Where....Cape Cod cottages with pink shutters, flowering window boxes and weathered shingles are scattered among shade trees, flower gardens and manicured lawns.

And just around the corner are three warm, sunny beaches in Hyannis (which by the way, has its well known "Main Street" less than one mile north of the village).

Hyannis Harbor, with the coming and going of sailboats, fishing boats and ferries to Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard, is also within strolling distance.

Flexibility is the keyword at Captain Gosnold Village in Hyannis, where the accommodations range from motel rooms and efficiency/studio units, to one, two, and three bedroom cottages. All units are one-level, with lawn area, picnic tables, gas grills, most with decks. Although the natives insist on the generic term "cottages", our units are more "house" than "cottage" in many respects.

Each cottage is unique in its decorations and furnishings, with well-equipped kitchens, wall-to-wall carpeting, and many personal touches, providing a "home-away-from home" for our guests. Each bedroom has its own bath, solving "that" problem, particularly where three or four showers a day may be the norm.

If there is a chef "in-residence", brunch, lunch, or a full-blown banquet can be handled in the kitchen (giving you the option of not having to eat out 3 times a day, an added money-Saving bonus!). Cocktail hour on the deck or the lawn is a very pleasant interlude after a day at the beach or the pool. If you insist upon leaving the Village one of the most popular restaurants in Hyannis is right across the street. (The only other exception to our residential neighborhood.) Daily maid service (except Sundays) is a major part of our focus on relaxation and is provided by our friendly staff whose emphasis is on the guest and service. (Remember we don't do windows or dishes!)

Captain Gosnold Village is a replica of a small Cape Cod neighborhood or village, with a large heated pool in the center of.the property which is extensive, affording a secluded, relaxed, informal vacation setting, with wide expanses of lawn, flowers, and trees, interspersed along the driveways. A children's playground is located at one end of the property, with adult recreational equipment also available. We are family-oriented and try to anticipate the needs of the youngest to the oldest guest.
