About the host

Hosted by David Ernst

Host profile image
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 !!!
