Located just 30 miles south of Cape Cod, Nantucket has been named by National Geographic as one of the Top 10 islands in the world. And no wonder. A truly captivating destination, Nantucket features award-winning hotels, sophisticated shops, superb dining, breath-taking waterfront properties and beaches, and treasured historic and cultural attractions.
In Nantucket Town, guests can walk the cobblestone streets and step back in time. There are over 800 historic buildings, some dating back to the late 1600's. Over a dozen museums, including the Whaling Museum preserve Nantucket's past. An array of upscale boutiques, antique shops, art galleries, pubs and fine restaurants line the charming streets. During spring and summer, Nantucket boasts wine and film festivals, gallery openings, local theatre, antique and craft fairs, and concerts.
It is here that New England Development, through its company White Elephant Resorts, has created an unparalleled collection of premier properties, including The Wauwinet, White Elephant, White Elephant Village, Jared Coffin House, and The Cottages at Nantucket Boat Basin.
