Rebecca, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was terrible. Small, cramped, up two flights of narrow, unsafe stairs, ac barely worked, water pressure horrible. Will never go back.

Amazing property and location!
Juliana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I rated it “just ok” because it Just felt like the property owners try to get the most bang from our buck. Bed mattress was broken on one side, offer coffee and tea but literally not even Splenda Ect. Smell coming in was VERY pungent. It literally was JUST OK, nothing special

2/10 Poor

They didn’t even have toothpaste which we forgot so had to instacart at 9:30pm for 28$. When we tried to check in no one was around and we waited for over 10 minutes for someone to give us a key. The air conditioning cycled on and off all night and was as loud as a plane taking off when it would turn on. The bed was so soft and was slanted with dips in it which made sleeping very difficult. No room in the bathroom for any toiliteries. Had to crane neck to watch the television and the Apple TV was unusable because apps needed updates you couldn’t update the apps.
Bridget, 1-night trip

I thought breakfast was included and there was nothing available but otherwise it was a nice stay

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay at Life House! The room was clean and well decorated and the bed and pillows were so comfortable! The staff was always helpful and super friendly. Chris helped us with recommendations and checked in with us often to make sure we had what we needed. The breakfast is also delicious! A great place to stay in Nantucket!
Vanessa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel but rooms are very small and our bathroom was not attached to room so hard if you get up a lot at night to go to the restroom.

Aesthetic Win

Delightfully furnished and comfortable! Although small, it was so pretty that the size of the room/bathroom didn't bother us. Staff was gracious and helpful. Such a great aesthetic and vibe--would definitely stay again
Zara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No reception facility available and takes a long time to check in. Excellent cold oatmeal coconut fresh blackberries breakfast. Very steep difficult staircase.
Gordon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was beyond. Beyond what you need, want, and probably desire with an active mind. McKenzie was the hostess with the mostest. We actually didn’t spend the most time at the property, but the time spent was the best.
Shannalee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible!

Life House was exceptional. The team are so hospitable and accommodating. Amazing start to the day with coffee in the living room and great outdoor space with a fire for a cocktail before heading out for dinner. Located on a quiet residential street, with a short walk to restaurants, shops, and beaches. We will certainly be back and would highly recommend Life House.
