Visited Nantucket Island over Labor Day weekend with two sisters. Stayed at Wauwinet for one night. Beautiful property, wonderful food, extraordinary service and delightful ambience. Will definitely plan a return trip. More

We stayed at this inn for four nights at the beginning of September. We were just looking for a very quiet, off season, charming place to spend at long weekend for my husband's birthday. This place seemed idea based on the website.. We booked a room that cost about $1000. Per night. We cannot begin to express our disappointment in... More

I have had the chance to view your feedback on your recent stay at the Wauwinet. I apologize for not delivering a positive experience and to hear that you did not enjoy your visit to Nantucket or The Wauwinet in particular is not acceptable by any standard. By the sound of your replies, it seems that we missed the mark... More

The Wauwinet offers a truly relaxing vacation. The staff is attentive but unobtrusive. Many things have been thought of to make your time on Nantucket hassle-free including, raincoats and umbrellas for those wet days. Cheese and port/sherry in the afternoon in the Library were wonderful each day. Sinking into the thick cushioned chaise on the lawn with only the sounds... More

The Wauwinet is private, romantic, and relaxing. My wife and I just spent the first four days of our honeymoon there. We went in with high expectations and we left very happy, very impressed. The staff was warm and responsive. Eric, the GM is a nice guy and runs a tight ship. There was a bottle of champagne waiting for... More

We loved every moment of our stay at the Wauwinet. The service was unmatched in our experience, we felt pampered from the moment we walked in the door. Our cottage was lovely, the grounds and beaches regularly took our breaths away. Do not hesitate to book your vacation here, you will not be disappointed. More

Stayed at about 20 to 25 of them over the past 25 years. This one ranks last on the list. The rooms are well, no way to put it nicely. They are terrible. The cottages have pergo flooring and smell horrible, the main house is a shoe box nothing Relais & Chateau in either setting. The owners other property that... More

The Wauwinet is the most amazing place we have ever stayed. The views are by far the most priceless on Nantucket (as we have been traveling to Nantucket for the last 27 years). The staff is outstanding and the food even better. Toppers was a wonderful restaurant and the drinks were incredible. if you ever have the chance to visit... More

Gorgeous hotel! The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable! The same staff have been working there for years and many of the guests are repeat customers that the staff know by name. The rooms were lovely with comfy duvets, robes that are like pillows - we even had a complementary plate of home... More

Jordana and staff were nothing less than exceptional during our special wedding weekend. She thought of everything, from a private ceremony on the Yoga Deck, to a private tour of the island in a vintage 1948 Chevy Woody, to a special dinner on the Library Deck. She even brought her own camera to take pictures of our ceremony and more.... More

One of the most beautiful places in the world with the absolute best service. After much traveling throughout the world and residing in some fantastic resorts, I found The Wauwinet to touch a special place in my heart. Beyond the beauty of the resort, the service was above and beyond. They go so far out of their way to cater... More
