Nantucket Island is our favorite place to visit. We bike ride via the bike trails, which are always breezy. We swim at Jetties Beach, but recently we found a more private beach which was suggested by the innkeepers at the Century House. White Elephant is beautiful and we used to stay there. We now love the idea of a bed-and-breakfast, close to downtown and to the water. We stay at the Century House every summer nowadays because it is walking distance to everything and we can sit outside and enjoy the weather in the evening before going to dinner. We love eating at Le Languedoc, The Pearl, American Seasons and Water Street (an organic food) restaurant also suggested. One of the best seafood menu is 21 Federal. Those are among our favorites. Sandwiches at Something Natural are the best. They are located on Cliff Road just above the Harbor House, and Century House. I come with my husband to enjoy the island without having to worry about a hectic life which is why we stay on Cliff Road, which is in a historic district. This is the location we found to be the most quiet, elegant and convenient. We love to walk downtown on different streets as well. We try to take a different path each time and marvel at the beautiful flowers.
We have not found another destination more beautiful and relaxing anywhere else. Martha's Vineyard is close to Nantucket, however, it's becoming more commercial each year. We love the originality of Nantucket... and can't wait to return and stay at the Century House.
