“Great Views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

Enjoyed a short stay with fab views of the Atlantic. The weather made this too windy for sitting out but the breakfast room offers the same view. Lovely well kept B&B with helpful hosts who can give ideas about the best days out in the area. Enjoyed the walk down to Rockport for a browse around the boutique style shops and of course for fishy suppers. A good base for touring the area.

Room Tip: Room 1 has the best views, the private bathroom is next door, however the views are really best enjo...

“Come For The View!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

Everything written about views and location is right on - beautiful. You can enjoy gorgeous views from lawn chairs at edge of the Atlantic, on the outside covered porch, glass enclosed eating area or your room. Neighborhood is beautiful; great for walking. Rockport just around corner and Gloucester is a very short drive along the water - spectacular views. Breakfast is continental, as advertised, but had fresh baked muffins both mornings and my wife thought the homemade granola was great. Home is early 1900's so there's some upkeep issues, shower water could've been a bit hotter, but still very nice with modern amenities - mini fridge, microwave, snacks, computer and small flat screen tv in sitting area. You come to the coast for the coast and it's at your doorstep. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Room Tip: Rm 3 with private bath had great view of ocean and good price - leave windows open for great sea bre...

“Heaven!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

This has to be one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed at! The location, the hosts, the inn, the view from the room, the proximity to the town...I could go on and on! It was wonderful - Thank You!!

Room Tip: The rooms facing the ocean are obviously the best. There are two, a suite with a sun room/sitting a...

“Must consider staying at the Captain's House”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010

My husband and I just stayed at the Captain's House for 3 nights about a week ago and loved it. The view of the ocean from our room 4 was beautiful, as was our room. Tim and Gretchen have a wonderful B&B, and it was just an all-around nice stay. Some people don't care for a Bed & Breakfast, but the atmosphere there is very relaxed. It was much cleaner and quieter than staying in a hotel. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choices each morning. They have a mini fridge, microwave, hot water for tea, popcorn, along with other nice things to make your stay comfortable. They are more than willing to give you any information you need to make your trip enjoyable. It's a convenient location if you're staying anywhere near Cape Ann or Boston. No doubt I'd definitely stay there again.
