As the ferry nears the island, the silhouette of The Faraway Nantucket emerges, a beacon of warmth and history nestled in the heart of the Downtown Historic District. Here, the cobblestone streets echo with the tales of sea captains, and the salt air is as crisp as the linen sheets waiting for you in one of the six uniquely designed houses that form this exclusive enclave.
Upon stepping through the gate, the shared courtyard welcomes you with its elegantly landscaped gardens, creating a communal yet intimate atmosphere where soft laughter and the clink of glasses punctuate the evening air. Each house, distinct in its architecture and character, invites you into a world where modern amenities blend seamlessly with rustic charm. Your room, a soothing palette of nautical blues and crisp whites, offers not just comfort but a view into a simpler, serene way of life.
Awake to the gentle rustling of elm and oak leaves outside your window, a natural alarm clock that beckons you to start your day exploring. Stroll mere minutes to the bustling heart of Nantucket, where local boutiques and quaint cafes line the streets, offering the perfect backdrop for a leisurely morning. Delve deeper into the island's rich whaling history with a visit to the nearby Whaling Museum, or simply wander along the scenic shores, each step on the sandy beach telling a story of yesteryear.
Returning to The Faraway Nantucket after your day's adventures, the 24-hour front desk ensures all your needs are met with a smile, allowing you to relax in the courtyard under a blanket of stars. Here, free Wi-Fi beckons you to share snapshots of your day with loved ones or perhaps keep to yourself, savoring the tranquility that only an island retreat can offer.
As night falls, the soft glow of lanterns in the courtyard invites you to enjoy a glass of wine, the air filled with the mingling scents of salt and blooming hydrangeas. In this moment, The Faraway Nantucket isn't just a place to stay; it's a part of your story, a chapter filled with charm, discovery, and the luxury of letting go.
Book your stay at The Faraway Nantucket and carry home memories framed by the timeless elegance of this island haven, where every detail is a brushstroke in the portrait of your perfect getaway.

What we love about this stay
Request a room in one of the houses facing the shared courtyard rather than the street — you'll trade cobblestone charm for something better: that golden late-afternoon light filtering through the landscaping while the rest of downtown buzzes past without you. Mornings here are the real draw. Take your coffee outside before nine, when the courtyard is yours alone and the harbor sounds carry. Walk to the Whaling Museum early in the day before the ferry crowds arrive — it's a different experience unhurried. Evenings, skip the restaurant rush and settle back into the courtyard after dark. The soft lighting turns the whole enclave into something that feels private and a little cinematic. This isn't a place that tries to impress you; it earns you slowly.

Clean, cute & convenient Had a great stay at The Faraway! Property and room are very clean, well appointed, generally comfortable, although extremely tight (as is almost everything in town on ACK). Appreciated the friendly, helpful service and convenient location.

Faraway is a beautiful, and a great place to stay on Nantucket. Right in the middle of town, but with a lovely patio seating area and really beautiful rooms. Highly recommend!
