Boston investors paid $10 million for the compound in 2021 and reopened it as The Brant: 26 individually designed rooms plus a new barn that now holds the lobby and lounge.

History
The Brant occupies a trio of shingled houses built in a convincing 17th-century-replica style in Nantucket's leafy Brant Point neighborhood. The property was formerly the Brant Point Inn, which Pete and Thea Kaizer began building themselves during the winter of 1985 with the help of Pete's commercial fishing buddies, running it as a family lodging house for decades.
In 2021 the Kaizers sold the three buildings on North Beach Street and Dolphin Court for $10 million to a Boston-based investment group (Anchor Line Partners and Nauset Strategies), who renovated and expanded the property, added a barn housing a lobby and lounge, and rebranded it as The Brant. Reopened as a luxury boutique inn, it offers 26 individually designed guest rooms blending contemporary design with Nantucket's decorative heritage, with a pool planned for the 2025 season.
The setting
The Brant sits on the north side of Nantucket Town, in the shingled houses of Brant Point along North Beach Street and Dolphin Court. The Whaling Museum, the Atheneum, and Brant Point are the walking map. Sleep on the water if the ferry lights are the lullaby; a block inland is quieter with the same walk to dinner.
