Barnacle Inn is very well located right in town, has a very charming courtyard as well as living room area, which makes coming back very welcoming. Most of the rooms have bathrooms, which looked lovely. I did have a single room with only a sink, but it turned out to be just fine, the shared shower was great as I like the indoor/outdoor feel. The staff was amazingly kind and fun. if you’re looking for an authentic Nantucket feel this is a great place to stay.

We had such a great stay at The Barnacle Inn last weekend! Suzie & her team have been so helpful & welcoming. We loved our 2 bedroom w/ jack & jill bathroom & found the twin & 2 king sized beds so incredibly comfortable for our group of 5 girlfriends (I personally loved the soft & cozy bedding)! We also enjoyed that it is just a 2 min walk from main street & right next to Ships Inn, which was our favorite dinner of the trip! We also loved coming back to fresh baked cookies that were the perfect chewy & crunchy texture as well as waking up to a delicious breakfast! We can’t forget NayNay who is the sweetest doggo! We are so happy Suzie got a nice picture of us with NayNay in front of the beautiful property before we left! Definitely recommend The Barnacle Inn to anyone wanting a more homey & personal experience!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was the best place we ever could have chosen. Suzie is the best, she was extremely kind, helpful, and really cares about her guests. The breakfast was always fresh and it was delicious, every single person on the staff was friendly and kind. I can not recommend the Barnacle Inn enough!

The barnacle inn is a great location in town. The owners are nice and friendly! The Inn is comfortable and the rooms are a bit on the smaller side. We would have appreciated more fresh, updated amenities and furnishings in our room. It’s hard to beat the location of the Barnacle Inn!

Had a wonderful stay for two nights at this B & B! The owners were so kind and the location was perfect. The only room left for the time we were there had us sharing a bathroom - however we never had any issues with the bathroom being busy/dirty. Our room was next to the bathroom - and we never even heard noise from it. Would stay here again 1000%!

Our host Susie could not have been more sweet! The Barnacle Inn is cozy and makes you feel at home. Kind of makes you feel like you’re visiting family that has a beautiful house in Nantucket. We found it to be quiet and soundproofed. Warm cookies in the afternoon is a nice touch! Open windows in our room, letting a nice cool breeze. Although air-conditioning is available. The location is perfect. Just a short walk to downtown plenty of restaurants and shopping. Not far from where the wave. (Public transportation) Drops you off and pick you up To visit many sites on the island.

We absolutely loved staying at the barnacle inn. The owners and their sweet puppy were so kind and helpful with local recommendations. The afternoon cookies were delicious and the breakfast was top notch with something for everyone in our group ranging from a 5yr old to adults. What was a really nice thing was that they had beach chairs, coolers and picnic baskets available to borrow for our excursions too. Loved the nautical decor everywhere. Highly recommend staying here in the future. We will certainly be back.
