We had a fantastic stay at The Cottages at the Boat Basin in Nantucket. The staff were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to make us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Just cannot praise the staff enough—Cesal was even there waiting for us as soon as our feet landed off the ferry. What really stood out was how much they loved our goldendoodle. They greeted him with Nantucket gear, toys, treats, offered him a plush bed, and made sure we had everything we needed to keep him comfortable. It’s rare to find a place that is not only dog-friendly, but truly dog-loving, and The Cottages absolutely delivered. We left feeling relaxed, appreciated, and already excited to come back. Highly recommend for anyone traveling with a furry family member.

A fun place to stay right on the boat basin. Convenient to town, shopping, dining and the Wave (bus). Parking was a bit of a problem but in the nature of the location. There is designated parking off site (about a 10-15 minute walk). Staff were very friendly and helpful - overall an excellent experience!
