My husband and I have just returned from a three day stay at the Centreboard Inn. It is an absolute gem, being run very efficiently by Lyn and Debbie. Our room was light, spacious and very clean . The breakfasts included in the price were excellent . On arrival we were given very good tips and suggestions about where to... More

I have stayed at the Centerboard Inn now for 5 years in a row when visting Nantucket. I love its location: close to downtown but in a quiet area. The rooms are very nice, the continental breakfast is perfect and Lyn and Debbie (the innkeepers) are the best. They know the true definition of hospitality.

Great location, spotless, and very comfortable room! The innkeeper was incredibly friendly and the bedding was great. We never used it, but there is a great fire pit out front. The complimentary breakfast was also very nice. Would definitely recommend to others, and would stay again.

We stayed in the main suite for our 1st anniversary. The large suite was very comfortable and relaxing . The inn has character yet it has been modernized. Lynn was very pleasant and accommodating! The inn is within walking distance of the ferry. We enjoyed a relaxing time and would definitely return!

My wife & I celebrated our anniversary and her 50th B-day there. It was a memorable stay. This Inn is perfect, with all the details you hope for - right down to the "Coastal Living" decor. Our hat is off to the Innkeeper, Lyn. She manages it all with an ease and charm not seen so much anymore. And she's... More

In April, 2013, my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary on Nantucket, where we had honeymooned. We spent 5 nights at the Centerboard Inn and recommend it highly. The Inn was lovely. The bed and linens were amazingly comfortable. Everything about our experience was enhanced by the exceptional hospitality of Innkeeper Lyn Francis. Every day Lyn was full of... More

My husband and I went to the Centerboard Inn for a pre-season long weekend, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The rooms are beautiful, the food delicious, and Lyn is just a superb innkeeper, so welcoming and friendly. We stayed in the Master Suite, and enjoyed it so much, we ended up extending our trip by a day and... More

My husband and I chose the Inn for our first visit to Nantucket and were so glad that we did. We spent two nights here and can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay.

This inn completely lived up to our expectations. As well as being immaculate and efficient, the Centerboard has a real warmth and charm. Some of that comes from the light, bright and airy design that is perfect for the New England location, but mostly from the professionalism and friendliness of the innkeeper, Lyn. We are from London, we'd never been... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Formerly a whaling captain's family manse, the 1886 Victorian structure, now a popular Nantucket MA bed and breakfast, was completely remodeled by new owners Paul and Lauri Benk in 2012. The interior has been painted and detailed; the floors refinished; furnishings, fixtures, carpeting and rugs have been replaced; and perhaps most importantly, all beds have been replaced and fitted to be luscious and inviting; featuring fine linens from Frette, Matouk and Serena & Lily. Sumptuous down duvets top all beds at this Nantucket luxury inn, along with fluffy fresh down pillows (of course down-alternatives are available if you have allergies). Each guest room at this lovely Nantucket bed and breakfast has an individual refrigerator, air conditioning, and a beautiful private bath featuring Frette towels and bathrobes and Malin-Goetz spa amenities.
