"A classic New England bed and breakfast with a boutique hotel vibe, the Union Street Inn is housed in an impeccably maintained 1770 whaling captain’s home just off Main Street in downtown Nantucket. A short walk from the Hy-Line ferry and harbor, the inn has a convenient location in town (including parking, a huge perk on the island) and can also outfit guests with beach gear for a day on the sand. A quintessential gray-shingled exterior contrasts with the bright blue chinoiserie patterns and crisp white Frette and Matouk linens in the inn’s 12 immaculate rooms. Union Street’s cherry on top is the made-to-order gourmet breakfast, which might feature fresh peach cinnamon rolls or homemade carrot cake, depending on the season."

An incredible experience for our 4-night stay. This inn was absolutely amazing in every way. We stayed in Room 9, which was plenty large and exceeded our expectations. The staff were so accommodating and helpful. They offered recommendations for daily activities and also assisted with booking dinner reservations. Truly the nicest people we came across on Nantucket. We had plans to get breakfast at various places in town, but never left the inn... the complimentary breakfast is out of this world. We will absolutely stay here again. It is in a perfect location and we were treated so well our entire stay.

From the moment you arrive, the amazing team at the Union Street Inn makes you feel like royalty and family, all rolled into one! A beautiful setting and lovely amenities, in addition to close proximity to Main Street make this a "must stay" property. Beautifully appointed guest rooms and delicious "cooked to order" breakfast on the gorgeous patio area are a perfect start to your day. We especially enjoyed the self guided walking tour created by our hosts - a great way to see and familiarize visitors with historic Nantucket. The attention to every detail from dinner reservations, helpful hints for sights, and booking transportation was greatly appreciated. And did I mention the delicious snack display every day? Fresh coffee, teas, water/ice, and beverage of the day with brownies, cookies, etc! YUM!!! PLUS, a detailed list placed under our door every morning with every possible activity available in Nantucket on that particular day was incredibly helpful in planning our excursions! We will be back!!!

We have stayed at the Union Street Inn before and this trip was as wonderful as our previous visits. The location close to town is perfect and the accommodations are elegant and comfortable. The staff is extremely hospitable and accommodating (my daughter has a peanut allergy and Michael made a separate batch of chocolate chip cookies just for her). The breakfasts are delicious and the side patio is a beautiful spot to enjoy them. We always enjoy our visits to the Union Street Inn and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quaint bed and breakfast with beautiful accommodations and exceptional service.

Incredible staff and hospitality. Breakfast is amazing. Daily pamphlets provided with all the happenings around the island are so helpful for planning a day. I will not stay anywhere else on the island again. Like many inns around the island it’s an older inn, so it’s a little creaky, but the rooms have their own heating/AC systems, lighting, windows, power, TV, closet, mirror, and lots of character. We had the smallest room and were very happy with it. Highly recommend.

Union Street Inn was a fantastic place for our first trip to Nantucket! The staff is truly wonderful, kind and attentive. The Inn is cozy and well designed with lovely furnishings, bedding and linens. We did not want to leave our room and are already planning our return visit!

We loved our stay at the Union Street Inn and highly recommend it to anyone considering a B&B stay in Nantucket! They balance the cozy, warm feeling of a historic inn with the luxury & elegance of top quality hospitality in every sense! Great location without much noise from the street, beautiful decoration, and superb service from everyone at the Inn - all so nice, love to chat, and willing to make local recommendations. And the food was delicious!! As well as the afternoon snacks 🥰 A must for anyone considering an Inn in Nantucket!

The Union Street Inn was a wonderful place for our August stay. The staff were all wonderful and truly some of the kindest people we have ever met. The Inn is chic, cozy, and very well kept. The breakfast outside in the garden area was lovely. And we really appreciated the location, close to all the shops and restaurants but just outside the bustle of downtown.

My wife and I just finished a 4 night stay for our anniversary and we can’t say enough good things about the Union Street Inn and their staff. The staff is the most courteous and dedicated group that we have ever had the pleasure to meet anywhere. They really added to the charm of the inn. The breakfast was one of the best parts, as it is cooked to order every morning and the kitchen staff didn’t skip a beat. Best omelettes, French toast and pancakes on the island! The Inn itself is so historic yet modern and comfortable. Very short walks to anywhere downtown. The back patio was probably our favorite place, so peaceful and quiet. The concierge teams and innkeepers were so friendly and pleasant to talk to…but we had the pleasure of spending the most time with Dennis and he really made our trip just a little bit better each day. Nantucket is a truly special place and I can’t imagine there being a better place to spend your down time than at the Union Street Inn.

