Wonderful place, poor logistics
I stayed at this place last weekend and although it was beautiful and in a great location, I had two issues. 1) the owner forced me into buying VRBO insurance when I refused to send him a $500 security deposit in the mail. I told him he was supposed to charge security deposit through the app and I would have no problem with that but since the reservation had already gone through, he couldn’t so he said I had to buy insurance, or send him $500 in the mail or else he would cancel. Very unprofessional that I had to buy insurance because of his mistake in not charging security deposit upon booking 2) Throughout our stay, the owner was constantly around. For the most part I did not care because he was a nice guy but when we came back from the beach one day, he followed us into the back yard to make sure we washed off the sand outside before going in the house. It was off putting to be treated in such a childish manner. He has far too many rules to read through and the constant communication prior to and during the stay is exhausting. Overall, I likely would not stay here again for these reasons but if you can get past these things, it is a beautiful house in a great area.

Fantastic
Simply put, Captain Alexander’s was fantastic! A group of us were in town for a wedding, and needed a large space that was close to the action. Captain Alexander’s checked all the boxes and then some. The home is beautiful, the amenities (hot tub, putting green, gourmet kitchen, etc.) are top notch, the beach is a 5 minute walk, and Jerry and Ruth are extremely attentive. We can’t say enough good things about the home and trip. We are already planning our next visit!

Family vacation
Property is well taken care of. Only a short walk to the beach which was great for our crew of 9. Owners were very responsive, sent several emails about the area and left a nice gift for us. We would recommend this property to others.

Great place and location!!
We had a wonderful stay at Captain Alexander’s. We rented the two units and had family and friends with us. Great layout if you want some extra space for guests. The backyard, putting green and deck were terrific. Both units were well stocked with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The Captain and Ruth were a pleasure to rent from. You can’t beat the location- a 5-7 minute walk to Earle beach. Overall terrific choice and we would stay there again.

About Gerald & Ruth Hirsh

Have been in the vacation rental business since 1986

Why Gerald & Ruth Hirsh chose Harwich

My dad always took us to the Cape on a summer vacation since I was about 7. So buying a home on Old Cape Cod was not a problem. Captain Alexander's is only 3. Tenth of a mile from a great warm water beach. And Harwichport has lots of fun things to do while on the Cape.

Why they chose this property

What makes this House unique

Pack your car up with your beach chairs cooler beach blanket and all your fun things for the beach then drop everyone and everything off at the beach and put your car back in our driveway and walk to the beach less than 5 minutes. And save the price of parking and use it for the ice cream truck. Also water park. Mini golf, trampoline, Go carts and excellent restaurants all within 5 minutes
