Review of The Nantucket Hotel: A Family’s Perfect Summer Getaway

Nantucket Island, MA

July 24, 2024

The Nantucket Hotel isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an immersive experience that transports you to a world of relaxed elegance and personalized luxury the moment you step into its lobby, adorned with dark wood, rattan, and rich-hued furniture.

From the moment we were greeted at the ferry and whisked away with our luggage, to the final warm farewells from the staff who felt like family, our stay was nothing short of exceptional.

A Room Fit for Royalty (and Kids!)

Our spacious room felt like a luxurious retreat. The spa-like bathroom, complete with a separate shower and tub, was stocked with thoughtful amenities like makeup remover cloths and q-tips. Plush towels and comfy robes added to the pampering experience.

The kitchenette proved invaluable for our family, and the hotel even provided a pack-and-play and bed rail for our little ones. We were especially grateful for the delicious charcuterie board and bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us upon arrival – a welcome treat after our travels.

The separate bedroom with its king bed and abundant closet space was a dream!Ā

Our daughter, Arielle, was delighted with her own little turret, where she set up her “princess bed.” It was a magical touch that made her feel truly special.

Amenities Galore: Pools, Spa, and a Kids Club

The Nantucket Hotel truly caters to families. The kid-friendly pool was a lifesaver, allowing our girls to splash around safely while we relaxed nearby. We appreciated the option of the adults-only pool, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere for everyone.

Poolside drinks and light bites were a delightful indulgence, and the spa and workout facilities beckoned for a future visit.

The Kids Club was a hit with Arielle. She loved spending time with other children, doing crafts, visiting the local aquarium, and riding on the hotel’s antique fire truck. 

Speaking of the antique fire truck, we highly recommend booking a ride! It’s a fun way to see the island, and Omar, our driver, was so friendly and even snapped a family photo for us – instant holiday card material!

Culinary Delights and Charming Extras

The Monday night clambake, complete with lobster and Nicole’s enchanting singing, was a memorable experience that brought the hotel community together. The game room, stocked with classic board games, offered a fun and relaxing way to unwind. We would often stop in the lobby for complimentary cookies and cool lemonade before heading into the game room for a round of Close the Box.

The hotel’s gift shop, filled with charming mementos, and its prime location near Nantucket’s main attractions added to the overall convenience and enjoyment of our stay.

Exceptional Service & Kind People: The Heart of The Nantucket Hotel

Above all, it was the staff that truly set The Nantucket Hotel apart. Carlos and Fulya Castrello, the General Manager and his wife, exude warmth and charm, making every guest feel like a VIP. Steve and Kate in the concierge department went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless, and Nicole, with her friendly smile and beautiful voice, made us feel right at home.

A Return Trip Is a Must

We can’t wait to return to The Nantucket Hotel. It’s a place where every detail is carefully considered, creating a truly magical experience for families and couples alike. From the moment we stepped into the lobby until the moment we reluctantly departed, we were enveloped in a world of comfort, luxury, and genuine hospitality. The Nantucket Hotel is a true gem, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable vacation.

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

When your daughter announces her official career p When your daughter announces her official career path is to become a butterfly, you have to respect the ambition. šŸ¦‹āœØ

Naturally, we had to lean in, which brought us to my latest obsession: Glass in Flight at the New England Botanic Garden. Imagine walking into a lush wonderland where 30 larger-than-life stained glass and steel sculptures are casually stealing the show. Artist Alex Heveri crafted these massive creatures—hummingbirds, dragonflies, beetles—and they shimmer in the sunlight like oversized jewels dropped into the blooms.

The absolute showstopper was finding this bench framed by massive, stained-glass wings. Watching Aurora sit there, living out her very chic metamorphosis... it was one of those perfect, dream-come-true motherhood moments. The perfect mix of brilliant color, wild scale, and the kind of magic you actually want to pack the stroller for.

Exhibit is open until November 1st!

Spilled espresso and everyday chaos? Not tonight. Spilled espresso and everyday chaos? Not tonight. Tonight, we do tulle and Tchaikovsky. 🩰✨

Took one of my favorite little sidekicks to see the @BostonBallet’s Sleeping Beauty, and the energy was absolutely electric. Watching her wait for Princess Aurora to take the stage—especially when she shares a name with her big sister—was pure, unfiltered magic.

There is something fiercely beautiful about slipping into a velvet theater seat and watching the world light up entirely through your kid’s eyes. It’s a sharp reminder that while motherhood is wonderfully wild, it’s also the greatest excuse to get dressed up, chase the sparkle, and live a little beautifully.

