FORBES.COM Top Five Easter US Summer Inn Destinations!

UPSCALE LIVING MAGAZINE 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.

THE AMERICAN LAWYER Among the many places to stay, some are historic, like the 1840s Century House on Cliff Road, the island's oldest continuously operating guesthouse.  Traditional inn charm-substantial buffet breakfasts and afternoon tea-mixes with modern amenities, including high-speed Internet and WiFi access.

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.

NY TIMES.COM 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.

FORBES.COM 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.

RACHEL FLORIO, CELEBRITY TREND EXPERT Stay at the Century House!  I stayed there...it was fabulous.  Warm cookies at five pm everyday..."

FROMMERS GUIDE NEW ENGLAND This handsome inn offers a homey atmosphere just a short walk to the center of town.  One of the highlights is the immense wraparound porch, complete with rocking chairs, where you could relax away an afternoon if you like.  Rooms, which are spotlessly clean, range widely in size 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 entire property is outfitted with free wireless Internet.  An artist-in-residence program means the walls are hung with numerous interesting paintings.

WESTCHESTER MAGAZINE This 1833 inn, just a short walk from town and the ferry attracts an artsy crowd; every room is filled with original artwork and photography, from former guests. 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.
