WHY SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED AT CAPTAIN ALEXANDER'S HIDEAWAY

1. Smoking is one of the main causes of preventable death worldwide.

2. Smoking around others does not show love. Those who are routinely subjected to secondhand smoke are at higher risk of some of the same diseases that smokers often suffer from.

3. The World Health Organization estimates that every year, about six million people die of diseases related to the use of tobacco, including over 600,000 nonsmokers affected by secondhand smoke. Consider how tobacco affects the health of those who use it and the health of others around them.

4. Cancer. Tobacco smoke contains over 50 carcinogenic chemicals. The Encyclopædia Britannica states that tobacco smoke is “believed to account for 90 percent of all cases of lung cancer.” Tobacco smoke can cause cancer in other organs, including the mouth, trachea, esophagus, throat, larynx, liver, pancreas, and bladder.
Respiratory diseases. Tobacco smoke increases the chances of respiratory ailments such as pneumonia and influenza. Children who regularly inhale secondhand smoke are more prone to suffer from asthma, chronic cough, and reduced lung growth and function.
Heart disease. Smokers are at greater risk of suffering a stroke or developing heart disease. Carbon monoxide present in tobacco smoke easily passes from the lungs to the bloodstream, where it displaces oxygen. With less oxygen available in the blood, the heart has to work harder to deliver oxygen to the body.
Effects on pregnancy. Women who smoke while pregnant increase the risk of their babies being born prematurely, with low birth weight, or with certain birth defects such as a cleft lip. Such babies could also develop respiratory problems or suffer sudden infant death syndrome.

    We enjoyed our stay here! The owners thought of everything and have maintained a very clean place. The keypad door code made it easy to check in and check out. Washer and dryer were very useful to have. The following were well equipped and had everything we needed, and more! - 1) kitchen 2) beach related items 3) bbq related items 4) information on what to do and where to eat, and more! And those reclining couches and massage chair in the living room were a hit with everyone! The beach is a 5 min walk along a shaded road. There's a convenient outdoor shower in the yard to wash off sandy feet before entering the house. The house is near the charming Harwich town with a great variety of restaurants, shops and cafes along Main Street. (J Bar for healthy salads & smoothies, Perks for late night drinks, Embre Coal Fire Pizza, Cape Roots Market & Cafe (they serve Snowy Owl coffee!) AND Sweet Izzy's (a stone's throw away) has really delicious ice cream! We highly recommend this place, and would return to stay!

    The Crow's Nest was perfect for our 4 night stay. It was spotless and exceeded our expectations in terms of size and comfort. Loved the massage chair, reclining sofa and chair! It had everything we needed including a washer dryer. The neighborhood was beautiful and well situated to access anything we needed or where we wanted to go. The beach down the street was super easy to get to and perfect for our needs. Gerry and Ruth were wonderful hosts. Very easy to contact and quick to respond. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay on the Cape.

    Apartment is clean and an easy walk to a very pleasant beach. The place has everything you need for the week. Owner is very much on site, and you will see him often, daily. When I first checked in, the air was not working and I was told it was because the windows had been left open, the sun was coming hot and I had to shut the windows down and wait 24 hours for the air to reset. This was day # 3 of the heatwave. Perhaps the AC could have been set for my arrival. One afternoon I went down the back stairs to the private area attached to the apartment, to get in the outside shower and the owner was there. He was removing the water bottles from the recycling bin and putting them in the trash. I wasn't sure why he was in the Private back yard while I was there. The place is clean and tidy, Gerald and his wife are nice people, however, they should respect the privacy of the guests that are staying.

    Clean clean clean. Both Gerald and Ruth were so gracious and felt like friends immediately. Our place was just perfect for us and we were happy to come home to it each evening. Would definitely stay again and again.

    The Crow's Nest is immaculately clean and very comfortable. Beautiful little neighborhood. Everything you need in the kitchen. Central air which is fabulous and comfortable beds. Huge flat-screen TV which the kids used mostly at night after being at the beach all day. Easy walking distance to the beach which my teenager was able to walk to in the early morning. Easy access to other parts of the Cape. Hosts graciously greeted us on arrival and answered any questions we may have had. Totally recommend this property to anyone heading to the Cape.

    Had a great stay here. Location is a walk from the beach and stores and restaurants were a short drive. The place is clean and you can tell the owners take pride with keeping it in great shape.

    Great place to stay. It was immaculate when we got there. The rooms were big and the living room was very comfortable. We were so close to the beach you could walk, and so many restaurants. It was just a great vacation and Jerry and Ruth could not have been nicer and more accommodating. I would go back any day.

    We really enjoyed our stay, 4 days was just the right amount for us. The walk to and from town was good exercise. The walk to the beach was easy and convenient. The owner spelled everything out and gave more than enough information to keep us busy. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you!
