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.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2021
Location is spectacular, just minutes away from the beach, restaurants, and the center of town. Hosts were very communicative and were readily available for anything we needed. The only thing holding it back from 4/5 stars was the home improvements going on during our stay for the other unit. Would highly recommend and we plan on giving it another go next year.
