and the porch. Excellent view of the water from the hotel. Captain Rob was available for the first tour of the 2023 season and it was so amazing. Will be back!

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!

The Wauwinet is magical. Nothing else remotely compares. Beautiful property with easy strolls along the beach on both the ocean and the harbor sides. Wonderful restaurant as well. Stay here if you can - and can afford it!
