Beachfront Monomoy cottage near Town
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE: Wake up, enjoy the outside shower with harbor view. Eat breakfast and watch the ferry traffic through the picture windows. Walk 2 minutes down your private boardwalk to the beach, where you read, sunbathe, swim in the protected waters, or collect scallop shells.
Enjoy the king, queen, and hybrid twin/king bedrooms downstairs, or the king bed upstairs, with an additional twin bed on call if need.
Relax with friends and family in the wood-walled family room for sunset views, a game or a show.
Enjoy activities in town, disc golf, the South shore, all within 2-4 miles.
Eat and lounge at the inside or outside dining tables, on the hammock, the Adirondack chairs. Enjoy the deck just by the beach for sunbathing, reading, drinks or a meal.
Watch one of the best sunset views from the house or beach.
Enjoy an authentic beach cottage that feels like home - with many updates within the past 3 years: renovated upstairs suite and bathroom, new principal bedroom, new twin beds, new deck by the beach, freshly planted garden beds on both sides of the house, rebuilt outdoor shower.

About the host
Hosted by David Ernst
The house was built in 1957 by my grandfather Morris Leopold Ernst, one of the earliest residents of Monomoy. The house was used as a summer home by my parents, who lived overseas as diplomats. I live in the Washington, D.C. area, but have been coming to Nantucket every summer. The house is my family's base for being together with each other and friends. We enjoy sailing, surfing, kite-boarding, biking, playing cards, eating out (esp. at Black-Eyed Susan's) and being here for sunset We like being hosts and offering an authentic Nantucket experience to our guests.
Why they chose this property
Monomoy is a quiet neighborhood with no through-traffic. It is on the harbor across from town, and is close to everything.
We enjoy the sunset, being on the water, and watching the always-changing boat traffic. Being right on the harbor allows us to be in touch with the tides, wind, fog and nature - and that provides a welcome shift from our "normal" lives. Also, though "fog happens" on Nantucket, Monomoy seems to have the best weather on the island. It will often be sunny here, and foggy on the South shore beaches.

What makes this property unique
Unique attributes: 1) Monomoy location; 2) own beach with direct access; 3) authentic yet updated cottage (not a stereotypical all-white beach rental) 4) outdoor shower!; 5) sunset views !!!
