- Susie (10/5): - Wonderful location, attentive staff, lovely outdoor spaces.
- Wayne (10/5): - Our hosts were fantastic. Always eager to help us. Loved the location within 400 yards off all the restaurants and museums and the dock. Would definitely stay at the Barnacle again!

The only room left for the time we were there had us sharing a bathroom - however we never had any issues with the bathroom being busy/dirty. Our room was next to the bathroom - and we never even heard noise from it. Would stay here again 1000%!
- Shawn (10/5): - Highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back here next year. The Barnacle inn Staff are full of great information for a great vacation on the island.
- Mary Jo (8/5): - 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!
- Anthony (10/5): A nice home away from home. - Great service from reservation to check out. Fantastic hosts and so welcoming. The Inn felt like a home away from home.
- Steven (10/5): - Great service. Very timely and courteous staff You cannot beat the location.
- Phyllis (10/5): Phyllis - An amazing place to stay in Nantucket. Everything was perfect- the breakfasts were delicious with homemade pastries- highly recommend
- Lisa (10/5): - 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.
- Devin (10/5): - 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!
- John (10/5): Outstanding! - Just awesome! Great service and great accommodations.
- robert (8/5): - Sharing the bathroom during the nite
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent location, lovely gardens, inviting and quiet, comfortable room, lovely and friendly staff and fabulous breakfast.
- Thomas (10/5): Fun city - Wonderful
- Tim (10/5): - Amazing breakfast and just overall cozy feel of the place. Can’t ask for anything more and right in the heart of downtown Nantucket. We had a wonderful trip and the Barnacle Inn was a major reason why!
- Thelma (10/5): - Suzie, Phil and everyone were amazing. We really loved the breakfast in the mornings. Great location just feet from Main Street. My kids loved cookie time. Would recommend 10 out of 10.
- Joshua (10/5): - Great hosts. Thank you!
- Verified traveler (10/5): 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!
- Ricardo (10/5): - Really wonderful property and hosts. Absolutely loved it. Great location too.
- Brendan (10/5): - Terrific stay, a hidden gem in Nantucket.
- Lauren (10/5): - Had a lovely stay at The Barnacle Inn. Room was comfortable and had all amenities. Breakfast in the morning in the front of the property was beautiful and relaxing. Perfect location as you can be right in two within minutes. Will absolutely return our next trip to the island!
- Patricia (10/5): - The Barnacle Inn was so quaint. The breakfast was amazing! The staff was super friendly! It is a short walk to downtown shopping and stores. I definitely recommend.
- Ina (8/5): - Charming hostess. Very welcoming. The location is close to town making it convenient to walk to restaurants, shopping and the ferry. This inn is a very good value especially compared to the other properties in the area. The room was was comfortable, quaint, dated but clean. Linens and towels can use sn update. Had everything we needed. I liked the available herbal tea and coffee available any time, bowls of fruit and cookies in the afternoon. A welcome envelope with my name, key and instructions made check-in easy. Some bathrooms in the Inn have been updated. Ours had a footed tub with shower. Old, but clean and adequate. A continental breakfast was attractively presented on trays where we ate outside in various parts of the pretty gardens and patios. I would suggest a hard boiled egg and a croissant instead of sweet pastries in addition to the yogurt, juice and fresh fruit which was very good. The church bells across the street ring on the hour but keeping the a/c fan unit on helps muffle the sound if you are a light sleeper. Bring noise cancelling ear plugs. Overall this is a great find!
- Christina (10/5): - The hosts were very nice and friendly and accommodating. The location is amazing- only a block from downtown. We would definitely stay there again!
- April (10/5): - Kind and welcoming staff
- Debi (8/5): A sweet and special stay - The management is superb, so eager to be helpful! The Inn was super clean and provided beach towels, chairs, in addition to a lovely breakfast, iced water, coffee and tea all day, plus evening cookies There are games and maps in the lobby Extremely good location, close to all downtown as well as the bus terminal
- Jayne (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at The Barnacle Inn. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. Chocolate chip cookies in the foyer when you arrive and an amazing breakfast each morning. Convenient location - you can walk from the ferry, to town, all of the restaurants and shops. Will be back!
- Kim (10/5): A hidden gem - A warm personal greeting on arrival with all pertinent info and key in an envelope. Beautiful breakfast every morning, protein fruit, coffee and warm pastries served on a tray to eat inside or outside. Convenient to activities.
- Anne (10/5): Best B&B in Nantucket! close to town, but quiet - It was clean, comfortable, relaxed and everyone was very friendly. All the guests said hello in passing and it felt very comfortable and safe for a solo woman traveling for business. I stayed extra days too!
- marisa (10/5): - We would definitely stay here again. It was quaint and quiet yet close to shopping and restaurants. Staff was amazing and accommodating!
- Maryam (8/5): Cute boutique hotel - I had a pleasant stay. Very nice and kind staff. Cozy place. Great location.
