I am the owner of all three houses. They were built in the 1980s and I purchased them in 2016. I've since done some serious renovations and upgrades to all of them that I'm sure you will enjoy. New floors, bedding, linens, furniture, state-of-the-art appliances, etc. I can send updated photos and videos upon request.
I will be your direct contact for booking -- then once booked, I will connect you with my Caretaker, who can arrange groceries, bicycle rentals, reservations etc.! We will ensure you have a fantastic experience!
*Unfortunately, due to some wedding and event planners holding excessively loud unauthorized events at Whales Watch -- in June 2022, I agreed to a zoning change (deed restriction) for Whales Watch. Weddings and events are now 100% prohibited. We focus solely on residential family vacations. I want to make sure Whales Watch is preserved as a quiet relaxing oasis for my family and your family to vacation for many decades to come!
Folks … this is hands down the best view on the island ! No comparison !! It is a dream. Ok … the kitchen equipment is a bit of a mish mash and the appliances are not all super luxury but that does not matter at all !! If you walk up those stairs of the upside down house in Whalewatch I and you see the ocean terrace it will blow you away ! The most beautiful location for a property on Nantucket I have ever seen. It is magnificent !! Thank you Michael, we hope to come back next year !
We have been coming to Nantucket for 12 years, 7 of which are at this property - this is our favorite spot on the island! This location is perfectly secluded from the hustle of the crowds, but only a 10 min drive to town for dinner out. The views of the ocean are some of the best on the island. The new property owner has made a lot of updates to the house every offseason with new windows, doors, bedding, and mattresses plus some really well-done painting, couches, lighting and decor. The house is spacious with plenty of room for large families and their guests. There are three full bathrooms on the first floor and 4th full bathroom on the second floor which has been completely updated. There is also an outdoor shower which is a great way to rinse off post-beach. All bedrooms are on the first floor but are spaced out such that no one is on top of one another. The property manager is extremely responsive and friendly, making sure everything needed is in place. The hot tub, added in 2018, is a nice retreat post-beach to unwind. We enjoy breakfasts on the deck, lazy days at the beach or biking on the trails, and grilling in the evening as the sunsets, watching from the deck. Everywhere you look in this house, there are views of the ocean or Tom Nevers Pond. At night, the stars are incredible! We look forward to returning!
For 13 people, ages 9-79, 7 adults 6 youth, this was really as good as we could have asked for. Well located for us. The house was equipped with all the necessary amenities, everything worked well, the place was quite clean, lawn well cared for, etc. The owner was quite considerate and answered our questions if possible.
