About The Inn
The Barnacle Inn Nantucket
Built in the late 1920’s by Island tradesmen, The Barnacle Inn was designed as a summer inn and has been in business for more than 85 consecutive summers.
For over 50 years, The Inn has been owned by the Kiendl family. In that time they have gained a gracious reputation from islanders and visitors alike.
‘Step back in time’ at the classic Nantucket Inn. Uniquely situated in spacious garden surroundings in a historic Nantucket neighborhood, this bed and breakfast is conveniently located only two short blocks from cobble-stoned Main Street in downtown Nantucket. All of the rooms bear the names of whaling vessels that sailed from Nantucket over a century ago.
Enjoy a quick stroll to local shopping, museums, famous restaurants, Brant Point lighthouse, and nearby harbor beaches. Experience our signature breakfast on our scenic front or side patio. Enjoy charm and comfort at the authentic summer Inn.

What Our Guests Say
Lovely inn with nautical touches and a lovely host! The breakfast was amazing, the rooms were clean, and and the hospitality meant a lot to my Mom and I. We are so glad we chose to stay here and recommend having breakfast on the patio each morning.

I can't say enough good things about the Barnacle Inn. I planned a getaway trip for the end of Sept, just the two of us without our young toddlers, for my husband's 40th birthday and stayed here Monday through Friday. We had SUCH an amazing time, all thanks to our wonderful hosts and the great B+B itself!

Had the chance to stay at this beautiful paradise this week while visiting some friends and I must say this is a special bed and breakfast. The staff is kind, room was clean, establishment is historic and the location couldn’t be more perfect.

We loved everything about our stay at The Barnacle Inn! The owners and the staff were welcoming and friendly, the room was cozy and cute, and the breakfasts were all delightful! It was the perfect spot for a couple of honeymooners like us!
