PALM BEACH POST.
If your travels take you to
Massachusetts, consider a stop at the Century House on
Nantucket Island
CAPE COD TODAY. Another hallmark of the Century House
are the homemade cookies available in the living room
throughout the day and the always available fresh
coffee, tea and other treats. The producers of Paramount
Pictures hit TV show “Wings”
chose Century House as their Nantucket home when first
visiting the island in 1989 to scout locations for the
popular television sitcom. In the subsequent years the
inn became a star, often appearing on the show in cameo
performances and was popular enough that in 1994 the
innkeepers were invited to do a walk-on.

This 1840 sea captain's home became a rooming house in
the early 1870s and has welcomed the public ever since,
setting an island record. Rooms are furnished with a mix
of reproductions and antiques -- the feel favors comfort
over style -- and the book-filled common room invites
lounging, as does the wraparound porch.

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.

you could relax away an afternoon if you like.

from the garret rooms on the third floor, to more
spacious expanses on the second floor. Little
extras include luxury bath products and robes. The
