A wonderful B&B close to the center of beautiful Nantucket. And right next door to one of the best restaurants in Nantucket - American Seasons!

We recently stayed for 2 nights at the Centre Street Inn. Overall it is a fantastic inn. I don't think we ever stayed anywhere that old before. It is kept up very nicely and Mr Heap was very nice and allowed us to keep our rented scooter in back of the house. The only thing that is sparse and not as advertised is coffee and tea all day although we did not ask and if we did maybe it would have been given to us. The pictures on the website of homemade cake and goodies are misleading. Breakfast was 2 pieces of cinnamon bread and 2 slices of cantaloupe. I understand that apparently cooking isn't permitted in Nantucket but other inns advertise cooked breakfast. I would not let that detract from my review unless that was important. This is a wonderful place and kept well.

We stayed at the Centre Street Inn for 2 nights with our family. The Inn is beautifully decorated with many ammenities and is very peaceful and relaxing. The Innkeepers and staff are very nice. The Inn is within walking distance to down town and the Children's Beach as well as many restaurants. We are already planning our return trip!

Other reviewers have it right, and I wouldn't go back a second time. When I called to reserve a night in the early spring, the owner who answered the phone told me to just go back online and reserve a room. Online, after making my reservation, I asked if I could come early to drop off my bags because the ferry would be dropping me off way before the 3p.m. check in time. I got a "No" on that because their help wasn't there yet. I wish at this point I'd cancelled. I figured since it was so early in the season, it wouldn't be a problem to accommodate us, but it seems any request is a problem to these owners. Room was very small, shower set up strangely, so that you had to reach in way past the shower to turn it on - and got all wet and then had to stick my arm in the very hot water to adjust the temp. Mattress very hard, yet had a "trough" in the middle that we both had to fight to stay out of. When we asked about breakfast, we were encouraged to go out and get something somewhere else. As we couldn't sleep in late with that mattress, I sent my husband downstairs to get some coffee that was listed as part of the room price. No coffee, or anything else, until we went out to find some in town and then came back much later. We actually laughed about the owners' attitude, sort of an old fashioned Yankee "we don't need you here, you're very lucky we put up with you", which is okay if that's what you're looking for!
