About this property

LUXURY OCEANFRONT ESTATE! Private beach & heated pool & hot tub. Sleeps 12!

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 II:
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!

Nantucket beachfront escape with expansive ocean views

We stayed in this large Nantucket cliffside house with our three adult children and we all loved it. Perfect location facing southeast but with views also to the west above Tom Nevers Beach. Amazing vistas of th ocean, sunsets and rising moon. Lovely sunny upper floor living area with 360 degree windows, a large ocean facing deck and comfortable sitting and dining areas with a modern open kitchen. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms renovated. Perfect vacation home above the sea.

Amazing property and location

Whales Watch II is a must. The property is superb. Many nice upgraded baths and kitchen. Bedrooms were so comfortable. It is 15 minutes to anything - town, Sconset market, Bartlett Farms, grocery shopping not in town, major workout cycling /boot camp gyms. Beach is amazing. Pool is amazing. Must stay!

Best views

Best view we have ever had! Huge lovely private beach right out front. Hot tub overlooking the ocean was a hit for everyone. As was the huge yard in front. Very nice pool and pool furniture. House was a little dated, but we rented for the location and were not disappointed. Owner very responsive.
