Our Home

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

Check out our "google reviews page" and see what our guests are saying about ShoestringBayHouse. Read the comments and see why we are rated 5-stars. In the interest of full disclosure, make sure to check out the two star post by local guide Jeff Myers (and our neighbor). His review is hard to find because it keeps getting removed by  him  ( Jeff  Myers) ??? I have posted  a  screen  shot  of   it in our pictures section.  Not  sure  why  he  removed  it  after  posting  it  and  saying  such  derogatory  remarks  about  a  cancer  fund  rasier  our  guest  was  hosting .  

ShoestringBayHouse has obtained a permit to build a revetment along the seaward side of the property.  CJR Atlantic marine construction company has been selected as our contractor.  Due  to  supply  chain  issues,  a  firm  start  date  has  not  been  set. Updates will be posted as they become available. See the drop down menu section: "more". 

ShoestringBayHouse has partnered with All Cape Boat Rentals in Hyannis and Electric Rides in Mashpee Commons. If you are looking to get out and have more fun than you can imagine try renting a Boston Whaler (or pedal kayak rentals)  or an electric bike for a few days. You will be able to explore more of what the Cape has to offer. Please see our "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 fifteen years, investing in numerous upgrades from the original house.

We know how important your dog is and they are always welcome at ShoestringBayHouse. A small pet fee will apply. Our cleaning company also assesses a nominal fee anytime a dog is present in our home.