It was our first time to Nantucket and we felt like we were visiting relatives. The staff made us feel at home. From the notes of the day, with activity ideas to the delicious breakfast options and the afternoon treats. Lovely place to stay. Walking distance to so many restaurants, shops and activities.

My husband and I stayed three nights at this Inn in September and it was perfect. The accommodations were great. Everything was clean and the staff were very accommodating. Breakfast was tasty and again they were very accommodating regarding any dietary needs. The staff was accommodating with dining recommendations and arranging activities for us. When we needed a cab we informed the staff and the cab was waiting for us. The location is perfect if you are a walker. It is close to the town center and other little coffee shops. We strongly recommend this Inn.

Had the most beautiful stay at Union Street Inn. We were instantly met with a warm welcome and felt right at home for our short but memorable weekend stay. The impeccable service was friendly, attentive, and detailed, and the breakfast was perfection. Special shout out to Nayla, who went above and beyond to give us a once in a lifetime experience on Nantucket. Cannot recommend enough, we will be back!

Our stay was great. Kevin and his staff were friendly, very accomodating, very interested in making our stay enjoyable, and helpful with Nantucket information. The Inn and the rooms have a very comfortable feeling and are well maintained. The breakfast and outdoor patio are special. Also, has an ideal location.

I cannot recommend the Union Street Inn enough! The place is so cute! It was been updated and the decor is great! The staff were all amazing! They were so friendly, gave amazing restaurant recommendations, and were seriously the nicest staff I have encountered on all of my travels. The breakfast was delicious and they cooked it when you ordered. If you are staying in Nantucket, this is an amazing place to stay! The location is great also!

After reflecting on our traversal across the east coast from Kennebunkport, Newport, the Vineyard, and Nantucket, this is easily the best stay we had by a good margin. From the morning newsletter/itinerary of things happening in town each day, to the in-house made to order breakfast, to the afternoon snacks, this was excellent. Other places may have more name recognition, but for the quality, this blows them away.

We stayed at the Inn for 4 nights and hit the jackpot with this beautiful B&B. All the staff were friendly, treated you like family and were available for suggestions, reservations etc. The fully cooked made to order breakfast on the patio each morning was the perfect way to start the day. They offer a spread each afternoon with coffee, teas, carrot cake and other goodies. We were able to help ourselves to cans of water from the refrigerator and daily newspapers were in the parlor. We stayed in room #2 which was beautifully arranged with a big comfortable king bed. The shower was perfect pressure for us. There is on-site parking for those who need it, and a bicycle rack for those renting bikes. I cannot say enough about this wonderful Inn and it's wonderful staff. We would definitely stay here again for a Nantucket visit.

I was lucky to get a last minute booking at the Union Street Inn and I couldn't have been happier. The room was perfect. I was in room #5, an upper corner room. I received an email warning me that the bathroom was very small, but it was perfectly fine. It was a hot weekend so I was happy to find that the air conditioning worked well and was very quiet. It made it easy to get a good night's rest. The staff is wonderful. The breakfast was great. If I make it back to Nantucket I will be looking for a room here first.

I never stay in small inns because I feel like you run into staff all the time-but this was the nicest inn I have ever stayed in. The staff were so kind and helpful, and it was the most comfortable room I could have asked for. Every morning they put an activities of the day under your door with happenings on the island. On the back are the movies and times playing that night, and they let you know what their breakfast is that day on site. This is included in the room fee, and looked wonderful. Every day around 3 they put out iced tea and treats, and they have a lovely patio area if you want some fresh air. I am here in off season, so my room was extremely affordable. Comfortable bed, great tolietries, and a crew that really cares about your comfort! I will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful stay at the Union Street Inn recently. The room was spotless every day we stayed and the staff were very accommodating and lovely. They went out of their way to make the stay seamless, and had great suggestions for us on what to check out and do. The breakfast every morning was as fantastic as the other reviews say. The location is also great to all the main shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

I've come to Nantucket every summer for years, staying at different inns each time. This is by FAR the best. The ladies at the front desk are cheerful, welcoming and uber helpful. Our dinner reservations for our entire stay were all arranged by them before we even arrived. Breakfast is included--and this isn't a "continental" breakfast consisting of a muffin or croissant. This is a breakfast of your choice of 3 or 4 menu items, all fantastic. Our rooms were kept extremely clean and well-stocked with towels, water, etc. There is free WiFi and a computer in the hall. The location is also great--right by the shuttle station and only a block or two from Main Street, but on a quiet street. I was delighted and can't think of anywhere I'd rather stay on future visits.

