The new three-bedroom Anchorage House at The Wauwinet will open May 2015 on Nantucket. Located on the northeast end of the island and steps away from two beaches – one on the Atlantic Ocean and one on the Bay—the new accommodation will evoke the feeling of a private beach house. The House will mirror a classic Nantucket cottage with wooden shingles and white trim. Celebrated local interior designer, Donna Elle, will bring coastal inspired elements with driftwood-like finishes and a palette of sunrise corals, sunset blues, and golden sands. The House will offer 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 will 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, Nespresso and Keurig machines, as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels.
Located across the street from the main Inn, the House will be situated alongside the Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge, a thin peninsula that leads to Great Point Lighthouse. Nantucket Town is a 15 minute drive from the property and a roundtrip hourly jitney service is available. All guests of the House will have access to complimentary amenities at The Wauwinet, including kayaks, lobster outings, tennis, afternoon cheese and port, and shuttle service to the ferry dock.
The Wauwinet is home to the award-winning TOPPER’S restaurant. Known for its fresh seafood and stunning views of Nantucket Bay, the seasonal menu features favorites like Retsyo Oysters, sourced from the oyster bed located 300 yards from The Wauwinet and a wine collection of over 1,450 bottles.
Rates at the Anchorage House start at $1500 per night.
