One lovely night at the Faraway Nantucket

For the tail end of my most recent trip to Nantucket, I stayed at the new Faraway hotel located in the middle of downtown on Centre Street. Tucked behind a row of inconspicuous green shrubs lies the Faraway property. Once you round the corner of the entrance, you'll immediately step into the lively courtyard with ample seating and plants as far as the eye can see. Designed by the team behind Life House, the Faraway doesn't skimp on the aesthetically pleasing details. From the courtyard to the lobby floor (hello, checkerboard pattern 😍), the property is pure eye candy.

A summer stay at the Life House Nantucket

I don't know how else to describe my stay at Life House other than magical. The shingle-clad exterior is like all other houses surrounding Life House Nantucket. Once you enter through the front door, though, you're transported to a worldly coastal cottage that is unlike anything else on this tiny New England island. With palm trees, unique knick-knacks, and rattan furniture everywhere you turn, you'll feel like you've whisked away to some remote tropical locale.

Snapshots from my week escape to Nantucket

Nantucket is a very special place for me. Maybe it's because of the quaint small-town feel? Maybe it's because I always go there with my favorite people and have the best time? Whatever it is, I love Nantucket. It is my happy place.

A Nantucket Guide

Ok, I'll admit that I might have a small obsession with Nantucket. She's a lovely little island off the coast of Massachusetts that has a big presence. (Or maybe it's just me.)True to her seasonal nature, the summer months are packed with locals, summer families and visitors strolling, shopping, and dining in downtown. From fudge at Aunt Leah's Fudge to resting your head at The Nantucket Hotel, Nantucket is a place for simple pleasures.I want to share my favorite places on Nantucket with you so you can enjoy everything I love about the island.

Where to eat: Nautilus

To say that I stalk both Nautilus restaurants is an understatement. I was first introduced to Nautilus on my favorite little island off the coast of Massachusetts (Nantucket). On island, they don't regularly take reservations in advance so it's a commitment to get in. But oh-so-worth-it. When I heard they were opening a Boston outpost, like a good stalker, I was there on opening night.

Portland, Maine City Guide

Portland, Maine is a food heaven. I've compiled my favorite spots into my Portland, Maine City Guide. This City Guide aims to evolve with Portland's food and shopping scene. I will continue to keep this updated and you can find it under my City Guides section.
