You will never understand what it is like to feel like to be royalty until you experience the Wauwinet. We went for a romantic long weekend and everything was perfect. The front desk was so professional. They knew we came after being referred by family and thanked us for the business and told us how much they loved our family!... More

The immaculate grounds, the attention to detail and the warm welcome from the staff to the incredible dining experience, waterfront views and beautifully decorated rooms, this is the Wauwinet. The Port and cheese late afternoon, the nap in the lawn chairs listening to the waves, the working of a jigsaw puzzle infront of the fireplace in the game room. The... More

Although pricey, it's exactly what you expect. Manicured grounds, amazing ocean views, impeccable service and all the little extras you'll love. Hike along the beach to the lighthouse or borrow a bike for a great ride into town. Free hourly shuttle into towns for dining and shopping too. A little shocked at some of the prices though. A picnic lunch... More

Absolutely charming, picturesque resort located on northeast end of Nantucket Island. It is nestled in an old New England seaside setting offering views of both the Nantucket Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff at The Wauwinet sits it apart from other resorts we have visited. The room decor remained me of what would have... More

The ultimate measure of a hotel’s (or inn’s) quality may perhaps be assessed by posing the question "would you be willing to recommend it?” Having just spent 3 days at this Inn (October 13 through October 16), I am able to say without hesitation: “for a relaxing, sophisticated, adult, retreat in an extraordinarily special location where the comfort and convenience...

Really enjoyed our anniversary overnight at the Wauwinet. The hotel was smaller than I had imagined which cave it a wonderfully cozy and boutique-like feel. Granted it was just after the season (day after Columbus Day) but the service was outstanding. We were met at the ferry by a van that took us out to the hotel which is at... More

We visited the Wauwinet several years ago in the spring and liked it so much, that we returned in early fall. It is still the beautiful place that it was in previous years, but is a little more tired and run down. We had difficulty getting from the Hyline Ferry to the hotel with the jitney. We had to call...

We just had a delightful evening at Topper’s at the Wauwinet in Nantucket. I highly recommend going to Topper’s in the fall. Take the early seating and start the evening by having a glass of champagne and strolling across the lawn toward the beach to photograph and watch the spectacular sunset. Upon entering the dining room we were greeted warmly... More

Remarkable inn & ambience in an exclusive, outrageously perfect paradise surrounded by private beaches, ocean views, rolling Great Gatsby lawns for sipping libations at sunset...or sunrise... and the scent of the extensive blooming gardens that surround you everywhere you go. Exquisite culinary delights from renowned master chefs...from gourmet, homemade breakfasts ocean view to personalized culinary dinner delights. We were there... More

The Wauwinet has exquisite restaurants, discreet and professional help, very nice clientele, quiet elegance, gorgeous private beach, and is just a real treat to spend time at in Nantucket. We were there for 5-6 days in late august, and the whole experience was very relaxing, and we will definately return annually at the very least. We had a waterview room... More
