About this property

Monomoy Harbor Beachfront - Great Views, Sunsets, Stars, Walk Or Bike To Town!

This centrally located, family-friendly beachfront cottage has unique access to the Nantucket Harbor, beaches, town and an abundance of recreational activities. Private path leads you to miles of beach and water activities.

The property is on a quiet street, enclosed by privet, mature trees and flowering plants. The sunny harbor side of the house has a large private yard and features splendid views across the Nantucket Harbor filled with boats, the town of Nantucket, Brant Point and Coatue. It is just steps down a mahogany boardwalk to the harborfront beach. It's often sunny on our beach when the south shore beaches are foggy!The front of the cottage has a lovely, shaded private garden. Perfect for afternoon cocktails.

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 master bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom, 2d bedroom with a queen bed and 3d bedroom with 2 twin beds and full bathroom. All the beds, linens and towels in the house are new.

The kitchen is well equipped with new cookware, serving dishes and tools. The walls are paneled with a unique, beautiful, luan. The floors are all wide board oak.

The second floor has an open floor plan with a double bed, two settees which can also serve as twin beds, a sitting area and full bathroom. It is accessed by an outside staircase. The interior has been freshly painted white, and has comfortable furniture and wall-to-wall carpet. The views from the second floor - harbor and town - are very special. Great for guests, older children and in-laws.

You can look forward to showering in the outdoor shower while enjoying the view. The exterior trim, windows and doors were painted in 2014. A Weber gas grill is available for your BBQing needs.

Fantastic property, for a great price.

Fabulous views and beach access
We loved our stay at this great Monomoy house. My only concern is that the beds are full size, not queen size as advertised. Otherwise, fabulous!

The hosts were very accommodating and the location of the property was ideal. Short walk to private beach (sandy) with breathtaking sunsets. Grocery stores, pharmacy, gas station, etc. minutes away. We had a wonderful stay!

About the host

Host profile image
The house has been in our family since it was built in 1957 by Morris Ernst, my grandfather. It has been used as a summer home by my parents, who were diplomats in the foreign service. More recently, my family has used the house as a base for sailing, surfing, swimming, mountain and road-biking on Nantucket, vacationing with friends, and sometimes, working remotely.