Great place to stay. Clean and cozy. We have stayed only for one night initially but then decided to extend it to two nights. Stuff is super friendly, nice, polite and always trying to help. Breakfast is so delicious and they have four options to choose from plus complimentary Prosecco around 5pm. I would highly recommend this hotel as a great place with a positive atmosphere and great people around. They really get you to feel as you are not a guest but as it's your own house.

My fiancé and I stayed here for our honeymoon trip. We absolutely loved it! All of the staff were extremely kind and accommodating, breakfast and mid day cookies were exceptional and the room was adorable!! The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. The inn is super close to town which was great for walking to dinner each night. We will definitely be back! Thank you Kevin, Shelby and Amanda for making our stay wonderful!

YAY! I get to be the first to review the Union Street Inn! When my husband and I first met, we started a tradition of vacationing in Nantucket every summer. In the beginning we were looking for that perfect place - so every year we'd try a new B&B until we found one we were excited enough about to settle on. For me, it was Union Street Inn. Ken and his wife, the owners, are perfect hosts. Unlike other B&B's we'd stayed in, they offer services like full concierge (which is helpful when trying to line up those ever popular dinner reservations in the summer), put free little bottled waters in the common fridge, always have coffee, herbal teas, and some sort of munchie out for guests. (Big huge cookies, or muffins, for example.) They offer beach towels. Their breakfast is the best I've had at a B&B in Nantucket. There is always the same cold option - bagel with smoked salmon and the fixings, or you can get toast (made with homemade thick whole grain bread) and fruit. Then they offer one hot entree that rotates depending on the day. Examples would be an incredible omelet, or french toast smothered in fruit and served with sausage, or eggs Benedict. When it's not raining, breakfast is served in their lovely secluded garden. The rooms are decorated absolutely beautifully, with Frette linens, Pierre Deux wallpapers and curtains, and classic color schemes. Rooms have genuine antiques or reproductions - but they are in good condition and not worn like other inns I've stayed in. Bathroom amenites are by Fresh. And the inn has free wi-fi. Be sure to book the Union Inn early - they sell out fast. Their availability calender is conveniently located on their website.

A beautiful B&B in the heart of Nantucket run by a sweetheart of an owner, and just about the only such kind of place that serves a full and delicious breakfast that comes with the room. That room, however, is a bit over-priced for what you get, so, from a value perspective it loses a star. Nonetheless, one of the nicest and most romantic B&Bs on the island.

On a whim, my husband and I decided to escape to Nantucket for a minimoon a week after our wedding on Cape Cod. We stumbled upon this gem and are so glad we did!! The Union Street Inn is as lovely and charming as the photos and the staff are sublime! They were so helpful and sweet and really made us feel so welcome. Breakfast each morning was delicious and the staff was armed with info and recommendations to make the most of our brief holiday. We will absolutely be back, hopefully sooner than later!

The Union St Inn is nothing short of amazing! The staff, Stacy, Leigh Ann, Bethany, were all so helpful to us. Also, had some of the BEST breakfasts there, included with the room. Anything that we needed (phone chargers, coffee all day, water bottles) was available to us. Very clean, and strong attention to detail from the staff. They also provide beach chairs, towels, books, and magazines to bring along to the beach in a beach bag when the weathers good. The Union Street Inn makes for a perfect place to stay while visiting Nantucket!

What a great place... the rooms are very nice and opulent, but the building is older, and the walls are a little thin, so keep that in mind when you're in the bathrooms :) There is free wifi, and the location is right off of main street, so it's a quick walk once you get off the boat, and you're in walking distance of just about everything. The proprietors are fantastic, and very accommodating... they let us store our things there for a day after we checked out, and were constantly offering free coffee and food... We'll definitely stay here again.

