Walking distance from the ferry. We stayed one night in the off season. King size bed was comfortable. Shower and tub were in the room. Breakfast was continental. The banana bread and coffee were good. They definitely had a variety of breakfast options. We ate at Brotherhood of Thieves and Surfside. Dinner at Brotherhood was fantastic and also the live music upstairs, all within walking distance. Gayle has the best home made cookies too!

Loved that the room had a private bathroom and that the breakfast area was on the same floor. Lots of good options to eat, also. The decor was adorable while keeping with a "Nantucket" feel.

We loved the Periwinkle Inn! It far exceeded our expectations. Everything was easy to book and the owner was very responsive. The inn is welcoming, clean and comfortable. The food and beverages were very appreciated. The location was excellent and it was easy to walk everywhere in town. Our new favorite place!

Perfect location near both ferry terminals on a wonderful street. Walk to anywhere in town. Room was a little tight, but there are comfortable sitting areas inside and out.

This was the sweetest and most convenient b&b!!! I booked in a hurry with little expectations and was absolutely ecstatic when I arrived to such a cozy, cute homey stay. There were fresh baked cookies and jazz playing every night! It was also so private, I never even encountered another person the whole stay even though I know they were fully booked. You check in and out on your own and come and go as you please. It was truly so lovely, I can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!!!!
