The Hungry Whale

The Hungry Whale is a lovely quaint bed and breakfast inn owned by the Sullivan’s, Dennis and Mary Ellen. The Hungry Whale B&B Guest house has been operating since 1969. In 1998, Dennis and Mary Ellen took over the operation from Mary Ellen's mother, Mrs. Johnson and they continue to run the inn with the same charm and warmth. Mrs. Johnson also passed down her recipes for her jellies and jams, cakes and muffins.

Because the Hungry Whale is so centrally located, walking or biking to town is easy! There, you can stroll through the unique shops or sit on one of the many benches outlining the cobblestone streets with an ice cream cone and just "people watch".

Check out the Children's Beach and watch the ferries come and go, while enjoying a cup of homemade New England Clam Chowder. Or, walk down to "Step Beach" with your favorite wine, and sit and watch the most amazing sunset with colors that you can only appreciate on Nantucket Island.

    We call this charming bright room the Yellow Room since most of the furnishings in the room are antique yellow. There is a cozy double bed and a comfortable chair in the room. Enjoy a color TV with cable, and a refrigerator for your convenience, both in the Yellow Room. This has always been a favorite for many people over the years becasue of it's charm. This room is $100 per night, plus tax, and includes a continental breakfast each morning. This room shares a bath with another double room.These are some of the beautiful flowers in our front garden. There are dragonfly decorations throughout the property to represent the memory of my beloved son Chrisopher, who ran the Inn several years and who passed all too soon, in 2006.
    This is the deck which is extended off the side of The Hungry Whale Guest House. It provides a relaxing way to take in some sun or shade, lounge around, eat your lunch, and enjoy the breezy fresh Nantucket air!Our lovely front yard where you can lounge on the hammock or at the table next to our beautiful garden filled with herbs, tomatoes and flowers. Makes for a peaceful and relaxing afternoon!
    This is the lovely Bartlett's Farm (overlooking Cisco Beach), where artists come to paint the beauty of nature. Nantucket Island residents and visitors can go there to get "Barlett's Corn", tomatoes, fresh herbs, homemade pies, cakes, and lots more. They have a beautiful hot house filled with all types of flowers. This is just one of many magnificent and breathtaking things to see on the island.One of the inn keepers, Mary Ellen Sullivan
    One of three lighthouses on the island! Nantucket offers many activities to do for fun! Take a private sailboat ride around the island at sunset, rent mopeds and tour the island, or visit and tour the Nantucket Vinyard!
