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.

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!

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!

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.

Wonderful Weekend at the Captain's House

The Captain's House was a wonderful place to stay while we were in town for a wedding. There were 13 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is gorgeous with a well stocked kitchen, much better than any other rental I've used. Jeanmarie was very accessible and responsive. I would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.

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

Beautiful house with huge front porch and law in Centerville

The Captain’s House is ideal for a large family or friends get together. The bedrooms are large, and there are a number of fun places for the group to gather—an enormous front porch with rockers, a large front lawn ideal for lawn games, a spacious back patio with a fire pit, and a large dining room that comfortably seats 10 for food or board games. Jeanine is a helpful and welcoming host.

Amazing space

The owner of the property was fantastic to work with. She responded almost immediately to all of my inquiries right from the start. That in and of itself made me feel comfortable about renting from her. When I let her know that we broke a glass, she said it was no problem and she would order another one to have it replaced for future guests. We were four separate groupings of people: grandparents who stayed on the first floor bedroom and then three families with children ranging in age from 11 to 21. Each grouping was able to have their own full bathroom and space was arranged such that the bedroom is easily aligned with that bathroom. The second floor twin bedroom did have issues with temperature control. There were no vents in that room so the air conditioning only would work if the two sets of bedroom doors were left open. On cooler nights, leaving the windows open helped a lot. Two of the bathrooms had small showers but the hot water heater was excellent. We never ran out of hot water and had good water pressure despite having 13 people in the house showering. The third floor was musty upon arrival but seemed to improve notably when getting the air conditioners going up there. Temperature control on the third floor was very good as a result. It is an older house so some areas are a bit worn however the place was extremely clean. The location is fantastic. It’s right in the middle of this cute town with a 0.3 mile walk to the best ice cream in town and the 0.9 mile walk or bike ride to the beach. Getting back-and-forth to the beach was convenient between the one beach pass available and then the ability for everyone else to ride bicycles back-and-forth. The kitchen had excellent space and almost every gadget you could imagine. Especially with the very pleasant interactions with the owner, I would give this a five star review. The price for the space with the house and location is well worth it. Perfect for an extended family gathering.
