Fodor's Expert Review Winnetu Oceanside Resort
31 Dunes Rd., Massachusetts, 02539, USA Fodor's Choice
A departure from most properties on the island, the contemporary Winnetu—styled after the grand multistory resorts of the Gilded Age—has successfully struck a fine balance in that it both encourages families and provides a contemporary seaside-resort experience for couples. In addition to options in the main inn, which all have kitchens and decks or patios with views of gardens, the two pools (and hot tub), or of the Atlantic, there are 68 three- to five-bedroom homes available to rent by the week; it's a great option for large families, and all resort amenities are shared.
PROS
- a full slate of excellent children's programs offered late June–early September
- resort arranges bicycling and kayaking trips, lighthouse tours, boat excursions to Nantucket Island, and other island activities
- fantastic restaurant
CONS
- not an in-town location
- lots of kids in summer
- books up quickly
