Our Home

Paul and Maria Thompson, along with our daughter Meredith welcome you to ShoestringBayHouse.

ShoestringBayHouse is in the preliminary stages of obtaining a permit to build a revetment along the seaward side of the property. All construction will be done in the off season. We anticipate no construction taking place during July and August. Please contact us with specific questions. 

We now offer  a selection of optional fishing kayaks that are available for rent on a weekly basis. These are high end, propeller driven kayaks. These are great for exploring the outer bay and beaches or for the serious fisherman who wants to hook the larger Stripers or Blues. These are available for rent ($499) on a weekly basis and do require a substantial security deposit. Please inquire. These kayak rentals include a rod and safety gear. You just have to add the lures! We feature Perception kayaks (see our listing partners page for a link)

Our family originally purchased this property in 1981 after falling in love with Cotuit village and the serenity of the area. My parents were the second owners of the property. This house, built overlooking the Bay offers incredible views from all rooms. During ShoestringBayHouse's next journey, we have been slowly updating the house over the past ten years, investing in numerous upgrades from the original house.

The last two weeks of August are available at a significant discount when taken as a shortened week. Usually 12 or 13 days. Please email us to discuss.  

We know how important your dog is and they are always welcome at ShoestringBayHouse. During the summer, your first non-shedding dog under 30 lbs is complimentary. You only pay a nominal fee for your second dog.
