From the reviews
Dream beach retreat... The place is awesome! We love its friendly, laid back, family vibe. We love its beach location, gorgeous views and neighboring restaurant, The Galley Beach. Chip and the Staff team are outstanding and run a tight ship! Food was great and all of the amenities make it a very special place.
We stayed at the Cliffside during the first week of June. I booked for my daughter’s 21st birthday celebration we loved our time there. We have been to the island many times since my daughter was born. We rented homes and stayed in town. We retain the magical memories of other trips and this one was no different.
Just had our 2nd stay here last week. We've stayed in one of their smaller rooms once and this past time was in residence 202. No doubt the residences on the beach are the way to go. We had 3 decks, 2 bedrooms, the view was great. Super close to town. Workers are so friendly. Clean.
We found the Cliffside the third year we traveled to Nantucket. Since then, we have not been able to think about staying anywhere else. The location is perfect...one of the very few spots with easy access to the beach and town. The amenities are great.the staff friendly.
Getting married at Cliffside Beach Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
