During the hot, humid days of summer, the cities of the Northeast become places of misery to be escaped from at every chance. Those seeking a romantic escape try their luck at winning one of the few rooms at the Wauwinet on Nantucket. If you're lucky enough to get a room, getting to the Wauwinet will take some effort. First you'll have to take the ferry from Hyannis to Nantucket Town. From there, you'll take a jitney to Nantucket's most remote peninsula, the home of Wauwinet.
Once there, you'll experience the classic romance of Nantucket. Inside the cedar-shingled hotel, twenty-nine rooms are individually decorated in a style that reflects the charm of old New England. For a more private encounter, the Wauwinet offers five cottages.
Just a minute's walk through the dunes brings you to the Atlantic and miles of beach. In contrast to the pounding surf of the Atlantic, swimmers may enjoy the calmness of the bayside beach more. Additionally, the Wauwinet has eighteen-speed mountain bikes for you to use in exploring the island in search of the perfect picnic spot.
At night, you'll enjoy Wauwinet's restaurant, Topper's. One of the best on the island, Topper's serves fine New American cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood dishes.
