Pros:

The property is beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of Nantucket and other cities. The staff was very accommodating and the shuttles ran every hour into town till 11:00 pm for when you wanted to go in. I definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Nantucket. Topper’s was an exceptional dining experience. I felt like I was an extra in The Bear series.

Pros:

Excellent stay with a ton of amenities and great staff! This was a romantic spot with a private bay and beach access, a convenient shuttle to town that runs every hour to access shops and restaurants, and an option to take the hotel BMW for a few hours to explore the island on our own, not to mention complimentary bikes and afternoon boat rides. Staff supported every request (big and small) and the food was amazing, with views even more so! Overall, so glad we stayed out of the main town area and selected the Wauwinet! I highly recommend it and hope to come back again soon!

Pros:

The Wauwinet property is 10 star. The top notch service started at the front desk, the staff was helpful with where to go and all the activities on site. The in room service was amazing too, making sure we had clean towels throughout the day. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. My favorite is sitting on the lawn and enjoying the breeze. I love this property and would recommend the Wauwinet to my family and friends.

Overall; nice
Pros:

Been coming here for years with “the girls”.
Love pre season to stay away from the hoards of summer tourists.
Hopefully will be able to keep the tradition going for a few more years.
Staff always courteous and helpful.
I generally stay in the room on the third floor with the two twin beds. I think the bed by the window is definitely due for a new mattress.
I have a back problem and I hardly got any sleep. The mattress was not very comfortable.
Same issue last year.
Other than that, which is kind of a big deal every thing else was good.

Cons:

Could have let me know that Capt Ron was continuing to drive up to Great Point Lighthouse.
(He didn’t do it last year) That is generally a highlight of my trip. I definitely missed that.
