The Barnacle Inn

"I can't say enough good things about the Barnacle Inn. I planned a getaway trip for the end of Sept, just the two of us without our young toddlers, for my husband's 40th birthday and stayed here Monday through Friday. We had SUCH an amazing time, all thanks to our wonderful hosts and the great B+B itself! Here are the things I loved the most: 1) Location - this place is only 2 blocks from the top of downtown Nantucket - you can walk to all the shops, restaurants, ferry, museums, and even to a couple of beaches! 2) Service/Hosts - it wasn't just a place to stay, the hosts were ALWAYS there to answer our questions and help us figure out a plan for the day and where to go. They were kind, fun to talk to, and always had a plate of freshly baked cookies available. Even though we booked a small room without a bathroom (for $199/night special deal), they actually gave us a large choice of which room to stay in when we arrived since there was a storm and a few folks had to cancel - so we ended up getting a great room upgrade! 3) Quaint environment - really enjoyed having breakfast in the courtyard every morning, and one day we had a free afternoon so my husband went shopping by himself while I sat in the courtyard reading in the sunshine. I feel really lucky that I was able to book the Barnacle Inn and for the low price that I got. It was a great deal that is most likely unmatched anywhere on the island, and I honestly cannot wait to find another excuse to come back (hopefully next time it will be in the summer and not fall)!"

"We loved everything about our stay at The Barnacle Inn! The owners and the staff were welcoming and friendly, the room was cozy and cute, and the breakfasts were all delightful! It was the perfect spot for a couple of honeymooners like us!"

"Had the chance to stay at this beautiful paradise this week while visiting some friends and I must say this is a special bed and breakfast. The staff is kind, room was clean, establishment is historic and the location couldn’t be more perfect. Loved being able to walk to town to check out the shops and restaurants. The barnacle juice is also delicious during breakfast service. You can tell the Owner and staff do a great job at taking care of the place with upgrades, while still capturing the 1920’s history. Can’t wait to go back!"

"My wife and I stayed hear while visiting from NC. We had a great experience. We stayed in the Harmony room which was clean and well appointed. Suzie and her staff did a fantastic job making us feel right at home! Breakfast in the courtyard each morning was delicious and very relaxing. The location of the inn is fantastic and we were able to walk to all of the restaurants and shopping on Main St. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next trip to Nantucket."

"How do I start, this was an amazing stay for myself and my fiancé who does work for the island. We were greeted with a warm welcome and shown around. Our room was perfect and fit two adults comfortably. The Inn has beach towels and chairs for the guests to use for the day as well as a beautiful outdoor patio to sit outside. I was able to read out there as well as enjoy a delicious breakfast. The staff were so nice and were very helpful. Also at night, delicious warm homemade cookies are out for guests to snack on. The inn is right next to town for easy access to the shops and restaurants. 10/10! I hope to come back soon."
