The house was wonderful! There was everything you might need for a family in this house. The pool is heated, lots of pool toys and lots of beach gear. We cooked in many nights and the kitchen is very well equipped. The interior is luxurious. We had the best time at Whale of a Time.

Our stat at this property was beyond compare! The host has this home perfectly set up. No detail has gone overlooked. Not only was the host incredibly friendly and easy to deal with - everyone they introduced us to on the island from the cleaning staff to the chefs were 10/10. Couldn’t rate this any higher!!

Stunningly beautiful and incredibly comfortable
This house was so wonderful it made our vacation totally enjoyable. We were 18 people -- children of all ages to adults of all ages. This home perfectly accommodated us with beds to spare. Everyone had a lovely place to sleep -- most had a spacious classy private room with an elegant bathroom. Others slept together with super cool bunk beds. Plenty of room to gather. The house is equipped with everything and anything you could want.
If you have a large group that enjoys being together -- yet having private time -- this is the house for you.

Our stay at Whale of a Time was nothing but perfect. Caryn made the arrival process so easy and helped us to arrange for grocery delivery, chef, and housekeeping services all prior to our arrival. We had adults and kids of all ages in our party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the home. The location of the home was great, walking distance into town and the beach. We highly recommend staying at Whale of a Time.

We had a group of 10 for a little winter retreat. The home was immaculate! It was more beautiful than the pictures. Caryn was there for anything we needed, although the house didn’t miss a thing. We hope to come back soon!

We had a "Whale of a Time" in this gorgeous Nantucket rental. We had 15 adults in the house and it was just perfect. The home was pristine and beautifully laid out. We never felt crowded. It was wonderful to meet the homeowner during the check in process. She was a fantastic communicator and resource for caterers, concierge services, restaurants, things to do, etc. I highly recommend this Nantucket rental!!!

WE LOVED IT!!!
On a scale of one to five - Cliff Whale is a ten!! The property is beautiful and centrally located, but that wasn't the best part. The first best part is the accessibility of Caryn, who greeted us with flowers, a fruit basket, and a booklet that answered every possible question. If we did have a question, she never kept us waiting more than five minutes to reply about everything from where are the bandaids to how to work the can opener. The second best part is that there is nothing missing from this house - from Restoration Hardware linens that look like they've never been previously opened, to anything you might need in a well-stocked Williams Sanoma kitchen. All 17 of us would return tomorrow if we could.

Everything and More!
Whale of a Time on Cliff is more beautiful than the photos on the website! LOVED IT!!! The home has everything you need and it was more than comfortable for 16 people ~ we did not want to leave! The bedrooms were all very nice, top of the line furniture and decor. The house was very CLEAN, beautiful yard, patio and pool. The location is excellent, so close to the beaches and we were able to walk to town. The house is on the corner of the street but still very quiet!! The owner is very nice and very helpful. So many nice features and amenities. We cannot say anything negative about the house. We would definitely rent this home again ~ if and when we return to Nantucket!

Absolutely perfect in every way! We felt so at home in this gorgeous and very well equipped home. I can’t say enough about the quality of every single thing. From the linens to the towels. The home is stunning and gorgeous and a ton of fun. We had the best week at “whale of a time.” We can not wait to return.

Family celebration of 85th birthday
The 8 bedroom, 8.5 bath house was exactly as represented on the site. Beautiful architecture and layout, spacious and wonderfully decorated. Every amenity you could wish for was provided. Wonderful linens and towels, fully equipped kitchen, great heated pool and yard, comfortable furniture everywhere. Caryn the owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. She purchased some handicap items that helped to make my accommodations more accessible, answered every question promptly, returned deposit immediately. A real pleasure to do business with. The family loved every minute of a 5 day stay. Hardly left the house. All the college kids enjoyed the bunk rooms and entertainment area. Even the weather cooperated over a Memorial Day period! Suntans for all! Caryn recommended masseuses and a photographer. A memorable reunion!

We have had the most fabulous weekend in Nantucket. This home is remarkable and what’s more, embodies the discription, “home away from home”. Every detail was meticulously tended to, every need accounted for and beauty abounds in every square inch of this lovely home. The home was pristine clean and provides incredibly comfortable beds, linens and pillows for luxurious restful sleep. The kitchen was fully equipped for the most decerning gourmet. We could go on and on! We cannot wait for our next visit.

