Experience elegance, romance and warm hospitality at our gracious Nantucket Bed and Breakfast. Formerly a Sea Captain's home, the historic Victorian mansion was spectacularly renovated by new owners Paul and Lauri Benk in the Spring of 2012 and is now the embodiment of luxury! This wonderful Nantucket B&B - one of the highest-rated on the island - is located just a few minutes walk from the ferry, delightful shops, fine dining, art galleries, rambling bicycle and paths and historical museums. Each guest room has been completely redecorated to envelope you in comfort and luxury; the new beds have fine linens from Matouk and Serena & Lily, private baths are elegantly appointed with Frette towels and robes and Malin+Goetz spa products. Soundproofed walls ensure privacy. The new owners have also brought technology to our Nantucket, MA bed and breakfast - iPads are available for guests to use during their stay and there is a new business station with an Mac computer and printer located off our Gathering Room for guests to use at their convenience. Innkeeper extraordinaire Lyn Francis remains at the helm ensuring that your stay on Nantucket is absolutely wonderful. After a fun-filled day on the island, enjoy complimentary afternoon tea or wine & cheese. Relax with your drinks on our front porch or soak up some sun in an Adirondack chair in the yard.

From the moment we walked into this lovely Victorian home, we were treated like royalty, or even better, as the very favorite members of the family. Our innkeeper, Lyn, was warm, welcoming, and so very knowledgeable about the island. Reservations were swiftly made, suggestions for activities were spot on, and anything we needed for our adventures was swiftly provided. I haven't even mentioned the most amazing part of our stay, the breakfasts and homemade treats at teatime were absolutely out of this world! Lyn is a fabulous cook and takes such pride in providing a healthy, satisfying, and delicious start to her guests' day. We highly recommend this gem of an inn.

5 out of 5I can't say enough about my stay at the Centerboard Inn nn. Our accomodations were lovely, clean and updated and the location could not have been better. We were a short walk from restaurants, the beach, shops and history. Lyn, our innkeeper was gracious and helpful and an outstanding baker.

Lyn, the innkeeper could not have been more gracious and helpful. Our room was lovely, the location was a short walk from excellent restaurants, shops and the beach. Breakfasts were a feast of baked goods and fresh fruit. The porch and reception areas are comfortable and welcoming and we enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Centerboard Inn in Nantucket.
5 out of 5A gem!
July 07, 2011
The Centerboard Guesthouse is a perfect, quaint little inn on a quintessential Nantucket street... It has the cozy, historical charm you likely are looking for during a visit to such a lovely island... It was exactly what we were looking for, and were quite pleased with our luck in finding availability here on a holiday weekend... The guesthouse itself is charming on its own, but when you add the lovely innkeeper, Lyn, into the picture, the appeal is that much greater! Lyn is an absolute doll and was such a treat to bump into on our various trips in and out throughout the day. She's warm, gracious, and went out of her way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and were comfortable. Whether it's helping you make dinner reservations, loaning you beach chairs and towels, or letting you keep your overbearing suitcases under her watch before or after your check-in/out, she was incredibly hospitable to us throughout our stay.... and let's not forget to mention the delicious fresh-baked scones, cookies, and pastries morning and afternoon with tea! It was a pleasure staying at the Centerboard Guesthouse and Lyn makes it her business that each passerby feels at home during their Nantucket experience.... Innkeepers like Lyn are few and far between and I would highly recommend a visit to this gem! I will look forward to visiting again!
4.6 out of 5Wonderful stay
July 06, 2011
Centerboard Guest House is a fantastic place to stay on Nantucket. It is just a quick walk to Main Street, the waterfront, shops and restaurants, yet is is removed from a lot of the noise and congestion of downtown. Lyn was a marvelous host, from her delicious baked goods and granola, to even adding extra foam padding to the sofa bed mattress to increase comfort! My back sure appreciated that! Thanks Lyn!! She also had lots of good suggestions for activities on the island. All in all, it was a great place to stay. Our only regret was that the weekend went too fast! Would definitely stay here again.
4.8 out of 5Great vacation spot conveniently located
June 26, 2011
Embarking on our first family vacation with our 15 month year old son had us a little weary at first. However from the moment we arrived at Centerboard our minds were put at ease. Arriving on the last ferry on a Sunday it took us about a 3 minutes ride to get to this wonderful B&B. We were immediately greeted with warm hospitality by Lyn and established ourselves in Suite 1. So happy with our choice in rooms given that we have such an active little boy who likes to run around and explore, because this 2 room suite has plenty of space as the only room on the first floor. As for our stay on the island, every morning we awoke quite early given the rising habits of our little one and were off to explore the island by foot. Centerboard is conveniently located just at the edge of all the shopping and restaurants. It was just a quick walk to two lovely beaches, the kids park, downtown views and lovely walks checking out the beautiful Nantucket homes. The morning breakfast was delicious every morning with scrumptious baked items and for our little man Lyn made daily hard boiled eggs since he absolutely loves egg whites. Every afternoon we also we able to enjoy tea time with fresh baked cookies after our son's afternoon nap. Lyn was also very knowledgeable about activities to do on the island even though she has only been there a few months. We would definitely stay at Centerboard again and would highly recommend it to anyone with or without little ones in their party.
