Clean, quaint and convenient...

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.

Spacious, clean. Great bath/shower area. Nice towels. Great wifi. Living room area was a little musty. King bed was very comfortable except for sheet sliding around plastic bed protector. Overall, a great option for the price.

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.

We loved everything about Centerboard--the silence, the comfort of the room, the large shower (don't forget to sing in the shower), the short distance to everything, including the Steamship Authority. It was simple to move in and out and had the room key waiting for us. We will definitely return on our next trip to Nantucket. Can't wait!!
