Delano Homestead has an amazing history, which we were unaware of until we arrived. It is a charming house, decorated with respect to it's age , yet providing every modern convenience. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice and something to suit everyone. Tracy the housekeeper made us feel very welcome and could not have done more to make us feel at home.

“We were there to take a day trip to Nantucket. The Delano Homestead enhanced the overall experience.”
Excellent, personable hosts in Paul and Tracey. Characterful property with fascinating history - such a contrast to the anodyne chain hotels. Good food. Plenty of on-road parking.

“A lovely, comfortable property in a quiet part of town where we were made most welcome.”
Paul gave us a very warm welcome when we arrived at his beautiful home and he and Tracey were attentive hosts during our stay. The room was very comfortable and we had our own bathroom just along the corridor. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Excellent breakfast offered at a time of our choosing. Options for cold or cooked and plenty of choice. It was nice to meet and eat with other guests.

“Wonderful moments spent in historic home with traditional, welcoming ambiance.”
It is hard to list all of the things that we liked, rather loved, about this B&B! The style, the attention to detail and the quality of the furnishings that Paul has assembled in this historic home, the wonderful breakfast that Sharyn put together and her charm, and the chance to walk around this interesting neighborhood would top the list. This really is a special place, and not to be missed if you are in the area.

“Super comfy historic house - highly recommended.”
A truly historic house once owned by the family of a former US President. The owner has preserved the property with full respect to this, whilst offering accommodation that is super comfortable, clean, and with everything the customer needs. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious.

It was really interesting learning about the Delano connection to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the historical records and photos were a bonus. Staying in a historic mansion is really special. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and our new hostess was very helpful. It was not too far from the ferry terminal to Martha's Vineyard by uber. Walking around the little town of Fairhaven was very memorable.

We had two perfect days / nights at Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast. Our hosts Paul and Sharyn fulfilled our every wish. The house and our room were tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We had delicious breakfast and even had very special guests in the garden one morning: turkeys! We would travel to Fairhaven again at any time and can recommend the Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast! Thank you Sharyn and Paul for this great time with you. See you soon (hopefully)
