Thirty miles off the coast of Cape Cod, and an hour by high-speed ferry from Hyannis, Mass., lies the intimate island of Nantucket. Within steps of the historic center of its cobblestoned streets awaits the White Elephant, consisting of 52 guest rooms and 11 garden cottages in the intimate hotel, and one- to three-bedroom "homes" in its special Residences.

The main hotel features a cozy library, relaxing spa, dining room overlooking the Nantucket Harbor, and a grand harborside lawn. The residences feature one- to three-bedroom "cottages," complete with front porches, in-room fireplaces, SubZero kitchens, dining areas, and special concierge service. These are not to be confused with the hotel's "cottages," which also feature one- to three-bedroom accommodations.

Whether staying in the hotel or the residences, families can truly enjoy the essence of Nantucket charm. Days will be spent riding bicycles around the island, lounging on Brant Point or Children's beaches, eating homemade ice cream, sailing in the sound, and sitting on the front porch and watching the fog roll in. It's a quiet vacation, set amidst the luxury of the White Elephant.
