    My husband and I had reservations for one night at this inn during our vacation in California through Priceline and it was a nonrefundable reservation. However, we had an immediate family member be hospitalized and had to fly home early for a medical emergency. We contacted Priceline and given the circumstances, they were more than willing to refund us if the inn owner approved and they would not...even with medical proof. All other hotels gladly refunded us. Customer beware. Inn owner will not refund you (days in advance!) even for medical emergency with documented proof And would not return my calls.

    Super-comfortable bed, all very clean

    What a lovely, sweet and very comfortable bed and breakfast in a great Oceanside little town! I stayed in a suite in the back and had breakfast delivered to me, which was a special treat. The room was a big attic studio and had the most comfortable bed and luxurious spa tub I've ever experienced, all while being super cute. I had a wonderful quiet getaway weekend there, and would happily return.

    This place was quaint and comfortable, with everything we needed and more. We checked in with Suzie for two nights, found the wine bar stocked, and enjoyed exploring the Inn and the town. We could walk to just about anywhere. The breakfasts were good but basic (no complaints from me here): yogurt with fruit and granola, scrambled egg, English muffin, two sausage, OJ, coffee, etc. on Saturday; fruit, pancakes, bacon, OJ, coffee, etc. on Sunday. We met some fellow travelers and had good table conversations... All in all, it was a very nice stay.

    We noticed this establishment had a high rating but fewer reviews than the surrounding lodging businesses. We decided to give it a try expecting it to be middle of the road due to the fewer reviews. There were pros and cons. The highlight was the B&B was updated with a modern feel. The included breakfast was great. After returning home I received a customer survey. In response I took time to provide my input on the pros and cons of our stay. However there was no acknowledgment or attempt to address the couple of issues that I did provide feedback on, so it's hard to not draw the conclusion the business does not care.

    Nantucket Suite

    I recently stopped by here for a weekend family getaway with my husband and our 5 month old baby. It was our first family vacation so I was a bit nervous about how my baby would react to a new environment but overall everything went well! We booked the Nantucket suite which is more removed from the rest of the rooms, perfect for our situation. Sandra was super helpful over the phone when booking the hotel as well as when we were checking in outside of the 4-6pm window. The Nantucket suite is located on the second floor, accessible via stairs. They have a beautiful backyard patio area to lounge, enjoy the breezy HMB air, or enjoy their afternoon wine. The decor throughout the entire B&B was whale/nautical themed and the overall spot was very charming. The Nantucket suite is especially nice because you get your breakfast delivered in the morning. This was super convenient since it allowed us to eat without having to worry about prepping/bringing baby to any specific dining area. Staff was super nice too! Breakfast was delicious and filling, we pretty much cleaned each plate. The pancakes especially were yummy and fluffy -- SO GOOD. The room has an open concept, with the jacuzzi tub/rain shower open to the room and toilet separated. This allowed more natural light into the room, but was a bit clunky when it came to the practicality of it since whenever someone showered, it ended up making the whole room pretty humid + there's not much privacy for the person showering. This wasn't an issue for us, but something to keep in mind if you're not super comfortable with your travel partner! Another plus is that HMB Main Street, Poplar Beach, and other eateries are all within walking distance. Parking is always an annoying thing to deal with, so being able to walk and enjoy the air was a big plus. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at this B&B and would hope to be able to come back another day!

    Comfy bed in the bedroom at the front facing out to the street

    We had a lovely last minute stay here. I had a great idea to camp at HMB which I had planned for months. The wind was really bad during our camping trip so we ended up booking a room at the inn. We loved that it was walking distance to Pasta Moon but just far enough away from the main downtown thoroughfare. Our room which faced the street was extremely comfortable and had a nice fireplace and cozy bed. Prior to walking to Pasta Moon for dinner, we had some complimentary wine sitting by the window in our room. After dinner, we played board games in the spacious living room. In the morning, we had breakfast at the communal table with another couple. The innkeeper was very friendly. She insisted on making us more food when she realized we had our son with us. We played more board games after breakfast before packing up. They also have larger rooms in the back of the inn that you can rent and spend time with friends and family. Nantucket Whale Inn was simply wonderful and we'll be back.

    Breakfast rough to us in the morning

    Self check in, Beautiful, clean room. Quiet and quaint. Great location. Bed was so comfy

    I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was a little shocked by how old this B&B is. I mean, the floor literally consists of wooden boards. They creak when you walk on them, which means everyone in the house knows where you are and where you're going. I didn't have a very pleasant time procuring dinner, but found some pizza to bring back to my room. Once there, I discovered that the Wi-Fi didn't work in my room. The owners need to invest in a mesh Wi-Fi system. It's inexpensive and something I had to do at our house, because of signal and capacity limitations. I had a very cozy room, but it got cold overnight and the road noise woke me up a few times. Like I said, this place is old and the windows don't really keep out the weather or the noise very well. The other problem is that my bathroom only had one light that worked (unless there was another switch that I couldn't find) and when I went to take a shower, the bathtub leaked water all over the place. Maybe this is part of the Nantucket charm? I don't know. Anyway, it's a cute place that would be perfect for a romantic getaway. As for me, I just needed a place to crash for the night...

    Stayed here for one night and it was excellent. Large, comfortable room, impeccably clean and all the amenities were well thought out and in good working order. The working gas fireplace, spacious jacuzzi tub, relaxing back patio, and coffee/wine bar were all excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. The white noise machine provided in my room was a nice touch to not hear anyone above as well.

    See all

This hotel is walking distance to a few restaurants by utilizing the walking path along the water. The only negative about our stay was the temperature in the room.

The shower had bottles of shampoo, conditioner and cleanser. I don't think they missed anything -except toothpaste! You're on your own with that.

Officially fits 10 but so spacious can fit more. Towels available at front desk. 4) Complimentary continental breakfast - everything you can ask for that does not require any cooking including various pastries, bagels, muffins, oatmeal with toppings, yogurt with various toppings, apple or orange juice, coffee, tea, apples, pears, bananas, hard boiled eggs and toaster (for the sliced bread or bagels). There are wooden trays if you want to take some food to your room. There are 4 large round tables with 8 chairs for seating and a fireplace burning. There's something for everyone! You can also eat outside on the patio with ocean view. (There were also a few GF options.) 5) 5:30 complimentary wine in lobby area. 6) Self service cold water - small plastic cups available in lobby area We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room is spacious and furniture is not the most current but it was comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sunset and surfers out on the ocean!
