I will keep coming to the Ocean Cottage for as long as it is a rental! Tara is my faithful and helpful buddy along the way, and she always ensures that my booking is smooth. Clean always, amenities are perfect, and it is the perfect Cape cottage.
Description
Welcome to Ocean Cottage, brought to you by The Heart of Cape Cod. Just a short stroll from Thumpertown Beach, this cozy fall retreat captures the beauty of Cape Cod’s quieter season.

Neighborhood
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.
Space
Welcome to Thumpertown Beach, where the spirit of fall meets the soul of Cape Cod. September and October bring what the locals call our “second summer”—warm bay waters, quiet beaches, and a softer rhythm that invites you to slow down and savor the Cape as it was meant to be.
As the crowds fade, the beach becomes your private retreat. Watch the sun melt into the bay in a blaze of amber and rose, then wander for miles along the flats in peaceful solitude. Back at the cottage, laughter drifts across the deck as bocce and badminton matches unfold under the autumn sky. Slip into the hammock, breathe in the briny air, and let the sound of the tide smooth out whatever stress followed you here.
Inside, this two-bedroom cottage offers all the comfort of home. The main bedroom has a full bed, while the second features a bunk with two twins, plus a sunroom with a trundle—ideal for kids or smaller guests. The full kitchen is stocked for easy meals, though local favorites nearby may tempt you out for chowder and cranberry cocktails instead.
With the Cape Cod Rail Trail just minutes away and the National Seashore and kettle ponds within reach, adventure and tranquility live side by side here. Thumpertown’s charm lies in its simplicity—warm light, salt air, and the promise of another perfect sunset.
Highlights:
• An award-winning, custom, digital house manual with local fall recommendations included with each stay (no apps or downloads required)
• 1 Full bed, 4 Twins (1 Bunk / 1 Trundle)
• 1 full bathroom with shower, plus a large outdoor shower
• Luxurious linens, duvets, Turkish towel sets, and bath towels provided for a cozy, restful stay
• Eco-friendly toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, and body wash free from sulfates, phosphates, and microbeads
• Full kitchen with everything you need for hearty fall meals or easy dinners after a beach walk
• Coffee bar with drip coffee maker, French press, hot water kettle, regular and decaf coffee, and assorted teas
• Bocce court, Kan Jam, Cornhole, and Badminton provided
• Gas grill and charcoal grill for the purists, plus picnic tables for outdoor dining
• Hammock and patio seating for relaxed afternoons and stargazing nights
• Strong WiFi and streaming TV
• Heat and ceiling fans throughout for comfort in every season
• Thumpertown Beach at the end of the road (less than a 4-minute walk) for unforgettable sunsets
• Family-friendly home with baby and toddler gear available for rent, including Pack-n-Plays, high chairs, strollers, and more (details provided after booking)
• Pet-free property (strictly no pets allowed)
• Professionally cleaned by a VRMA award-winning company using detailed checklists and EPA-approved sanitization products
Because plans can change like the tides, we always recommend travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod getaway.
