Guests come to Natucket to get away from it all -- and with a remote location away from downtown, The Wauwinet is about as away from it as you can get. The charming New England property is surrounded by both the bay and the ocean, and some (bayside) guest rooms offer amazing sunsets. One of the island's most loved restaurants is here, which is just another reason the rates are so high -- especially during the peak summer months.

Nantucket tends to evoke an image of classic New England decor and luxury. The 18-room Veranda House offers luxury, but in a chic and modern setting that sets it apart from the many historic inns and hotels on the island. You’ll pay a good amount for these trendy rooms, but high rates come standard in the area. It's a great choice for young adults or couples, with a central downtown location and no children under 10 allowed.

The Cottages & Lofts at Boat Basin are perfect for families and groups looking for something other than a typical hotel or B&B stay. The self-contained cottages and lofts offer all the perks of a private vacation rental with the benefit of hotel features such as daily housekeeping and access to a nearby spa. Pet-lovers will be happy, too, because furry members of the family are allowed within certain cottages for an extra fee. The location directly on the Harbor means the views are fairly spectacular, too.

The big, luxurious one- to three-bedroom units at White Elephant Residences are a good choice for families and groups. Unlike vacation home rentals, these units come with the perks of a hotel stay -- daily housekeeping, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a well-equipped fitness center. There’s not much in terms of a communal feel, like you might find at an inn or smaller hotel, but that’s part of the allure for some. As to be expected, however, privacy and luxury don’t come cheap on this island.

The Vanessa Noel's eight chic, minimalist rooms feel more New York City than Nantucket -- and as in New York City, some rooms and bathrooms are small (it's a historic building, though, so that is to be expected). The only common area for guests being the colorful Cafe V Bar, adjacent to the lobby, where breakfast is served daily in the high season. The location in a quiet residential neighborhood a couple blocks from downtown is quite convenient for guests wanting to explore the Nantucket scene.

One of the oldest inns on the island, Jared Coffin House gives travelers a taste of Nantucket history and classic New England style. Some of the rooms and bathrooms are small, but all combine antique-style furnishings with modern features, such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The inn, open year-round and centrally located near the downtown area, also features the elegant and popular Nantucket Prime restaurant.

White Elephant Hotel has a prime location, on the water and walkable to downtown. But to get a gorgeous view, be prepared to pay high prices -- though you'll get cozy rooms/cottages with modern features. A spa and a fine dining restaurant give this luxury inn a boost -- but keep in mind there is no pool. Bottom line here is, if you have the money to spend for the waterfront location, this could be a good choice for you. Note that it's closed during the winter months.

The three-pearl Cliffside Beach Club has a beautiful private beach, a rarity in Nantucket, along with a spa-like fitness center with steam and sauna rooms, and a lovely pool area with a separate lap pool and whirlpool. Many of its 27 rooms have been renovated, and all offer a sleek, beach-theme style and elegant bathrooms. This adult-oriented, boutique property is in a quiet and secluded setting, which means a lengthy walk to downtown. Rates are reasonable by Nantucket standards. Travelers seeking a hotel closer to town might want to consider the Centerboard Inn.

The Brass Lantern Inn's excellent downtown location is within walking distance of everything in pedestrian-friendly (or car prohibitive) Nantucket, making it one of the most popular bed-and-breakfasts in town. Housed in a historic building, this mid-range property offers 18 individually decorated rooms that mix classic and contemporary New England style, though some are notably cramped. The included breakfast won't sate hearty appetites, but the coffee and pastries are all local. The inn is more kid-friendly than similar properties nearby like The Veranda House or the Centerboard Inn -- both historic bed-and-breakfasts with similar amenities that are also worth considering.
