ShoestringBayHouse has obtained 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.  All permits and plans have been approved by the Town of Barnstable. 

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 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.

Summer 2022: The 2nd week of July and the last week of August are available at a discount. Please contact us to discuss the details. Restrictions will apply. 

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.