- James (10/5): - This was an incredible experience!The inn is just lovely, like stepping back to a quieter, more gracious time, with so many extra special touches to make you time there an experience to treasure. Sumaya, her husband Anthony, and the staff of young ladies are so warm and friendly and welcoming it feels like staying with family or dear friends. I was there for my 75th birthday and they made it so special for me, I can’t thank them enough. The breakfast trays they serve are just so charming and filled with delicious treats they delighted my heart….and my stomach! I would highly recommend The Barnacle Inn as the place to stay if you want a true spirit of Nantucket experience!
- Carson (10/5): - We LOVED our stay at the Barnacle Inn! Suzie and Phil are incredible hosts. The inn is very charming. You can't beat the location, the breakfast is amazing and the are lovely gardens surrounding the house. We hope to come back and visit ASAP.
- Brittany (10/5): - Such a pleasant experience! The staff were so nice and accommodating.
- Maria (10/5): - The best B&B we have ever stayed at! This was our first stay in Nantucket and we could not have picked a better accommodation. The Barnacle Inn is very centrally located and the owners are the sweetest! The breakfast is out of this world and well worth taking advantage of! We will be back next summer!
- Mary Margaret (10/5): - Excellent location close to town. Very welcoming.
- Robert (10/5): - Great stay, great people, great breakfast
- Colin (8/5): - beautiful location and decor. slivers of soap difficult to wash with.
- amy Christine (10/5): - This was the cutest bed and breakfast, with the sweetest staff, and my husband and I enjoyed our stay immensely.
- Joe (10/5): Nantucket Jewel - I never leave reviews, however, I'm pausing to let the world know what a great place this is to visit. The owner, Suzie, is a very special individual that makes you feel right at home. Visiting Nantucket and feeling like home rather than a tourist is how I like to roll. Great place, great service, Impeccable hosting!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Well run property with excellent breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Everything was perfect! - Suzi was amazing!! So friendly and thoughtful! Along with everyone else at the inn! We arrived on the island pretty early in the morning and they were kind enough to let us drop off our bags until check-in. The breakfast was delicious every morning and we got a great night sleep every night because the beds are incredibly comfortable! I give them a 10/10 on everything!! Would definitely recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent location. Great hosting
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Family atmosphere, nice to take a nap in the garden without being bothered by noise This was our first time and we will definitely stay here again suzie and Phil were great hosts
- Cynthia (6/5): Small room/share bath - The inn is quaint, and in good condition. We were given the last available room for the weekend we stayed. However, we were not aware that we were to share a bathroom. Further, the window air conditioner was not installed, and the fan in the closet was not usable as it was quite dirty. The owner did take care to get us a new fan immediately. The service was fantastic and everyone there is very pleasant. Just wish we had known what to expect for this very small room with a share bath BEFORE we arrived.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing location and the owners and staff are so accommodating. A must stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very sweet place! Warm and friendly.
- John (8/5): - Lovely lounge area and gardens, great location and friendly staff
- Lisa (10/5): Perfect in town stay - Lovely garden and patio area allowed us to be appropriately distanced. Homemade blueberry muffin was excellent as were afternoon cookies. Bed was comfortable, room was quiet and location was just steps away from Main Street. Will definitely stay again.
- Ron (10/5): - Breakfast in morning and cookies in afternoon. Nice touch
- Allison (10/5): We loved this place! - This was the most delightful place to stay. The whole house and rooms were charming and clean. And we loved the breakfast outside on the patio every morning! It was also a few minutes walk away from everything in town. Bottom line - it was perfect and I would definitely stay here again!!
- Sharlene (10/5): Quiet, clean and quaint...very friendly staff! - We loved our stay at the Barnacle Inn-it was myself and another single female friend that went for a girls getaway. The Inn is very close to everything downtown. Breakfast on the patio was very cute. Check-in and check-out were so easy. All over a great trip and a great place to stay!
- Cait (10/5): - Close to town (1 minute walk), lovely/quiet front yard with multiple sitting areas, front lobby was pretty, clean and open. Loved the fresh cookies every day, breakfast was delicious! Rooms were clean and our bathroom looked like it was just renovated and was super cute. Friendly and warm staff!
- Sarah (10/5): Recent stay - Amazing breakfast, great location.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very small rooms and shared bathroom for an exhorbitant price
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Breakfast was delicious and warm cookies in the evening!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good, basic but great location and service - Amazing location, walkable to all shops, restaurants, and bus stops. On a quiet street, and the Inn, while has a good amount of rooms, is very quiet and peaceful, even during the day. Rooms are small and felt a little cramped, and certainly not king beds. However, it was comfortable enough to sleep, there are AC window units, and bathrooms were always clean. Breakfast service was lovely, coffee was great. There are beach towels, umbrellas and chairs- which was very helpful!
