Martin House Inn

Booked two rooms in June for a lovely August excursion. One of the more affordable inns within easy walking distance to the nice shops and eateries. Do go up on the rooftop even though the ladder is steep. Pretty view. Every room is charming.

I stayed here with a friend on Columbus Day weekend for two nights. We had a small room with two twin beds on the third floor, which is a floor that has only one shared bathroom. The room description online doesn’t say this, so I should have done my research before booking the room. It wouldn’t have been that bad, however there were three older drunk men staying on the third floor that made a mess of the bathroom and we were forced to wait for them to finish stumbling around the inn before we could go in and wash up before bed. The walls are paper thin — you can hear a pin drop in the room next to you. There were quirky sounds throughout the night; bathroom fans and general strange noises coming from the walls that kept me up at night. Not sure if it’s the heating or A/​C unit that made the noise, but it was annoying. The lock on the door isn’t that trustworthy, either. The inn is old so that’s expected, but it would have been nice to have a safe in the room to accommodate the fact that the door latch can be busted open with one full kick to the door.
The service, however, is excellent. I have zero complaints about the staff. Everyone is extremely accommodating and the visiting innkeeper could not have been a more helpful, kind hostess.

My husband and I stayed here 9÷16−9÷19 as a part of our honeymoon. The pricing is reasonable when you compare it to the other lodging options on the island. The new inn keeper, Lisa, is wonderful. The daily breakfast was delicious and she always came out to sit with the guests and learn about their plans for the day and make suggestions if wanted. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. Other than sleeping and breakfast we did not spend much time there. The location is wonderful it is a close walk into the heart of Nantucket but far enough away that you do not have to put up with noisy streets. We would definitely return to the Martin House Inn if we ever find ourselves on the Island again!

A little late review, but this place is simply awesome!
Me and my girlfriend went here ⁶⁄₁ for just the weekend (right before the busy season started) and had a wonderful time here. Service was just excellent, from the whole booking process (thank you Trish!) to the B&B staff. Lisa was very helpful and made great cookies and scones. Great to snag a few before heading out for the day!
The Inn itself was tucked away from the main streets so it’s a mini walk, but it’s very quiet and right next to the church which allows people into the bell tower to enjoy the view. We stayed in room 21, I believe. It had its own bathroom AND outside deck. We were sad that we didn’t get a chance to really use the deck, but it was a nice feature. We loved the room and hopefully we can make it back for a longer stay to really experience it! (note: the room door was a little tricky though — you had to get the lock in just the right position to lock and unlock it when you entered or left, but we got the hang of it quickly — something Martin House will still want to fix)

Great B&b, however my Unilocal profile focuses solely on cookies, so this is what i am referencing here. On our first day here I smelled the tantalizing aroma of fresh baked cookies. My wife and I went downstairs and found a plate of just out of the oven chocolate chip cookies that were placed out for the guests. They were phenomenal!!! Soft, chewy, with melted chocolate, and the perfect amount of salt. I was hooked and will surely be coming back.

What a great place to stay in Nantucket! We had such a great time at this great B&B. Skye, the Innkeeper, is extremely entertaining and had great suggestions for places to go around the island. The breakfast everyone morning was amazing! The best granola and scones I’ve ever had! Oh, and don’t forget about the random homemade cookies they put out throughout the day as a snack. Loved the Martin House Inn!

The innkeeper, Skye is wonderful. She tells you delightful stories and makes you wish she could be your cool aunt who you visit every summer. And she bakes you THE BEST PASTRIES everyday.
The location is perfectly far away enough from the hustle and bustle of town, but close enough that you can walk to everything with ease. A lot of the places in Nantucket are fussy, but this place just feels homey.

Excellent location near the heart of Nantucket’s town center. «Skye», the B&B manager, was a wonderful hostess — she took great pride in showing us around the house. Rates during the summer time were relatively affordable, compared to some of the other B&B’s in the area. My wife and I stayed in a cozy (a.k.a. «small») room (#26) on the 2^nd floor that had a private bath. Rooms on the 3^rd floor have a shared bathroom. We were allowed to check in at 9am because the room was not occupied the day before and we were allowed to leave our bags there the entire day of check out so we could enjoy a beautiful bike ride and beach day before heading back to the mainland.
Breakfast was adequate — continental style. I would have preferred a hot egg dish served, but I knew before-​hand that this was not the case. No outdoor shower, so coming back from the beach could track in some sand with you. We were able to use the outdoor shower at a sister B&B just up the street.
Overall — a very pleasant experience. Would return there.

The best B&B that I have ever stayed at. From the moment we walked into the Historic Home in Nantucket, we were greeted with hot chocolate chip cookies and a personalized welcome note. The staff is amazing, the breakfast was excellent, and the rooms were great which were all uniquely decorated with great furniture and included high quality linens and towels. Recommend sitting on the Patio and playing a game of scrabble with some wine. Who knows, you may even think SNUED is a word!
