We really liked this hotel! You are located on the wharf where the Hi-Line ferry arrives which is also very close to the center of town. The best part was the killer views from almost a full 360 degrees from our deck. The one-bedroom cottages are the best deal and all rooms come with a full kitchen so you can... More

Our cottage was on the upper floor overlooking the harbor. It was cute, quaint and met our needs in terms of comfort and convenience (there is a kitchenette). Two window air conditioners cooled the unit, but they were noisy. The bathroom was quite small. For the price of these units, we may look at another property next time we visit... More

This was our first time in Nantucket. We booked here as it was something totally different from the usual inns and B & Bs. We spent 5 nights at Sea Syren, which overlooks the Tavern and Gazebo. Not the water view that I had hoped for (based on what the website showed). Our accommodations were roomy and comfy. The queen-sized... More

My husband and I spent a weekend in the three bedroom, two bath cottage Orion with my two brothers and their wives (so, 3 couples total). This cottage was perfect for 6 people to share. If you call in advance, they will make up all of the bedrooms as king size beds, normally the two non-master bedrooms have twin beds.... More

Our cottage was at... More

We stayed at the Cottages the first week in August of this year for 5 nights. We have been to the island before and have never stayed in a hotel (always rent a house). We wanted to get away for the weekend and this hotel peeked my curiosity because it was on the marina and I knew my husband would... More

Was very impressed with service at boat basin cottages. We were able to get a last minute reservation for overnight stay into a woof cottage since our dog was with us and checked in about 7 pm. When we returned after dinner a "dog package" was waiting for us with a dog beds, bowls, along with take home treats, ,... More

Great little cottages. Fun experience to stay at the wharf. Great location. We particularly liked the bikes that were provided by the hotel. The service was great. I was worried that the cottage would have evidence of prior dog visitors, but they were clean and comfortable. It was a great unique experience, and I would definitely stay there again.
