How to Spend a Nantucket Weekend Like Hollis Shaw in The Five Star Weekend
The guide pairs island dining, bike rides and beach stops with filming details from the Peacock adaptation starring Jennifer Garner.
Peacock's new series The Five-Star Weekend adapts Elin Hilderbrand's hit 2023 novel, starring Jennifer Garner as food influencer Hollis Shaw in an eight-episode adaptation.
Production teams combined two locations to create Hollis's dream home, filming exteriors at a private estate on Eel Point Road in the Dionis neighborhood while recreating interiors on a Los Angeles soundstage.
Elin Hilderbrand suggests coastal homes are "almost always blue and white," often sourcing decor from HomeGoods in Hyannis, Massachusetts to achieve the aesthetic.
With more than 35 miles of mostly flat bike paths, Nantucket is made for exploring downtown cobblestone streets past Mitchell Bookstore and Brant Point Lighthouse.
Cru offers waterfront dining overlooking Nantucket Harbor where diners linger over meals, while Wicked Island Bakery provides famous morning buns, capturing the island experience that inspired Hilderbrand's novel.
