šŸšThe Bay Cottage on Thumpertown Beach

Experience the perfect coastal retreat just 176 yards from the bay in this charming 1940ā€™s cottage. Immerse yourself in outdoor bliss in the summer with complimentary kayaks, a patio with BBQ area, a bocce court, and a lush vegetable garden. Enjoy the comforts of modern living with air conditioning and heating for those cool nights by the bay. Whether you crave water adventures or a relaxing escape, this seaside cottage offers the ideal blend of comfort and nature.

We respect the autonomy of our guests but are available by text, email, phone, carrier pigeon, smoke signal, yodeling, or Facetime

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

Amazing summer beach days and sunsets await you at Thumpertown Beach. Just stroll down the road from your summer beach cottage which is your base camp for all things fun on Cape Cod this summer.

Everyone is enjoying each otherā€™s company while relaxing in the hammock and sitting around the deck watching the friendly competition going on in the bocce court, or the crazy game of badminton happening at the nets. See what is growing in the guests garden this year or take out one of the kayaks and paddle around the bay. You take a deep breath and breathe in that salty Cape air, breathing out the tensions and feeling the stress leave you like the tides. Splashing around on the flats at low tide will keep the kids entertained for hours as well.

The two-bedroom cottage has all the creature comforts. The first bedroom has a comfortable full bed for two. The second bedroom houses a bunk bed consisting of two single beds and the sunroom has a trundle bed that pulls out into two more beds. Like most daybeds, the trundle may not be the most comfortable for a full-sized man of six feet tall and 250 lbs., but one or two smaller adults, teens, or children that fit in a normal twin bed would be just fine.

The full-sized kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal but even so, who wants to cook when you are in one of the best vacation areas on Cape Cod? Each reservation comes with an award-winning guide to the best localā€™s insider tips and places to go, things to do, and places to see. You will also be staying close to Wiley Park and Great Pond, some of the greatest freshwater kettle ponds on the Cape. Hop on the Cape Cod Rail Trail and take a ride out to Nauset Light or maybe to the Chocolate Sparrow for a coffee. Everything is within reach here for the perfect family vacation.

Our Thumpertown Beach cottages are the perfect place to create memories that will last a lifetime. We would love to share all that Cape Cod has to offer, so please donā€™t hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have!

Perfect spot
Place was great for us and the kids. It's small but enough room where you don't feel cooped up and ar bumping into eachother. House is clean and stocked with everything you need (linens, towels, beach supplies and even sunscreen) unlike many other places. Beach was great at high tide to swim. Low tide was nice but had to walk really far out to cool off. Was happy to have AC/minisplit to cool off with this heat. Would definitely come again.

Lovely getaway
Beautiful cozy cottage perfect for couples or small families. Short walk to the bay side beach, perfect for capturing those sunsets.Heart of Cape Cod team did a wonderful job making sure everything was spotless prior to our arrival. Tara and her team think of everything. Forgot something? Donā€™t worry she probably has it waiting for you in the cottage. Nice walkable neighborhood with restaurants and shops 5 minutes away. Nice outdoor area for relaxing post hike/ swim. Host stays in contact regularly, making my first Vrbo experience a breeze. Would 100% book with Tara again for our next trip to the Cape!

Adorable beach cottage with an awesome location
We loved our stay at this adorable little beach cottage! Its location couldn't be better - just a short 5-min walk to Thumpertown Beach where you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets. Tara was super responsive and gave lots of great food recommendations. Would stay here again and recommend it to a couple or small group looking to stay in Eastham!

Tight quarters
Property was a short walking distance to the beach. Then you walked a long flight of stairs down to the beach. Bedrooms barely had enough room to maneuver on sides. Was sufficient for our overnight

Cape excursion
Well maintained, great grounds, responsive owner/host, highly recommended to couples & small families. Would think that renting all of owners' 3 properties with multiple couples/relatives would make for a great weekend!

Excellent property in the heart of Cape Cod
It was a wonderful cozy spot for our short stay at Cape Cod. The location was perfect and the cottage was very clean. The owners were lovely enough to leave us a few snacks that were local to the Cape (we really enjoyed them). Overall, itā€™s a great property to stay in!
