Greetings! The island is waking up from it's winter hibernation! We have daffodils starting to bloom and many other flowers that are breaking the surface with the warmth of the spring sun shining down on them. We have sprung forward with the time change and longer days are here!
As you take a leisurely bike ride or a long walk through town you will notice landscapers and caretakers that are starting to get busy as we approach April. Stores and restaurants that close for the winter months are also starting to re-open.
We are seeing an increase in inquiries for the upcoming season and have been working with our lodging and business partners to make your trip to Nantucket as seamless as possible.
We look forward to talking with you about your Nantucket plans and helping you find the perfect lodging for your visit.