Great Location!
This magnificent Nantucket home has it all! The location is outstanding. You can walk to the beach and to town. The interior is meticulous and is like staying at a five-star hotel. The kitchen and home layout are perfect for entertaining and vacationing, and with enough privacy for families and guests.
There is plenty of room to bring your own cook and/or nanny, arrange for a private chef, or catering. The lower level is amazing.
The owners are gracious, helpful, and responsive. They have thought of everything! Family and friends will enjoy the heated pool and the gas fire pit. Everyone will definitely have a "Whale of a Time!"

My family just returned from a terrific week in Nantucket and the vacation was made even more enjoyable because of the house we stayed in.
In addition to my wife and I, also staying at the house were 2 of our married children (with spouses), 4 grandchildren under the age of 7, 2 nannies and my son-in-law's parents and the 8 bedroom, 8-1/2 bath house was more than spacious enough for all of us. The house is beautifully furnished (which the slide shows illustrates) and fully (actually more than fully) appointed (which the slide show cannot possibly portray). For our family, there was everything one could want - from cooking utensils to appliances, place settings ranging from plasticware for the kids to beautiful china. There were games for the family, books for the kids, pool toys, beach chairs, pool/beach towels aplenty - everything one would want for a stay on the island.
In addition to the condition and ideal location of the house, the owner (Caryn) is an incredibly thoughtful hostess. When I called her to let her know that we found 2 bags of Scrabble tiles but no Scrabble Board, and wondered if they were kept elsewhere, her response was to provide 2 new Scrabble games and a Scrabble Junior game at our doorstep within an hour. When she saw our young grandchildren, Caryn, without saying anything, sent us 2 step stools, via Amazon, so they could more easily reach the bathroom sinks. Throughout our stay, she texted me, asking if there was anything else we needed and wanted to make sure all was good.
I don't know where anyone could find a better combination of beautiful accommodations and thoughtful hostess than this property. As you can tell, I recommend this property as highly as I can.

This is an incredibly well thought out house and the owners really care about your comfort. We have traveled extensively and stayed in some very nice properties across the world and this is one of the best weeks we have ever had.
It is close enough to town and the beach that you can walk and that makes it very convenient. But the house itself is beyond reproach. Every little detail has been considered by the owners and they have obviously equipped it to make their guests comfortable. From buckets and shovels for the kids at the beach to high quality home appliances, they have anticipated every need and have equipped the house accordingly.
The pictures depict this house exactly as it is, there are no surprises and it is like a new home. If cleanliness is an issue for you, this is your place; the condition of this house upon our arrival was pristine and the fresh flowers on the table were an unnecessary but greatly appreciated bonus. The beds and linens are all first class in comfort and the house is equipped with towels for the bathrooms but also for the beach and pool. The pool is heated and comes with plenty of toys and recliners to entertain every need.
Our extended family stayed here with six adult couples each handling a dinner. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped for most cooks including the two gourmet cooks that we had with us. And the two dishwashers facilitated our home eating habits. Grilling? The house has a huge Weber grille and plenty of seating in the pool area or sit and relax around the fire pit and enjoy a cocktail.
Downstairs there is a great bunk setup for the kids and a media room and pool table for them to enjoy. We spent some time at the beach and the chairs, boogie boards and other beach equipment (including beach carts) provided by the owners was very helpful in making our stay easy.
Each bedroom comes with it's own bathroom and they are all furnished with soap, shampoo, conditioner and other bathroom "goodies" like a first class hotel. Everyone in our family was talking about how nice this home was and what a great stay we had at "Whale of a Time" in nantucket. Try it, you will not be disappointed, it is well worth the price!

Better than a luxury hotel!
We stayed at the Cliff property this August with our family and friends. From the moment we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the number and quality of amenities. Walkable from the docks but located away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, the owners have thought of EVERYTHING! Beautifully appointed, the space is maximized to accommodate a number of guests comfortably - the kids especially enjoyed the two bunk rooms and media room downstairs. The kitchen was stocked with every staple you'd need to make a gourmet dinner. The beds were comfortable with lovely linens. Although we didn't have the best weather, we spent countless hours in the pool completely relaxed, soaking in the well manicured surroundings. Well worth every penny.

Fabulous experience!!
My large family enjoyed a week at this idyllic home. Perfect location with easy walk both to town and to several beaches. Bike path a block away. Stunning high-end home with attentive owners and everything you can think of included in the house (and beach chairs/towels/umbrellas as well). The pool is icing on cake after a long day out. Simply an ideal home on Nantucket!
