The Martin House Inn blends the convenience and comforts of today with the romance and nostalgia of the past. Built in 1803 by a sea captain for his bride and restored to a gracious old-world elegance, the inn combines the charm and romance of a bygone era with all the comforts of home. Its gathering areas, luxurious rooms, working fireplaces, peaceful veranda and serenity gardens (graced with gurgling fountains and a fire-pit, and caressed by the music of gentle breezes and classical piano), all beckon you to return. Watch a sunset from our roof-walk with a glass of wine in hand and savor the panorama of the town and harbor. Enjoy a bountiful continental breakfast, featuring our famous granola and scones, and come home to our homemade afternoon treats! Seven-time winner of the Certificate of Excellence award and located in the heart of Nantucket’s historic district, the inn is a short walk from shops, beaches, theatres, restaurants. 13 rms, A/C, WiFi, insider app for guests, including meditation and yoga (yoga matts, blocks, straps in each room), in-room hotel safes.

Martin house inn is a great way to spend a romantic time on Nantucket. My wife and I just stayed for our honeymoon in October and the inn was so cozy. Breakfast was served every morning with some small pastries, coffee and yogurt with granola and fruit. We stayed in the house they have outside the main house which was perfect, nicely redone and had a small loft with the bedroom up top. The inn keeper and general manager were very nice and super helpful in finding places to go for newcomers to the island and made sure we had things to do every day during the slower season. A short walk from downtown where most of the restaurants and shops are which was very convenient.

I needed a few days away and booked this place sight unseen. It was a wonderful stay - the private backyard garden, wrap around porch and breakfast were all excellent. There is a small rooftop deck with a wonderful view. Fresh cookies made each night. Definitely recommend it.

Thoughtful and conscience inn management makes a lovely stay. Everything is well organized and planned. I stayed in the very small top floor single, but found it charming. The towels superb. A tasty continental breakfast,evening cookies, and intriguing widows walk. Location across from the neighborly Seasons restaurant and Lilly Pond park’s walking boardwalk is perfect for heading out on a long hike to remarkable Sanford Reserve or the nearby Atheneum , where I noticed many of the other interesting guest retired to after breakfast.

We had a lovely stay here, highly recommended. The host was great, the room was clean, warm, comfortable and quaint. It’s in a very quiet location but still close enough to walk to the village. The linens were so soft and the bed was very comfortable. They got all the small things right, gifts in the room, robes, jumbo size towels that smell like blueberries. You will love staying here.

We stayed in Room 24 of the Inn over a weekend in September. It was a lovely place to stay. The room was gorgeous with a comfortable bed, strong shower, and cozy robes. There was even a yoga mat provided! Breakfast was divine. We thought the coffee was superior to the coffee shops we visited on the island. It's also a fantastic location. We walked everywhere (including to and from the ferry). I highly recommend this inn!

The Bad…The bed was way too soft and creaky. The air conditioner went on and off all night. The shower had used soap in it. The shampoo and shower gel containers in the shower did not work. The Good… the welcome cookies were amazing! And the breakfast was delightfully delicious.

I stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property itself was beautiful (loved the roofwalk!) and it was a privilege to stay in such a historic structure. The Inn is located just outside of the busier downtown and is a short walk or bike ride from a few nice beaches. I was on the third floor and was a little worried about how hot it might get, but the AC unit worked wonderfully. The shared bathroom was always very clean and I never had to wait to use it.

Nice inn in a great location and friendly service. I only give this 3 stars because some of the rooms have a shared bathroom. I booked through Travelocity and the note of that was buried deep in the property information and not properly highlighted. The inkeeper stated that the third party booking sites don't properly highlight this.

Nantucket is a unique place, and the Martin House Inn fits in with the island atmosphere perfectly. Accommodating, welcoming, cozy and friendly. We were on the third floor, Room 32. Some of the bedrooms are quite large and roomy, but 32 is not one of them. It was cozy and comfortable, with en suite bathroom. For a guest 6' tall or taller, watch it. Home made cookies in the evening, continental breakfast in the morning. Convenient to town, a short stroll from the harbor. Tons of history. We had a great time staying here and will gladly stay again. Thanks.
