Still my favorete Nantucket bed and breakfast, The Century House, offers a special romance package...Set in a prestigious part of Nantucket, just outside downtown and at one of the highest points on the island, The Century House caters to honeymooners, couples, and anniversary couples...It's just-off-the-beaten-path location is exactly in the middle of downtown and the beaches. Sea zephyrs bring in cool salt air and the quiet island spot promises privacy and serenity. If you recognize the bed and breakfast when you visit, it may be due to its status as the setting of the 1990s hit TV show, Wings.

NANTUCKET CENTURY HOUSE REVIEW: Wedding Bells Chime Over Nantucket Sound
By Stephen L. Cabral
If you are one of those SouthCoast natives, that dreams of mixing a dash of history with some salty, nautical charm to your wedding celebration, then set your course to Nantucket Sound. Listen carefully! You just might hear wedding bells in the wind. Now let your imagination sail beyond the horizon to the sandy shores of Nantucket. That’s where you will find the Century House, one of the oldest continuously operating inns on the island. Captain Robert Calder, a Nantucket whaler of Scottish descent, built the 18 room house in 1840. Century House became a rooming/boarding house in the early 1870’s following the decline of the whaling industry. The business thrived in the gay 90’ and roaring 20’s; survived the Great Depression and witnessed the flower power of the 60’s. This site finally joined the modern Bed & Breakfast trend with fancy private baths and air conditioning in the 1980’s... Read

NANTUCKET REVIEW: Historic inn marries a love of art and the printed word
Well, almost: Each summer, six to 10 invited master artists who make their living solely through art have been guests - free of charge - at Century House on Nantucket. The inn this season celebrates its 175th anniversary, making it the island's oldest continually operating guesthouse, according to innkeepers Gerry Connick and his wife, Jean Ellen Heron, who this year mark their 25th anniversary of ownership...The artist-in-residence program has been in effect almost all of those years, with artists paying only in scenes they capture around the island. They can stay for a few days or a week or more in the flexible program...The inn undergoes regular renovation, Connick said, averaging a room and a half per year, at a cost of roughly $100,000 per room. This year, that included the Black Orchid where we stayed, a corner room with a small, private veranda overlooking the restored 18th-century Kite Hill Estate...The room has a high trey ceiling with layered molding, a Swarovski crystal chandelier, original antique cast-iron fireplace, Victorian marble-top bureau, and wide pine floors. Decorated with pistachio and dark chocolate paint and wallpaper, highlighted with deep purple accents, the room also has Swarovski wall sconces. All rooms are unique, their names reflecting their character and design scheme, included the sanguine-toned Red Dahlia, with its unabashedly bright red antique dresser... Read   |  View Article

NANTUCKET REVIEW: Destination Nantucket
Nantucket, a vacation spot since 1880, is resolute in its quest to remain "yesterday's island." In other words, no Starbucks. But what it lacks in 21st-century brand names, it makes up for with miles of beaches, photography-friendly light and landscapes, plenty of lighthouses and a Main Street jammed with art galleries and independent restaurants. Nantucket is so synonymous with "summer vacation" that some locals advise visiting during September. It's chillier, yes, but by then the crowds have gone and the restaurants, weary of impressing tourists, have returned to tried-and-true menus.  Sixteen-room Century House, opened in 1833, has a flower-festooned wraparound front porch; the inn is within walking distance of Main Street and beaches. Breakfast and afternoon tea are served daily, and the innkeeper has a stash of beach-worthy paperbacks on hand (superior rooms, breakfast and tea included, from $285, www.centuryhouse.com).

NANTUCKET BED AND BREAKFAST REVIEW: CELEBRATING 175 YEARS OF NANTUCKET FREEDOM AT THE CENTURY HOUSE
What a unique treat it was to be able to stay at the Century House built by Captain Robert Calder in 1833.  Why unique?  Well for us, after doing some research, we believe that Captain Calder was my husbands fifth great grandfather and while walking through the home and up and down the stairs, my husband felt as if he were repeating history. How exciting it was for him to walk where one of his relatives walked over 175 years ago.  While we sat outside smelling the sea air, we couldn't help but wonder if Captain Calder sat where we sat, thinking about his travels, Scotland, and fishing while enjoying a glass of scotch from his homeland. Even though the inn is now surrounded by other beautiful historical homes and the view of the ocean is no more,  Captain Calder placed his home perfectly atop a hill surely to keep an eye on the ocean and to enjoy the romantic sea breezes. The cozy and enchanting rooms were full to capacity during our stay, yet it always felt private, peaceful, and quiet.  The inns traditional and highly acclaimed  morning buffet breakfast of fresh fruits, nuts, cereals, muffins, juice and coffee was a healthy start to the day and  I enjoyed the hot cookies waiting in the sitting room on a platter in the evening. What a perfect treat before tucking ourselves in between the soft cotton sheets of our bed while preparing ourselves for a restful nights sleep.   View Videos| Read |  View Article

