I stayed here for the first weekend of the season, and it was fantastic! It was extremely quiet, and the staff were so warm and friendly. There is a beautiful beach across the street, and Nantucket Town can easily be reached by bicycle. The hostel has a huge communal kitchen, internet, comfortable beds and is in a perfect location.

This hostel was a fantastic deal for being on Nantucket. Unfortunately, I was only able to go for one night. The hostel books up pretty quick for most of the summer. So I recommend making reservations early, especially if you have a large group. It is located about 3 mi from the ferry. It is a very easy bike ride... More

I stayed 3 nights at this hostel, it is a converted historic lifesaving station 3.5 miles from downtown Nantucket at Surfside beach. We only used bikes for transportation, and getting there from the ferry on the bike path was not a problem. Our group of 16 cooked our own meals daily, but the hostel staff does provide a very basic... More

I have stayed at the hostel several times with the Girl Scouts and it is truly a hidden gem. There are 2 buildings: one larger main building with dorm style beds and another smaller one with fewer beds and also accomodation for a family. The main building has a large kitchen , large dining room/common area and smaller room for... More
