Life House, Nantucket offers a charming boutique vibe and convenient location with friendly staff, but several reviews note small or awkward rooms, steep stairs and accessibility issues, temperamental air conditioning, and inconsistent check in or limited on site reception.
Guests like the decor and cozy feel, though some bathrooms are outside the room, bed comfort varies, noise can carry, and a few report weak water pressure or poor drainage. Amenities seem limited; several mention no on site or complimentary bikes, while the garden is appreciated. Expect a characterful, central stay with tradeoffs typical of a historic house.

I’ll start with the good: we were able to book this room in Nantucket about 6 weeks out. There’s cute furniture in the hotel and the overall vibe is in line with pictures. When we arrived, there’s no person to greet you and you check in on an iPad. We met a lady who may have been house manager or house keeping or some random woman - not sure, never had an introduction. The room was small but we expected that. The furniture was too big for the room and poorly thought out. Why was there no luggage rack? It’s a small room so having our luggage on floor was annoying. There’s no phone in the room and the number that was given was for the main life house so we had no way of contacting someone for help. We wanted to see if we could upgrade room but not an option. We were told there was no bottled water in the hotel. How is this possible?! The bathroom smelled like mildew. The air conditioning was loud and barely kept the room cool. Overall there was no service. They offer a golden hour drink, or so they said but we asked about it to the lady downstairs and were given a weird look then warm wine in a coup. If you’re coming to Nantucket, try another hotel in this price point.

Overall decent stay at the Life House Nantucket. We were placed in a room on the main floor near the entrance which was especially noisy and were woken up every day by other guests (especially someone's screaming baby). The interior design was cool and the bed was comfy but the noise and lack of on-site complimentary bikes (they're $35/day each) means I will likely not be coming back.

While this property was clean, and the area convenient, there were many downfalls. As it was originally a house, these rooms are quite small and there are accessibility issues. As well, it is quite noisy with some of the rooms having bathrooms outside their rooms and people going back and forth. Our air conditioning did not work properly the whole trip, and no one was successful at fixing it. The staff, while pleasant, must have been new, and knew relatively nothing about the area. If you are looking for more of a hotel experience, this is not your accommodation. I would not stay here again.

The room was very small, hard to move around, no folding or luggage stand, so we had to put our carry on on the floor and the worst part was the bathroom. Water will not drain properly, so I had to wait a while and let it drain every couple minutes while taking a shower.

I rated it “just ok” because it Just felt like the property owners try to get the most bang from our buck. Bed mattress was broken on one side, offer coffee and tea but literally not even Splenda Ect. Smell coming in was VERY pungent. It literally was JUST OK, nothing special

The Life House was a very quiet, charming and friendly spot. Very much so a boutique hotel feel. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was the room we stayed in on the 3rd floor. Being over 6 feet, the room had slanted ceilings and a very tight doorway. It was very tight and not spacious unlike some of the other rooms I saw. Would definitely stay again but would make sure I don’t stay in that room again.

They didn’t even have toothpaste which we forgot so had to instacart at 9:30pm for 28$. When we tried to check in no one was around and we waited for over 10 minutes for someone to give us a key. The air conditioning cycled on and off all night and was as loud as a plane taking off when it would turn on. The bed was so soft and was slanted with dips in it which made sleeping very difficult. No room in the bathroom for any toiliteries. Had to crane neck to watch the television and the Apple TV was unusable because apps needed updates you couldn’t update the apps.

Nice location and Allison the host was wonderful. It is an older house though lots of character and the room was very nice. The refrigerator needs to be replaced and the ice box was frosted over. Otherwise it was a very nice stay.

While this property was clean, and the area convenient, there were many downfalls. As it was originally a house, these rooms are quite small and there are accessibility issues. As well, it is quite noisy with some of the rooms having bathrooms outside their rooms and people going back and forth. Our air conditioning did not work properly the whole trip, and no one was successful at fixing it. The staff, while pleasant, must have been new, and knew relatively nothing about the area. If you are looking for more of a hotel experience, this is not your accommodation. I would not stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Life House! The room was clean and well decorated and the bed and pillows were so comfortable! The staff was always helpful and super friendly. Chris helped us with recommendations and checked in with us often to make sure we had what we needed. The breakfast is also delicious! A great place to stay in Nantucket!

I’ll start with the good: we were able to book this room in Nantucket about 6 weeks out. There’s cute furniture in the hotel and the overall vibe is in line with pictures. When we arrived, there’s no person to greet you and you check in on an iPad. We met a lady who may have been house manager or house keeping or some random woman - not sure, never had an introduction. The room was small but we expected that. The furniture was too big for the room and poorly thought out. Why was there no luggage rack? It’s a small room so having our luggage on floor was annoying. There’s no phone in the room and the number that was given was for the main life house so we had no way of contacting someone for help. We wanted to see if we could upgrade room but not an option. We were told there was no bottled water in the hotel. How is this possible?! The bathroom smelled like mildew. The air conditioning was loud and barely kept the room cool. Overall there was no service. They offer a golden hour drink, or so they said but we asked about it to the lady downstairs and were given a weird look then warm wine in a coup. If you’re coming to Nantucket, try another hotel in this price point.

I rated it “just ok” because it Just felt like the property owners try to get the most bang from our buck. Bed mattress was broken on one side, offer coffee and tea but literally not even Splenda Ect. Smell coming in was VERY pungent. It literally was JUST OK, nothing special

Room was very clean and staff was helpful from beginning to end. Stayed in room 304 which was a top floor room. Second day in there was a bunch of stink bugs falling from ceiling onto the bed . I know they are harmless. Just annoying little creatures

The Life House was a very quiet, charming and friendly spot. Very much so a boutique hotel feel. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was the room we stayed in on the 3rd floor. Being over 6 feet, the room had slanted ceilings and a very tight doorway. It was very tight and not spacious unlike some of the other rooms I saw. Would definitely stay again but would make sure I don’t stay in that room again.
