The barnacle inn is a great location in town. The owners are nice and friendly! The Inn is comfortable and the rooms are a bit on the smaller side. We would have appreciated more fresh, updated amenities and furnishings in our room. It’s hard to beat the location of the Barnacle Inn!

Our host Susie could not have been more sweet! The Barnacle Inn is cozy and makes you feel at home. Kind of makes you feel like you’re visiting family that has a beautiful house in Nantucket. We found it to be quiet and soundproofed. Warm cookies in the afternoon is a nice touch! Open windows in our room, letting a nice cool breeze. Although air-conditioning is available. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to downtown plenty of restaurants and shopping. Not far from where the wave. (Public transportation) Drops you off and pick you up To visit many sites on the island.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the best place we ever could have chosen. Suzie is the best, she was extremely kind, helpful, and really cares about her guests. The breakfast was always fresh and it was delicious, every single person on the staff was friendly and kind. I can not recommend the Barnacle Inn enough!

Perfect Mother Daughter trip!
Charming and quaint. We loved our suite. A king and twin for my adult daughters in one large room with 2 dressers and 2 mirrors, and a queen room for me with my own sink. There was a connecting bathroom and hall. Breakfast in the garden was the perfect way to start each day. Beach towels and chairs are provided. Despite being close to main street, it was completely quiet and relaxing. Perfect location! Try Ships Inn restaurant next door. So convenient!
