We stayed at the Centerboard during Daffodil weekend and could not have been happier. The Innkeeper, Lyn Francis does a wonderful job of straddling that very thin line between being too attentive and being available just enough. Her recommendations and help were always appreciated and showed how well she knows her wonderful island. Lyn's breakfasts and afternoon tea's were delicious... More

We've just returned from a wonderful stay at the Centerboard. Its location is ideal; an easy walk downtown yet far enough out to be quiet. The Inn feels both very fresh and cozy, with comfortable rooms and delicious breakfasts and teas. We were delightfully pampered! Lyn, the innkeeper hanles everything with apparent ease, from scrumtious breakfasts, to special requests and... More

We've just returned from a fabulous weekend on Nantucket. It was our first visit to the island. Fortunately we booked into the Centerboard Inn. This B&B was tastely refurbished recently. The decorations are warm and cozy. The charm is evident everywhere, especially in many of the little details. For instance, our bed was amazingly comfortable. We slept so well every... More

What a lovely place to stay! I did extensive research on Nantucket inns before choosing Centerboard for my husband's 30th birthday getaway and it paid off. Our room was beautiful, the inn itself was wonderfully decorated an maintained, the breakfast and tea were both to be looked forward to, and our host (Lyn) was most excellent. We will be returning!!... More

Located a brief stroll from the hub of Town, Centerboard Inn is a total delight. The inn is lovely and bright, the rooms very clean and well-appointed. It is a short, easy walk from the ferry terminal, and a street or 2 away from the busier parts of town. Lyn, the innkeeper, is a delight: ever-ready with guidance, and really... More

There may be a nicer Inn on Nantucket but you will be hard pressed to find it. Clean, comfortable, good continental breakfast, charming hostess, lovely rooms, we really enjoyed it. The only thing we did not hear was the old ship captain's ghost saying something like "Ahoy there" at two in the morning. Maybe next time..... Great Place! More

The Centerboard Guest House was our home for two days on our first voyage to Nantucket, and what a treat it was. It's strange to see some of these pictures of the Centerboard, because the entire place has undergone extensive interior redecoration with absolutely gorgeous, fresh, simple décor. It looks and feels like how Nantucket should be: tastefully clean provisions... More

We finally made it to Nantucket after waiting for 2 storms and wind to allow the ferry to shuttle us out to the island. Being winter, availability was not a problem. We stayed in one of the ground floor rooms. I kept Lyn, the innkeeper, updated about our arrival plans and she was always spot on with places to go,... More

My wife and I just stayed at the Centerboard for a 3 day weekend and were so lucky to have found it! Winter in Nantucket is a wonderful experience that is wildly undiscovered. The Centerboard, thanks to owners who are investing in beautiful renovations and Lyn, the most accommodating Innkeeper I have met. Here is a quick list of what... More
