The Centerboard Inn was a excellent pick for our 3 day mini-honeymoon. We were welcomed with chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. Lyn and Debbie were very helpful and accommodating. Debbie went out her way to chill beer we had bought for our BYOB dinner plans. I returned to find the beer on ice packed in a small cooler! We instantly... More

This inn was perfect for us. I was traveling with my daughter and mother and had concerns about being in such a small inn, but everything was just wonderful: the rooms were luxurious and beautifully decorated, breakfast and tea time were just right with home-baked goods & an assortment of drinks, and while cozy,we never felt like we were bumping...

We came to Nantucket to plan our daughter's wedding and stayed at the Centerboard Inn. We arrived in the midst of a torrential downpour, after a long day of cancelled fights, planes, trains and automobiles (and ferries!). Lynn and Deb kept in touch with us through the day, dried our clothes when we arrived looking like 4 drowned rats, and... More

I feared that the Centerboard might not live up to the perfect images on its website. Too often, hotel rooms barely resemble the photos you see online. Happy to report that the inn looked just as good, if not better, in person. Our room was spotless and this is not a compliment I hand out lightly. One stray hair is... More

We loved every minute of our recent visit to Nantucket, and our ‘home’, the Houseboat Studio at the Centerboard Inn, was perfect. Lyn and Debbie were amazing…so warm and welcoming, and full of good advice and suggestions. Nothing was too much trouble for them. And oh how delicious our breakfasts were every day! Something new and scrumptious every morning, and... More

As Nantucket rookies, we did not know what to expect of the island of Nantucket. I must say, loved, obsessed, and so cute are only a few words to describe our weekend away. The Centerboard Inn could not have made the weekend any more fabulous. Lyn and Debbie were perfection. They had wonderful recommendations for beaches, restaurants, and bike tours.... More

I knew I was at the perfect place when I was greeted by the fresh decor and welcoming innkeepers, Lyn and Debbie! This was my first time in Nantucket and I was more than impressed by the decor and the innkeepers attentiveness and eagerness to help make our trip perfect. Everyday I felt like a child on Christmas morning curious... More

I just got back from a wonderful three night stay at the Centerboard Inn and I can't say enough about the two most amazing Innkeepers I have ever met, Lyn and Debbie! The Inn itself is lovely with its light and airy decor, fresh bedding and clean rooms, and a continental breakfast that is superb and more than enough to... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Formerly a whaling captain's family manse, the 1886 Victorian structure, now a popular Nantucket MA bed and breakfast, was completely remodeled by new owners Paul and Lauri Benk in 2012. The interior has been painted and detailed; the floors refinished; furnishings, fixtures, carpeting and rugs have been replaced; and perhaps most importantly, all beds have been replaced and fitted to be luscious and inviting; featuring fine linens from Frette, Matouk and Serena & Lily. Sumptuous down duvets top all beds at this Nantucket luxury inn, along with fluffy fresh down pillows (of course down-alternatives are available if you have allergies).
