Cotuit Beach Info: Since ShoestringBayHouse includes a vehicle beach pass you can drive to any of the numerous beaches in Barnstable. Just across the Cotuit peninsula, there are three beaches. Mostly everyone heads over to Loop Beach with a 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 ! Our wading beach is accessed by just a few stairs directly in front of our home (please see the picture for an accurate portrayal of the beach area).
Bath and bedding linen is NOT supplied. We DO supply pillows, cotton summer blankets (one per bed) and each bed has a bed pad. Our home is fully licensed and inspected by the Town of Barnstable.

The pool was definitely a highlight - with a beautiful water view! You can even go kayak to fully enjoy. House is large, well furnished, and has everything for a fun family vacation (games, tv / game room, lots of space for everyone). Owner is very responsive. Close to many nice hikes and Cape Cod highlights (beach, Falmouth/Woods Hole, etc)
Great communication from owner!
The house was clean, the views are stunningly beautiful, and the host is very engaged and responsive. The house is in need of a little updating here and there, though. It was still a great stay, but for top dollar I would expect some updated bathrooms, better seating area and TV in the main room, and a newer carpet in the parlor room. Perhaps it’s nitpicking but as I compare other rentals at this price point this was not as new, or refreshed. All that said we had a fantastic week.
We enjoyed our 2 week stay at this comfortable and spacious house. The kids loved the large pool! There was plenty of outdoor space for hanging out by the pool, including a shaded patio and corn hole for the kids. We loved the view of the bay, including sunsets over the water, plus swans, herons and osprey. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
Beautiful view, total privacy, amazing house....very family friendly. The host was the best, always got back to us immediately and supplied the house with everything we could possibly need. All ready booked for next year!
The house actually feels much larger than the pictures show. There is a lot of open space on the main floor. I would highly recommend this house for renting.
We enjoyed our first vacation away with our 8 month old twins. Grandparents came along to help and there was plenty of space to spread out while still feeling cozy. House extremely clean and tidy. The two kitchens were handy & bedrooms on 2 floors was nice to have. Parents had a chance to escape to pool & kayak while grandparents watched the kids!
Don't hesitate to reserve this wonderful home in Cotuit. We loved everything about the house and the quiet neighborhood. The open layout of dining/living/sunroom areas was great. Plenty of room to gather together for dinner/breakfast ... or separate from each other to read or compute. Our group was 7 retired adults but we could see what a great house it would be with children. Two of us enjoyed the kayaks on a beautiful September morning while others went off on a whale watch. We loved relaxing with cocktails on the upper deck and one evening a heron was fishing right on the little beach below the deck. One night we had a lobster dinner on the lower deck (near pool). Ordered cooked lobsters from Stop&Shop (much easier than cooking ourselves). Two other Cape friends joined us that night for dinner. We all enjoyed early morning and evening walks in the surrounding neighborhood. Do stop by the charming Cotuit General Store ... they have good food for take out. Our only dinner out was at the Kettle Ho which is not far from the house. Lots of locals there - food was good. Paul, the owner, was great. He's very organized and clearly he & his family take very good care of their beautiful home. It was very comfortable and very clean! We would definitely recommend this property to family & friends!!!
Thank you!! Our blended-extended family, friends and dogs enjoyed every fun beautiful moment at your gorgeous home! We all loved the house, pool, neighborhood and being right on the water! We also had the best weather to top it off!! ? Everything about this home and property added to a perfect wknd together!! Thank you for being so accommodating to our group! We were so comfortable and felt at home immediately! The only negative was leaving ? Highlights were kayaking to the spit, volleyball in the pool, corn hole on your front lawn and a delicious lobster boil ? We appreciated the way your specious and beautiful home is wired up for music, TV etc and the air conditioning kept us comfortable on the hot muggy days!! We hope to return next year!! ? Thank you again so much!!
A resort-like setting with a home-like feel. Very clean, spacious, comfortable accommodations for 3 generations of family. Lots of thoughtful amenities giving you no reason to get in the car! Walking, biking, hiking, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing - all accessible from a picturesque setting. The only downside was having to leave! Paul is a very accommodating, responsive property owner with genuine concern for his guests.
