About the Hotel
The Wauwinet, an Inn by the Sea, nestled on the shore of historic Nantucket Island, has struck a delightful balance between casual seaside inn and sophisticated European retreat. Nantucket's only Relais & Chateaux property, the inn is located a short drive from Nantucket Townâ€(TM)s cobblestone streets, where the fashionable boutiques and restaurants rival those of Aspen and the Hamptons. The Wauwinet is the only prospect that is nestled between Nantucket Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, the perfect place from which to explore the beauty of this New England paradise.

Reviews for The Wauwinet
Even better the second time around....
The Wauwinet is perfection in every way. If you are looking for relaxation mixed with top notch service, look no further. We booked our stay for this year when we checked out last year and I have been counting down the days. We both travel around the world extensively for work, so we look forward to checking in and being pampered for a few days. It all begins with the Hotel Manager Sean. He is so warm and welcoming and you can tell he takes great pride in this property. The Front Desk ladies are wonderful- always smiling and offering suggestions with an upbeat, but relaxed vibe. Special shout out to Taryn at the Front Desk for helping us find the perfect room. The bellmen and shuttle drivers are prompt, efficient and very kind. Even though the hotel is outside of Town, you do not need to rent a car. The jitney service combined with the house BMW SUV you can check out for half a day (do it when you arrive) is all you need. Service on the back lawn was great. Shanice was very friendly and gave me great tips about how to get into a restaurant I've always wanted to try next time. The culinary class with Chef Kyle was a delight. We didn't do any of the tours with Captain Rob, but he is wonderful and we look forward to joining a tour next time. Our Bay View room was perfect. Cozy with an amazing view. (Splurge for the view- it's worth it!) Thank you to everyone at the Wauwinet for making our return trip just as wonderful as the first. We can't wait to see you next year!

Perfection
My mother and I go to the Wauwinet every year. We always enjoy every minute of our stay there. From the minute we get picked up from the ferry everyone is super sweet. The food is exceptional. As someone with celiac disease eating out can be challenging and they are always so accommodating. Just made my reservation for this July and I am counting down the days.

Charming Top Notch Relais & Chateaux Inn!
We had looked forward to staying at The Wauwinet for some time, and finally did it! It met all of our high expectations! Great location right between the bay and ocean…easy access to both. Top notch restaurant in Topper’s with it’s gourmet menu, but also can dine on the deck or bar with the lighter Deck Menu…we did both and enjoyed both! Totally charming! The staff was friendly and helpful to a person, from the fellows who met us at the dock and ran the hourly shuttle to and from town, to reception, housekeeping, and great bar/sommelier/dining staff. Katarin at the bar was fabulous, and so nice to talk to, as was Dennis, whose knowledge of wine was expansive! The beach on the ocean is beautiful. The grounds were very well kept, loaded with daffodils and pansies all over at this time of the year. Our cottage room was beautiful, with gas fireplace, and very comfortable bed. It’s only 6 miles out of town, and they run a shuttle van back and forth every hour. We also dined at their sister property in town, the White Elephant at the Brant Point Grill, right on the water, which was also excellent. So in sum, a perfect two night getaway! Highly recommend!

Such a Beautiful Place
My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary on the island and stayed at the Wauwinet. First of all, the staff was amazing, so helpful and friendly they really made our stay that much more special. I can't say enough about how professional warm and accommodating the staff is. And a special thank you to Venosha for her exceptional care and assistance. We stayed in a cottage that was very nice and private, the hotel is very beautiful, with many interesting antique pieces throughout. We dined at "Toppers" and enjoyed a delicious gourmet meal. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Wauwinet and we would love to return to such a magical place.

Little gem in Nantucket
We had the best time in Nantucket. Made so much better by staying at this lovely hotel. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff. The hotel itself is just dreamy. Food was amazing. Loved the fact that it was right on the beach. The sunsets where something else. If it wasn’t 15+ hours to get there it would definitely be my go to place, so will have to wait until next year to go back. Counting down already
