In the Spotlight: White Elephant Hotel Residences, Nantucket

The wait is over: The White Elephant Hotel Residences are open for the summer season! Located in Nantucket, the former whaling town attracts numerous visitors throughout the spring and summer with its hundreds of miles of sandy shores and top-notch dining - with fresh seafood being the specialty, of course. For families and groups visiting Nantucket, the big, luxurious one- to three-bedroom units at the White Elephant Residences are a great choice. Unlike vacation home rentals, these units - outfitted in attractive, nautical decor - come with the perks of a hotel stay, such as daily housekeeping, a seasonal outdoor pool, and a well-equipped fitness center. There's not much in terms of a communal feel, like you might find at an inn or smaller hotel, but that's part of the allure for some who seek a private, secluded vibe. As to be expected, however, privacy and luxury don't come cheap on this island. Check out more photos now!
