The Barnacle Inn - Inn in Nantucket - 11 Fair St, USA

I can't say enough good things about the Barnacle Inn. I planned a getaway trip for the end of Sept, just the two of us without our young toddlers, for my husband's 40th birthday and stayed here Monday through Friday. We had SUCH an amazing time, all thanks to our wonderful hosts and the great B+B itself! Here are the things I loved the most: 1) Location - this place is only 2 blocks from the top of downtown Nantucket - you can walk to all the shops, restaurants, ferry, museums, and even to a couple of beaches! 2) Service/Hosts - it wasn't just a place to stay, the hosts were ALWAYS there to answer our questions and help us figure out a plan for the day and where to go. They were kind, fun to talk to, and always had a plate of freshly baked cookies available. Even though we booked a small room without a bathroom (for $199/night special deal), they actually gave us a large choice of which room to stay in when we arrived since there was a storm and a few folks had to cancel - so we ended up getting a great room upgrade! 3) Quaint environment - really enjoyed having breakfast in the courtyard every morning, and one day we had a free afternoon so my husband went shopping by himself while I sat in the courtyard reading in the sunshine. I feel really lucky that I was able to book the Barnacle Inn and for the low price that I got. It was a great deal that is most likely unmatched anywhere on the island, and I honestly cannot wait to find another excuse to come back (hopefully next time it will be in the summer and not fall)!

Had the chance to stay at this beautiful paradise this week while visiting some friends and I must say this is a special bed and breakfast. The staff is kind, room was clean, establishment is historic and the location couldn’t be more perfect. Loved being able to walk to town to check out the shops and restaurants. The barnacle juice is also delicious during breakfast service. You can tell the Owner and staff do a great job at taking care of the place with upgrades, while still capturing the 1920’s history. Can’t wait to go back!

Lovely inn with nautical touches and a lovely host! The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were clean, and and the hospitality meant a lot to my Mom and I. We are so glad we chose to stay here and recommend having breakfast on the patio each morning.

Very nice inn. Susie is the best hostess and we loved her Bernese Mountain dog. Fresh baked cookies greet you when you check in. Water, hot tea, & coffee available all day. Breakfast was yogurt, various muffins/scones, cheese wedge, juice and delicious. Room was small but neat, clean and comfortable. Walking distance to town. Enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods. Definitely recommend!

The Barnacle Inn is a true treasure! I had a fantastic stay and took full advantage of relaxing in the garden & the close proximity to downtown. I opted for a single bed with private bath. My room and bed were very comfortable, the continental breakfast always included freshly baked pastries, fresh fruit, cheese, & yogurt. The location is fantastic, the rooms are comfortable, but the best part is the staff. The Inn Keepers, Suzie & Phil are absolutely terrific! They are so friendly, accommodating, and have all the recommendations you ask for. I felt like I was visiting my favorite Aunt & Uncle! I highly recommend staying at the Barnacle Inn!

My wife and I booked a trip to Nantucket on relatively short notice. Fortunately, the Barnacle Inn still had a room available. The location was great (within walking distance of most everything in town), the setting was lovely, the owners (and their sweet dog) and staff were very friendly, and the breakfasts each day were very enjoyable. We'd gladly stay here, again!

My wife and I stayed hear while visiting from NC. We had a great experience. We stayed in the Harmony room which was clean and well appointed. Suzie and her staff did a fantastic job making us feel right at home! Breakfast in the courtyard each morning was delicious and very relaxing. The location of the inn is fantastic and we were able to walk to all of the restaurants and shopping on Main St. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next trip to Nantucket.

We loved everything about our stay at The Barnacle Inn! The owners and the staff were welcoming and friendly, the room was cozy and cute, and the breakfasts were all delightful! It was the perfect spot for a couple of honeymooners like us!
