My husband and I just returned from a baby moon here and we absolutely loved this Inn! The location could not be better. It’s off the sweetest side street right out of town. Mary Lou couldn’t be more responsive or accommodating- she was such a joy to work with. We booked the Nantucket room since I read in a review If you have bikes book a first floor room (which is nonsense by the way as there is a bike rack around back to lock up your bikes) and it was beautiful and spacious. I loved the view of the street and the window boxes. Be aware that the room is truly right at the front of the hotel- the front door, bottom of stairs, and next to Parlor. We often heard people chatting and coming and going, but were in the room so infrequently it didn’t matter. It was also so lively with the restaurant down below. We got to eat there one night and the food, especially the drinks, were outstanding. This place is really a gem- I can’t recommend enough!…

My wife and I are so lucky to love Nantucket and Ship's Inn. These are not easy times. I am used to traveling frequently and due to the Trump Virus have not left NYC for 7 months. Mary Lou, inn manager, is an absolute sweetheart. The inn has masks and hand spray everywhere. Of course, there are fewer guests, but rest assured that Ship's Inn in Nantucket is a much appreciated oasis. Stay here are feel special again made possible by a very special staff.

This is the most adorable B&B in a great location with the kindest owners. The rooms are cozy and cute. Oh, and the breakfast is really yummy. The only negative was the (beautiful) antique tub/shower, which was difficult to operate.

In September we traveled to Nantucket with two other couples and were delighted in our choice of accommodation. Ship’s Inn was a cozy haven in close proximity to all places and activities on the island. Our hosts were warm, knowledgeable and made our stay memorable. Added bonus that was a wonderful surprise-the incredible dinner we enjoyed at Ship’s Inn’s restaurant on our last night. We’d love to return and heartily recommend Ship’s Inn!

Once more a perfect stay at the Ship's Inn! This inn is a delight. The location is perfect, close to shops, restaurants, and just a few blocks from the waterfront. I cannot say enough about innkeeper Mary Lou's responsiveness to any request. The cozy salon is a warm gathering place to meet other guests. Breakfast is yummy. The restaurant is truly outstanding. Dinner our last night was a special finale to a wonderful visit. Don't forget to order the soufflé!
