Description

Description

Thank you for your interest in the Simpson Cottage!

This 1930's cottage is a throwback to old Cape Cod and has been enjoyed by my family since my great grandfather built it by hand. It's straight out of the cottages you'd see in the films ''Summer of '42''' or Jaws. Sandy feet, kids, dogs are welcome. Many love it; but it's not for everyone, and that's ok!

With five bedrooms and 1.5 baths, it can accommodate a large family and is great for kids. The maximum occupancy is 10 people. There is plenty of room to spread out, with an eat-in kitchen, large living room, front porch, and room to lay out in the sun on the side of the house. There is a shower head with cold and hot water outside for rinsing the salt and sand off by the side door, but it is not enclosed. The cottage has off-street parking for four cars, and there is no street parking available in the neighborhood. Note that given the limitations of its age, there is no AC, washer/dryer, or dishwashing machine.

The cottage is in the middle of a quiet, sand/gravel dead-end street about 100 yards from a semi-private sand beach (shared with other houses in the area). You can walk along the shore for miles, fish, or head down to the public beach in West Dennis for a livelier beach atmosphere and snack bar. There's a playground a short walk to the end of the road. One can also walk down to the ''Sand Bar'' for food, cocktails, and nightlife, or the Lighthouse Inn's restaurant.

    The house is exactly as described. We loved the rustic atmosphere of the house. It was cool with the windows open with the ocean breeze. The best part was the closeness to the ocean. We spent every morning there with our coffee. The neighbors were very friendly and we enjoyed visiting. Will definitely rent again if we can coordinate times.

    Staying at this charming cottage was a wonderful Cape Cod experience for my family and I. This was our 10th Cape vacation, and although all we're special, this may have been my favorite spot. To start, the location is sublime. Situated on Nantucket Sound where the water is calm and warm, the house is located about 150 feet from the sand, and 200 from the water at the neighborhood beach. If you want a livelier beach scene, it's also walking distance to West Dennis Beach, Swan River, and Bass River, and an easy bike ride to any number of South shore beaches between Yarmouth and Dennisport. The wonderfully engaging and communicative owner offered lots of guidance about the property and the area, and was available for questions and advice prior to and throughout our stay. Again, I've had a number of great Cape experiences and this may have been my favorite. I highly recommend this property, especially if you're looking to immerse yourself in the spirit of old Cape Cod. show more show less

    This is no-frills house that is very comfortable and functional and great for sleeping lots of people. We had family of all ages come and visit and we walked a quick walk to the beach a couple times a day where the water was warm. (We are used to colder parts of the Atlantic ocean.) We were also able to walk down the beach to a another swim place, a tidal river beach which the kids loved. All communication was very clear.

    We enjoyed the cabin, having the ocean so close and for Steve being just an email away when needed. Definitely recommend!

    Had a wonderful beach vacation stay here! The house is 'rustic' and dated however a charming beach cottage. It wasn't too hot while we were there but without a breeze i could see it getting pretty hot. Had everything we needed, very close to a wonderful little beach. Steve was helpful and great to communicate with. Recommend this property!

    Hi! I'm Steve Simpson. I've been coming to this cottage for as long as I've been alive -- going on 46 years. I've now been managing our rentals for about 25 years.

    What is special about this property?
    Over decades, the cottage hasn't changed that much -- for better or worse -- but it remains a central part of my family's history and a central gathering place for us. Those who have been coming to the Cape for a long time will reminisce about how our cottage was ''what the Cape used to be like.'' It's a simple place to gather with family and friends, drink coffee on the porch, and listen to the waves at night through open windows. It's incredibly comforting in that way.
