About this property

LUXURY OCEANFRONT ESTATE! Private beach & heated pool & hot tub. Sleeps 10!

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 III:
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!

Property gorgeous

However the new kitchen and bathrooms did not make up for the ancient furniture, old, ripped and stained linens or appliances that weren’t fully working. It’s too bad because the property is so beautiful and if owner replaced literally everything inside the house that’s not nailed down we would go back.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Aug, 2023

Hi, I politely disagree with this review. I've owned the property for 6 years and I have many long term tenants and all 5 star reviews. This house has new furniture and new linens. Kitchen and all bathrooms renovated in 2021. The heated swimming pool is brand new. This tenant was sloppy and very loud -- the neighbors even called me with a noise complaint. No other tenant has complained about this house in 6 years. I would not rent to this tenant again -- they are impossible and clearly looking for something for nothing.

Spectacular view

The property was everything it was claimed to be, stunning views, remote location, super clean and more! The pool was gorgeous, although it never got warm enough for us to swim, it was beautiful to sit around and hang out. The outdoor kitchen is spectacular and was super clean! I definitely recommend this property and hope to return again next summer! Hot tubs were beautiful and clean. Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of linens and towels. This property is very private and quiet. Plenty of parking, beautifully landscaped. Beds were super comfy. We were in whales watch III and both whales watch I and II had guests and we barely saw them. They were super nice though and we had a wonderdul vacation. The caretaker was also super helpful with any questions we had. We appreciate the attention to detail!
