Velkommen til ''pet friendly'' ShoestringBayHouse directly on beautiful Popponesset Bay (our bay connects to Vineyard Sound). Get ready to enjoy a waterfront vacation home overlooking Shoestring Bay and your own wading beach where you can launch the supplied kayaks or maybe that sleek Boston Whaler you had delivered from All Cape Boat Rentals. If the beach and ocean are not your thing, relax by our unheated in-ground pool (open July 1st thru Oct 1st) or take that eBike you rented and go for a tour of Cotuit, Beebe Woods, the Falmouth or Cape Cod Rail Trail. We also include a couple of adult-use cycles. Our home has multiple living areas, each with spectacular water views and six central air-conditioning units, so all members of the group can have a secluded spot to watch television, read or just relax. There is even a second TV room and kitchen just for the teens. Our home is just 10 minutes from Mashpee Commons and New Seabury where you will find unparalleled dinning, shopping and entertainment.
At other rental homes on Cape Cod you will pay extra for some amenities, but not at ShoestringBayHouse. We include a Barnstable beach pass for your vehicle, along with beach chairs and umbrellas. Yes; bicycles and sit-on-top kayaks are also included ! Is there something extra that you need? We would be glad to include, at no charge, any nominal items that you need such as a secondary beach pass, bike or kayak rack, ''Pack n' Play'', high-chair or baby monitor. As an option, we can arrange for the rental of a Boston Whaler, eBike or a specialty pedal-kayak such as the Perception Pilot 12. You can anchor right at our beach, load up the boat and then head out to The Spit or nearby Sampson's Island.
We know how important your fur family member is to you and we welcome your well behaved dog. Our home features a fenced-in doggie play area that is attached to the garage. And speaking of ''pet friendly'' our home is adjacent to the Crocker Neck conservation area with miles of dog friendly hiking trails. This is one of the few dog friendly areas that you and your dog can enjoy together. There is even a small beach at the end of the trail where your dog can jump in the bay and cool off. (various pet fees may apply, TBD)

Our home comfortably sleeps eight (8) with provisions for two temporary guests in the media room and an extra trundle in the teens bedroom. There is also a half-bath adjacent to the teens bedroom. **Note: bedroom #4, the lower TV Room and the lower half-bath have been completely gutted and refurbished from the ground up.
Cotuit Beach Info: Since ShoestringBayHouse includes a beach pass you can drive to any of the numerous beaches in Barnstable. Within biking distance of our home are three town beaches. Mostly everyone heads over to Cotuit's Loop Beach with its gentle slope into the water. It also has a bath house and lifeguards so everyone will be safe and have fun. The kids love it when the ice cream truck rings its bell to signal its stop at the beach! Adults love the seclusion of the Main St (Oregon) Beach while sailors and kayakers love Ropes beach for its location in Cotuit Bay.
The wading beach right in front of our home is great for walking, sunsets, relaxing, crab chasing, playing catch with your dog and wading in the water for the kids. You can also anchor your boat right in front of our home. For fishing, just head down 50 yards to the point, where you will find incredible Striped Bass fishing during the season!
