Overall Rating:
Old Nantucket lives in the Nantucket you visit today. The combination of 18th and 19th Century buildings and the cobblestone streets will make you feel as though you have stepped back in time. ...more

Just returned from Nantucket last week. I'm so glad I was there in June--before the busy season. The town is cute but I can see how it can be touristy and crowded during the busy season. If you want a more remote area, check out 'Sconset (I think the actual name is Siasconset) a village on the other side of the island. I stayed at The Summer House. It was beautiful, remote and private. It was not a cheap vacation though.

I have been going to Nantucket for almost twenty years, and I must agree that it is a beautiful place for both adults and children. It, however, can be very expensive and it is not commercial at all, you won't find a McDonalds or a Macys on the island. It is very easy to get around either with bikes or the relatively cheap bus that runs during the summer months to both legs of the island. Public beaches can be crowded but if you rent a place like in Madaket there is a nice private beach. Town is always crowded and has limited parking so don't take the car into town. The summer months are really crowded. The optimal time to visit would be May and early June, or September. The historical tours (the whaling museum) and ghost tours are very interesting and knowlegeable about the island history. Just enjoy the comforting island breezes and beautiful beaches and family owned resturant.
P.S hit up Nantucket Juice Guys...best smoothies in the world

ISLAND IS OVER RATED AND FULL OF DRUG ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS WITH LARGE PORUSES. IF YOU RENT A HOUSE GOOD LUCK YOU MIGHT HAVE A FEW PLEASANT DAYS. OTHERWISE SAVE YOUR MONEY, ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST TOURIST RAT TRAPS.

Too crowded and over priced. Long lines at restaurants for highly priced food..lines for everything. Traffic is worse than anyplace I have ever seen. No restrooms around the town. Don't rent bikes...you'll get run over..bike pathes designed with many blind spots..many accidents occur. Beaches are crowed and have turned into restaurant overflow with tables being set up on the beach. It used to be nice on Nantucket, but not anymore.
