We stayed in the main suite for our 1st anniversary. The large suite was very comfortable and relaxing . The inn has character yet it has been modernized. Lynn was very pleasant and accommodating! The inn is within walking distance of the ferry. We enjoyed a relaxing time and would definitely return!

My wife & I celebrated our anniversary and her 50th B-day there. It was a memorable stay. This Inn is perfect, with all the details you hope for - right down to the "Coastal Living" decor. Our hat is off to the Innkeeper, Lyn. She manages it all with an ease and charm not seen so much anymore. And she's... More

In April, 2013, my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary on Nantucket, where we had honeymooned. We spent 5 nights at the Centerboard Inn and recommend it highly. The Inn was lovely. The bed and linens were amazingly comfortable. Everything about our experience was enhanced by the exceptional hospitality of Innkeeper Lyn Francis. Every day Lyn was full of... More

My husband and I went to the Centerboard Inn for a pre-season long weekend, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The rooms are beautiful, the food delicious, and Lyn is just a superb innkeeper, so welcoming and friendly. We stayed in the Master Suite, and enjoyed it so much, we ended up extending our trip by a day and... More

This inn completely lived up to our expectations. As well as being immaculate and efficient, the Centerboard has a real warmth and charm. Some of that comes from the light, bright and airy design that is perfect for the New England location, but mostly from the professionalism and friendliness of the innkeeper, Lyn. We are from London, we'd never been... More

We met with family for a long weekend in Nantucket and couldn't have been more pleased with this gem of an inn! The inn, which is a very short walk to town, is beautifully decorated (or should I say, re-decorated). Lyn was so very warm, welcoming and helpful with her local slant on the must-see sights. At the end of... More

Formerly a whaling captain's family manse, the 1886 Victorian structure, now a popular Nantucket MA bed and breakfast, was completely remodeled by new owners Paul and Lauri Benk in 2012. The interior has been painted and detailed; the floors refinished; furnishings, fixtures, carpeting and rugs have been replaced; and perhaps most importantly, all beds have been replaced and fitted to be luscious and inviting; featuring fine linens from Frette, Matouk and Serena & Lily. Sumptuous down duvets top all beds at this Nantucket luxury inn, along with fluffy fresh down pillows (of course down-alternatives are available if you have allergies).

Wireless Internet access is available throughout the Inn and iPads are now available for guests to use during their stay ... more   less
