“A little bit of heaven!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

This review is long over due as we went for a few days in August 2010! Callie and Randi (innkeepers) could not have been more welcoming and gracious. This inn is in a perfect location - walk to town, rent a bike nearby, catch a bus on the corner and just take off:) Also, the inn is only a 10 min. taxi ride from the airport. Our room (suite) was absolutely perfect - and decorated beautifully. I couldn't have done it better my self! Only downside..we couldn't stay longer!

We will hopefully make this an annual trip. We HIGHLY recommend you try this inn.

“Our favorite Inn on Nantucket”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

people found this review helpful

My wife and I typically travel to Nantucket for two or three nights each summer and have stayed at several different Inns and B&Bs. We recently stayed at the Nantucket Whaler for two nights and have finally found "the one" that will be our first choice for all future visits.The comfort, cleanliness and convenince of this Inn cannot be beat.

We got caught in the rain both getting on and off the ferry, so on the one hand we were obviously looking forward to checking in, cleaning up, and changing into dry clothes. But on the other hand, we were not looking forward to the prospect of being confined to a small bedroom (as is the case with most B&Bs on the island) until the rain stopped. Boy were we peasantly surprised! After the very short walk from the Steamship wharf, we were given a warm welcome by Randi, swiftly checked in, and were ushered to our room through the "emergency exit" so we did not have to go back out into the rain.

Our "room" turned out to be a very spacious "suite" (#8), complete with a large and comfortable living room and a nice wetbar & kitchenette area including a sink, fridge, microwave, and toaster oven. There were two small but functional bedrooms, one w/queen bed and one w/two twin beds (this was locked as not needed). The private bathroom was a suite in itself which included a huge walk in shower with multiple heads and jets and well as an oversized jacuzzi tub. We loved everything about the suite. Including the comfortable furniture and bed, to convenience of the kitchen/wetbar area, the overall decor, and the "spa like" oversized bathroom. The linens and towels were of high quality, very fresh and scented.

Each room had a set of patio furniture outside on the deck or veranda, along with addtional tables and chairs on the lawn overlooking the beautiful private garden area in back of the Inn. While it's only a two or three minute walk to shops and restaurants, the unique design of the Inn and the layout of the property creates a peaceful and tranquil setting to enoy morning coffee or a late afternoon cocktail while reading or just relaxing doing nothing.

We have come to love Nantucket for, among other things, it's beauty, peacefulness, architecture, and fine dining. The Nantucket Whaler is an achitecturally beautiful, peaceful and perfect retreat close to everything. While we did not have much interaction with Randi or Calli after checking in, we have no doubt they would have been helpful and responsive if we had questions. We loved everything about the Inn, enjoyed our stay immensely, and will most definitely return.

“Best place to stay in Nantucket - by far!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

people found this review helpful

Nantucket Whaler Guest house is the only place to stay on the Island. It's located near everything you'd want to see, close to transporation, the beaches, town, ferries, etc. The rooms are BEAUTIFUL and comfortable, the owners really care about your comfort and have thought of all of the little things and comforts of home (reading glasses, a library of books and DVDs, umbrellas, beach towels). Beds are SO comfortable! The inn is very plush and charming. I've been there several times now, each time it's as pleasant as the last. suite 10 is super comfortable.

“Perfect Location, Large Suites and Up to Date”

My wife and I stayed at the Nantucket Whaler Guest House last weekend and had wonderful experience. We stayed in Suite 4 which was very clean, comfortable, and the beautifully decorated. It really was a home away from home. The location is absolutely perfect, close to everything that Nantucket has to offer. We had considered other Inns in Nantucket before we settled on the Whaler, but once we arrived we were extremely happy with our choice. Next time we come back to the island we will certainly stay here again.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Nantucket Whaler on Nantucket Island and I can't say enough about the customer service, friendliness of the staff and the very nice room. Randy was fabulous and made our stay very easy. We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend this facility to all.
