About this property
Beachfront Monomoy cottage near Town
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE: Wake up, enjoy the outside shower with harbor view. Eat breakfast and watch Town beginning to wake up. 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 or catch up 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, or the Adirondack chairs.
Watch one of the best sunset views from the house or beach.
Enjoy an updated-but-authentic beach cottage that feels like home.
Enjoy a day in paradise; sleep with the harbor breeze; wake up in paradise and do it again!
HOUSE LAYOUT: The first floor of the house has an open floor plan including kitchen, dining and living areas great for entertaining, quiet evenings or family time. There are 3 bedrooms full of sunlight and ample closet and dresser space. They include a large principal bedroom with a King bed, a 2d bedroom with a queen bed, and a 3d bedroom with 2 twin beds combinable into a king. There are two full baths downstairs - one shared between the king and queen rooms, and one dedicated to the twin room. All beds, linens and towels are new.
The kitchen is well equipped with cast iron and new Green Pan cookware, serving dishes, and appliances including a blender, wafflemaker, top of the line toaster oven, and more. The walls throughout are wood-paneled with a unique, beautiful, luan. The floors are all wide board oak.
The second floor has an open floor plan with a king bed, a sitting area and full bathroom. It is accessed by an outside staircase. The interior has been freshly painted, and has comfortable furniture and carpets over a warm maple floor. The views from the second floor - harbor and town - are very special.
The outdoor shower is newly built in 2025, with a perfect harbor view. A Weber gas grill is available for your BBQing needs.
Beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, and towels are provided.
There is a private boardwalk leading to the harbor beach, just steps from the house.

About the host
Hosted by David Ernst
The house was built in 1957 by my grandfather Morris, who lived next door and who was an early resident 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 to Nantucket every summer. The house is my family's base for being together with each other and friends. We enjoy sailing, surfing, biking, playing cards, eating (esp.at Black-Eyed Susan's). 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.

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