This historic property is absolutely beautiful, well maintained and so homey. We were on the Cape for my father-in-law's memorial service and needed a place to accommodate all eleven of us. This house was perfect and the location was so convenient. Our host was very kind and welcoming, giving us extra time beyond the usual checkout time to give us a breather before heading back home. We cannot begin to express our gratitude.

Wedding weekend bliss

We are part-time residents of Centerville who needed a large house to accommodate our family for a wedding weekend. The Captain’s House exceeded all expectations for this event. The host was incredibly helpful for any of our requests. We highly recommend this property if you are interested in a classic New England sea captains home. We loved our stay and you will too.

Great place fora big crowd.

Perfectly situated. Big old house in great shape. Lots of stairs but with 6 adults plenty of room to stretch out. Only complaint was no cable so no network TV. Had a CO2 detector going off when we arrived and the Home Watcher was there to put in a new battery within 30 minutes

Great week in Centerville

This is a fabulous house for a large group - plenty of "personal" space at the same time very warm and inviting. Centerville is a wonderful village and Craigville Beach is a short bike ride away. The house was clean and had all the needed items for a week on the Cape - beach chairs, grill, outside space with fire pit, etc. We had a wonderful week and will certainly keep this house in our list of possibles when we return to the Cape again.

Perfect Vacation

This wonderful large home easily accommodated my family of 10. Hard to believe it was originally built in the 1880s, since it was so nicely updated! This home is very well stocked with any kitchen items needed, as well as a nice variety of spices. We celebrated the Fourth of July with a barbecue, followed by roasting marshmallows for s’mores at the fire pit. Great memories! Already booked for next year!

Throwback in Time

The Sea Captain’s house was a unique experience for our group. Within walking distance to the beach, which we did daily, and getting to experience staying in an 1800 Victorian home, our stay will forever be a fond memory! We were a group of 8, four mothers and four daughters, ages 50-80. The only challenge we had was the third floor rooms and bathroom, which would probably be more suitable for teenagers. Lovely home!

Family Thanksgiving Celebration

The home was perfect for our multi-generational Thanksgiving Celebration. Ages ranged from 4 to 85 years old. We had plenty of room to relax and the rooms were comfortable and cozy. The home came stocked with tons of plates, cups, utensils, etc etc etc which is always important. We had a great time! Our host was communicative and was very committed to making sure we had everything we needed. If we need to host a similar family gathering, this will be our first choice! Thank you!!

Great Outdoor Spaces

We stayed at The Captain's House with three generations, including seven children and the house was perfect for our large party. We spent most of our time in the rocking chairs on the front porch or around the fire pit on the back patio. The front yard was perfect for the kids to play wiffle ball. The house is close to everything you need, including several beaches and our favorite spot-Joshua's Pond. Property manager was quick to respond when we needed the gas grill repaired for those important grill nights! Grocery store and package store super close as well. If you are looking for an idyllic Cape Cod vacation, this is your house!

Awesome week in Centerville

After an amazing week in Centerville, the captains house will be positively etched in the collective memories of Kivney family summer vacations. The house provided all the features we could want, most importantly a tremendous front porch, large yard, fire pit and outdoor dining capabilities. Not to mention the ample living spaces with all the expected comforts of home. Proximity to the recreation center baseball field added a new element to our memories this year as wiffleball heroics will be discussed and embellished for years to come. And, of course, the old standbys: Craigville Beach, Four Seas ice cream and great cape golf courses delivered hours of excitement and fun Thanks So much for sharing your awesome house with us.

Perfect for our family

This was the perfect house for our family to rent during our holiday in Cape Cod. With our 4 adult children, their spouses and our 4 grandchildren under 4, we never felt cramped for space, loved that we could cook in the big well furnished kitchen and eat together in the spacious dining area. With the seven bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, everyone had their own space and never qa line for the shower. It's location on the cape was also great as we could walk to the beach, cute little village shops, but also close for a quick drive to Hyannis. My family wants to return. Mary
