Jennifer Garner filmed on Nantucket: the real locations of The Five-Star Weekend

The emotional centre of the show – and the most specific fictional address in the series – is 'Sconset, the abbreviated local name for Siasconset, a village on Nantucket's eastern tip. Population: a few hundred. 

Hollis's beach house is located in 'Sconset in the story, and the exterior was filmed on location in Nantucket – specifically on Eel Point Road and Wauwiner Road, where waterfront estates provided the right scale and setting. The interior of the beach house, however, was built on a soundstage in Los Angeles. Production filmed on Nantucket for three weeks, capturing the island's authentic atmosphere before returning to California to build the world inside Hollis's house.

Siasconset Village itself appears in Episode 3, when the women do a little retail therapy and head to a spa. Exterior shots were filmed on the island. The interiors of the spa and the stores were recreated on a soundstage.

On September 22, 2025, several hundred people gathered on Main Street in downtown Nantucket to watch Garner, Hall, Sevigny, Chan and Carden film scenes in the Main Street area. Brunstetter told the Nantucket Current that they shot scenes on Main Street, at Bartlett’s Farm and outside of Cru, a popular seafood restaurant.

Cast and crew were working the historic Main street. There are no neon signs here. No modern franchises. No contemporary architecture interrupting the streetscape. Downtown Nantucket looks as it did two hundred years ago, and local ordinance ensures it stays that way.

Centre Street also features as a filming location – lined with luxury boutiques, art galleries, fine dining and beautifully preserved architecture. The Nantucket Boat Basin and the Wharves, where ferries and yachts come and go, served as backdrops for harbour-side scenes. Straight Wharf, where you step off the ferry directly into the island's commercial life, is the entry point the show uses to establish where Hollis's world is located.

CRU Oyster Bar at 1 Straight Wharf is one of the series' most specific real-world references. The oceanfront restaurant is mentioned in Episode 1 and used for a dining scene in Episode 5. The exterior was filmed on location. The interior dinner scene was recreated on a soundstage in Los Angeles.

Wicked Island Bakery at 7B Bayberry Court features in the series – its exterior shot on the island, its interior recreated elsewhere. Bartlett's Farm, described as the largest family-owned and operated farm on Nantucket and the definition of farm-to-table, also appears. 

In Episode 4, Hollis and her friends head to The Roadhouse – a legendary Nantucket dive bar known for live music. It's their Saturday night on the island, and the scene was filmed on location. Stubby's, a diner at 8 Broad Street, is referenced in Episode 8, with Timothy Olyphant's character Jack mentioning it by name.

Okay, not everything was on Nantucket. The tennis court scenes in Episode 6 were filmed at a private club across the sound on Cape Cod – technically the mainland, though barely.
