Booking Tips for Nantucket Accommodations

  • Book early for summer: Peak season (June-August) accommodations can sell out months in advance, especially for holiday weekends.
  • Consider shoulder season: May and September-October offer lower rates, fewer crowds, and beautiful weather.
  • Check cancellation policies: Many properties have strict policies during peak season - read the fine print before booking.
  • Location matters: Downtown is walkable but busy; 'Sconset and Madaket offer peace but require transportation.
  • Minimum stays: Many properties require 3-7 night minimums during summer, especially for rentals.
  • Ask about parking: If bringing a car, confirm parking availability - it's limited at many downtown properties.