Nantucket Bed and Breakfast Review: "Nantucket inn gives stay to Hutchinsons, whose first date was on the island."
"This gift from Century House will be a wonderful trip down memory lane for us. It will bring us home nearly 34 years after our first date," John said. ...It seems that these two "old lovebirds" have a migratory cycle that makes Canada geese look like stay-at-homes. John and Gail love living in Waxhaw. They have been residents since July 2001. I asked them where they had been prior to moving here, and got "which time?" as an answer. Their common interest in Asia was fortuitous. I learned they had lived in the Philippines for eight years, and three years in Malaysia.  Read  |  View

Nantucket Inns Reviews: "Century House Inn: Art is the Inn Thing at Nantucket’s Century House."
"Art is many different things to many different people. To Gerry Connick and his wife, Jean Ellen Heron, it is a vital part of their cultural lives. And at one time it was a very pretty way to cover up holes in the wall. “There were a lot of holes,” Connick says now, who with his wife are innkeepers at Century House on Nantucket, which was built in the 1840s and is the oldest continuously operating guesthouse on that picturesque island. “For awhile we didn’t have enough art to cover them all.” They do now"  The building boasts a wraparound veranda and a breezy, hilltop location in the elite historical district on prestigious Cliff Road, a very short walk away from downtown...within walking distance are some of the most spectacular beaches on the East Coast."

Best Itinerary: Start your day with a cup of coffee and a bowl of innkeeper Gerry's homemade granola with fresh berries on the wrap-around verandah.  Then walk into town, rent bikes, and ride to Siasconsett Beach-a 15-mile loop.  If you wimp out, a shuttle bus runs along the route and can pick you and bike up.  Hang out at the beach and explore the town where sweet little cottages coexist with huge family compounds.  Reward yourself later with a drink at the Club Car Lounge and Restaurant...The exterior look familiar?  It was the bar shot for the old TV series Wings."

Forbes.com, Top Five Eastern US Summer Inn Destinations

Nantucket Reviews: Granted, most Americans don't think of upstate New York when pondering where to take their summer vacations. But the fact is, the Eastern United States offers beautiful scenery, relative isolation and, best of all, not a pesky Euro in sight. From rural Maine and New Hampshire to Palm Beach, Fla.--and everything in between (the Berkshires, the Adirondacks, the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket)--the Eastern U.S. offers a surprising number of options for travelers looking to stay local (relatively speaking). Since you're saving on airfare, we recommend you splurge at The Point in Saranac Lake, N.Y. Room rates start at $1,250 per night over the summer, so it may surprise you to learn that the lodgings are made of notched logs and there aren't even phones in the guest rooms. But all sporting activities and meals are included in the nightly rate, and the dining facilities are legendary, with meals planned weeks in advance to take into account the allergies or favorite dishes of upcoming guests. forbes.com link

Nantucket Reviews: Destination of the Week: Nantucket Beds
"Some say Nantucket, like the Hamptons, is best enjoyed from the comfort of a friend's summer house.  In the wealthiest East Coast enclaves, the most desirable real estate--sprawling beach-side houses off some quiet lane named after a pond or a bird--belongs to home-owners, and not luxury hotel chains. In fact, luxury hotels are few and far between in the best neighborhoods, and where they do exist, visitors must face the indignity of paying over $525 per night to stay in them while their luckier friends, with home-owning friends of their own in the area, stay for free.  Visitors...can stay in a luxury inn with rooms decorated and maintained to feel like their very own, or at least their new Nantucket best friend's--and a very generous best friend at that...Breakfast is complimentary, as is the chocolate, freshly baked cookies, crackers and cheese placed in the Inn's central dining room throughout the day. These snacks are a good chance for fortification before setting off to explore the island on bicycles: The picturesque towns of Sconset and Madaket are both well within biking distance, and Cliff beach, a good spot for kite- and wind-surfing, entails a stroll past Tommy Hilfiger's house.
