Millpond Inn

I usually vacation in Nantucket in the summer for a week every year, and for the last five of them I’ve stayed at Millpond Inn. I honestly don’t know what’s taken me so long to write a review? I really like staying at Millpond because I get the authentic Nantucket island experience. The décor at Millpond is charming, a contemporary nautical theme, and the actual set up in the apartment is super cozy. There’s a master bedroom and the guest bedroom can accommodate up to three, great for a friends getaway or a family trip. I have a full kitchen, fridge and television in my apartment so it really feels like home for the week! It also doesn’t hurt that it’s one of the most economical options in terms of vacation rentals on the island. Millpond is also conveniently located, just 1 mile from the beach and a five-​minute stroll to downtown. Pretty much everything is within walking distance, but if you don’t feel like exploring on foot they also have bikes that you can borrow for free on a first come first serve basis!
The Saad family owns the complex, and they are extremely warm and gracious! Any time I need anything they are quick to accommodate and happy to do so. They are also true natives so don’t hesitate to pick their brains for local insight. They know the best restaurants, which beaches are too crowded, best grocery stores etc. I also adore the fact that each time I stay at Millpond there’s a complimentary bottle of champagne and Nantucket chocolate covered cranberries waiting for me in my apartment… so amazing! If you mention this when you are booking they will be sure to offer you the same VIP treatment. So if you’re planning a vacation to the Grey Lady in the near future Millpond Inn is definitely the way to go hands down, both value and comfort wise. It’s a hidden gem!
