If Nantucket is on your summer wish list, now’s the moment to act. Summer on Nantucket is one of New England’s most sought-after escapes. From late June through August, the island fills with returning families, wedding guests, and travelers who plan their visits months in advance. The earlier you secure your stay, the more options you’ll have when it comes to location, room type, and preferred dates.
Here’s why booking now makes a difference.
Prime Summer Dates Go First
July and August weekends often book out well in advance, especially around holiday periods and major island events. If you’re coordinating a group trip, attending a wedding, or planning a milestone celebration, waiting until spring can mean limited availability.
Reserving early at Nantucket Resort Collection allows you to choose the property and room style that best fits your trip, whether you want to stay in the heart of town or slightly tucked away from the busiest streets.
Ferry and Flight Reservations Open Early
Transportation to the island requires planning. High-speed ferries and flights between the mainland and Nantucket tend to fill quickly during peak weekends. Booking your accommodations now gives you a clear travel window so you can secure ferry tickets or flights as soon as schedules open. It also allows you to plan rental cars or bikes before inventory tightens.
More Time to Build Your Itinerary
Part of the region’s appeal is the huge variety of things to do in Nantucket. Beaches, bike paths, dining reservations, sailing excursions, shopping, and seasonal events all compete for space on your calendar.
When you plan ahead, you have more flexibility to:
- Reserve popular restaurants
- Schedule boat charters or fishing trips
- Map out beach days based on location
- Coordinate group dinners or celebrations
Instead of scrambling closer to your travel dates, you can approach the trip thoughtfully.
The Best Room Choices Are Available Now
Each property within Nantucket Resort Collection offers its own atmosphere, from classic island architecture to garden courtyards and walkable access to downtown.
Early booking ensures:
- Preferred room categories
- Specific bed configurations
- Proximity to town or beaches
- Multi-room arrangements for families or friends
Nantucket Rewards the Planner
Unlike many vacation spots, Nantucket is a seasonal destination. Restaurants expand hours, events fill the calendar, and the island energy builds as summer approaches. Those who plan early often enjoy the smoothest experience.
