About this house rental
We specialize in family vacation rentals and residential stays of 7 nights or more. We have many wonderful families who have come to Whales Watch for 1 to 4 weeks for decades for their annual Nantucket family vacation. We hope you choose to become part of the Whales Watch Family!
Many consider Whales Watch to have the best ocean views on Nantucket.
Since June 2022, we do not allow weddings or events. Whales Watch resides in a quiet residential neighborhood (please see below for details).*
Please message for pictures of new large heated swimming pool (20 feet by 40 feet) and three hot tubs! There are four fire pits & four outdoor showers as well. Brand new teak pool furniture with navy cushions on the pool deck.
This listing is for Whales Watch I::
Whales Watch I -- 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms; sleeps 20
Whales Watch II -- 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms; sleeps 12
Whales Watch III -- 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms; sleeps 10.
All 3 houses are available to rent separately or together!
VIP RETURN GUESTS -- receive preferred rates and off-season VIP specials. Whales Watch is beautiful year round!
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!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The property and view were absolutely amazing! The house had a few hiccups but it wasn’t anything that phased us too much. The property manager was extremely attentive and helpful. We lost our luggage the first night and she got us everything we needed for our baby while she was also working her
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2024
We had four generations staying at Whale Watch 3. The location and views are amazing. Easy access to the beach was great. Communication with property management staff was prompt and they answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2024
Whales Watch is incredible. The property, the view, the pool, the hot tub, the amenities overall were awesome and top notch. We were here as a 15 person family group and Whales Watch 1 accommodated everyone very comfortably. The ocean views from the porch, lawn, hot tub and fire pit were beautiful. Michael was the most accommodating host I’ve encountered on our VRBO stays, even offering to accommodate us when we almost got stuck an extra night when weather forced some ferries to cancel. He couldn’t have been more gracious. The next time we come back to Nantucket we will definitely try and stay here again - we have become spoiled and can’t imagine a better home:)

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!
