Rooms & Suites: 30 Rooms & Suites
Tucked in right next door to a wildlife sanctuary, The Wauwinet is a Nantucket luxury resort and a sanctuary itself.
It is white lawn chairs. It is Herman Melville on the bedstand. It is a glass of brandy by a crackling, late autumn fire. It is the diversity of spring color after the monochrome of winter. It is an urge to walk barefoot on the beach wearing your best dress. It is total privacy. It is a group of congenial friends. it is a vacation for all of your senses. And the gracious personal hospitality you would expect at the seaside estate of close friends.
