Summary: What an amazing experience from beginning to end. This resort is definitely worth the money. Amazing views. Awesome access to a bay on one side and the ocean on the other. We practically had the beaches to ourselves. And the afternoon port wine and cheese is relaxing and a great social hour to learn more about others and all that the island has to offer. And the resort staff are all awesome. They are not only knowledgeable, but caring. They literally go out of their way to help you, regardless if they are currently busy. I hope the owners (Karps) read this review and are aware that you can have a great set of programs like they currently do, but it is their current staff and management that takes their resort "over the top." Captain Rob, the tour guide is a historian and navigator of the island. And Sean Burpee, their manager of the Wauwinet, really works with you to get the type of experience(s) you want while you are at their resort. They are nothing short of outstanding and I hope that if they ever receive offers from other programs that the owners will match those offers and increase their salaries to keep these amazing people in place so that the program does not suffer. These people know exactly how to make you have the experience of a lifetime. This place and all the staff are easily an 11/10.

Summary: The property is beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of Nantucket and other cities. The staff was very accommodating and the shuttles ran every hour into town till 11:00 pm for when you wanted to go in. I definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Nantucket. Topper’s was an exceptional dining experience. I felt like I was an extra in The Bear series.

Summary: This out of the way place is a gorgeous little inn away from it all with impeccable attention to service and detail. The amenities were a great addition including many excursions and our staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. I want to give a personal shout out to Tia who was so very sweet!

Summary: Excellent stay with a ton of amenities and great staff! This was a romantic spot with a private bay and beach access, a convenient shuttle to town that runs every hour to access shops and restaurants, and an option to take the hotel BMW for a few hours to explore the island on our own, not to mention complimentary bikes and afternoon boat rides. Staff supported every request (big and small) and the food was amazing, with views even more so! Overall, so glad we stayed out of the main town area and selected the Wauwinet! I highly recommend it and hope to come back again soon!
