Almost like being on a boat, The Cottages & Lofts at the Boat Basin sit right alongside the slips of the award-winning Nantucket Boat Basin, offering unbeatable waterfront views. The 29 studio, one,- two,- and three-bedroom Cottages & Lofts come equipped with a full kitchen and most with a patio or deck, so a couple can happily hole up for a weekend, or a whole crowd can play and stay together. The nautical interiors, in a palette of marine blue, Nantucket red, and sail white, inspire guests to kick off their boat shoes and go barefoot, venturing out for drinks or a gourmet meal along the harbor. The staff makes it their mission to assist guests with all their island needs, from ideal beach picnic spots to scoring a reservation at the hottest joint in town. For a cruise to the beach, hop on the polka-dotted Beach Bus – an island take on the classic beach shuttle. And those who like to travel with their pets will love the Woof Cottages, a collection of 11 cottages that are set aside just for those bringing their pups and kitty-cats.
