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!

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

Checked out the pumpkin trails at Halloween on the Checked out the pumpkin trails at Halloween on the Hill last week. 🎃 
Thank you to the team at Long Hill for hosting us!

A very important heads-up for my fellow mamas before you go: carriages and strollers are not allowed on the trails this year. Definitely plan to babywear or make sure your little ones have on their best walking shoes for the trek. 👟👻

Obligatory picture at the pumpkin wall at Wilson’s Obligatory picture at the pumpkin wall at Wilson’s Farm, because honestly... would I even be a New England content creator if we didn’t stop for a snap in front of this gorgeous autumnal masterpiece? 🎃🍂✨

Just taking in the view with my favorite little feline. We may have our backs to the camera, but I promise looking down at Aurora in her little October cat dress is the only view I really need anyway. Equal parts festive magic and everyday motherhood, wrapped up in the ultimate New England tradition.

Tell me—what is your absolute, non-negotiable fall photo op? 👇🥂

Even locals have rules about Salem in October—most Even locals have rules about Salem in October—mostly, stay far away and let the visitors have their moment. 

But when @DisneyAnimation invites you to check out their Hexed booth on the Salem Common? Well, even the most dedicated homebodies make an exception. And honestly? I am so glad we did.

There is nothing quite like an early Saturday morning stroll through this city when the crisp autumn air hits just right. We loved checking out the festive storefronts (shoutout to the spooky Dunks, though a little reminder to please support our incredible local indie cafes too—we have so many fabulous small businesses serving up life-changing pastries and local roast right here!).

We popped over to the Salem Common to experience the Hexed booth celebrating the upcoming release of this bewitching new Disney film, and it brought all the cozy, cinematic magic to our weekend.

Sometimes breaking your own rules pays off in gold (and a little bit of cinematic sparkle).

Plot twist: The most enchanting spooky season hidd Plot twist: The most enchanting spooky season hidden gem on the North Shore isn’t where you think. 🥀✨

Welcome back to another edition of Kate’s Take! Tucked right inside the charming galleries of the @wenhammuseum lives this permanent, three-foot-tall gothic masterpiece—and it is pure magic.

Lovingly handcrafted over eight years by the late Mrs. Mary Hinckley, this miniature Victorian mansion is an homage to Charles Addams’ iconic cartoons and the beloved 1960s TV series. Every parlor and winding hallway is dripping with macabre details—from Morticia and Gomez lounging in velvet chairs to Uncle Fester, Wednesday, and yes… even Thing lending a helping hand. 🖐️🖤

Skip the madness of crowded tourist streets and step into vintage, spooky nostalgia that’s perfect for both collectors and little dreamers alike.

Have you spotted this North Shore secret yet? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to save this for your October weekend itinerary!

Until next time, I am Fashionably Yours,

Kate

Come, we fly! Straight to Salem, of course. ✨ Sli Come, we fly! Straight to Salem, of course. ✨

Slipping on my chicest boots (and maybe a witch hat, for good measure) to run amok, amok, amok through the most iconic Hocus Pocus filming locations. There’s nothing like seeing the magic of your favorite Halloween movie come to life right here in my own backyard.

Ready to light the Black Flame Candle? Here’s where to find the magic:

🖤 The Ropes Mansion (Allison’s House) // 318 Essex St.
Still waiting on my invitation to the party at the chicest house in town. A girl can dream, can’t she? This colonial mansion is pure Salem glam.

💃 Old Town Hall (The Town Hall Party) // 32 Derby Sq.
You can practically hear Bette Midler casting a spell on the entire town. The site of the most legendary Halloween party in cinematic history. No contest.

🌳 Salem Common (Outdoor Scenes) // North Washington Sq.
The perfect spot for a crisp autumn stroll, plotting how to steal a spellbook from a trio of 17th-century witches. You know, a totally normal Tuesday.

🏫 Phillips Elementary School (Max & Allison’s School) // 84 Essex St.
Where it all began… and where Max learned the hard way not to mess with local legends. We’ve all had those high school moments. (Minus the witches, hopefully).

🏠 Max & Dani’s House // Ocean Avenue
The holy grail! That iconic witchy house with the turret is a private residence, so be a kind human and admire from a distance, darlings. Let’s not bother the current residents, no matter how badly you want to see the talking cat.

🍂 Pioneer Village (Thackery Binx’s Village) // 98 West Ave.
A step back to 1693 where our favorite immortal black cat’s story began. It’s charming, rustic, and just a little bit cursed.

Have you done a Hocus Pocus tour of Salem? It’s the ultimate way to get into the spooky spirit!

My girls are obsessed with @ghostbusters (clearly, they inherited their parents’ impeccable taste in cinema), and Arielle asked if we could visit the actual firehouse on our 2025 NYC trip.

My first thought: “It’s… real?”

Darlings, it is. And it’s iconic.

Hook & Ladder Company 8 @officialghostbustershq in Tribeca is a real, working fire station. So no, you can’t just waltz in and slide down the pole (I asked. Kidding. Mostly.), but you can live out your ‘80s movie-magic dreams, snag that perfect photo, and see the logo on the sidewalk.

It was a total New York first for me—even after living there!—and it was 100% my daughter’s idea.

Honestly, playing tourist in a city you thought you knew, all led by your kids? That’s its own kind of magic. ✨

Who you gonna call? 📞👻

What iconic movie spot should we hit next?
