The Veranda House | www.theverandahouse.com

Just steps away from pristine beaches, gourmet restaurants, and quaint shops lies Nantucket's iconic Veranda House. Originally built in 1684 as a secluded family residence, the home's three wraparound porches welcome incoming ferry passengers to the island and offer unrivaled shoreline views. Just as the structure was reinvented as an inn in 1882, I have been helping to guide the Veranda House through another transformation for the past year. When the bed and breakfast re-opens its doors to guests on May 15, it will have a hip, modern feel that represents a departure from the traditional Nantucket style.
