Clean and very centrally located property. Room was small, but comfortable. It was nice to be able to walk all to town and the buses were great. Breakfast was like not sure why they bothered, wasn’t much of anything, but lots of places nearby to eat. Stayed three nights, had a fun time in Nantucket.

We had a wonderful stay at Periwinkle Inn. Gail, the innkeeper, was very helpful and communicative. She upgraded us before our arrival from a queen to a king due to availability. Our room was spacious, had an updated en suite bathroom, and was very comfortable. The location in town is unbeatable. If you are expecting a small inn in a historic part of town (e.g., road noise is common in these types of buildings and they have character), then you'll have a 5/5 stay!

The property was as described. The owner herself was there at breakfast to greet us and make sure that we were comfortable and that are the breakfast items were available to us. It was a very pleasant stay and I would stay there again. She also let us store our luggage for free until it was time for our ferry.

The room was spotless and tastefully decorated, with a lovely peek at the harbor. The staff were very friendly, and the location is perfectly convenient for getting around town. Breakfast was enjoyable; adding a selection of fresh berries would make it even better.

We loved staying here and enjoyed the local laidback vibes. The breakfast was delicious and the room was lovely. The housekeeping staff was so kind. All of the check in and communication was clear and easy to follow. Taxi suggestions and brochures in the house gave us plenty of options to stay busy! Thanks for a great stay!

Loved that the room had a private bathroom and that the breakfast area was on the same floor. Lots of good options to eat, also. The decor was adorable while keeping with a "Nantucket" feel.
