About this property

Beachfront Monomoy cottage right on the beach.

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/queen 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 a game or a show.

Town is 2 miles away, which is about 10 mins drive or bike, or a half-hour walk. 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 front of the house or the beach.

Enjoy being in an updated-but-authentic beach cottage that feels like home.

Gaze at the amazing stars during the evening, sleep with the smell of the harbor and a light breeze, then wake up in paradise and do it again!

MORE TRADITIONAL INFO: 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 and a full bathroom, a 2d bedroom with a queen bed and 3d bedroom with 2 twin beds that can be combined 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 the beds, linens and towels in the house are new.

The kitchen is well equipped with cast iron and new Green Pan cookware, serving dishes and tools including a blender, wafflemaker, top of the line toaster oven, and more. The walls throughout are 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.

About the host

Hosted by David Ernst

Host profile image
The house has been in my family since1957, when it was built by Morris Ernst, my grandfather. It has been used as a summer home by my parents, who returned most years from living overseas as diplomats. Now, my family uses the house as a base for getting together with each other and friends, plus swimming, surfing, sailing, biking, eating at favorite restaurants like Black-Eyed Susan. We like being hosts and offering an authentic Nantucket experience to our guests.

Why they chose this property

Monomoy is a quiet, dead-end street very close to town and on the water. We enjoy most the sunset, and being on the water. Being just a few hundred yards from the harbor => being in touch with the tides, ferries, wind, fog and nature - and creates, outside-in, real shift from our "normal" i.e. busy, lives. Also, in case no one has confessed it to you, "fog happens" on Nantucket, and Monomoy seems to have the best weather on the island, with lots of sun at times when other parts are foggy or cloudy.


What makes this property unique

Unique attributes, esp combined: 1) Monomoy loc; 2) own beach with direct access; 3) authentic cottage, not predictable all white beach rental 4) outdoor shower!; 5) sunset views !!!