T and I booked it out of Boston on Friday like a 5th grader escaping out of school on the final day before summer vacay. We caught the express ferry and arrived at Nantucket for our 5-year anniversary celebration. They were really great helping plan and make reservations for dinner, and having a bottle of veuve ready to enjoy upon arrival. We had the largest corner room with an attached sitting room. With afternoon snacks, made-to-order breakfast, this is an amazing place with a great small outdoor sitting area! Pictures and more on -- ----

Stayed here for a quick getaway in June. First off, remember June is considered early season in ACK, so we still paid a decent price but nothing near what they want high season (I think the room we stayed in goes for $500-600 in august). The innkeepers were excellent (knowledgable, nice, and helpful). They obviously put a lot of pride into the place. The breakfast was also excellent with multiple options cooked to order. Our room was as described, a nicely renovated old house room. It creaked, had a tiny bathroom, etc, but those little 'charms' are to be expected. All in all this was a great place for a getaway, but it is pricey like the rest of ACK.

We stayed for a long weekend away at Union Street Inn celebrating our wedding anniversary. For us it was the perfect location for walking to any interests in Nantucket town. Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable with a tasteful mix of historical and modern decor. Choices at breakfast were fantastic with offerings as substantial or as light as you wish. Staff was always available, ready to help and inform but never intrusive. This was our first trip to Nantucket, but thanks to Union Street Inn and the wonderful staff, it will not be our last.

We think this is the best B&B on Nantucket. This was a repeat visit for my wife and I and we loved it. In fact, I had forgotten how much we really loved the place. First, the breakfast is a full breakfast, which is a rarity on Nantucket (I read something that mentioned there is a goofy local ban on this? Not sure, but most just do continental breakfasts). The breakfast is fantastic, served on the spacious patio. The innkeepers are also accommodating toward food choices by offering eggs if you are on a low carb or some other dietary restrictions. On the morning we were there, they were serving blueberry pancakes, which looked fabulous but we'd done a sweet b'fast the day before and opted for mini omelets, which where perfect. Secondly, the rooms are impeccable. They have nice beds with top notch linens and plenty of pillows to make for a great night's sleep. The TVs and wifi are all reliable and the bath is also supplied with excellent shampoos and soaps. Great water pressure too. They do everything to make your stay perfect, including: making restaurant reservations in advance (we appreciated that!), offering beach supplies for day trips to the beach, bicycle parking (we rented from one of the local shops and kept our bikes overnight) and just about anything else you can imagine. This place rocks. We will only stay here for future Nantucket trips.

My husband and I stayed at this inn recently for our honeymoon and it is definitely not worth the money. We had signed up for a romance package which was supposed to include a couples massage at the White Elephant spa. We got a call from the inn a day before check-in that massages are sold out at White Elephant inn and if we would like to have them booked somewhere else instead. We had specifically signed up for the massages at the White elephant Spa and we did not want them at any other unknown spa for that high price, so we said no. The staff did not even apologize to us for this mistake when in fact they should have booked these in advance for us or at least let us know in advance that they were not available. On top of that, we were promised complimentary champagne and chocolates, out of which we only received a small box of chocolates in our room and no champagne. All of the management and concierge at this hotel seemed a bit stand-offish and condescending in general and were barely even thanked for our stay when we left. Needless to say, we are not going back to this place. UPDATE: After posting the above review, I got a call from Ken, one of the owners. He reached out to me to talk and get some more details about my experience and to see if there was anything they could do to make it better. I explained to him why I felt the way I did and he was very understanding and cooperative. He even invited us to come back and stay at the inn again at no charge or refund us the amount of our stay if we cannot make it back there again. We won't be making it back there again so they gave us a refund. All in all, we felt better about everything after talking to Ken and they seem genuinely concerned about our experience and about being in the hospitality business in general.

What a wonderful inn! Very courteous owner and staff with a great knowledge of the local scene. Very accomodating to our needs.

Nothing short of amazing! The staff are super helpful and friendly, the breakfasts and afternoon snacks awesome, and the room gorgeous! Celebrated my 60th here, and wish I could return every year. The location is also ideal for exploring the island. Loved everything, but it really is the staff that makes this place so over the top special!
