We had a terrific experience at this home. The place is absolutely immaculate and as well stocked as a luxury hotel. Owners care passionately about every detail. Would highly recommend for a stay on Nantucket.
Whale of a Time on Cliff is more beautiful than the photos on the website! LOVED IT!!! The home has everything you need and it was more than comfortable for 16 people ~ we did not want to leave! The bedrooms were all very nice, top of the line furniture and decor. The house was very CLEAN, beautiful yard, patio and pool. The location is excellent, so close to the beaches and we were able to walk to town. The house is on the corner of the street but still very quiet!! The owner is very nice and very helpful. So many nice features and amenities. We cannot say anything negative about the house. We would definitely rent this home again ~ if and when we return to Nantucket!
Absolutely perfect in every way! We felt so at home in this gorgeous and very well equipped home. I can’t say enough about the quality of every single thing. From the linens to the towels. The home is stunning and gorgeous and a ton of fun. We had the best week at “whale of a time.” We can not wait to return.
The 8 bedroom, 8.5 bath house was exactly as represented on the site. Beautiful architecture and layout, spacious and wonderfully decorated. Every amenity you could wish for was provided. Wonderful linens and towels, fully equipped kitchen, great heated pool and yard, comfortable furniture everywhere. Caryn the owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. She purchased some handicap items that helped to make my accommodations more accessible, answered every question promptly, returned deposit immediately. A real pleasure to do business with. The family loved every minute of a 5 day stay. Hardly left the house. All the college kids enjoyed the bunk rooms and entertainment area. Even the weather cooperated over a Memorial Day period! Suntans for all! Caryn recommended masseuses and a photographer. A memorable reunion!
We have had the most fabulous weekend in Nantucket. This home is remarkable and what’s more, embodies the discription, “home away from home”. Every detail was meticulously tended to, every need accounted for and beauty abounds in every square inch of this lovely home. The home was pristine clean and provides incredibly comfortable beds, linens and pillows for luxurious restful sleep. The kitchen was fully equipped for the most decerning gourmet. We could go on and on! We cannot wait for our next visit.
Great Location! This magnificent Nantucket home has it all! The location is outstanding. You can walk to the beach and to town. The interior is meticulous and is like staying at a five-star hotel. The kitchen and home layout are perfect for entertaining and vacationing, and with enough privacy for families and guests. There is plenty of room to bring your own cook and/or nanny, arrange for a private chef, or catering. The lower level is amazing. The owners are gracious, helpful, and responsive. They have thought of everything! Family and friends will enjoy the heated pool and the gas fire pit. Everyone will definitely have a Whale of a Time!
My family just returned from a terrific week in Nantucket and the vacation was made even more enjoyable because of the house we stayed in. In addition to my wife and I, also staying at the house were 2 of our married children (with spouses), 4 grandchildren under the age of 7, 2 nannies and my son-in-law's parents and the 8 bedroom, 8-1/2 bath house was more than spacious enough for all of us. The house is beautifully furnished (which the slide shows illustrates) and fully (actually more than fully) appointed (which the slide show cannot possibly portray). For our family, there was everything one could want - from cooking utensils to appliances, place settings ranging from plasticware for the kids to beautiful china. There were games for the family, books for the kids, pool toys, beach chairs, pool/beach towels aplenty - everything one would want for a stay on the island. In addition to the condition and ideal location of the house, the owner (Caryn) is an incredibly thoughtful hostess. When I called her to let her know that we found 2 bags of Scrabble tiles but no Scrabble Board, and wondered if they were kept elsewhere, her response was to provide 2 new Scrabble games and a Scrabble Junior game at our doorstep within an hour. When she saw our young grandchildren, Caryn, without saying anything, sent us 2 step stools, via Amazon, so they could more easily reach the bathroom sinks. Throughout our stay, she texted me, asking if there was anything else we needed and wanted to make sure all was good. I don't know where anyone could find a better combination of beautiful accommodations and thoughtful hostess than this property. As you can tell, I recommend this property as highly as I can.
This is an incredibly well thought out house and the owners really care about your comfort. We have traveled extensively and stayed in some very nice properties across the world and this is one of the best weeks we have ever had. It is close enough to town and the beach that you can walk and that makes it very convenient. But the house itself is beyond reproach. Every little detail has been considered by the owners and they have obviously equipped it to make their guests comfortable. From buckets and shovels for the kids at the beach to high quality home appliances, they have anticipated every need and have equipped the house accordingly. The pictures depict this house exactly as it is, there are no surprises and it is like a new home. If cleanliness is an issue for you, this is your place; the condition of this house upon our arrival was pristine and the fresh flowers on the table were an unnecessary but greatly appreciated bonus. The beds and linens are all first class in comfort and the house is equipped with towels for the bathrooms but also for the beach and pool. The pool is heated and comes with plenty of toys and recliners to entertain every need. Our extended family stayed here with six adult couples each handling a dinner. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped for most cooks including the two gourmet cooks that we had with us. And the two dishwashers facilitated our home eating habits. Grilling? The house has a huge Weber grille and plenty of seating in the pool area or sit and relax around the fire pit and enjoy a cocktail. Downstairs there is a great bunk setup for the kids and a media room and pool table for them to enjoy. We spent some time at the beach and the chairs, boogie boards and other beach equipment (including beach carts) provided by the owners was very helpful in making our stay easy. Each bedroom comes with it's own bathroom and they are all furnished with soap, shampoo, conditioner and other bathroom goodies like a first class hotel. Everyone in our family was talking about how nice this home was and what a great stay we had at Whale of a Time in nantucket. Try it, you will not be disappointed, it is well worth the price!
Extraordinary house. Perfect in every way.
This new property has anything that anyone could ever wish for. The owners are very accommodating, and the attention to detail is fantastic.
