“Excellent location in the heart of town on the water amongst the docks and boats.”

From the reviews
Prime location, walk to everything, waterfront cottages. Can’t beat the location. Staff are warm and friendly. Not very quiet or private after dusk, if that’s what you require. Cottages are we’ll equipped but not up to date in decor and fittings, if that’s important to you. It’s definitely a great once-experience.
We stayed in the pawana cottage and it was so cozy and cute! The location was perfect, less than a minute walk from the ferry and close to a lot of great restaurants. The staff was friendly and accommodating and they truly are pet friendly.
Great location. Staff is really helpful and does an excellent job to accommodate you during your visit. Great place to bring your dog. To share a nice detail, they left us health contact information for our dog, which included contacts for dog walkers, the closest vet, groomers, and pet stores. This was a nice touch.
Insane location!!! Walkable to everything downtown. We LOVED our time here in our little cottage and can’t wait to go back. Super super friendly and helpful staff as well. Price was reasonable for us but we went in April- it will definitely go up during the season. Really loved this place!
Getting married at The Cottages at Nantucket Boat Basin
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.
