Where in the United States is Nantucket?

Nantucket Island and Century House Location

I decided to test the Iphone. Here is a fun capture of Nantucket and Century House location.  It seems so reachable doesn't it? It is. It is also thirty miles out to sea from the coast of Massachusetts. You can get here by boat or by plane, that is if the weather allows it.  Nantucket is unpredictable, and fascinating at the same time.  The destination is one of the most sought after in the world. Weddings, elopements, anniversaries, and all kinds of celebrations happen here. 

I love quotes about Nantucket. One of my favorite is found in the film "Nantucket"  by Ric Burns. You can see it on youtube. I can't ever get enough of this film! You must, must, must see it.  It represents the Nantucket we adore so much: 

"Nantucket is an island...and it is absolutely defined by the sea... you feel the past, you feel a present... they reinvented themselves resort and art colony... a place to come and restore yourself, restore your spirits...it's a place where you can experiment, fail, and try again. You can create yourself, and you can recreate yourself here... Nantucket has always lived on borrowed time, it was created by the sea..."

quote in the film "Nantucket" by Ric Burns

Nantucket Rainy Day

There is always an element of surprise when you are on Nantucket. As dark, rainy and grayish it was, this was just beautiful!  

Nantucket Blue!

Many of you are planning your Nantucket vacation for the Spring, Summer, or Fall. Plan away, and don't forget why Nantucket is a place where you can come and restore you spirits!  

As you are thinking of it, I wanted to remind you of the uniqueness of this island. The colors are always so vibrant, and the light seems to be dancing.  I wanted to capture this amazing view yesterday and share it, since it was so much closeness to perfection!  

The air was crisp. The colors were a vibrant blue, one that no camera would do it justice.  It is beautiful, serene, and so incredibly unforgettable.  I will come back to this view, on a day that the grey and fog sets in. 

This is January, and that's what it looked like. 

If you are looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, come stay. We offer  beautiful room accommodations at our bed and breakfast. Century House is the oldest continuously operating guesthouse on Nantucket Island, and as forbes.com once put it "Top Five Eastern US Summer Inn Destinations."

Cheers!

Nantucket In Conde Nast Traveler's Top 10 Islands in the United States

Nantucket Island was recently voted as the Top 10 Islands in the United States by prestigious Conde Nast Traveler. You can view all ten on the Conde Nast Traveler website. Nantucket Island scored highest in Scenery, friendliness, ambiance and beaches .

True, true, true.

It's so easy to see why.

The scenery is breathtaking.  The summer breezes, the cobblestone streets, the magenta colored roses, the historic whaling homes, the white picket fences and  quaint little paths that you can discover over and over again. The list just goes on an on. If you've been here you know this! If you haven't, you should! Just check out our facebook page once in a while for update amazing photos. I tend to feature quite a few. In the words of the innkeepers Nantucket ..."Everyone is touched in some way being by the sea... . Nantucket is "just like a lover--so familiar and comforting...so wild and unpredictable"

Almost fifty percent of the island is under preservation. The wild nature, the flora, the fauna.  Bike paths The friendliness of the people of Nantucket is also well know. When you are here you feel as if you belong.  Although private, it is welcoming and unintrusive. You can be whomever you wish to be without any strings attached. The people serve you with a smile and are always there to help you. People also remember you if you continue to come. It's a small little intimate island. Once you're here, you'll always want to be here.

The sparkling Nantucket beaches that go on and on and on! There are days it seems you can have the entire beach all to yourself. Come where the blue skies meet the blue ocean!
