This property is picture perfect! Our whole family enjoyed every minute we were there. The Compound is a really special place, we were all together and still had our own space. The layout of the houses was ideal for our family and extended family. When we arrived the houses were all spotless. The kids loved swimming and fishing from the dock as well collecting various shells. The 4 kitchens were a huge plus for our “theme dinners”. We loved the fact that Nauset Beach was so close by and the proximity to shopping and the local restaurants was a huge plus. The owners were great and really personable. They have done a fantastic job with this landmark property right down to every last detail. I would recommend this rental to any large group looking for the quintessential getaway on Cape Cod, while still having all the modern conveniences of home. This rental was worth every penny, we look forward to returning again next year and for years to come – well done!
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

The Captain's Compound was the ideal place for our family reunion! What a beautiful spot - sea life in the water, rabbits galore and awesome sunrises. Best of all, our extended family were all there and not on top of one another as you find in other large rentals. Having the 4 homes was a dream come true...thank you!

The Sea Captains home...what a beautiful & welcoming property. Incredible views! Everyone fell in love with the feel of this house and the warmth within it. Every room has its own special character and feel. Would recommend it to all. Our only wish...we could all just live here.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We've taken 10 'family vacations' over the past 10 years - Maine, Wyoming, Colorado etc., and we all agreed this was the best. You have lovely facilities and the convenience of nearby beaches, shopping and restaurants. We had a great week, the house was beautiful & comfortable. Are hoping to be back every year - even the weather was perfect! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

Our group of Harvard Professors have rented many of the larger rentals on Cape Cod, this property is the very best by far. If you are looking for a private estate for a large group or family vacation, then look no further. See you again in the Spring!

What a lovely property! We filled the compound to capacity and had plenty of room. This was the location for our annual family summer vacation, a group of 20. The property was very clean and well maintained. The compound is divided into 4 houses/cottages which gave everyone their "own space" and the grandparents a quiet place to hide with the 11 children running around. Although we didn't swim from the docks, the kids spent hours fishing and crabbing down there. Sunrises were lovely and the yard gave us enough room for a lobster/clam bake and to set up the badminton tent. Shopping is very close by (within walking distance) which made it very easy for anything we needed! Great ocean and bay beaches are also close by. We have been doing our annual trip for 9 years and this property ranks at the top! I would recommend this property for any large group looking to have a fun and relaxing trip!

Our family rented the Captain Heman Smith House last fall for accommodations during our daughters wedding. The property was perfect! The wedding was held at the Chatham Bars Inn and The Captain Heman Smith Estate gave our family the feeling of having our own compound on Cape Cod for the long weekend. Family members were able to pop in and out giving us the perfect laid back gathering place. We loved the property so much we’re taking the family back next summer for a week in August! If you are looking for the ultimate Cape Cod vacation be sure to book a week at this landmark property.

Owner response:Thank you very much for your review! It means so much to us every time we hear about the great experiences families like yours have at the Compound. We look forward every summer to making the property even that much better. Summer on Cape Cod together with family and friends is what life is all about – creating an experience filled with memories that will last a lifetime. All the best!
