Photos and Description of the Polpis vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

'SUN DOG' , located at 11 Wauwinet Road, is a great little summer cottage overlooking Polpis Harbor. Built in 1977 and re-done in 1990 - continuously maintained and upgraded. 5 minute walk to harbor for swimming/kayaking or taking sailing lessons with Nantucket Community Sailing (based in Polpis Harbor). Lots of lawn, open space, views of the harbor, plus hammock, swing and porches for the evening sunsets or morning deck for breakfast. Very private and pet friendly.

Property is near shuttle bus stop on Polpis Road and the Polpis Bike Path, 5 mile drive to Nantucket, 4 mile drive to 'Sconset Village, 2 miles to various ocean or harbor beaches or Sesechacha Pond. Master bedroom has king-size bed (and TV) and overlooks harbor. Master bath has tub/shower. Second bedroom is off the dining room with built in beds and play loft above. Third bedroom is a loft up a spiral staircase above the TV room, also with built in beds. Downstairs bathroom has shower and the washer & dryer. Living room also overlooks the harbor and has large fireplace. Porch for evening sunsets is off the living room. TV room is next to living room with French doors to the back lawn. Kitchen/dining area is a few steps below with private views and back deck for meals outside or morning coffee. Great lawn area for badminton and other outside family sports. Outside shower is terrific. Owned by a local artist and his wife who lived there year-round with their children, and still live on island. Because of the play lofts and spiral staircase to third bedroom we do not suggest it is a good house for unsupervised small children. Checks or credit cards accepted.

About Eric Holch

'SUN DOG' is owned by local artist, Eric Holch, and his wife. Holch runs a gallery on the island and now lives in town year-round.

Eric Holch purchased this house in 1990
Why Eric Holch chose Polpis

Nantucket Island is a world class summer resort community and 'Sun Dog' is perfect island cottage. We keep our boats and kayaks on the beach of Polpis Harbor, just a 5 minute walk out the door. Great views and sunsets. Huge lawn with lots of privacy. Just a terrific, fun house for a summer vacation spot. We ended up living in the house year-round for 5 years with our 2 children.

What makes this house unique

Nantucket is famous for great restaurants and shopping. Mostly it's famous for 50 miles of beaches with great surfing, swimming, sailing, hiking, fishing, kayaking, bike riding, you name it. History of the island makes it a fascinating place to explore with several museums and a historic downtown. Perfect places for those rare rainy days.

Perfect Getaway

Submitted: May 2, 2011 Stayed: July 2010
Incredible Place! I've stayed in several homes on Nantucket and Sun Dog is without a doubt my favorite. Fantastic sunsets from the porch overlooking Polpis Harbor; big yard; great interior layout with lots of natural light. Sesechacha Pond and Beach are in close proximity and perfect for kids. Make sure and take advantage of a hike through the nearby natural area known as Squam Swamp.
