Overview
Polpis offers a quiet, residential atmosphere with excellent water access through Polpis Harbor. This area features a mix of waterfront properties, homes with water views, and inland residences, all benefiting from the peaceful, natural setting. The rural character of Polpis speaks to its proud farming past—working cranberry bogs keep agrarian traditions alive, especially colorful in mid-October during harvest season.
Protected Polpis Harbor is a haven for sailing or quiet contemplation, with its picturesque, rustic qualities making Polpis a favored spot for Nantucket artists for centuries. The harbor provides excellent boating opportunities and kayaking in calm waters, while the area's location offers easy access to both downtown (2-4 miles) and the eastern end of the island via the Polpis bike path. The area features notable attractions including the Nantucket Life-Saving Museum, Windswept Cranberry Bog (205 acres of conservation land with miles of trails), and Reyes Pond—a beautiful 16-acre hike through wetlands offering views of Altar Rock, one of the highest elevations on Nantucket.
Polpis appeals to those seeking a quieter lifestyle with water access, good value compared to more central areas, and a sense of being away from the hustle while remaining convenient to island amenities. The rolling moors and larger parcels of land offer privacy and lots of space to explore, with properties ranging from modest cottages to substantial waterfront homes. The area's artistic heritage and natural beauty create a unique residential experience that combines rural charm with water access.
