Spotless room, very hot shower and luxury shampoo and lotion. The location was terrific and only 3 blocks from the hustle and bustle of the town’s center activity. Staff very friendly. Living area perfect for reading.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Centerboard. There is no onsite management as it’s a small property with just a handful of rooms, but staff was easily reachable via text. I would definitely stay here again!

I’ve been coming to Nantucket for decades, and this is literally the perfect location was wonderful and accommodated my early arrival and late ferry by allowing us to leave our small bags in the drawing room. Will definitely return and have recommended to many.

The Centerboard is in a good location and is kept meticulously by Audrey was very pleasant and helpful during our stay. We were disappointed that there was no breakfast, not even a muffin (after all, it is a B&B). Otherwise, we were very happy.

I would describe this as sort of a hybrid between a hotel and an Air B & B which initially threw me because we are usually hotel folks.The staff responds efficiently and quickly to any request or question that you have. It is a terrific location and very charmingly renovated. There is a "pantry" available to guest 24/7 with tea and coffee as well as a lovely sitting area. Molton Brown bath amenities!

Great hotel, just a short walk to town, which we loved! Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and our room had a little kitchen with coffee pods each morning. We will definitely be back!

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.

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!!
