“Nice B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in a very pretty room with a large deck overlooking the Harbor. The room was cleaned every day and breakfast wasn't spectacular but wasn't bad either. It was a short walk from town so the location was great. It took us less than 5 minutes to walk from the ferry to the B&B. The absence of the innkeepers was a little odd though. When we first "checked in", a lady came out of the kitchen and just looked at us. I stated our names and she said, "folllow me, coffee is at 8AM and breakfast is at 9AM." Those were the only words we heard from the innkeeper our entire trip. We never saw any staff the rest of our stay. It was so unusual that it was actually comical. (A form was left in our room to complete with our credit card info on the last day.) If you like a B&B experience but also enjoy lots of privacy, this is the place. If you need lots of attention, this place is definitely not for you.

“Invisible innkeepers”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

When we arrived here the innkeeper was in the downstairs - she showed us to our room and we never saw anyone again until we left (a day early). However, we knew they were there (the inn serves as a family home) by the piano practice that took place for an hour each evening around 6PM. Since this is an old house, and, as other reviewers have pointed out the walls are thin this was a front row seat to an unwanted concert. Attempts to reach someone by ringing the bell in the downstairs were unanswered. The next day there was a bowl of grapes on the table for breakfast - from 8:30 until 9AM no food or people. We went out. The next day there was breakfast - however the fruit was just dumped into bowls, and two of the bread items had mold. Toilet in room was very cracked, room was small (which would have been ok if that was the only issue) and the innkeepers were absent. If this is all you can afford or find on Nantucket do yourself a favor and make it a day trip.

“Just ok”

Again, just ok. The beds were the hardest I have ever experienced. Innkeeper/staff were never around and when there, not friendly, always rushed. Decent breakfast though.

“Convenient but noisy location, ghost innkeepers”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

Safe Harbor is a convenient walk from the ferry and into town, and puts out a nice breakfast. However, it is located near a popular party spot and the noise is not conducive to sleep before midnight if your room faces the street, as ours did. Also, our room was not cleaned during our three day visit, towels were not exchanged, and there was no innkeeper in evidence with whom to discuss this. Perhaps they have other jobs that are more pressing - not a typical B & B experience.

Great location - close to town, Brant Point, Jetties beach. Cute rooms. Very clean. Nice morning spread for breakfast. Felt like I was at home, not at a strange hotel. Staff very kind and accommodating. Best deal going on ACK. Can't wait to go back there in a month!
