“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.

“Peace and quiet with a side of ocean view and aromas”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

The house is beautiful and beautifully attired, yet comfortable and relaxing. Set on the rough granite of the Rockport coast, the lawn and porch offer solitude as boats sail and motor by. The breakfast was wonderful, many things from which to choose and a great granola. The heart of Rockport and Bearskin Neck, with the artists and quaint shops, good food, is near by. Hospitality could not be better! Our only regret was that the stay was too short!

“Breath taking view”

The overall view of the property when we pulled in took our breath away! We were warmly greeted by Howie and the dog. Sue relayed a knowledgable review of the area and the home. They both made our visit very special. Our room was beautifully decorated and we enjoyed the relaxing breakfast on the porch. The granola was excellent! The view from the whole house was remarkable. Such a cozy setting!

This was our second time to stay at The Captain's House, and it was just as beautiful this year as it was last year. I recommend Room 1. It has a private sunroom that overlooks the ocean. We've stayed in bed and breakfast homes along the coast from MA to northern Maine for the past three years in September or October. We've never stayed anywhere that can compare with the ocean view from Captain's House.

“Wonderful ocean view in a peaceful setting minutes from downtown Rockport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2010

person found this review helpful

Captain's House offers a panoramic view of the sea in a peaceful, private setting just minutes from downtown Rockport. This grand old house has an old world feeling with fresh decor and spotless, comfortable rooms. Breakfasts included an assortment of fresh foods with something for everyone. The hosts were attentive but unobtrusive. Bringing older children was easy since the placement of rooms made it easy to communicate even though they weren't adjoining.
