The Wauwinet- Nantucket, MA

I love staying at hotels. I frequently plan trips around them, and maintain a long list of properties I would like to visit in the future. Not all hotels live up to my expectations of course, but that disappointment is far outweighed by the sheer joy of staying at a truly extraordinary property. The Wauwinet is that kind of place. 

Full disclosure, we stayed at The Wauwinet’s sister property The White Elephant, and just ventured over for the day. While the later is a very nice hotel, I preferred the relaxed vibe and natural beauty of The Wauwinet. I could lounge on it’s dreamy lawn overlooking Nantucket Bay for hours. The stunning natural beauty of the location promotes the kind of vacation where you walk along the beach, ride bicycles and daydream- which people have been doing here since 1875. 

I am actually daydreaming now of a return visit to this property, should I be fortunate enough to find myself on Nantucket Island again. While its somewhat isolated location may not be for everyone, for those who want to unplug and unwind, you may never want to leave.
