Family Attending a Funeral from Miami Florida

This place was large enough to accommodate my family size of 10. There was plenty of room to spread around and not to mention, the house was fully stocked with anything and everything you could need. Sean communicates quickly and is very attentive to details. Thank you Sean.

Captains Quarters

We had a wonderful time at the Captains Quarters. The house was as advertised and very clean. Its location was central to our activities. JP Wharf restaurant was very close (walking distance) and food there was excellent. We highly recommend this VRBO.

Great location and house

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at this great home! It was steps to the beach and their recommendation for JP’s was also great. The beds were super comfortable. Lovely home with great communication from the owner! Only negative was the taste/ smell of the water but we just had bottled water and it wasn’t a problem at all.

Great place first for a family trip

Captain's Quarters Rocks!

This is our second stay at Captian's Quarters as part of the annual American Select girls lacrosse showcase event. We comfortably slept 4 families and enjoyed all the amenities and upgrades the owner did since our last visit. The little community of Bowers Beach is great for a quick beach run, excellent food, and a fun night time tavern for adults; all within a 5 minute walk. Sean is a great owner and very responsive to anything you need.
