From the second we stepped off the ferry we were taken care of by the Cottages & Lofts staff. Picked up in a van, taken to check in and directed to our cottage (Catawba) located on Straight Wharf right behind the Gazebo it was the perfect location for us 20-somethings. Walkable from the best bars and restaurants on the island... More

We spent a week in Kittiwake cottage with our two adult children, and we all had a wonderful time. The cottage is at the end of the wharf and has a great view of the harbour. It's an easy walk to shops and restaurants, and there are bicycles available. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The two bedrooms are... More

The location is absolutely perfect - though I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a relaxed/quiet getaway. You're in the middle of all of the fun - but that also means hearing it (they do thoughtfully provide ear plugs!). The Crows Nest is beautifully decorated and central to it all - that said the three flight climb up can... More

Thank you for your review of the Cottages! I am so happy that you enjoyed Crows Nest- it is a personal favorite of mine! Once you master the stairs on up you are certainly in for a treat, as it is one of the best views on the island. I hope to see you again on the Crows Nest porch... More

Thank you so very much for your review of the Cottages. We are so happy that you chose to spend your 10th anniversary with us! It is such a beautiful spot to relax out on the cottage porch and take in the beautiful Nantucket scenery.

We generally stay at The White Elephant also a lovely hotel with a harbor view but we wanted to bring our maltipoo Bella and The Cottages welcomes pets with open arms and a doggy goody bag as well. We were shown to our cottage which was too tiny for the two of us and called the lovely Bridget to inquire... More

We came to stay just after the memorial day holiday and were greeted by Karen who helped us at the reservations desk. She was VERY helpful from start to finish!

Perfect location within easy walking distance to excellent restaurants and shops. It was fun to be so close to stroll “up” Main Street and enjoy all the beautiful window boxes and flowering plants. Orion cottage was very roomy – large living room, fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2 porches overlooking the water. Brihgid is a fantastic “innkeeper”... More

With our Cocker Spaniel, Pearl, we had stayed at the Woof Cottages on Thursday, July 2, 2009 and absolutely loved it! The Cottages are located on Swain's Wharf, away from the hubbub of in-season Nantucket, but still within easy walking distance of town. The boat basin was moderately full with the mega yachts of the ultra rich, but it seemed... More

We really liked this hotel! You are located on the wharf where the Hi-Line ferry arrives which is also very close to the center of town. The best part was the killer views from almost a full 360 degrees from our deck. The one-bedroom cottages are the best deal and all rooms come with a full kitchen so you can... More

Our cottage was on the upper floor overlooking the harbor. It was cute, quaint and met our needs in terms of comfort and convenience (there is a kitchenette). Two window air conditioners cooled the unit, but they were noisy. The bathroom was quite small. For the price of these units, we may look at another property next time we visit... More
