One of the few places we could find in Nantucket that allows children (very strange for a vacation spot...), the White House will be our Inn of choice on future visits. The rooms are very comfortable with fresh linens and fluffy towels. We loved the in town location, perfect to walk to local sites. Breakfast vouchers great!

Thanks!

My friend and I were having a very hard time finding an inn that would let us come with her 3-year old. We finally stumbled upon the White House Inn, and we felt after our visit that there could not have been a more perfect place for us on the island. The inn is charming, just above a cute antiques shop. It's central, and it's on one of the prettiest blocks in town. We highly recommend it and definitely would go back!

My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at the White House. Being on a budget, I stumbled onto our accomodations (rm #3) by trying to find the most inexpensive room that met our minimum requirements: located near the center of town, queen size bed, air conditioning, & private bath. I must say it exceeded our expectations! You can't beat the location - its in the heart of town (<4min walk to steamship authority,<2min walk to Jetties/Madaket shuttles). You might have some problems if you need handholding. There isn't a person on-site dedicated strictly to the B&B. However, the couple that run the antique store downstairs who handle check-in/check-out are both super nice. (They kept some ice for us in their personal freezer). They are around to help when the store is open (10AM - ?). The daily cleaning was superb. I never met her, but my wife said the cleaning lady was extremely nice. This room is a tight fit. The bed takes up 90% of the floor space, but it didn't bother us. There was a wall unit that could store our suitcases off the floor. The bathroom was also a bit cramped, but again not a big deal. (I believe the more expensive rooms are bigger & may have more amenities). The bedding, bath towels, & beach towels were all of superior quality and better than expected. Our room was extremely quiet at night. We didn't hear a peep outside (w/ the window closed) or from an ajoining room. We received a pair of $8 breakfast vouchers for each of our three mornings that were accepted at three different cafes. We tried all three - all were excellent (Even Keel has a great outdoor patio, Arno's was the sharpest looking). The only minor irritations we had (what good is a review if you can't offer up something that can be improved on?): (1) terrible toilet paper - the room looks elegant and you can tell good money went into it, don't ruin that by saving .50c per roll on toilet paper. (2) The flat screen HD TV is a perfect size and in a perfect location for that room. While the HD channels came in crystal clear it was annoying that all the non HD channels came in fuzzy to varying degrees. All in all, we were very pleased with our accomaditions and would stay here again. We highly recommend the White House!

We just returned from six nights at the White House (mom and two teenagers). Our one bedroom apartment at The White House fit our needs perfectly. The price was reasonable given that it is peak summer on Nantucket, the location was ideal for the freedom it gave the kids to come and go as they please, and while a little smaller than expected, the rooms were clean and well maintained. We had a few housekeeping issues upon our evening arrival which were taken care of first thing the next morning. The bed and bath linens were very good quality and the housekeeper who arrived each day, was very friendly and flexible regarding our needs and it was nice to have the daily clean. I would recommend a new refrigerator and coffee maker in the near future but otherwise the kitchen fit our needs perfectly. There is a nice garden patio downstairs where we stored our bicycles and we were glad we left the car behind as there is no parking anywhere.
