What guests think
At Centerboard, guests consistently praise the quiet, walkable location near downtown and the ferry and the simple, small-inn setup, while noting limited amenities and a self-service model rather than full hotel operations.
Most reviews describe the property as very clean, with a few noting dirty carpets or minor upkeep issues. Rooms are liked for comfortable beds, tasteful decor, and excellent showers, though some king layouts feel tight against walls or eaves. A good fit for travelers who value comfort and simplicity over full-service amenities.

We hit the Goldmine… We absolutely love staying at this property in Nantucket right off the main path. It was quiet convenient, beautiful area and the really nice place to stay. Absolutely beautiful house and we enjoyed the front porch!

Property was nice. We stayed in what seemed like a converted basement of the home. I am not complaining about that in any way, though. It was beautiful, and they did an amazing job with the conversion. Everything was very clean, comfortable and cozy.

The property was superb. The building manager, Audrey, was wonderful! The room was quite comfortable and very charming with amenities like a microwave oven, coffee maker and refrigerator. The shower was exquisite! The king-size bed was relaxing. For the height of the tourist season, the facility was QUIET. We felt like we had the place to ourselves, but did see other guests coming and going. Very walkable to town center and the ferry dock; yes, about 10 minutes.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay! Quiet, quaint, in the heart of downtown. We walked everywhere and thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the Inn to decompress. We loved the fire pit out front, front porch, and picnic table in the back. Audrey, the housekeeper, was so kind when we saw her and our room was always sparkling clean and refreshed. Service looks more like an “Airbnb” with door codes and your own check in rather than concierge, but we didn’t mind it at all. The interior decor was beautiful and tasteful, something I didn’t feel like was totally captured in my hunt - it may have recently been updated! I found The Centerboard to be one of the more affordable options on island and it had absolutely everything we needed.

The Centerboard is a beautiful little Inn a short walk from downtown. The staff was friendly and very helpful as we arrived early and were allowed to get into our room at that time. There are not a lot of amenities, but the Centerboard is spotlessly clean and we enjoyed our stay.

I only stayed for one night for a work project, but it worked out great for me. The room was good for me alone and probably the same for a couple. I thought the bathroom/shower were good. I had to call a couple times in order to get instructions for entrance (as there is no staff), but I ultimately did receive it prior to my check in time.

The property was superb. The building manager, Audrey, was wonderful! The room was quite comfortable and very charming with amenities like a microwave oven, coffee maker and refrigerator. The shower was exquisite! The king-size bed was relaxing. For the height of the tourist season, the facility was QUIET. We felt like we had the place to ourselves, but did see other guests coming and going. Very walkable to town center and the ferry dock; yes, about 10 minutes.

Great locations; easy walk to everything: shops, restaurants, beaches, ferry and bus stop. This is a small guest house with 4 rooms, nice sitting area large table in dinning room and small porch. Very clean. One maid present during the day otherwise no staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel, just a short walk to town, which we loved! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and our room had a little kitchen with coffee pods each morning. We will definitely be back!

Excellent location, accommodations, communication and overall stay. We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay at Centerboard for 2 nights while visiting Nantucket for the first time!

My sister and I stayed here for our first stay on the island and we loved it! Very sad we were unable to extend. We got the king deluxe room and it was very spacious, quiet, and clean. Everything we could have hoped for. The hotel is also decently priced for the very pricey area. Bathroom had a lot of space. They provide water bottles, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. Will definitely stay here again if we come back! Room also felt very secluded which we loved but still great walking distance to everything

This was our first time staying at the Centerboard. While there are no staff on property, they were responsive to questions, and the check-in process was easy. Our room was clean and spacious. We would stay here again.
