Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, this cozy Thumpertown Beach cottage is your perfect seasonal retreat—just a 4-minute stroll to the bay’s sandy shores and endless low-tide flats. Relax in the hammock, grill under the stars, or play a game of bocce in the yard. With a full kitchen, sunny porch, outdoor shower, and classic Cape charm, it’s an ideal escape for small families or friends seeking seaside simplicity and joy.

Communication with guests is important to us. Please be sure you have app notifications turned on for your phone as this will be our means of communicating with you before, during, and after your stay. Our digital guidebooks contain directions, instructions, and access information. It is your responsibility to review this information prior to arrival. I respect the autonomy of my guests and can easily be reached by facetime, email, text, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, or yodeling.

Thumpertown is a bayside beach. Close to freshwater ponds, Cape Cod Rail Trail (bike trail), Arnolds, Coast Guard and Nauset Light beach, Salt Pond Visitors Center, Eastham Windmill, and First Encounter beach.

Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, our Thumpertown Beach cottage is your quintessential Cape Cod escape just steps from the sandy shores of Thumpertown Beach. Less than a 4 minute walk brings you to the bay at low tide, where endless flats stretch toward the horizon, sunsets set the water aglow, and salty breezes carry the day’s cares away. This cozy two bedroom cottage combines classic Cape charm with comfortable living — the perfect seasonal retreat for small families or friends who want to experience seaside simplicity and joy.

From the moment you arrive, the rhythm of the coast unfolds before you. Wander down to the beach for sandy toes, splash around the flats at low tide, or simply relax in the sun while the kids explore nearby tidal pools. Back at the cottage, friendly games of bocce, Cornhole, or Kan Jam fill the yard with laughter while you grill fresh seafood and enjoy a picnic under the open sky. As the sun dips low, a stroll down to the water to toast the golden hues reflecting off the bay promise another perfect seaside memory.

Inside, the full kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts before beach walks to hearty dinners after long days in the sun. The sun porch with all its windows serves as a cozy place to curl up and watch a favorite movie on the streaming TV, or linger at the dining table for card games and stories that stretch into the evening.
