Every single aspect of the cliffside experience is outstanding. Personnel, staffing, rooms, location, private beach, breakfast, & close access to area restaurants. Pool area is a tranquil experience, very enjoyable. 

A great get-away.  

PROs: location, location, location.  this place sits directly on a private beach, provides beach chairs, umbrellas, and food/drink to the chairs, sunsets are amazing here.  the pool area is great as well if the beach is a bit too windy some days.  the rooms are big, the bed is comfortable, and everything was very clean.  the staff was super friendly and helpful.  they provide a complimentary shuttle into town in the evenings for dinner, we had made a reservation a bit outside of town for dinner and they were stilling willing to take us there.  my husband spilled a drink on his shorts/shirt, they did his laundry free of charge. 

CONs: breakfast is included in your stay, but for the minimum of $750+/night, breakfast left much to be desired. it was a simple continental breakfast with prepackaged cereal, yogurt, assorted pastries and fruits (banana, oranges, ect). they could atleast provide an egg, toast and sliced fruit/parfait options. 

the restaurant on site is outrageously overpriced and food is ok at best. lunch we had two soups and Caesar salad at $100.  appetizer size lobster spring rolls (plural) was actually a single small spring roll cut in half for $30.  we ate out on the island all four nights for dinner.  the restaurant here was one of the most expensive and our least favorite.  save your money and eat elsewhere. 

ROOM TIP: all the "angle" rooms provided basically the same view of the beach.  unless its SUPER important to you to see the beach from your room, I would either pay up for the front-facing cottage rooms or select the cheapest angle room available. 

also - room 115 is the closest angle room to the front desk.  quiet at night, but early in the morning can be a bit noising with the staff walking around on the deck behind the room. usually woke us up around 8/830AM.  not a deal breaker for the room if only one available, not constant noise. 

Overall - loved are stay. staff was great. location cant be beat. would definitely stay here again.

cant beat the location on the beach. would stay here again!

By far the best place to stay on ACK. Hotel is on the water with amazing sunsets. Rooms are nice and oversized. Awesome gym, outdoor pool and hot tub. Steam and saunas as well. Continental breakfast every morning.  Staff is wonderful and can help with things to do, dinner reservations and transportation.  Highly recommend staying here. Easy walk to town!

Fall weekend getaway

My husband and I stayed in an Ocean View room at the Cliffside for three nights at the end of May -- and were thrilled with the experience. Although we were there slightly before the season started, the staff was very attentive and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about the room, which was very thoughtfully decorated, had an incredibly comfortable bed and, best of all, a private porch from which to view the beach and bay mere steps away. We took advantage of the continental breakfasts, the on-site restaurant and the pool and gym areas -- all of which were lovely. I especially appreciated all the little attentions to detail throughout the property. You can certainly tell that someone put a lot of thought into curating a restful, welcoming guest experience.

Best beachside hotel experience in Nantucket

Spent 5 nights here in late August.  Was lucky enough to get a beachside cottage that opened right on to the beach and was more like a small cottage than a room.  It was totally renovated and had a full kitchen, living room, even washer/dryer in the bathroom.  Could not have been more comfortable and livable.  The whole place is fantastic.  Small, professionally run yet friendly.  The young staff set up beach chairs and an umbrella for us each day.  And we loved Nantucket in general.  I see why it’s so hard to get a reservation here and also why they are so strict about their non-cancellation policy.  
You do not need a car on the island in my opinion.  We rented bikes and used them often.  To and from the ferry with luggage, we used Uber.  And a couple of times, George from the resort drove us to dinner and picked us up.  Thanks, George!
The only slight negative was the daily breakfast, which was included in our fare.  It was pretty basic and the same every day.  For the price of accommodations, they could easily do better.  
Fair Warning:  Nantucket in general is an expensive place in the summer, as all the merchants have a short season to make money.  Cliff side is a costly place to stay, but if you can afford it, you will love it.  

Amazing Beachfront Inn

My wife and I recently spent 4 nights at Cliffside.  The property is located right on the beach and out at the end of the island, so very quiet and away from the hustle of the small downtown area.  It is about a 15 minute walk into downtown, so an easy stroll.

We stayed in one of their beachfront suites.  It was very nice and well decorated.  Nice porch to sit and walk right onto the beach.  Great view every night of the sunset as well.  The suite had a small kitchen and a very large bathroom, including washer and dryer.

The service at Cliffside is outstanding.  Everyone is great and always available to assist with any needs.  One thing that blew us away was that one morning after it had rained over night, the staff came by and replaced all the cushions on the porch chairs with dry ones, so we could sit outside first thing that morning.  We never asked, they just came by and did it.

They offer a very nice continental breakfast with a good selection of pastries, breads, doughnuts, fruit and yogurt.  There is the Galley restaurant onsite, but we did not have any meals there.

I highly recommend this property for any visit to Nantucket.  I also really recommend you visit over Columbus Day weekend, as most of the island has started to clear out for the season.  The crowds are non existent and most everything is still open and operating.  It seems like Columbus Day weekend is the true end of season for Nantucket.

Again, a quick 15 minute walk and you can be downtown for the all the great restaurants, shops and activities that Nantucket has to offer.  If you are not into walking, it is pretty easy to get Uber, Lyft or have the staff call a taxi.

Another recommendation is to work with the resort staff to rent a Jeep for the day.  Great way to tour the entire island and all the different beaches.  There are also several off road opportunities to drive on the beach out to some of the most beautiful points and lighthouses.

We will definitely be back to Nantucket in the fall and our first call for accommodations will be Cliffside.

Absolutely Incredible Spot

Unfortunately decided to cancel our trip due to the pending path of Hurricane Jose.  They would not give me a dime back.  Was very unprofessional on the phone saying it could be just a little rain and sunny the next day.

Hoping my credit card dispute works.

Beware if you ever need to cancel

We stayed at the Cliffside for 3 nights in one of the ocean front rooms - the location is just unbeatable.  Step of a private deck complete with a set of chairs and a table, and you'll feel the warm sand under your feet.  The ocean on this side of Nantucket is docile, great for swimming.
The staff is friendly and accommodating.  We found our room to be spotless, comfortable and housekeeping meticulous.  You won't be able to resist ordering room service and enjoying a dinner right at the beach, I only wish the menu had a few more options.
We live local, so Nantucket is just a short flight from our home base; this is the perfect quick getaway to a fantastic New England beach.  We're hoping to return next year.
