Returned a few weeks ago from a long weekend in Nantucket. It was our first visit to Nantucket and we were so pleased that we stayed at The Summer House Inn at 27 Fair Street. The Concierge, Evette went beyond the call of duty in helping us learn the lay of the land. She helped with maps, info. on bike... More

We go to dinner here in the main building (Sconset)every year. Again this year it was great. Love the guy on piano. We actually went twice this year and ate just light bar fare at the bar the second time....both great. But we also went to dinner down at the beach......ugh.......stay away. Absurd prices. Terrible food. Undercooked hamburger, warm oysters... More

We are just back from a week's stay at the Summer House Fair Street. We booked last minute, so didn't have a lot of selection of hotels or rooms, but really enjoyed the inn. It's a great location within walking distance from town, but a few blocks away from the crowds. The rooms are simple and the bathroom in our... More

Stay on Fair St. for quiet location close to town, and use of 'Sconset pool and beach. Hop the jitney and arrive to private beach, chairs, and umbrellas. Room clean and inn quaint. Skip the Summer House for dinner- order a burger and cocktail at beach bar instead. If you want a full service luxury inn- look elsewhere- basic amenities.... More

Loved the location, the pool, the beach, bike trails, and the overall property. It was a fantastic place to stay. we had a great time. Cotteges were small but clean. Service was OK but not fantastic. Nantucket is amazing, a great place for the family but pricey.

Summer house is in a great spot. Beach and pool right Outside your door. A bit pricey however! Stay at the cottages at the boat basin. Rent a car from Tim at affordable rental in Nantucket and you are more than all set. 12.00 dollars for a water is just an example . Dinner fir 2 will run you over... More

We stayed at 27 Fair Street in Nantucket and was greeted and received wonderful service by Evette. She was very welcoming and took time with each guest to make sure to answer any questions or guide you to make your trip memorable. It is very close to town and we truly enjoyed the walking to the historic districts. On the... More

For years, my family and I have been enjoying the Summer House. We have stayed at the cottages in 'Sconset as well as enjoyed the restaurant out there. We have been summering in Nantucket for nearly 20 years and it is our favorite spot on the island, which says a lot considering the wonderful options. The food is always delicious... More

My wife and I spent July 4th week on Nantucket at the The Summer House. We stayed at The Fair Street B & B in a charming cottage. It was an easy walk to town for all restaurants, shopping and people watching. We used the shuttle they provided to take us to their beach in Sconset.(about 8 miles) We used... More

The Summer House is a sylvan respite in a sea of touristy overcrowded cobblestone streets. Tucked away in 'Sconset on the eastern end of the island, the charming cottages, welcoming bar scene, cool. relaxing pool and stellar location on the beach make this a true getaway -- particularly from the hordes of day trippers in Nantucket Town. Frequent van service... More
