great vacation! great location!

Great hotel, just a short walk to town, which we loved! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and our room had a little kitchen with coffee pods each morning. We will definitely be back!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay! Quiet, quaint, in the heart of downtown. We walked everywhere and thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the Inn to decompress. We loved the fire pit out front, front porch, and picnic table in the back. Audrey, the housekeeper, was so kind when we saw her and our room was always sparkling clean and refreshed. Service looks more like an “Airbnb” with door codes and your own check in rather than concierge, but we didn’t mind it at all. The interior decor was beautiful and tasteful, something I didn’t feel like was totally captured in my hunt - it may have recently been updated! I found The Centerboard to be one of the more affordable options on island and it had absolutely everything we needed.

Very nice property, super comfortable

It was absolutely lovely, but I really missed having a staff on site which made me feel a bit unsafe. Communication was outstanding, but Hotels.com not so great, with the wrong phone number for the property, and rates higher than if I had dealt directly with the owner.

I only stayed for one night for a work project, but it worked out great for me. The room was good for me alone and probably the same for a couple. I thought the bathroom/shower were good. I had to call a couple times in order to get instructions for entrance (as there is no staff), but I ultimately did receive it prior to my check in time.

Loved it!

We loved our stay at Centerboard! The space was amazing. It was very comfortable and well appointed. We loved coming back to our home away from home after a day exploring Nantucket. (I tried to sneak the bathtub home in my suitcase but couldn’t get it to fit).

The best part of the room was the shower! It had fabulous water pressure, and I love the product supplied. The bed was very comfortable, but a bit of a tight fit getting out of the king bed on one side. The inn keeper was quick to reply to requests, and very accommodating.
