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 Perception fishing kayaks that are available for rent on a weekly basis. These are high end, propeller driven kayaks. They 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. These kayak rentals include a fishing rod and safety gear. You just have to add the lures!  We can also arrange for the rental of a Boston Whaler through our partners page. 

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  week of August  and/ or Labor Day week is available at a  discount when taken as a shortened week. This would be a Saturday to Friday rental. 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.
