Enjoy our great family vacation home - The ''PoorHouse''. For over 50 years the Poor family has enjoyed regular visits and family reunions on Nantucket. Message us for our special insider hints on how best to enjoy Nantucket, just as if you, too, have been coming for decades.

Our historic house is in a very quiet neighborhood in town, but just a short 10 minute walk to the bottom of Main Street and all the activity ''downtown'', and an easy bike ride on dedicated paths to beaches. There are four bedrooms and three baths, for up to eight guests. There is a large fenced-in yard - great for children and well behaved dogs, and conservation land right across the street. You'll find everything you need for a wonderful visit - linens, beach towels, washer/dryer, gas grill, cable, and super high speed wi-fi. The recently renovated kitchen is large and comfortably well-appointed. The house is heated for your comfort in chilly weather, with fireplaces downstairs for a warm welcome on a cold day, and equipped with window air conditioning in the summer season.

The PoorHouse is perfect for a long weekend or week or more to create perfect memories. If you are visiting Nantucket for one of the many festivals that take place during the shoulder season (including the Daffodil Weekend, the Film, Dance, Book, Wine and Fall Festivals, and Christmas Stroll), or are part of a wedding celebration or reunion, our house is a perfect base of operations. You will have easy access to all the activity, and yet be able to retreat to your quiet home for a much needed break.

With advanced notice, we can help you with special arrangements for airport and boat pick-up, golfing, sailing, tennis, a clambake, a fishing trip, catering for a special event...or almost anything you could imagine doing on Nantucket.

Note: Initial 25% deposit is non-refundable. 75% balance is due 30 days before first day of rental period. VRBO will hold $750 security deposit in escrow account. Security deposit is returned to renter within 14 days after lease period ends, provided house is in same condition existing upon renter's arrival.

    My family and I stayed here for five wonderful nights. It is an amazing location. Walkable to town, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. The house is absolutely beautiful. Everything is so nicely updated. The owners were there for anything I needed at any time. We could not have asked for a better place to stay during our vacation. The house is so clean and so well equipped. If we are ever in Nantucket again, we will definitely be looking to return to the same place!

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Poor House and already can’t wait to go back next year. The house is located a quick 15 minute walk from town, with access to many biking / running trails. Our favorite part of the house was the giant backyard. We also appreciated how well stocked it was (great cooking utensils, linens, beach gear, etc) - it’s clear that the Poors take real pride in the house! It feels more like a home than a vacation rental. Highly recommend!

    We have been coming to Nantucket for over 20 years and this is one of the nicest homes we have rented. The location is walking distance to town and close to the bike paths leading to Cisco and Surfside. The enclosed yard is huge and the house is historic and beautiful, extremely well stocked and clean. Wish we could have stayed longer. Mary & George

    The Poore house was perfect for our friends getaway to Nantucket. The host was great and the home was very clean. The history was also very cool. We loved being able to walk and bike to town from this location. We will definitely want to come back!

    Beautiful historic home and property! David & Pat could not have been nicer! How wonderful for us to arrive at the house to find a lovely 'Welcome Bag' with all kinds of yummy treats too. Thank you again :)

    My family stayed and at the PoorHouse over Christmas Stroll weekend. First of all, the communication and organization of Pat and David, was by far, the best of any owner we have worked with in the past. Having owners who care about their guests makes a trip so much less stressful. Secondly, the home oozes with history yet has today's amenities (best of both worlds). It is a very short/pleasurable walk to town, has a big yard, is on a quiet street and is also close to out-of-town amenities/attractions. My family enjoyed our stay and would recommend the PoorHouse to anyone. Thanks Pat & David!

    The house was in a perfect location for walking to town, or getting anywhere on island, was immaculately clean, and had every amenity we could have needed. We felt comfortable and at home. David and Pat were wonderful hosts. Quick to respond, helpful and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back and stay again.

    We spent our anniversary weekend with two other couples also celebrating anniversaries at the Poor House. We were greeted with a lovely tote bag filled with maps of the island and points of interest, a bottle of wine, granola, chocolate covered cranberries, tea, and coffee! Such a thoughtful touch! The home is charming and old Nantucket right on the outskirts of the downtown area. We had everything we needed! Our only issue was the lock box to get into the house. That was a bit challenging to open, but once we got it opened we were all set! We all agreed that we would love to spend more time at the Poor house in the future!
