we did a Father - Daughter weekend and few weeks ago and stayed at 27 Fair street summer house location.the room was a nice size for the two of us, and had a roll out couch for my daughter, and a king bed for me. it was clean, well lit, and the TV got all the movie channels. the staff was very nice, and found two beach chairs for us. nice thing is the free shuttle to the Summer house in Sconset, we used the pool out there one day. Love the free breakfast in the morning, fresh warm blueberry muffins, and fresh cut fruit. Can't say enough about this location, 4 minute walk to town, and reasonable prices for the location, and services. We would stay again and again

We (wife and 3 year old) stayed for 3 nights in the Magnolia, which had a separate entrance and was sort of a duplex. It had a functional kitchen and privacy. Though one bedroom is near the kitchen area, I didn't find it a problem. The window AC units worked very well and kept us cool. The Summer House is not a modern place and is a little worn throughout but it was authentic Nantucket. The breakfast was simple (fruit, muffins, coffee, juices, etc.) but good. The staff was excellent and very friendly. I saw negative reviews, but I suspect reviewers have never stayed in Nantucket, or omitted the fact that the places they say are better are also significantly more expensive. Nantucket is expensive and Summer House is a good place to stay if you are looking for something cheaper than White El

We booked a confirmed reservation for 29 Fair Street in March 2021 for September 2021. We arrived in Boston the day before our Cape Air flight to Nantucket and decided to call The Summer House to see if we might fly over a day early. When I tried to confirm our reservation at 29 Fair Street, I was told they are no longer affiliated with that property! ||||After some fast Googling we found 27 and 29 Fair Street had been sold back in April and closed and we were never notified! We managed to track down the new ownership group and was told the properties were sold with no reservations on the books, but we were told we were now the 4th to inquire. Apparently, others back in July had also contacted the new ownership group.||||We kept calling the The Summer House reservation desk and told "the i

I stayed in the Hydrangea Room this past weekend. The room in general is just old, and the "living room" small. On the website it looks huge. The floors, totally crooked!! The bathroom situation was weird with 2 doors that barely closed so no privacy. The backyard would have been really cute, except you are watching and listening to the kitchen staff working. Its just a weird set up. Breakfast was decent, but there was a big fight between the workers which made for an awkward situation. I asked for the WiFi password (not posted anywhere) and felt like I was bothering the staff. The only good thing about this hotel is the free shuttle to the beach/pool which was lovely. Otherwise be prepared for a very no-frills, weird setup.

The inn was not well taken care of. Furniture appeared broken, mattress was uncomfortable and ancient, lady in charge was more interested in her cell phone than in greeting guests, and the bathroom in the lobby (actually in the restaurant next door also owned by the summer house) hadn't been flushed when I first checked in. The pool area out in Sconset looked like it had been neglected for years and once again the attendant was more interested in her cell phone than in helping guests. The AC unit in the room worked but was open to the outside on one side so struggled. The only redeeming qualities for this place for me was the size of the bathroom in our room which was nice and the cleaning staff who were very nice. I wouldn't recommend this place until the Summer House bothers to invest so
