The cottage is located on a quiet, lovely, dead-end dirt road with a spacious yard in front and back (.9 acre). Great neighbors--owner occupied on either side and directly across the street. Young children love riding their bikes on this quiet road.
The cottage is a short 7 minute walk to Thumpertown Beach, a bayside beach where the water is warmer than 'the ocean side'. Children (and adults!) can easily ride their bikes to and from 'Thumpertown'. The beach is great for swimming at high tide, as well as walking at low tide. Children of all ages love exploring and making discoveries in the many tidal pools that form at low tide. Thumpertown Beach boasts some of the most magnificent sunsets.
After the beach, the back yard at the cottage offers peace and quiet, plenty of chairs for relaxing, a picnic table and barbecue. It is a great place to read or observe 'bird activity' and sounds of nature. The cottage is in a quiet spot, but close enough to easily hop in the car and drive to the Cape Cod National Seashore, The Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham, or the Wellfleet Bay Audubon Sanctuary in Wellfleet.
If you are hungry, you are close to many deli and sandwich shops(Sam's Deli on Brackett Rd--yummy) or Box Lunch for wraps and salads, fish restaurants (Friendly Fisherman--silver medal winner on Rte 6, or famous Arnold's--also Rte 6), chocolate stores, and The Hole In One Donut Shop.(highly recommended!)
