While the shopping and dining is fantastic, the beautiful beaches are probably the main allure. You’ll find cobblestoned streets downtown (always fun to drive over), plenty of historic mansions converted into bed-and-breakfasts, and boutiques shilling expensive brand names. It features some of the highest concentration of Pre-Civil war structures and oldest operating windmill in U.S. Nantucket is about history and natural beauty.

The atmosphere is relaxed, but polished at the same time. Don't expect to run into the Hollywood crowd - here it's more CEOs, politicians, and billionaire businessmen who have their second homes on the island. This is where the rich come to vacation, and the prices around town reflect that. While the Vineyard boasts some lovely homes, Nantucket's real estate puts it to shame.

Nantucket is an island 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts, next to Martha's Vineyard. The inn does have some limited parking available for guests.

Located on a side street downtown, The Vanessa Noel is walking distance to everything in the area - shops, restaurants, and bars - which is good, because there isn't much parking to be had downtown, especially during the busy summer months.
