Find Cheap Hotels in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Nantucket is a small collection of islands off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. Three smaller islands form the town and county of Nantucket: Nantucket, Tuckernuck and Muskeget. Nantucket was once a world center of the whaling industry. After the decline of the local whale population, however, most whalers left. In the 1950s, developers bought much of the land with the intent of building summer homes for the rich. Luckily, you don't need to be rich to visit.
