Searching for the perfect Nantucket cottage this summer but don't want to skimp on hotel amenities? We feel you (who wants to vacation without a plush bathrobe and room service?) and have no fear, The Wauwinet is here! We're blushing Nantucket red over the quaint hotel's (and home to award-winning and T&C favorite restaurant TOPPER'S) new three-bedroom cottage, the Anchorage House, located on the northeast end of the island and only steps away from two beaches – one on the Atlantic Ocean and one on the Bay. (Morning swim-check)

And what's even better but the gorgeous exterior of the wooden shingled Anchorage House? The nautical interior designed by celebrated local interior designer, Donna Elle. Think coastal inspired elements like driftwood panels and a color palette of sunrise corals, sunset blues, and golden sands. The house offers a spacious living room with a fireplace, kitchenette, and large table for entertaining, as well as two private ground-floor decks surrounded by landscaped gardens. 

The three bedrooms feature different design elements, each with their own Bose music system and private bath. Other amenities include an office, washer and dryer, linens by Pratesi, hybrid bicycles (town is only 15 minutes away afterall), Nespresso machine, as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. When staying at the house you can use all of the amenities of The Wauwinet,which include: kayaks, lobster outings, tennis, afternoon cheese and port, and shuttle service to the ferry dock.
