On this prepossessing New England island, every building appears as though it were created expressly for a storybook, and the hotels, inns, and bed-and-breakfasts are no exception. From quaint shingled cottages to sprawling clapboard guesthouses, each one has a personality all its own. The Nantucket air is fragrant with the scent of roses and a salty tang that reminds visitors that the pristine beach is just steps away, below the bluff and past the dunes.