- Linda (4/5): - The best part about staying at the Barnacle in was having breakfast in the charming courtyard that overlooks the stone church across the street. Our room, on the other hand, was extremely disappointing as was the response we received from the staff after we explained our discomfort. We had no idea we would be sharing a half bathroom with the entire floor of guests. The description of the room did not include the fact the there would be no bathroom. While booking, we opted for a more expensive room to avoid the shared bathroom situation, but when we arrived we were shocked to find out the contrary. When we brought it up to management, she apologized and offered no compensation for the falsely advertised room. She did say that IF any other room where available, she could upgrade us, BUT.... This was a very nice hypothetical offer. IF I had a magic carpet, I would take it to work every day BUT... After we checked out, we explained our situation again in an email exchange, but there was no offer to remedy the bad experience. Management assured us that there was no false advertisement and they were an honest family owned business. Hospitality is very simple display of gracious accommodation, The Barnacle Inn left us feeling taken advantage of and a little dirty.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great staff with local tips and amazing garden yard. Highly recommend this place!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Loved the people so friendly and nice, great service and very cute!
- Verified traveler (10/5): A haven of peace and comfort - A wonderful haven of peace and comfort in the middle of Nantucket town. Service was wonderful, the owners are helpful and friendly, the rooms are adorable, the breakfast delicious and classy.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I didn't like having to share one bathroom with 5 (five!) Other rooms, most of them double = 10 other people. I knew I reserved a room with shared bathroom, but NOT with such a bad ratio bathrooms/people using it. This seemed very substandard , given the price range.
- Jennifer (10/5): LOVE THIS PLACE! - I can't give The Barnacle Inn a more unequivocable thumbs up! I was warmly met and encouraged to share anything I might need-- but I didn't need a thing! Staff members introduced themselves warmly, my room was cozy, the house is well-appointed, with lots of subtle, joyful touches-- and SUPER QUIET! Just a pleasure from check-in to check-out!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Next time I will request to be on the first floor. Otherwise it was great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was conveniently located, clean and charming. Breakfast was great and Susie was cute and friendly.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property itself was beautiful, particularly the front gardens. The inn-keepers were gracious, friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was both generous and delicious. My one quibble would be that the room was quite small and non-descript. It had no charm. The walls were a pleasant light green, but the sheets were a dark olive and the bed spread, gray-- an unfortunate choice of colors. There was no clock and no television. It contained a small vase of dead flowers. I was underwhelmed.
- Kathy (8/5): - This was a lovely, quaint, picturesque bed and breakfast. For those who want a true "Nantucket Experience", this is the place to stay. Susie and her staff went out of their way to make sure that all of our needs were met. Just a note, though - there are no TVs in the rooms and depending upon the room you book, you might need to go down the hall and share a bathroom with other guests. Location is a #10.
- Eddie (10/5): - Suzie and Phil and their staff are wonderful, kind hosts, so I recommend The Barnacle Inn 100%! The location is near town, so it's convenient to walk 5 minutes to all restaurants and services. I look forward to returning.
- Michael (10/5): - Great location, super nice people working and staying there. Clean, quiet and close to everything.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Beautiful peaceful place and nice location! Unfortunately, one of our rooms had no air conditioning available which made it extremely uncomfortable to sleep. Bathroom also had no lights and one of the bedrooms was also missing some lights on the ceiling. Hotel staff managed to replace the lights on both rooms but the air condition was not repaired. The other inconvenience, to our surprise, was to find the door of one of rooms open with the key from the concierge on the door! It appears that they cleaned the room but forgot to close the door and remove the key. Luckily, nothing was stolen!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice bed and breakfast and very close to downtown nantucket.
- A (10/5): - Clean, comfortable b&b with relaxed atmosphere just off Main St., run by welcoming owners and staff. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again!
- David (8/5): - Location is great Breakfast excellent Service was also great
- Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible service - We arrived at the hotel early and informed them we had a room, which they confirmed. We asked if we could leave our luggage and use the bathroom. They informed us the bathrooms were for guests and we had to be super quick because the guests wouldn’t have a bathroom..... once we checked in we were emphatically not to order breakfast if we weren’t going to eat it. In order to order it we needed to put our whale on our door. At 10:00 am the next morning we had to rerequest our breakfast even through the whale was clearly on the door and it states breakfast would come between 8:30 and 9:30. The second morning we were told there was a closer bathroom that we wouldn’t had to have gone clear to the other side of the hotel. While I understand it’s a busy weekend on the island the owners need to understand we paid almost $500 for two nights it’s not cheap for what we had and then to treat us like second rate citizens is uncalled for. We won’t be back and don’t recommend you stay there either.
- Melinda (6/5): Picturesque inn near enter of town - Rocky arrival just prior to beginning the season. Our wing of the inn was not heated and the site info made no mention. Staff did a reasonable job of compensating, but only after insistence on our part. Overall, the Barnacle and its crew were quite charming, but I doubt I would return or recommend.
