Nantucket, MA� Nantucket doesn�t just have to be the playground of millionaires this summer. Several of the island�s most popular hotels still have rooms available during the months of July and August, and for prices that won�t break the bank! Three members of the prestigious Nantucket Island Resorts portfolio � Jared Coffin House, The Cottages at the Boat Basin, and Harbor House Village � are all offering amazing wallet-friendly summertime rates during Nantucket�s busiest (and often most expensive) season.
� Jared Coffin House Throughout July and August, rooms at Jared Coffin House can be had at a starting rate of $155 per night. To help celebrate the historic landmark�s fresh new look, the hotel is offering a special Summer Extend Your Stay. Guests who stay a minimum of two nights can plan to come a few days earlier or stay later for only $99 per room, per night (Sunday-Thursday) and $179 per room, per night (Friday and Saturday). Located in the heart of the Old Historic District, the newly refurbished 43-room Jared Coffin House is just steps away from Nantucket�s Main Street. All guest rooms are furnished with antiques and period reproductions as well as modern amenities. For information and reservations, call toll-free 1-800-248-2405, or visit www.jaredcoffinhouse.com.
� The Cottages at the Boat Basin Throughout July and August, guests can enjoy the closest experience to living on a boat without getting wet (or sea sick!) at The Cottages at the Boat Basin, with rates starting at $320 per night. Consisting of 24 newly renovated and refurbished studio, one-, two-, or three-bedroom cottages, The Cottages at the Boat Basin are in the heart of Nantucket Town, with waterfront or water view locations on the docks of Swain�s Wharf and Old South Wharf. Each unit features newly-painted, buttercup walls with white wainscoting and large windows dressed with white wooden Hunter Douglas shades trimmed with navy blue ribbon. Nantucket�s own Claire Murray hand-hooked rugs with colorful New England motifs create an inviting entranceway. New, comfy, Sealy pillow-top mattresses, supple Thierry Thiebault French bed linens, and stylish furniture round out the improvement. Accommodating up to eight guests, the Cottages are ideal for families and, in designated �Woof� cottages, even for travelers with pets. For further information and reservations call toll-free 1-866-838-9253, or visit www.thecottagesnantucket.com.
� Harbor House Village- In late July (23-25) and during select dates in August (24-31), Harbor House Village is offering unbelievable rates on select dates with rates starting at $195 per room, per night. Situated just minutes from shops, restaurants, and cultural activities, Harbor House Village is a charming collection of 104 guest accommodations, including the historic Harbor House, the family-friendly Village Houses, and the more intimate Springfield House. For those still trying to plan a fun family getaway, the hotel offers ideal accommodations for all generations. The outdoor heated swimming pool is always a favorite among kids, and child-friendly beaches are just steps away. The hotel even offers complimentary �Pack and Plays� and can arrange baby-sitting for parents who crave some alone time.
