We stayed at the end of the rope cottage and it was absolute perfection - all of the staff was incredibly helpful and went out of there was to make our stay feel special - I would absolutely recommend for a relaxing stay on Nantucket. Also want to note that it was very kid friendly as we had brought our 6 and 9 year old children.

Demetra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If you’re the kind of person who loves falling asleep to the soothing sounds of a nightclub DJ thumping away until after 1 a.m. every single night, then the Cottages at Nantucket Boat Basin might be your dream stay. For the rest of us who value even a hint of peace and quiet on vacation, it’s more like paying luxury rates for front-row seats at a late-night block party you didn’t RSVP to. The bed itself? Surprisingly solid—let’s just say it’s well-suited for “romantic activities.” Sleeping, on the other hand, was more of a challenge unless you happen to enjoy pulsing basslines as your lullaby. Charming location, nice staff, but unless management decides that guests might occasionally want rest as well as nightlife, I’d recommend bringing earplugs… or maybe just your best dance shoes.
Devon, 3-night trip