Never skimp on the magic, darlings. Put on the heels, grab your mini, and go book the tickets.  And use my code, FASHIONKATE45 to grab them for $45!šŸ„‚šŸ‘‘

Tell me—what was the ultimate fairy tale that had you captivated when you were little? Let’s hear it in the comments! šŸ‘‡

She woke up to seven of her best stuffed friends (with her favorite lovie, Miso, front and center, obviously) waiting with balloons at her bedroom door. Naturally, this evolved into an impromptu plushie movie theater in mom and dad’s bed while she caught up on her YouTube queue.

After a quick cameo at school for a craft, I staged an early breakout for the truly important things in life: mini-golf and a highly curated, five-star lunch at McDonald’s. šŸŸāœØ We rounded out the afternoon doing what she loves most—a serious art supply haul, tackling some Lego builds, hitting the park, and tearing into presents. She also got to watch the first episode of season 2 of one of her favorite shows, @castleimpossible, while building the first of her @crunchlabs boxes which was her birthday gifts from us. She’s officially obsessed! 

But the absolute best part? The universe really showed up for her. The rose bush we dedicated to Nunny miraculously bloomed yesterday, and we spotted our very first butterfly of the season—Aunt Betty’s symbol. Feeling so incredibly lucky to have our angels looking out for my little ones. šŸ¤

The birthday marathon will carry on through the weekend, but the countdown continues: Aurora turns 3 in exactly 11 days!

Bring on the cake. šŸ„‚āœØ

Seven years in 90 seconds. ✨ The beginning of my true purpose summed up in a minute and a half. 

To say she flipped my entire world upside down would be the understatement of the decade. 

Arielle, you’ve grown up in the absolute blink of an eye. While these little flashes of time show the highlights, they couldn’t possibly hold everything I want to express to the sweet, spirited soul who truly saved me.

You are my mini best friend, my ultimate adventure pal, and the absolute best big sister to Aurora. You have this undeniable, unapologetic magic about you—the kind of girl who literally turns the world on with her smile, bringing sparkle, a little bit of sass, and pure joy everywhere you go.

Motherhood is the wildest ride, but loving you is the most beautiful adventure I’ve ever been on. Here’s to the girl who made me a mama, who keeps me perfectly on my toes, and who makes every single day infinitely brighter.

Bring on the confetti (and maybe a champagne coupe for me šŸ„‚)—we have a seven-year-old to celebrate!

Happy 7th Birthday, my darling Arielle. 🩷

Looking at these maternity photos, it’s wild to th Looking at these maternity photos, it’s wild to think about where my head was exactly seven years ago today. I knew what was coming tomorrow—the hospital bags were packed, the C-section was scheduled, and I knew I was finally going to hold my baby girl.

But what I didn’t know—what I couldn’t possibly understand until I was in it—was how much I was going to change. How in just 24 hours, my entire universe would flip on its axis.

I didn’t just meet my daughter the next day. I collided with a completely new version of myself. I learned that motherhood isn’t just a title you add to your resume; it becomes your entire essence. If I’m being completely unfiltered, there were times in those early days where I lost myself entirely—where I felt like I was drowning in the sheer weight of this new reality. But stepping into this era has been, hands down, the most rewarding role of my life.

Tomorrow, we celebrate Arielle turning seven. The sweet girl who made me a mom.

I already know the waterworks are coming, but I’m going to have to do some serious strategic blinking—she is my little empath, and if I start crying, we’ll both be a mess! 🄹

I wish I could bottle up this exact season. The one where she still thinks I’m the ultimate VIP guest and genuinely just wants to spend her birthday by my side. Since I can’t freeze time, I’m just going to soak up every single sparkly, emotional, beautiful second of it.

Happy birthday eve to my sweet Arielle. Let the celebrations begin. āœØšŸ„‚

There’s a palpable shift in the air this weekend, There’s a palpable shift in the air this weekend, and it’s not just the Memorial Day kickoff to summer or the school year winding down. It’s the realization that my first baby is turning seven this week.

Watching Arielle read to Aurora just hits differently today. We always joked that she was an old soul—a miniature version of our Nunny, her namesake (Marie is Arielle’s middle name) who passed in 2024 at 102 — but suddenly, my little girl is undeniably growing up. 

Every year around this time, the realization that time is stealing away another chapter knocks the breath right out of me.

I used to think my fast-paced NYC era was what defined and changed me the most. 

I was wrong. 

Trading that city grit for the absolute wild ride of motherhood was the ultimate plot twist, and she was my absolute game changer.

Motherhood is essentially walking around with your heart outside your body, watching it learn to read, evolve, and step fiercely into its own independence. 

It makes your chest swell with unimaginable pride and shatter just a little bit, all at the exact same time. It’s the most beautiful, brutal reminder that we are all just living on borrowed time.

So this weekend, I’m leaving the to-do list undone, pouring something sparkling, and squeezing every single drop out of this season with my little girls because, and for this is an Easter egg for one special guy who I hope will get this reference, I don’t wanna miss a thing. āœØšŸ„‚
