There are too many bad things about this place to mention so suffice to say, GO ELSEWHERE! more

I stayed at the 76 Main a few months ago while visiting Nantucket for a conference. The inn is an old home and it seemed to be in pretty good condition overall. I stayed in a room, which was a part of the main house (there are also rooms in the addition in the back), but had its own entrance... more

The owner (David) is quite rude and disrespectful. He has a LONG list of do-nots as soon as you enter the home. From the minute we entered the door - we should have run the other way. He treated as if we were children - we listened to a complete lecture of what we could and what we couldn't do.... more

Lovely location....lovely home...while I can understand Innkeeper wanting to keep his historic home clean and perfect...as a fellow B&B owner, I think that the owner/Innkeeper needs to lighten up a bit as people are on vacation and don't want to have a bunch of rules shoved down their throat...nor do they want to feel as if they are being watched... more

Spooky, creepy and a lousy B&B awaits the foolhardy that go here. I'll admit the rate was tempting compared to other places that were over 400.00. However, GET A SECOND JOB! and go elsewhere! Nantucket typically takes a while to get to so you have no doubt driven, or taken a ferry or even flown for hours to get there.... more

Just returned from our weekend in Nantucket - our trip was wonderful - however the experience with David the innkeeper of 76 Main was not! He is the least personable innkeeper and the Nantucket tourism industry would be well served not to have him as part of it!! He has more rules than a RA in a college dorm. We... more

It is always a disappointment to have persons come to the inn and be in any way unhappy. The inn is home to about 40+ persons on any given night, about 6300 over the season. Some want to party, some to be very private and romantic, some are here to rest at a time of reflection or grief, some are...

Very charming B and B located in the heart of downtown. HOWEVER, the owner, is clearly in the wrong business. He greets his guests with a lengthy "tour" that consists of among other things, about twenty do's and do not's... I turned to my girlfriend and suggested taking notes. Beware of the window and door policies; he is a stickler... more

My husband and I have stayed at the same B&B, in Nantucket, Mass., for years and thought it was time to share this great spot. The 76 Main Street Inn is located on the crest of Main St., a short walk from St. Wharf. Most of the shops and wonderful restaurants are within walking distance. Your day starts with a... more

I loved my stay at 76 Main Street Inn. It holds that quaint New England charm. It was very clean. Fresh bakery goods from the local bakery were served every morning in the dinning room. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding places to eat and place to see. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. The... more

Fussbudgety owner greets you with a lengthy list of 'don'ts': don't make noise, smoke, use candles, forget to lock the door, go into the kitchen after 10AM, or bring coffee or tea to your room. He made me feel distinctly unwelcome. After a couple more odd incidents, the last straw was his request that I not sit down on his... more
