Why smoking is not allowed at Captain Alexander’s
1. Smoking is one of the main causes of preventable death worldwide.

2. Smoking around others does not show love. Those who are routinely subjected to secondhand smoke are at higher risk of some of the same diseases that smokers often suffer from.

3. The World Health Organization estimates that every year, about six million people die of diseases related to the use of tobacco, including over 600,000 nonsmokers affected by secondhand smoke. Consider how tobacco affects the health of those who use it and the health of others around them.

4. Cancer. Tobacco smoke contains over 50 carcinogenic chemicals. The Encyclopædia Britannica states that tobacco smoke is “believed to account for 90 percent of all cases of lung cancer.” Tobacco smoke can cause cancer in other organs, including the mouth, trachea, esophagus, throat, larynx, liver, pancreas, and bladder.
Respiratory diseases. Tobacco smoke increases the chances of respiratory ailments such as pneumonia and influenza. Children who regularly inhale secondhand smoke are more prone to suffer from asthma, chronic cough, and reduced lung growth and function.
Heart disease. Smokers are at greater risk of suffering a stroke or developing heart disease. Carbon monoxide present in tobacco smoke easily passes from the lungs to the bloodstream, where it displaces oxygen. With less oxygen available in the blood, the heart has to work harder to deliver oxygen to the body.
Effects on pregnancy. Women who smoke while pregnant increase the risk of their babies being born prematurely, with low birth weight, or with certain birth defects such as a cleft lip. Such babies could also develop respiratory problems or suffer sudden infant death syndrome

At the Captain
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Captain Alexander's. The property was exactly as advertised and was SPOTLESS! I spent most of my time golfing, but when I was there it was quiet and very relaxing. Communicating with Gerri and Ruth was quick and easy. I highly recommend Captain Alexander's!!
Stayed 28 nights in Jun 2023

A week at the Cape
Captain Alexander was a great location for us because we wanted ton visit as much as possible. The facilities were just enough for us. The place is small and has everything needed, but we were outside most of the time.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022

Well located
We liked the location. The beach was really well located and it was easy to get to the bike path. The BBQ and outside shower was nice. The apartment was small but perfect for 2 people. Otherwise, we had problems with the operation of the microwave and we saw a lot of ants everywhere Inside and outside. Housekeeping seemed not done properly, the windows, floor and microwave was not really clean. The outside seemed a little abandoned. Too expensive for the quality comparing with several rental we did. The apartment would need a refresh. We made great vacation anyway. Thank you.

Great little Studio
We stayed a long weekend in the downstairs studio. Ben was helpful getting us in even though we were later than expected and checked in with us after arrival. The place was clean and bright. The bathroom was spacious, clean and newer. The house was very centrally located and we biked to downtown Harwich for breakfast, the beach and the ferry to Nantucket in just a few minutes, great location. We spent very little time at the place because there was so much to explore and the weather was perfect. The bed was a full (remember your own linens and pillows) and the microwave was a bit finicky but the A/C worked well (it was a scorcher of a weekend) and altogether the price was right, great value for a surprise vacation stay on the cape with my wife of 15yrs. We never met our hosts (Ben offered to meet up with us) but there was no need as they left us a key and everything was pretty easy to figure out. This was a perfectly low key getaway from our kids and busy lives to spend some time together for a 2nd honeymoon kind of spot. Great value for the Cape! Thanks so much for being part of our special anniversary, it was a total success and we created memories for a lifetime. Steve and Laura

Small Apartment
IT WAS PERFECT! My fiancé and I are very simple individuals, didn't expect much luxury and whatnot. But once we arrived, Ben was extremely helpful with everything. The place was perfect for 2 people...it had absolutely everything you needed; kitchen appliances - from a toaster, blender, microwave, fridge, cups, forks, spoons etc. The place was very clean and nothing was out of place. It had Netflix and Hulu...I mean what else could you ask for. It's the perfect place to get away and relax, the beach was a 2 minute walk. Shops, restaurants, grocery store and activity places are very close. You honestly don't need a car to go around. Price rage is awesome, no doubt about that. Above all, we are very happy with our experience. Very special. Seeing people go for their morning walks and jogs were nice. Very nice people, always saying "Good Morning!" or a "Hello, how are you?" once you pass them. So, I just want to say THANK YOU for this experience! We will definitely come back and make this a tradition.

Have been in the vacation rental business over 40 years we brought up our two kids in this home.

Why they chose this property

This was our second home on cape cod and ever since I was about 8 my family has always vacationed in Harwich. My dad thought I was insane when I bought my first home on Cape CID back in 1983 for $63,000.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the beach and Harwich Port only steps away.
