We stayed at the Beachside for two nights in September 2012. This place was a pleasure to stay at. Prompt check in. Room was very clean and in Ok condition. Some things are in need of repair. They had a complementary Continental breakfast which was nicely set up. Management continued to replenish when something was low. They had a toaster... More

This is one of the lesser expensive options on the island Negatives: - The rooms are old, cheap and dirty. Our bathroom had hair in it.

Our family stayed at the Beachside on 8/16 through 8/18. We had a fantastic time. The staff could not have been more accomodating. The room was clean, breakfast was great and the location could not be better - mid way between Jetties and town. The staff was very accomodating from the registration to check out.

For the average holiday maker finding a good balance between an affordable hotel and one that is close enough to the attractions you want to visit is important. This applies more-so in Nantucket during peak season where finding good value accommodation is a must. The Beachside is fine, not great, but it is very convenient for town (10 mins) and... More

We just returned from a week on Nantucket. As we have numerous times before, we stayed at the Beachside. As usual we found the staff to be friendly; attentive and as helpful as they could be. Unlike in years past, we found that the little things were not being done. We found the bathroom to be poorly maintained upon arrival.... More

It costs an arm and a leg to stay anywhere on Nantucket in the height of summer.
