There is nothing i like more than to be welcomed back to the Century House by the ever gracious and charming Jean E. and the beloved raconteur and good friend,Gerry. Although expensive, so is everything else on Nantucket but well worth every penny! Instead of the Romantic name we love so well,The Grey Lady, I suggest a new name for... More

The location is perfect as everything is so close and yet you are not right on the noisiest streets. Breakfasts are great and relaxing. Bottled water, tea, coffee and soft drinks are always available out on the porch and in the cozy parlour. This is a lovely feature! We stayed for three nights in the Sweet Pea. I would not... More

Our time at the Century House was wonderful. It`s situated within easy walking distance to Town center. Plus , up Cliff Rd. a short way, is a first class sandwhich/bakery establishment, further on is access to Steps Beach through a beautiful neighborhood, and beyond that starts the Cliff Rd. Bike Trail with Lupancy Links on your right. A beautiful place... More

I visited Nantucket for a friends wedding. I stayed 3 nights at Century House. If I return to Nantucket I will stay here again. Friendly and interesting, great location. Value marked down as Nantucket is overpriced.

We are a senior couple with experience with travel and accommodations. Although very quaint, the room we payed approximately $400 per night was so small, one couldn't fall down. After checking in and going to our room, I found a strange woman using my private adjacent bathroom. She had checkout out hours earlier and felt priviledged to use the bathroom... More

First, the good: The little Century House is very pretty, and is not too far from the main part of town. In its day, I'm sure it was nice, but time has not been kind to the house, nor to the innkeeper, I'm afraid. Next the bad: the tiny room had no place to put our clothes, so we had... More

The Century House is wonderful ! Clean, bright and a wonderful breakfast. I especially appreciate the early morning coffee, I grab a cup and walk down to the beach and watch the sunrise. They think of everything. We have tried other places on the island in past years and none compare. I think this will be our 8th year. Need... More

I've wanted to go to Nantucket ever since watching "Wings" 15 years ago on TV, and what better place to stay than the Century House, depicted in several episodes. The REAL experience did not disappoint. Jeanie, the inn "keeperette" was wonderful, rooms were great, and the location perfect. Can't wait to go back next year.

This well run B&B is welcoming and bright, immaculately clean, and very well located within walking distance to town. I especially love the porches where you can always find a shady corner and a comfortable chair. Take time for breakfast in the cozy kitchen where you will often find good conversation as you sit among a gallery of original art... More

Very well run B&B. Innkeeper and staff do a terrific and unobtrusive job of making all guests feel comfortable. Our room, Black Orchid, was immaculate with heavy, beautiful moldings on ceiling, sparkling chandelier and newly renovated bath room. Softest bath towels looked brand new and bed linens were clean and pure white. Appreciated the cleanliness throughout the house. Living room... More
