We stayed at this hotel because we were attending a wedding and offered a group rate, which really was an incredible deal for two nights in ACK. We have stayed all over the island and heard mixed reviews, so we figured we would give it a chance. The rooms are very simple, I think some of them are newer than... More

my boyfriend and i stayed here the first weekend in August and it was awesome! Its a short walk from downtown and a very close walk to Jetties beach but yet you are out of the bustle of the ferry traffic and of downtown. The pool was very clean with plenty of chairs to layout on and the lobby breakfast... More

So very happy that you and your boyfriend enjoyed your stay with us at the Beachside...you are right., this time of year, it is very busy downtown and a little more difficult to get around...Some of our guests just like to enjoy our beautiful pool or walk down to Jettie's Beach which is right down the street...and avoid the traffic...

This place is not the newest or cleanest and it definitely could use a renovation. However, it is nice enough, is reasonably priced, is very walkable to the downtown and has a nice pool. There is a beach and public tennis courts just down the street. It is also very walkable from the Ferry. You're going to spend enough in... More

Thank you for your comments on your recent stay at the Beachside...You are correct in seeing that our hotel is over thirty five years old...and although we have gone through various renovations at certain times throughout the years., there is always room for improvement, especially being located on an island with tough winters!!! We are so fortunate to be located... More

My husband and I visited Nantucket for a visit with our son who is working on the island for the summer months. We have vacationed on the island before in a more expensive, bed and breakfast.

But not because they are inviting you or will be available if you need service (almost impossible to receive any) but because the pillows and bed are so horrific you'll need the light to read by when you're up all night.

We stayed here for July 4th weekend. I'd been very apprehensive given the tripadvisor reviews from last summer, but was reassured by the owner before and during my stay, that her staff was working very hard at turning the hotel around and that any of my concerns would be promptly addressed. I'm glad to say I didn't have any concerns... More
